Listening Part 4 Multiple matching

W h a t t o e x p e c t i n t h e e x a m
• You will hear five monologues on a similar theme, and you will hear each speaker
twice.
• There are two matching tasks to do at the same time. For each task, you have to
choose the correct answer from eight options (A–H). Three of the options in each
column are not used. Each task has a different focus; for example, one might be about
identifying main ideas and the other about interpreting the speakers’ attitudes.
• The answers do not appear in a fixed order – you may hear the answer to Task Two
before the answer to Task One, so you need to watch out for this as you listen.

H o w t o g o a b o u t i t
Before reading the options, pay careful attention to the instructions, especially the
ones above each column. Knowing the focus of each task helps you predict what you
will hear.
There’s more than one effective way to approach this task:
https://english0905.com/private/
• answer the questions in both tasks at the same time
• listen for the answers to Task One the first time and Task Two the second time
• focus on the most challenging questions the first time and the easier ones the
second time
Experiment in class and decide which approach works best for you.

experiences with technology at work. While you listen you must complete both tasks.
