There are several question types in the Listening Test. You MUST read the instructions carefully. If the instructions say NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER, and you write three words, you will lose the mark for that question. So always take care and understand the questions.

There are 40 questions in the real test and there are several different kinds of questions. In this short listening exercise you need to COMPLETE the SENTENCES.

THINGS TO NOTE:

1. Sometimes the questions will use almost the same words as the listening text, but other times the questions will use synonyms. So you need to listen for key ideas, not just key words.
2. Your answer must be the exact word you hear – NOT a synonym.
3. Each question is worth one mark.
4. Your spelling must be correct. If it is incorrect, you will lose the mark.
5. The questions will be in the same order as the listening text. So first you will hear the answer to question one. The answer for question two will come after that. The answer for question three will come next and so on.
6. Two words and/or a number means exactly that. So a possible answer could be ’20 white computers.’
