Official Task Instruction

“Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.”

Key Strategies

• ➤Read the question and all options before the audio starts. This tells you exactly what to listen for.
• ➤The correct answer reflects the main point of the recording — not a peripheral detail.
• ➤Eliminate distractors that use words from the audio but twist the meaning — a common trick.
• ➤Spend no more than 90 seconds per question. If unsure, pick the most moderate, well-supported option.
• ➤No negative marking — never leave this blank.

Scoring: 1 point for correct answer. No negative marking — always select an answer.
