The skills tests include KET-type exercises which reflect
the format of the KET exam. These tests may be photocopied freely for classroom use.
They may not be adapted, printed, or sold without the
Listening tests permission of Oxford University Press.
All the Listening tests re-use listenings from the Student’s
Book. Some students may remember the contexts of the
listenings, but they are very unlikely to remember the detail,
and the listening exercises are KET-type tasks which are
different from the tasks that students have already done.

The Listening numbers 1.19 are indicated in the Answer key.
