QUESTIONS
STRATEGIES FOR THE LISTENING PART A QUESTIONS

 As you listen to each short conversation, focus on the second

line of the conversation.
 Keep in mind that the correct answer is probably a
restatement of a key word or idea in the second line of the
conversation.
 Keep in mind that certain structures and expressions are
tested regularly in Listening part A.
 Keep in mind that these questions generally progress from
easy to difficult.
 Read the answers and choose the best answer to each
question. Remember to answer each question even if you are
not sure of the correct response.
 Even if you do not understand the complete conversation,
you can find the correct answer.
 Never choose an answer because it sounds like what you
heard in the conversation.
