STRUCTURE

• 2 exercises (45 questions).
• 30 minutes to answer the questions, then 5 minutes to write down your answers on the answer sheet.
• Each recording will only be played once.

Tip: The recordings can be quite long. You should focus on the key words (places, action verbs…). If there is a dialogue that you have not understood, do not waste too much time thinking about it, you might lose focus and miss the next one.

Exercise 1 contains  20 questions.

For each question, you will listen to a conversation between a woman and a man. Each will give a sentence. A third person will then ask a question based on the conversation. You need to give the answer to that question by choosing one of the 4 choices.

Tip: Read all 4 possible answers before listening to the recording. This will allow you to focus better on key words and useful information.
