You hear three short extracts, each on a different topic: a conversation between two people or one person speaking. Each extract has two questions with three options (A, B or C).
The two questions rarely test the same thing. One might ask about a detail or the purpose of what's said, the other about how someone feels or what the speakers agree on.
Read both questions before the extract starts. The first answer often comes earlier and the second later, but not always: sometimes one answer is spread across the whole extract.
When a question asks what the speakers agree about, the option must be true for both of them. Check that one says it and the other accepts it, even with a quiet 'Fair enough' or 'I suppose so'.
At this level, speakers often imply their feelings instead of stating them. Irony, a hesitation or a flat 'Well, it was interesting' can tell you more than the words themselves. Listen to how things are said.
Every wrong option is built to look right. It may use a word you hear, describe something the speaker considered but rejected, or be true in general but not what this speaker says.
Some questions ask about function: is the speaker complaining, justifying a decision, warning, persuading? Think about why they're speaking, not only about the content.
Each extract has new people and a new topic. Use the pause to read the next context line and questions, and leave the last extract behind.
