Hello, guys, and welcome to my Cambridge English advanced listening paper video course. In this lesson, we're going to be focusing on part three. 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 that 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 offices, 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 question types in the exam, the nid. In this lesson, we're going to be focusing on part three, multiple choice. The rest of the lesson, you're going to learn the best tips technique, strategy, and have some real practice examples for part three of the listening paper.

So how many questions are there in part three? There are six questions. How many listing extracts? Do you need to listen to? Just one how many options can you choose from? You have four options to choose from, because it's a multiple choice.

And how long do you have to read through the passage before the listening begins? You have 70 seconds to read through the passage before listening. This is what it looks like. Here you have the six questions and the four options. And this I've taken from the Cambridge English advanced 2015 sample paper one listing PDF, page five. I showed you how to access this in previous lessons.

But if you forgotten, what you need to do is go to this website. So open this web address in your internet browser. And if you've done that, you'll see a website, which looks like this. If you scroll down the page, you can find a table here and in the table, it says listening. What you need to do is click on sample paper audio files. This will download a folder to your computer which you can open you might need to unzip the folder, the pen if you open it, you will see several files that look like this.

Some of them are PDF documents, and some of them are mp3 or THX. What I'd like you to do is to open it Sample paper one listing PDF, which is this file here. And once you've opened that, it should look like this. We're going to scroll down to page number five, I should say part three. And it should start with question 50. Okay, so this quote has come from another document, which is also really useful.

And it's called the Cambridge English advanced handbook for teachers. The advice that they give in this document is that this part of the listening paper test the candidates ability to listen To longer interviews and discussions and primarily show understanding of the speaker's attitudes and opinions. So, the questions will test your understanding of the speaker's attitudes and opinions, agreement just feeling purpose function and detail may also be tested. So, some of the questions may also test you on these things. So, this is my first tip, you should use the 70 seconds before the listening starts to read and underline the most important words in the sentences. My second tip is that, then, from the first question you should think What makes a different from B, C, and D?

How is he different? B, C, and D. So let's practice this if you open or go to that document again, which looks like this, which you've downloaded from the folder. And what I'd like you to do is to have a think if you have a printer, that's fantastic, you can print off the sheet. But if you don't, I just like you to think to yourself, which words would you underline? Okay, so pause this video now, and either underline or think to yourself, which words would you underline from these questions? Then we'll have a look which words I would underline When you're ready, you can press play.

Okay, so let's have a look at the words which I underlined. Remember there is no right and wrong answer to this. This is subjective. So what you've underlined if it's different to me, it's not necessarily a bad thing. But what I underlined is what helps me to focus on what I'm listening. So, question 15 I underlined story which made her name.

Question 16 underlined, suggests about the editor and her first national daily question 17 and newspaper sorry, in question 17 underlined her own daily column and she felt So I know it's talking about her feelings. Her lady calm and he got a job thanks to sent me. How do we get a job? And the 19 agrees that courses in journalism So, so what do they agree on about the courses and the number 20 said about their novels they reveal okay. So again, if you've underlined different things doesn't matter. It's just to help you fully accept before the listening starts to focus while you're listening.

That tip number three, as we learnt from the handbook for teachers earlier attitudes and opinions in this part of the testing paper are important. So before the exam, I recommend that you get a good course book. And if you type this thing into your web browser, you'll find a course book, a really good course book that looks like this. With this course book, you should revise adjectives and adverbs, which specifically are describing attitudes and feelings. For example, disappointed, frustrated, unexpected, etc. Good course book, for example, this one will give you the essential vocabulary that you need to pass the exam.

And for this part of the exam specifically, I really recommend you read about these adjectives and adverbs which describe attitudes and feelings. In fact, in the course book that I recommend, there is a word List towards the back for every unit and the word list has some really important vocabulary in it. So I recommend reading through the word list. So, you should also revise words which are used to report opinions. For example, insists, suggest, denies, etc. And you should revise words which show degrees of certainty.

For example, is someone doubtful? Are they convinced about something? how certain are they? Let's find words which show you how how certain somebody is or how uncertain somebody is. Okay? But Tip number four is to mark the option you think Correct.

After the first time you listen, put a little mark next to the option you think is correct after the first time and then the second time you listen, you can confirm itself. Okay, so let's practice this. What I'd like you to do is to look at this question here, which you can also look at from the document that we download. Look at question 15. These are the words which I underlined, which are the most important bits that I'm listening for. So what made her name and if we look at options, ABC and D, you can see that they are quite different from one another.

Now what I'd like you to do is to open the list Part Three audio track one time and write down what you think is the answer. So don't know you can write down a, b, c or d. But also we'd like you to write down the words that tell you what the answer is. So you could open the audio track from this folder here by opening this mp3 file here. And I'd like you to write down the words that you think give you the answer to this question. Okay, so you can pause this video now. Write down the words that you think give you the answer to the question.

And when you're ready, press play. Okay, hopefully you've done that. So let's have a look what I wrote down wrote down editorial team, different notes. If I look at options A, B, C, and D, I can see that what I've written here, editorial team different notes, it's most similar to option C. She wasn't actually responsible for the finished article. So what I'd like you to do now is pause this video again, and listen to the audio track for a second time and confirm your art. So pause this video now and when you're ready, press play.

Okay, hopefully you've done that. So, when I listen to the second time, I confirmed that the editorial team had used her notes to make the front cover Okay, so see is the correct answer, because she wasn't actually responsible for the finished article, because the editorial team took her notes and use these to make the front cover. So time for some homework. What you should do is you should take the tips, technique and strategy from this lesson and follow those to complete the sample paper one, part three. So use all the techniques and tips that I've shown you to complete sample paper one, part three. You can download the paper and order files from this web page here by clicking audio files just to show you again if you type this website, its web address into your browser.

Page like this will open. And if you scroll down the page, you find some table and in the table it says listening. If you click on sample paper audio files, a folder will download to your computer. In the folder you will see several PDF files and mp3 audio tracks, which you need to use to complete your homework. We are competing sample paper, part three. I also recommend that you read pages 54 to 74 of the Cambridge English advanced teachers handbook which you can access from this web address.

If you haven't already done this, that's really useful for this part of the listening paper. And this teacher's handbook in general has loads of really useful information about the whole of the exam.
