About Listening
...
You will listen to four recordings of native English speakers and then write your answers to a series of questions.
Section 1. is a conversation between two people set in an everyday context (e.g. a conversation in an accommodation agency).
Section 2. is a monologue set in an everyday social context (e.g. a speech about local families).
Section 3. is a conversation between up to four people set in an educational or training context (e.g. a university tutor and student discussing an assignment).
Section 4. is a monologue on an academic subject (e.g. a university lecture).
Assessors will be looking for evidence of your ability to understand the main ideas and detailed factual information, the opinions and attitudes of speakers, the purpose of an utterance and evidence of your ability to follow the development of ideas.
