FCE Listening Part 3

In listening Part 3 you hear 5 speakers and you select the correct answer from a choice of 8 possible statements.

Exam tip 1: A statement may refer to a particular part of what the speaker says or it may refer to what the speaker says as a whole. You need to listen both for details and for general meaning.

Exam tip 2: In the exam, you will hear each recording twice, so don't worry if you don't get all the answers the first time.
