OK.
So let's go through another test one section one.
This is from aisle to book number eight and it's testimony one from Miles book number eight.
Now one thing you'll notice in this one one thing you'll notice in this one is is how we have multiple
choice right.
It's very rare.
It does.
It doesn't happen that often.
It doesn't happen that often where you have multiple choice questions in section one.
But when you do have multiple choice questions in section one they use are very straightforward but
you still have to keep an eye out for when dealing with multiple choice questions that when they speak
they may use synonym language for the correct answer choice.
So you have to be aware of that as being a possibility.
So we have one in two as being multiple choice and then three four five fill the blank really straightforward
address for number three postcode for number four phone number for number five.
So you've got to be good at writing your numbers and then we get to a table and four tables as I told
you before it's going to go in order.
They're going to talk about June 5th right first don't How about June 5th.
Then they're going to talk about the instrumental group get training getting us price to the number
of tickets the other go move down the June 17th.
They might not say June 70 they might say the next date.
Right.
So be aware of that.
They're not going to say you talk about the singer and the price include something in the garden.
Right.
So for number six you're listening for language is connected to something in the garden something in
the garden.
And then we have
the price per ticket the number of tickets that have come down the June 22nd.
Then we're gonna say something about an event with Anna Ventura.
So this woman Anna Venturi is part of the event so elusive or something she or she is the event.
Right.
But they're going to say something about her.
All right.
And then we have the price the number of tickets that we have to deal with.
And so.
OK.
Sorry about that we had a mix up with or something with our Mike for a second there.
So sorry about that.
OK.
And then we're gonna go down to June twenty third and we'll jump over to Spanish dance guitar and then
we're going to get into the price per ticket there.
That's going to be a number as an answer number nine.
You know it's going to be a number.
We're dealing with a lot of numbers in this one.
Remember as I told you when you're dealing with a lot of numbers you have to be aware that they are
going to very often they will give you more than one number to trick you.
So you're going to hear a lot of that here.
Now for this one what we're gonna do is we're going to go ahead and go directly all the way for Number
One to Number 10.
So it's going to give you a good idea to see how you're doing with with Section 1 of the test.
We gonna go all the way from Number One to Number 10.
So if you want to go through with us you can.
Otherwise you can stop the tape and work on it yourself in your own book and then you can listen to
our analysis of it as we go through it one by one.
OK.
All right.
So let's go ahead and let's go ahead and get started
Cambridge isles eight by University of Cambridge East examinations published by Cambridge University
Press.
This recording is copyright CDE 1
test 1 you will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what
you hear there will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance
to check your work all the recordings will be played once only the test is in four sections at the end
of the test you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet now turn to Section
1
Section 1 you will hear a conversation between two friends called George and Nina about his summer music
festival.
First you have some time to look at questions 1 and 2
All right so you see they're going to go through what they're going to do.
1 and 2 first here they're doing 1 and 2 first and then they're gonna give you another pause and then
do 3 through 10.
So it's not always divided up evenly like first look at 1 through 5 and 6 through 10 here they're gonna
do 1 and 2 and I know on one practice says I heard they they didn't even do was those was amazing but
I think they didn't get to give a break in Section 1 I'm not sure but let's keep going you will see
that there is an example that has been done for you on this occasion only the conversation relating
to this will be played first
Hi George.
Glad you're back.
Loads of people have phoned you.
Really.
I felt just like your secretary.
Sorry.
I went into the library this afternoon to have a look at the newspaper and I came across something really
interesting.
What a book.
No a brochure from a summer festival mainly Spanish music.
Look I've got it here
George says.
He found a brochure from a festival so B has been circled as the answer.
Now we shall begin.
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 and 2
Hi George.
Glad you're back.
Loads of people have phoned you.
Really.
I felt just like your secretary.
Sorry.
I went into the library this afternoon to have a look at the newspaper and I came across something really
interesting.
What a book.
No a brochure from a summer festival mainly Spanish music.
Look I've got it here.
Spanish music I really love that guitar.
Let's have a look.
So what's this group.
Guitar weenie.
They're really good.
They had a video with all the highlights of the festival at a stand in the lobby to the library.
So I heard them.
They play fantastic instruments drums and flutes and all kinds of guitars.
I've never heard anything like it before.
Sounds great.
Okay shall we go then spoil ourselves.
Yes let's.
The only problem is there aren't any cheap seats.
It's all one price.
Well in that case we could sit right at the front.
We'd have a really good view.
Yeah.
Though I think that if you sit at the back you can actually hear the whole thing better s.
Anyway we can decide when we get there side.
All right.
So let's look at these first two with the multiple choice questions.
All right.
The correct answer for number one is B.
And the correct answer for number two is B right now.
Like I've told you with multiple choice questions you heard when you heard number when you were when
they were talking about number one you heard them say something about festival you heard something about
music but the key thing is you have to focus on what's the key word language in the question right in
the question.
It says in the lobby in the lobby of the library George saw saw George saw.
What did George see.
Right.
So you're listening for which answer choice is connected to what he saw.
What did he see.
But you heard some information about music you heard some information about the festival.
OK.
Show it.
Number two correct answer is B ever number two they used synonym language.
Right.
He said the more we're listening should the woman say it.
You know what about sitting up front but we don't care what she said because our question is why does
George want to sit in the back.
Why does George want to sit in the back.
And he said he wants to hear better.
All right.
Better is a synonym for the word saying here better is synonym for saying here clearly.
