Each of the four sections of the paper has ten questions. The answers to the first question will come before the answers
to the second, and so on, because the questions are presented in the same order as the information in the recording.
The topics of Parts 1 and 2 are common social situations. In Part 1, there is a dialogue between two speakers (for
instance, discussing trip plans). In Part 2, there is only one speaker (a lecture about local facilities, for example).
Training and instructional scenarios are covered in Parts 3 and 4. Part 3 is a dialogue between the two primary
speakers, who could be two college students having a tutor-guided discussion. Part 4 features a single speaker
discussing an academic subject.
