Skill #1: FOCUS ON THE LAST LINE.
The short dialogues involve conversations between two people, each followed by a question. It is important to understand that the answer to this type of question is most often (but not always!) found in the last line of the conversation.

The last line of this dialogue indicates that Billy forgot to turn in his research paper, and this means that he didn’t remember to submit it. The best answer is therefore answer (D).

Skill #4: DRAW CONCLUSIONS ABOUT WHO, WHAT, WHERE It is common in Listening Part A to ask you to draw some kind to conclusion. In this type of question the answer is not clearly stated; instead you must draw a conclusion based on clues given in the conversation. One kind of conclusion that is common in this part of the test is to ask you to determine: Who the speaker is, based on the clues given in the conversation. Example: on the recording, you hear: (woman)    Can you tell me what assignments I missed when I was absent from your class? (man)        You missed one homework assignment and a quiz. (Narrator) Who is the man? In your test book, you read: (A) A newspaper editor (B) A police officer (C) A teacher (D) A student https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4hNyUyfhvU

SKILL 12: LISTEN FOR EXPRESSIONS OF UNCERTAINTY AND SUGGESTIONS In this skill we will identify is the person is mention an uncertainty expression or if the person is making a suggestion that will depend of the way the person mention it in the conversation. Example: (man) Do you know anything about the final exam in physic? (woman) It’s going to be rather difficult, isn’t it? (narrator) what does the woman mean? Possible answer A)   The exam is not going to be too difficult B)   She’s positive that it’s going to be hard C)   She thinks that it might be hard D)   She has no idea about the exam As we can see the person in the conversation is uncertain about the exam so for that reason the best answer to the question what does the woman mean? Is letter C “She thinks that it might be hard”. For more information watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rJeWxQtIfE&pbjreload=10

(B) He was looking for a place to live (C) He was working on his research project (D) He had an appointment at church. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04_nag0pqWY .
