52. Carte 52

58. Carte 58

    Use the surrounding claim and tone to recover the intended meaning, rather than reading every word literally.

60. Carte 60

    Réponse

    They often reveal the paragraph's main role, while the middle supplies explanation or evidence.

61. Carte 61

66. Carte 66

    Understanding meaning, speaker intent, and common patterns of spoken English. The best response must make sense in the exchange.

67. Carte 67

    Question

    Réponse

    The prompt's communicative purpose. Decide whether it is a question, request, suggestion, apology, invitation, or comment.

68. Carte 68

    Question

    Listen and Choose a Response — how does a question word narrow the answer?

    Réponse

    It signals the information needed. For example, when calls for a time, while why calls for a reason.

69. Carte 69

    Question

    Listen and Choose a Response — why can a response without yes or no fit a yes-or-no question?

    Réponse

    An indirect reply can still answer the real question. The lab closes at six can explain whether there is time to visit it.

70. Carte 70

    Question

    Listen and Choose a Response — what makes a reply suitable for a request?

    Réponse

    It accepts, refuses, or addresses the requested action naturally. A reply about the same topic can still miss the request.

71. Carte 71

    Question

    Réponse

    47 items in about 29 minutes. ETS notes that item count and time may vary as the section adapts.

72. Carte 72

    Question

    Listen and Choose a Response — how should you handle a negatively worded question?

    Réponse

    Work out the speaker's actual concern before choosing. Do not select an option only because it repeats the negative word.

73. Carte 73

    Question

    Listen and Choose a Response — what is the repeated-word trap?

    Réponse

    A distractor echoes vocabulary from the prompt but does not form a logical reply. Test the conversational link, not the word match.

74. Carte 74

    Question

    Listen and Choose a Response — what should you do with an unfamiliar expression?

    Réponse

    Infer its function from tone and context. You often need the speaker's intent more than a word-for-word definition.

75. Carte 75

    Question

    Listen and Choose a Response — when two options are grammatical, what decides between them?

    Réponse

    Conversational relevance. Choose the option a person would naturally say next in that situation.

76. Carte 76

    Question

    Listen and Choose a Response — what does multistage adaptive mean for the Listening section?

    Réponse

    The section adjusts to your ability as you progress. Its four task types stay the same, but the item count and timing may vary.

78. Carte 78

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — which four kinds of understanding does ETS emphasize?

    Réponse

    Main ideas, key details, speaker intent, and implied meaning. Listen for both what is said and why it is said.

79. Carte 79

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — how can you capture the main idea in one line?

    Réponse

    Write the speakers' shared purpose or central problem. A topic label alone is usually too broad.

80. Carte 80

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — what should you track about each speaker?

    Réponse

    Each speaker's role and goal. Knowing who needs information, approval, or action makes the exchange easier to follow.

81. Carte 81

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — what compact note pattern fits a problem-solving exchange?

    Réponse

    Problem → options → decision. Add the reason for the final choice if the speakers give one.

82. Carte 82

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — which details are most worth writing down?

    Réponse

    Details that change the plan or explain a choice. Dates, requirements, obstacles, and decisions usually matter more than examples or greetings.

83. Carte 83

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — how can tone reveal speaker intent?

    Réponse

    Tone can show doubt, relief, hesitation, politeness, or disagreement. Combine it with the speaker's words before inferring intent.

84. Carte 84

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — what supports a sound inference?

    Réponse

    Two or more clues from the exchange. Choose what follows from the speakers' words and situation, not what is merely possible.

85. Carte 85

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — why should you expect paraphrases in the options?

    Réponse

    Correct answers often restate the audio with different words. Match the idea rather than waiting for an exact phrase.

86. Carte 86

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — how can a two-column note layout help?

    Réponse

    Give each speaker a column. This keeps requests, objections, and decisions attached to the right person.

87. Carte 87

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — how do you predict a likely next action?

    Réponse

    Use the final decision plus any stated condition. The next action should follow directly from where the speakers leave the situation.

88. Carte 88

    Question

    Listen to a Conversation — why can one memorable sentence be misleading?

    Réponse

    A single sentence may describe an option that the speakers later reject. Follow the whole exchange before choosing the outcome.

89. Carte 89

    Question

    Listen to an Announcement — where does this task usually take place?

    Réponse

    In an academic or campus setting. Expect a focused message about information students or staff need to act on.

90. Carte 90

    Question

    Listen to an Announcement — which abilities does the task measure?

    Réponse

    Understanding purpose, key information, implied meaning, and likely next actions. The message often combines facts with instructions.

91. Carte 91

    Question

92. Carte 92

    Question

    Listen to an Announcement — which four logistics labels keep notes organized?

    Réponse

    Who, what, when, and where. Add a required action when the message asks listeners to do something.

