You will hear a three-minute interview or exchange between two speakers. Candidates answer multiple-choice questions with 3 options: A, B or C.
Pick out general meaning or specific information from the text.
Before the recording starts you have time to quickly read through all the questions. Use this time to read through the question, but ignore the a,b,c options.
Underline the key words in the question. Ignore the a,b,c options still. Then you know the information to listen for.
To avoid ‘distractors‘, a good idea is to cover the a,b,c options until you have listened to the passage. Then, after listening and still not looking at the options, decide what you think might be the answer to the question. Finally, look at the a,b,c options and see if one option is similar to what you thought.
Make sure you answer the question. It may be that all the answers are correct, but only one answer actually matches the meaning of the question.
