Example:

"You’re going to hear part of a lecture about the media. You will hear it twice. The first time, just listen. Then I’ll ask you to summarize the talk in one or two sentences.Are you ready?’’

The examiner will play the recording. After the recording has played once, the examiner will ask: "Can you tell me in one or two sentences what the speaker was talking about?"

When the candidate has answered the question, the examiner will hand them some notepaper and say:

"Now listen to the talk again. This time make some notes on your worksheet as you listen, if you want to. Then I’ll ask you to tell me the speaker’s attitude to media panics in general, and in particular concerns about the effects of technology on language use.!

While the recording is playing the candidate takes notes. After the recording has played for a second time, the examiner will say:

"Now tell me the speaker’s attitude to media panics in general, and in particular concerns about the effects of technology on language use. You have one minute to talk."

‘You’re going to hear part of a radio program about books. You will hear it twice. The first time, just listen. Then I’ll ask you to summarize the talk in one or two sentences. Are you ready?’’

After the first time, you will say in one or two sentences what the listening was about. The second time, you will take notes, considering the different ways the speaker evaluates the need for routine in our lives and whether you think he comes to a conclusion. After the second listening, the examiner will say, "Now tell me the different ways the speaker evaluates the need for routine in our lives and whether you think he comes to a conclusion. You have one minute to talk."
