Listening: Responses, Conversations, Announcements & Talks

• Listen and Choose a Response: decide what kind of sentence you hear — a question, a request, a complaint, an offer? The right answer fits the function, not just the words. Wrong options often repeat a word you heard.
• Conversations: listen for the speakers' problem, their feelings (tone), and what they decide to do next.
• Announcements: note what is changing, who is affected and what listeners must do.
• Academic talks: the main idea is usually stated near the start; signposts like first, however, for example, so show the structure.

Press Play and answer while you listen. The audio uses your browser's English voice (Chrome and Edge give the best result). Turn on exam mode to hear each recording only once, as in the real test.
