The following chart outlines the most important strategy for short dialogues.

THE BEST STRATEGY: CHOOSE ANSWERS WITH RESTATEMENTS

1. As you listen to the last line of the dialogue, you should focus on the key idea(s) in that line.
2. If you see a restatement of the key idea(s) in a particular answer, then you have probably
found the correct answer.

3. Do not choose answers with words that sound similar to the words on the recording.

EXERCISE 1: In this exercise, underline the key idea(s) in the last line of each
short dialogue. Then underline restatements of these key words in the answers, and
choose the best answer to each question. Remember that the best answer is
probably the answer that contains a restatement of the key ideas(s) in the last line
of the dialogue.
