PREPARING FOR PAPER 4

Part 3

Paper 4 has a standard structure of four parts, which helps

candidates to be clear about what they have to do in each

part. The instructions for each task are heard on the tape,

and candidates should read and listen as directed. It is worth

taking time to go right through a sample listening test, so

that students understand exactly what to expect in the

examination.

This is a multiple-matching task. Candidates listen to a

series of five short pieces with different speakers, which are

related in some way. For example, they may all be speaking

about aspects of the same subject, such as travel, or about

similar experiences or objects, such as journeys or vehicles.

Alternatively, the link may be functional, such as a series of

different speakers asking for information, or apologising.

Reading through the questions carefully before listening will

provide valuable support in helping candidates to focus on

the identifying aspects of each piece, and this should be

stressed in preparation and practice.

Candidates should use the questions on the page to help

predict what they will hear. This is not simply ‘exam

technique’. When listening, we all bring a variety of extra

areas of knowledge to everything we hear, whether it be the

context in which we hear it, our knowledge about the

speaker(s), or our knowledge about the subject itself. The

use of pre-listening tasks in classwork will be of great benefit

in raising awareness of this.

Part 4

In this part of the paper the question type may vary, but the

number is always constant at seven. The questions may

either have two alternatives (Yes/No, True/False), or three.

The latter may be in the form of three-option multiple

choice or may take the form of ‘Who said what?’, where the

conversation has two people expressing opinions, feelings

or agreement. In this task, candidates must select which

speaker expresses the opinion/feeling, etc., or whether both

agree. Alternatively, the questions might ask, for example, in

a discussion comparing three schools, ‘Which school offers

what?’, or, in a discussion about holidays, ‘Which holiday

includes what?’ As in Part 2, they follow the order of the

information in the conversation. Candidates can prepare for

this part by noting down, for example, the main points of a

conversation, or predicting the content of the text from the

task.

Candidates need to have the opportunity to hear as much

spoken English as possible, with as much variety as possible.

Leisure interests, such as music and video, should be

exploited to encourage students to listen to English outside

the classroom, as well as frequent and varied practice within

it.

Part 1

The eight questions in this part of the paper are presented

both on the question paper and on the tape, so that

candidates are led carefully through them. The testing focus

is spelt out in each question, for example:

• What is her job?

• What is he doing?

• What are they talking about?

• What emotion/attitude/feeling/opinion is being

expressed?

Candidates can prepare for this part by listening to short

extracts of speech and concentrating on understanding the

general idea or main points of what they hear.

Part 2

The ten questions in this part of the paper may take several

forms, including notes with gaps in them, incomplete

sentences, or table completion. Candidates do not need to

write a full sentence as an answer: they should use the size

of the answer boxes to guide them. Three words is normally

the maximum necessary. Minor spelling errors are not

penalised, but the candidate’s intention must be clear.

Candidates will not be asked to spell words which are

above the FCE level. However, where a word has been spelt

out letter by letter, for example, a proper name, and where

this would actually be a test of the candidate’s ability to

follow the spelling, the spelling must be correct. Preparation

for this part should include practice in selecting information

and note taking while listening.
