Includes:
Listen and Complete (3-4): Listen to the scenario and answer the Qs
Minor spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors do not matter as long as the errors that you make do not change the meaning.
You can paraphrase your answer. Some questions might even require you to paraphrase.
Write just enough to answer the question. You should not add any extra irrelevant information that is not necessary to answer the question.
Listen and Respond (6): Participate in a conversation about this scenario. You will listen to several questions and select the best response each time it’s your turn.
Listen carefully! You can only play the audio clips once.
You can read the earlier parts of the conversation again to help you.
Pay attention to the relationship between the speakers. How would two students talk to each other? How would a teacher and a student have a conversation?
Don’t worry if you don’t choose the best response—the test will let you know so that you can still get the next ones correct. Pay attention to the correct answer in order to follow the conversation.
Try to remember the main ideas of the conversation for the summary task that follows.
Summarise the conversation (1): Write a summary of the conversation you just had.
Time: 01:15
Don’t worry if you didn’t choose the best answers in the previous section. Focus on summarizing the conversation.
Write a complete paragraph instead of separate bullet points.
You don’t have very much time to write, so start with the facts about the conversation. Who was speaking? What was the conversation about? What was the outcome?
Use all the time to summarize the task in as much detail as possible. If you have time, check the spelling and grammar of your response.
