Independent listening
The examiner will introduce the talk and then the recording will play once.
After the first time you tell the examiner in one or two sentences what the talk is about.
The examiner will then ask you a question about the talk and give you some paper.
You listen again and take some notes if you want to. These notes will not be marked as part
of your exam.
The examiner will ask you the question again. You respond to the examiner’s question. For example,
listen for and report opinions, ideas, and advantages and disadvantages of a situation or proposal.
You will have one minute to speak. You can use your notes to help you.
It is a good idea to make notes when you listen to the text. Here are some ideas to help you take notes:
— write the subject of the talk on the paper when the examiner introduces it
— don’t try to write every word, just write keys words
— don’t worry about spelling or grammar
— use symbols or pictures.
You don’t have to make notes, and your notes are not marked but it is a good idea to try to make some as you listen to help you with the tasks.