OK.
So again we're using synonym language there where we're using language that has similar meaning here.
All right.
So that's why our number two is B.
So I'll let you listen to it very quickly so you can get an idea what we're talking about
Hi George.
Glad you're back.
Loads of people have phoned you.
Really.
I felt just like your secretary.
Sorry.
I went into the library this afternoon to have a look at a newspaper and I came across something really
interesting.
What a book.
No a brochure from a summer festival mainly Spanish music.
Look I've got it here.
Spanish music I really love that guitar.
Let's have a look.
So what's this group.
Guitar weenie.
They're really good.
They had a video with all the highlights of the festival at a stand in the lobby to the library.
So I heard them.
They play fantastic instruments drums and flutes and all kinds of guitars.
I've never heard anything like it before.
Sounds great.
Okay shall we go.
That's great.
I'm sorry I gave you the wrong answer for number one.
No one answer is C not c c c c that B why I wrote down Bill my paper can't dance for no one to see everybody
si si si.
All right.
That's what you put down.
He went in the lobby and he saw a video about the festival.
So we got it for ourselves.
Yes.
There aren't any cheap seats.
It's all one price.
Well in that case we could say oh let's go back to number one.
I want to point something out to you for number one.
There's something I want to point out to you
Hi George.
Glad you're back.
Loads of people have phoned you.
Really.
I felt just like your secretary.
Sorry.
I went into the library this afternoon to have a look at the newspaper and I came across something really
interesting.
What a book.
No a brochure from a summer festival mainly Spanish music.
Look I've got it here.
Spanish music I really love the guitar.
Let's have a look.
So what's this group.
Guitar weenie.
They're really good.
They had a video with all the highlights of the festival at a stand in the lobby to the library.
So I heard them.
They play fantastic instruments drums and flutes and all kinds of guitars.
I've never heard anything like it before.
Right.
So there we heard the word group which is in its voice.
A We heard the word group but you didn't he didn't mention any thing that he said he saw a group.
Right.
But that's this what they do.
They throw out language that you hear and different answer choices but they don't connect it to the
key word language of the question.
The highlight of the festival let us stand in the lobby of the library.
So they play fantastic instruments drums.
Right.
Again we heard something about instruments but he didn't say that's what he saw.
You said he saw a video about the festival.
Right.
So this is what they do a multiple choice questions they play around with it
spoil ourselves.
Yes let's.
The only problem is there aren't any cheap seats.
It's all one price.
Well in that case we could sit right at the front.
We'd have a really good view.
Yeah.
Though I think that if you sit at the back you can actually hear the whole thing better yes.
Anyway we can decide when we get there.
And so they're giving you this time to look through the questions.
We are done that we know number three is going to be an address a number or street name.
Number four is will be a postcode a number you have to write down.
Number five will be a telephone whenever you deal with numbers you are aware about them saying double
this double that double five double six.
Now listen and answer questions three to 10
so will you fill in the form or shall I.
I'll do it.
Name George O'Neil address 48 North Avenue WC.
Do you remember our new postcode.
Still can't remember it.
Just a minute.
I've got it written down here.
W S six to Y H.
Do you need the phone too please.
I'm really bad at numbers 0 1 6 7 4 double 5 3 2 4 2.
So let's book two tickets for guitar any.
Okay.
If you're sure 750 each is all right.
How do you feel about the singer.
Mm hmm.
I haven't quite decided but I've noticed something on the booking form that might just persuade me.
What's that then.
Free refreshments really.
Yes look here Sunday 17th of June singer.
Ticket six pounds includes drinks in the garden.
Sounds like a bargain to me.
Yes.
Let's book two tickets for that.
So what else.
I'm feeling quite keen now.
How about the pianist on the 22nd of June and Ventura.
I've just remembered that's my evening class night.
That's OK.
I'll just have to go on my own.
But we can't go to the Spanish dancing guitar concert together can't we.
Yes I'm sure Tom and Kieran would enjoy that too.
Good heavens.
Ten pounds fifty a ticket I can see we're going to have to go without food for the rest of the week.
We need to book for which we were students.
Look children students and senior citizens get a 50 percent discount on everything.
If only
that is the end of Section 1 You now have half a minute to check your answers.
All right so let's go ahead and go through the answer choices.
All right.
Number one.
Number three was forty eight North Avenue number four was W S. six to y h number five was 0 1 6 7 4
5 5 3 Number 6 was drinks or you could put refreshments they literally said you could have drinks in
the garden and number 7 was probably the most difficult one because they said what about and Van 2A
and that she said it was a P.A. right so the answer you would put down for number 7 is pianist.
You can see it spelled right here P A and I S T pianist number six was drinks or refreshments number
seven was a phone number four was opposed call three was at address number eight was ten pounds fifty
number nine was four and number ten was fifty percent OK.
And so when we are going through this one here this one was a little bit different because they gave
us a mixture here they gave us a little bit of multiple choice then they gave us some normal fill the
blank then they gave us a table to go through but always we'll get the budget to be aware of is that
even in Section 1 they're going to be some questions that maybe it's too difficult for you because they
may be our desire for somebody that can get a nine or eight and listening life for example spelling
the word pianist a lot of students will miss that because what they did is they said and they said the
name entered into it first then they gave the answer the pianist right.
So again sometimes they will switch the order to try to mess with you in terms of being able to tail
when the answer is being said OK all right but good luck on Section 1 everyone and now let's move on
to go doing some section two examples.