93. Carte 93

    Question

    Listen to an Announcement — which words often signal a change to an earlier plan?

    Réponse

    Words such as instead, now, rescheduled, and rather than. Put the updated information in your notes, not just the original plan.

94. Carte 94

    Question

    Listen to an Announcement — how should you record a reason and its result?

    Réponse

    Link them as cause → consequence. This prevents you from confusing why the change happened with what listeners must do.

95. Carte 95

    Question

    Listen to an Announcement — how do you identify the likely next action?

    Réponse

    Look for instructions, deadlines, and eligibility conditions. The expected action must fit all three when they are stated.

96. Carte 96

    Question

    Listen to an Announcement — what makes an implied conclusion safe?

    Réponse

    It follows from explicit facts in the message. Do not add campus rules or procedures that the speaker never mentions.

97. Carte 97

    Question

    Listen to an Announcement — how should you handle numbers, dates, and room names?

    Réponse

    Write them in short form as soon as you hear them. Exact logistical details are harder to reconstruct from memory than the main purpose.

98. Carte 98

    Question

    Listen to an Announcement — what evidence should control your answer?

    Réponse

    The speaker's actual message. Familiar campus routines may sound plausible, but they are not evidence unless the audio supports them.

99. Carte 99

    Question

    Listen to an Academic Talk — what kind of audio do you hear?

    Réponse

    A short academic talk by a professor or expert. It is focused rather than a long lecture set.

100. Carte 100

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — do you need specialist knowledge of the subject?

     Réponse

     No. ETS uses varied academic fields, but the information needed to answer comes from the talk itself.

101. Carte 101

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — which kinds of understanding does ETS target?

     Réponse

     Main ideas, supporting details, organization, inferences, and sometimes uncommon or idiomatic vocabulary.

102. Carte 102

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you phrase the main idea in your notes?

     Réponse

     Write the topic plus the professor's central point about it. A bare subject name does not capture the talk's direction.

103. Carte 103

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — which common structures should you listen for?

     Réponse

     Comparison, cause and effect, a sequence, a definition with examples, or a problem with a solution. The structure shows how details connect.

104. Carte 104

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — what do signposts such as first, however, and as a result reveal?

     Réponse

     The relationship between ideas. They can mark sequence, contrast, or consequence before the content is complete.

105. Carte 105

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how can you tell why the speaker gives an example?

     Réponse

     Connect the example to the claim immediately before it. The example may illustrate, support, qualify, or challenge that point.

106. Carte 106

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — what is an efficient comparison note?

     Réponse

     Name both subjects and record one shared feature or key difference. Keep each feature aligned with the correct subject.

107. Carte 107

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — what note symbol clarifies a causal chain?

     Réponse

     Use arrows: cause → immediate effect → wider result. This preserves order when several consequences are discussed.

108. Carte 108

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you record a new term?

     Réponse

     Write the term, a short definition, and one example if given. Keep the example attached to the concept it illustrates.

109. Carte 109

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — what makes an inference stronger than a guess?

     Réponse

     It combines the speaker's claim, supporting detail, and tone. A reasonable fact from outside the talk is still not enough.

110. Carte 110

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how can context unlock an uncommon word?

     Réponse

     Use the surrounding definition, contrast, example, or result. Infer the meaning needed in that sentence rather than a complete dictionary entry.

111. Carte 111

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you interpret an idiomatic phrase?

     Réponse

     Read it through the speaker's point and tone, not word by word. The intended meaning must fit the surrounding explanation.

112. Carte 112

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — what note hierarchy keeps details useful?

     Réponse

     Main idea → major point → evidence or example. Indentation helps you see which detail supports which claim.

113. Carte 113

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — why should you mark a correction or qualification?

     Réponse

     It may replace or narrow an earlier statement. The revised idea, not the first rough version, is usually the one that matters.

114. Carte 114

     Question

     Listen to an Academic Talk — how can the ending help you check your notes?

     Réponse

     Use the closing summary or conclusion to confirm the central point. Update your main-idea note if the talk's direction became clearer.

115. Carte 115

     Question

     Build a Sentence — reorder the chunks. Start with The seminar and end with at noon: the seminar / begins / at noon

173. Carte 173

     Question

     Take an Interview — what context appears before the questions?

175. Carte 175

     Question

176. Carte 176

     Question

     Take an Interview — how can you make an opinion answer coherent?

179. Carte 179

     Question

     Take an Interview — which delivery qualities matter across the responses?

     Réponse

     Clear speech, a natural pace, intelligible pronunciation, and coherent elaboration. Suitable vocabulary and accurate grammar support the message.

180. Carte 180

     Question

     Take an Interview — what should you do if you need a moment to plan?

     Réponse
