Think about it A2 Key Listening Part 4

Read the paragraph about A2 Key Listening Part 4 and answer the questions.

In Part 4 of the A2 Key Listening test, you have to answer five questions. You will hear five short conversations
(with 2 speakers) or monologues (just 1 speaker). The question describes what the situation is, for example it
could be two friends or family members, or the speakers could be strangers, for example a shop assistant and a
customer. You are listening for the main idea or the topic, and you need to choose from A, B or C answers. Most
of the words and grammatical structures will be from the A2 Key wordlist or the list of Grammatical Areas in the
A2 Key Handbook. A speaker may use a few words and/or grammatical structures that are higher than A2 Key
level. However, it should be possible to get the correct answer even if you don’t understand every word. You
should write on the question paper while you are listening.
