Make the most of your Listening test:

• if you cannot hear the audio clearly, let a member of staff know straightaway

• follow the instructions carefully; they may be different to practice or previous tests

• listen for the specific information you want

• try and anticipate what the speaker will say; this will require concentration

• do not worry if there is a word you do not understand; you may not need

to use it

• if you do not know the answer to a question, attempt it but do not waste

time; move quickly onto the next one

• be careful with your spelling and grammar

• do not panic if you think the topic is too difficult or the speaker is too fast;

relax and tune in

• read, write and listen at the same time

• focus precisely on what you are asked to do in completion type questions

• pay attention to the word limit; for example, if you are asked to complete

a sentence using no more than two words, if the correct answer is ‘leather

coat’, the answer ‘coat made of leather’ would be incorrect

• if the question asks you to complete the note ‘in the…’ and the correct

answer is ‘morning’, note that ‘in the morning’ would be incorrect; the

correct answer is ‘morning’

• attempt all questions; there are no penalties for incorrect answers

• check your answers
Exercise 7. Tell the students that they are going to listen to the text.

Ask them to make notes while listening.

Tapescript

Firefighter: When I arrived at the fire station yesterday morning, I checked

my equipment as usual. We had our first call at ten o’clock. We w re told there

was a fire in a supermarket in the middle of town. We drove through the streets

as if st as possible. When we got there, the fire was burning strong . The heat

was terrible and some people were trapped inside. We h d to get them out

quickly. We got out our hoses and pointed them at the building. Twenty minutes

later, the fire was out and we were able to go into the building. We saved all

the people, but some had to go to hospital. At two o’clock, we were called to an

accident on the ring road. The police helped us get there very fast. One car was

on fire and another was upside-down on the road.

Fortunately, the driver of the burning car was standing by the side of the

road. However, the driver of the other car was trapped. We put the fire out

quickly and got the second driver out. He was badly injured. At the end of the

day, I was tired and upset about the accident. But it’s all in a day’s work for a

firefighter. We do our best.
