Part 4 - Questions 20-25
Part 4 usually consists of someone giving factual or descriptive Information about themselves or an event or telling a story, often about something that has happened to them.
There is only one main speaker, although sometimes there is a short Introduction by another speaker or an Interviewer asks questions.
The instructions are the same on the recording and the exam paper.
There is quite a lot to read in part 4 so students have 45 seconds to read the questions before they listen.
The questions come in the same order as the information on the recording.
Students should mark the answers on the exam paper and copy them to the answer sheet later
