In the Listening section, you will hear conversations as well as academic discussions
and classroom lectures. The conversations are introduced by the narrator. The academic
discussions and classroom lectures are preceded by a screen that gives the academic
subject of the talk. A narrator will tell you if the following passage is a discussion or
lecture and what the course is. Pay attention to these introductions because they can
help you understand what the speakers are talking about.
As you listen to the passages;you will see photographs of professors and students, and
sometimes you will see illustrations or charts that help the speakers make their point.
The photographs of the people are not important for answering the questions, but you
should pay attention to the illustrations or charts because they can help you understand
what the speakers are saying. Note that the illustrations are not visible throughout the
lecture. They appear on the screen only when the speakers are referring to them.

a time. You may not go back to check your work or change your answers in the
