What Listening Skills Are Being Tested?
There are 5 different listening skills that are being tested. Knowing what these skill as và how they are used in the exam can help you practice more efficiently.
Predicting: Using your knowledge of a topic and the situation to guess what speakers are talking about.
Identifying key words: You need lớn be able khổng lồ identify the most important words in a sentence to understand its meaning. This is often done by listening for tone of voice & the intonation that a speaker uses.
Listening for specific information: Often we listen for one or more important pieces of information, such as a place name in a weather forecast or a number in a television advert. Being able lớn ignore unimportant information và focus on that specific information is an important skill.
The ability khổng lồ listen to và identify synonyms and paraphrases for what you are looking for is also important. For example, a question might ask how many days will it rain for & the speaker might use the phrase ‘wet weather’ rather than rain.
Listening intensively: This skill is used when everything the speaker says is important. This could be when instructions are being explained such as when a salesman is explaining to you how lớn use the new I-pad you have just bought.
Identifying attitudes of speakers: This means working out what the speaker is actually thinking or feeling even though they might not say something directly.
