Listening Part 1

In Part 1 of the Listening test you will hear people talking in eight different situations.  They can be monologues or dialogues.  You choose the correct answer A, B or C for each situation.  There is one point for each question.

Tips

• Read the question before the options and underline the key words
• Each question is based on a different situation
• Focus on each new text as you hear it.  Do not look back at the question you have just done or the one that comes next.
• Decide on one of the options after the first listening.  If you are not sure, make a sensible guess by eliminating the options you are sure are not the answer.
• Do not listen for single words.  Listen for the general meaning.
• If you don't understand every word, don't worry. 
• Try to relax!
