Cambridge English: Preliminary - Listening - sample 2

{Cambridge English: Preliminary - Listening}

{Exam Practice}

1) Please download this file, if you haven't already. It is a copy of the answer sheet for the Listening paper of your Preliminary exam.

I think it would be a good idea to print four copies of the answer sheet.

2) Next, you need to get hold of this file, which contains the second sample Listening test you are going to complete.

3) Then you need to get the audio tracks for Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4.

4) Try to complete the Listening paper under exam conditions: no interuptions, no help from dictionaries or internet, finish in the maximum time allowed.

We can discuss your answers in class.

A quick revision exercise - grammar

{GRAMMAR}

Here is a very quick revision exercise.

Look at these verbs:

avoid     look forward to     choose     suggest     apologise for     imagine

manage     intend     remind     offer     persuade     miss

Now organise them into two groups:

1) verbs that are followed by a full infinitive (for example, "to do")

2) verbs that are followed by the -ing form (for example, "doing")

After you have made your two lists, why not write an example sentence for each verb?

If you like, you can write your example sentences in the comments below.

See you in class.

Cambridge English: Preliminary - Speaking

{Exam preparation}

Here is a video which you can find on the usual video sharing site.

It demonstrates the Speaking part of your Cambridge English: Preliminary exam.

Watch the video. 

Make a note of the different steps in the Speaking test: what does the interlocutor do? 

When do the candidates speak individually and when do they speak together? 

Think about the language they use.

Would you say the same things? Do you know some other expressions that you could use during the different parts of the test?

If you have any questions, we can talk about them in class.
