Strategy: 💡

📌 Listen to the beginning of the conversation to understand the relationship between the speakers and the situation of the conversation, and pay special attention to the last statement. The choices are not printed in the question booklet, but are read out loud. Think about how you would respond to the questions and the other person's responses as if you were actually having the conversation. It is also effective to use past papers to practice predicting your own responses before the options are read out loud.

As in the first part, you should grasp the relationship between the two speakers and the situation of the conversation from the beginning of the conversation. Conversations often proceed in the order of "question➡response". In many cases, the conversation will proceed in a "question➡response" way, so it is best to listen while grasping the question and the response. For example, you may need to ask for directions, talk in a store, make a reservation at a restaurant, or talk on the phone. Each situation has its own set of common expressions. It is important to study typical examples of each type of conversation.
