DOs and DON’Ts
DO
 |
Listen to, and read, the instructions to understand what you have to do. |
|
Think about the topic, the speaker(s) and the context as you read the questions. |
|
Use any pauses to read the questions and try to predict the answer. |
|
Remember that the information/questions on the page follow(s) the order of information in the recording in Parts 2 and 3. |
|
Try to use the actual words you hear on the tape in Part 3. |
|
Use the pause between the first and second listening to check your answers. |
|
Check that your answer makes sense in the gap in Part 3. Check the wording both before and after the gap when checking your answer. |
|
Check that your answer is correctly spelled in Part 3. |
|
Copy only the missing words onto the answer sheet in Part 3. |
|
Read through both tasks in Part 4 in the pause before you hear the recording for the first time. |
|
Remember that there are two questions for each speaker in Part 4. |
|
Copy your answers carefully onto the answer sheet and check that you have followed the numbering correctly. |
DON'T
 |
Don't try to write very long answers in Part 3. |
|
Don't repeat information which is already in the sentences in Part 3. |
|
Don't panic in Part 3. There is plenty of time to write your answers as you listen. |
|
Don't worry if you miss a question. Continue with the next question then listen again for the missing information when you hear the recording for the second time. |
|
Don't leave a blank space on the answer sheet. If you're not sure, guess. |
