Multiple matching

The four dialogues are set in different locations, but are linked by a theme. For example, in the dialogues below, everyone is talking about buying things. Look at the different locations before you listen and try to think of vocabulary connected with that location. For example, words connected with a hotel include guest, room, reception, check in and luggage. Be careful, however: check in and luggage are also words connected with airports! In other words, beware of the extra option, which is there to trick you.

Preparing for the task

1 a) Match locations 1-5 with the word groups a-f.

1 in a train station

2 in a shopping centre

3 in a supermarket

4 in a cafeteria

5 in a flat

a till, menu, service, kitchen, sandwich

b kitchen, floor, rent, space, view

c shops, suitcase, flight, boarding pass, pilot

d food court, shops, floors, sale, clothes

e platform, ticket, carriage, waiting room, journey

f check-out, fruit, aisle, toiletries, credit card

b) What location do the words in the extra word group match with?

2 You'll hear 4 short dialogues À, Â, C and D twice. Match the dialogues with the locations (1-5) where they take place. You can only use each location once. There is one extra location.

1 in an airport

2 in a shopping centre

4 in a cafeteria

Multiple matching

There are five monologues in this part of the exam, with six statements to match them with. Remember that the statements express the main idea of what the speakers say. Read the statements before you listen and underline the key words. Try to think of words that mean the same as the words you underlined - the exact words will not be in the recording - or words connected to them (’board’ and ’classroom’, for example). Try to think of why the speaker is talking - are they trying to describe something, explain something, or do something else? Be careful because the monologues are all related by subject matter.

Preparing for the task

3 Read sentences 1-3 and look at the underlined words. Read sentences A-C and match them with sentences 1-3. Which words helped you to decide?

1 The speaker talks about his/her favourite sport.

2 The speaker describes his/her local gym.

3 The speaker explains why he/she often wins competitions.

A I may not be the best, but I never say it's over until it's over.

 It's fairly small and dark, with some old machines by the walls.

C It's beautiful, it's fast, it's a little dangerous - that's why I love it.

4 You'll hear 5 speakers A. B, C. D and E twice. Match each speaker with a statement below (1-6). You can only use each statement once. There is one extra statement.

1 The speaker talks about a popular new fitness craze.

2 The speaker explains why he/she chose to do a sport.

3 The speaker talks about his/her plans for opening up a business.

4 The speaker explains why he/she enjoys watching a sport.

Multiple choice

Read the questions and the answer choices. Underline the key words in each. As you do this, also think about what the conversation is probably about, because what you read in the questions will give you clues. Remember that the incorrect options will be mentioned in the conversation in some way, so don’t be tricked.

Preparing for the task
