LISTENING PRACTICE



SOME QUICK TIPS:

* In the Listening part of the exam you will commonly hear British and American accents, but remember that you might also hear Australian, Irish, Scottish, etc, as well.  When practicing your listening skills, try to listen to a variety of accents to give you a good chance of understanding the majority of speakers.
* The speakers in the exam will range from teenagers to the elderly, so listen to a wide selection of people speaking.
* Practice listening and writing at the same time, because it will enable you to utilise your time much better in the exam.
* If you get some questions wrong, then find out why you got them wrong.  Look at the transcripts, then listen again, until you understand the answer.

And finally, do as many listening activities as possible similar to those that will be in the exam in order to build your confidence and listening skills.  Starting with this one below:
