Hello, everybody, and welcome to my Cambridge English advanced listening paper video course. This lesson, we're going to be looking at the listening paper, Part Four. So, yeah, let's have a look at the listening paper. How long does the listening paper last? It lasts for 40 minutes. How many parts are there in the listening paper?

This paper has has four different parts. And how many questions are there in total? There are 30 questions in the listening paper in total. And I say that you need to write your answer on the question paper. And then at the end, you transfer your answers. So you have about five minutes I think it is to transfer your answers from the question paper to the answer sheet.

And you need to write in capital letters. So big letters When you're transferring the office and I say there is an example art sheets on page 74 of the Cambridge English advanced teachers Handbook, which you can find if you type in this web address, and go to page 74. The page numbers are at the bottom of the pages in this handbook. These are the different types of questions you will come across in the listening paper. And in this lesson, we're going to be focusing on Part Four, multiple matching. So you're going to learn best tips and techniques, as well as the best strategy and your practice some examples for this part of the listening paper.

So let's have a Looking at a bit more detail Part Four? How many questions are there in total this pot? There are two sets of five questions. So 10 questions in total? How many texts Do you need to read? How many texts you need to listen to rather, you need to listen to five texts in total.

And so you have two questions each text. How many options can you choose from? Eight for each side, so you have eight options for five questions and eight options for another five questions. How long do you have to read through the passage? You have 45 seconds to read through the sentences the questions before the listening begins. This is from the camera Which English advanced teachers handbook.

It says that this part tests the candidates ability to identify the gist of a number of short texts on a thing. For example, by identifying main points, just attitude and opinion. Okay, so here's my first tip. When you have the questions in front of you, you should underline the most important words. So we can practice this now. The example that you can see here on this slide has come from the audio files and PDF files that you can download from this website.

And if you type this address into your web browser, you'll find an internet site Looks like this. If you scroll down the page, you'll see a table. And in this table, there's a part called listening. And if you click on sample paper and audio files could download this folder. Once the folder is downloaded, if you open it, you will see several files and mp3 audio tracks that look like this. And this one here is what we're going to open now, this PDF file.

Once you open that, you'll see a document which looks like this. And if you scroll down, eventually you will come to Part Four, which looks like this. And I've copied this My presentation here. So, which words would you underline from A to H, task one and task two? Because there is five questions for task one and five questions for task two. And what you need to do is to listen to Speaker one and try to answer one question from task one.

And one question from task two. From what this one speaker says. So, you need to answer questions 21 and 26 for one speaker, Speaker one and then 22 and 27, a speaker two, etc. Both before you even listen to the tracks, have seven seconds three through and so I advise you to underline the most important words. So pause this video now underline those words. Or think about which words do you think are more important?

If you can't print it off and you can't underline, you can just think about which words are the most important. And then press play and I'll show you which words. Okay, so let's have a look at the where to shine the light. There we go. So in a underlined, unfriendly and encouraged and this is just helping me to focus on these parts of sentences. It's easier to choose from a to h if I have these focus points, because remember, I only have to choose five of the options eight H, one for each speaker.

So you could compare these with the words that you underlined with the words that you thought. But these are the words which I think are really going to help me focus on what I'm listening for. You can pause this video if you want to have a read of it further. I'm going to continue on to the next slide. So time for my next tip number two, learn the meanings of words related to emotions before the exam. So words like delighted, relieved, grateful, etc.

These are all describing different types of emotions. These are really important words to know for this part of the exam. To make sure you understand the meaning of these words. You should also write words and vocabulary related to the underlined words when you are in the exam. So after you've underlined the words before the task begins, should think of some similar words to those that you've underlined them right and down next to it, because those could be the type of words that you might hear. In the listening trick.

I advise you to do the left column first, and then the right column after you want to expand your vocabulary or to revise meanings of words related to emotions. Then you can download this book from this web address if you type this web address into your internet browser, Okay, so by writing similar words to those that you've underlined, should help you to locate the information you need, and help you to remember the main ideas for each option ah as well, which is useful. So, what I'd like you to do is to pause this video, and either in the separate PDF file or using what you can see here, I would like you to write down some similar words to those which I've underlined here. From a to haitch, just one or two similar words to those which I've underlined in eighth H. Then we'll look at the words which I think are similar as well.

So you can pause this video now. When you're ready, press play thanks So similar word unfriendly is unpleasant. That could be a word that you might hear in the recording. And if you hear speaker two talking about unpleasant colleagues and you know, or unpleasant people at work, then you know that the answer of speaking to a probably be the letter A. Not much leave is the same as poor holiday entitlement. Don't know where you're going is the same as lacking a sense of purpose.

Needing more of a challenge means it's easy or not difficult. So many jobs is another way to talk about the workload. arguments and not seeing eye to eye similar to disagreement. No glass ceiling or promotion. is an advancement and buildings, chairs, space, etc are all types of physical environment. If you had different answers, don't worry, because it's subjective.

These are just the words that I think are similar. But make sure that you do this in the exam for the listening start, because it will really help you. And you might even have the correct answer written down when the listening begins. Might have the same words as the ones you've written down, and that would be fantastic. Okay, tip number three. First time you listen, you should write every letter that you think might be correct.

Next to the speaker. Here is an example below. The speaker one question 21. I wrote down AMD because First time I listened, I thought it could be a, it could also be easy. So I wrote them both down. And I know that we get to listen twice, because in every, every part of this listening paper, you get to listen twice.

So I know that I can confirm this on my second listening. So the second time you listen, you should check and try to make a decision between a or E. or whichever options you have written. That's the question. And if you've written two letters next to one question, for example, next question 21. And you you should check if you have also written the same letters next to another question. So for example, I've written a and d next to Speaker 21.

But I have also written e next to speak at 24. So if you have a nd Question 21 and only for question 34? The answer will probably be a for 21 and B for 24. It seems obvious, but this is a really useful technique that a lot of people forget to do. Just have a look and see if you have any of the same letters next to a different question. Then you can eliminate a question 21.

That's it. So, for homework, you should use tips and technique and the strategy I've taught you during this lesson to complete the listening sample paper one, Part Four, which we've also started in this lesson. And just to remind you, you can download the paper and the audio files from this webpage here. typed this into your web browser. Scroll down the page until you find a table that looks like this, the listening section in it, click on some paper and audio files. Okay.
