Task 3- Multiple choice
 Task 1 - multiple choice
• 3 questions with 3 pictures for each question
Consists of: • And 3 questions with 3 statements as options
for the answer
Strategy: Speakers often change their minds while talking
about the subject. So when a question asks about
the speaker’s opinion, you should listen carefully
to the whole recording before you choose the
answer. Remember that all the 3 items shown in
the pictures may be mentioned in the recording,
but only one of them is the correct answer.
First listening - you make your choice , second
listening-you try to hear why/why not (mind
distractors!).
Task 1 - multiple choice (listening for specific information)
 Task 2 - T/F
The task: Listen to the text. For statements choose T if the statement is true, and F,
if the statement is false. You will listen to the text twice.

Consists of: 5 statements

Strategy:
T/F statements often focus on a particular fact or detail from the recording. Identifying
the key words in the statements can help you identify what information you need to
listen for. The statements often use different words from the recording to express the
same ideas. When you hear the topics from the statements mentioned in the recording,
listen carefully to exactly what the speaker says about them. Pay attention to details, as
these often help you decide on the meaning of what is said.
Some of the statements may include the same words as in the recordings, but that
doesn’t mean they are true- focus on the information the speakers give , not only on the
words they use. On the first listening try to identify the parts of the recording that
contains the relevant information. On the second listening , pay closer attention to
details.
 Listen to the audio and write
down as many details as possible
Task 2 – T/F (listening for specific information)
 Task 3 - multiple choice
The task: Listen to the text. For questions (1-*) choose the correct answer (A,B or
C). You will listen to the text twice.

1 story/5 questions with 3 options for

Consists of: each question

Strategy: First read the questions with options, then- underline the key
words!!!! If you don’t have enough time, do it with questions only.
While reading, think about different ways of phrasing the same
information. Think of synonyms and other ways to rephrase the
key information. Then try to predict what the recording is going
to be about based on what you’ve read. Remember, however, that
you need to answer the questions on the basis of what is said in
the recording , and not on your general knowledge.
During the second listening check the distractors. Why?/Why not?
