1. Before starting oral comprehension activities, it is important to maintain good disposition and try to be as focused as possible to develop exercises more easily.

2. It is important before listening to the audio to read and underline the most important parts of the possible responses of each speaker.

3. Before and during listening,  it is necessary to think of words and vocabulary related to the words that were underlined in each speaker’s options.

4. Generally, audios can be heard twice then in the first time we hear the recording, we could write the letter of the option that we consider to resemble the response of each speaker and if we have more than two options for a speaker in the second listen we can focus more on what the speaker says choose the best option.

5. An effective strategy that I usually use is to write down those words or phrases that we hear and thus relate that information or those ideas with the possible answers.

1.  Not to Freak Out Because of the little time it given to read the instructions and questions

The instructions and questions must be read very carefully, take time to understand the meaning of the words before choosing any option.  Underlini g is a good strategy to bear in mind the informatiom that must be taken into account when list ning.

2.Be Cautious of distractors

While listening for the rigth option, we should be aware of that there are distractors in the audio, they are put in place to make us listen attentively and not to just jump at any option as the rigth answer. Sometimes, the first we think to be the correct answer is not, listening twice and give the answers a second thougth is always a must.

3. Identify Different Accents
There are many accents when it comes to English language.Some accents are easier to understand than others, so the way they speak may confuse us and make us get lost in the audio. It is better to know how identify them, training the ear
before taking the exam.

1. Read the instructions carefully, then take your time to read each of the questions and answers, it is important that you underline the words that seem key to you, so you will have a general idea and hypothesis of what the speakers will say.
2. Focus and listen carefully to the speakers, you should take notes of everything you hear, it is important that you do not write only words, try to put complete sentences, so when you are going to answer it will be easier for you.
3. Analyze the notes you have taken and the questions so that you can choose a good answer, if you are undecided with two answers write down the two letters and try to continue and when you listen to the recording again, focus on the questions you have doubts specifically on the ones where you have two options that you think may be correct.
4. Finally, it is important that if you don't understand a word you try to deduce the meaning from the context, and you should have a general idea of what each speaker is saying, so that it is easier to choose what each speaker is talking about.

Honestly I don't follow specific strategies to overcome this part of the examn. However, this is what I usually do:

1. Read the intructions carefully. It happens to me very often that I read the instructions quickly and carelessly, which always ends up bad.

2. Read each sentence and underline the keywords. Thus, it becomes easy to check what is the main idea of each of the sentences so that you won't waste valuable time in reading while listening.

3. Write the pontential letters of the specifed speaker in order to compare options and choose correctly.

4. Attempt to be as focused as possible on the recording. To achieve this, it is important to practice with concentration exercises that can be found on Internet.

1. According to the situation given in the instructions, I start to remember all the vocabulary I know about the topic and try to get into context.

2. While the first speaker starts, I quickly read the options and underline the key words, this way I have the possibility to keep in mind each concept and relate it to what each speaker says.

3. During the first listening, I take note of the most relevant information that each speaker says, especially I pay attention to the expressions, the way and the tone in which they say the sentence (optimism, dislike, etc).

4. I start underlining the possible options and discard those have no relation to what the people said.

5. Finally, in the second listening, I clear up any remaining doubts and verify the answers.

At first, during the initial 30 seconds of the audio, I examined in detail the options from A through H. This allowed for greater clarity on the options and provided me with a context prior to the start of the audio.

I then focused my attention on specific aspects of the audio, trying to take quick notes on each speaker's comments.

Third, I conducted an analysis of my notes and used this information to make an informed decision when choosing an answer.

Finally, I marked my answers based on what I had heard. Maintaining concentration during the audio was a challenge, as some parts were somewhat complex and the vocabulary used was somewhat difficult to understand.

Firstly, I underline the keywords, which allows me to grasp the essence of the question.

Secondly, this helps me to immerse myself in the context of the audio.

Thirdly, in the initial listening, staying in a focused mindset is key to selecting the optimal response. If doubts arise, I make a note of the letters corresponding to the best possible answers. Then, during the second playback, I carefully review the options and point to the most appropriate one.

Lastly, from my perspective the most important thing is to concentrate purely on what you are being asked to do, and not to let nerves or what is going on around you disturb you. Remember that there are two times you can listen to the audio, so read it very well and keep in mind what they are asking for. 🤸🏻‍♀️✨

2. Write every letter you believe might be the solution next to each speaker as you listen to the recording for the first time however, If a speaker has more than one letter next to it, try to determine which one is accurate after listening to it again.
