Extract One

Paper 4, Part 1

Listening

In Paper 4, Part 1 you have to listen to four short extracts and answer multiple-choice questions. Each question will only have three answers to choose from, and you will hear both monologues and dialogues. You will hear each extract twice.

Before you listen to each extract, read through the questions. They will help you to focus on what to listen for each extract. This may be:

• attitude and inference
• gist and detail

Remember, for any Listening task, always read through the questions before you listen, so that you can try to anticipate what you are going to hear.

1) Listen to the recordings, and for questions 1-8, choose the answer (A, B or C) which fits best according to what you hear. If you are unsure of the answer, mark the ones you think are wrong. Then listen again to complete and check your answer.
