What formats can audio materials take in the Listening section?

The Listening section often features a variety of spoken materials designed to test comprehension skills in real-world contexts. Conversations, lectures, and presentations are particularly relevant as they reflect common scenarios in both educational and professional environments.

Conversations simulate interactions that learners may experience in daily life or in an academic setting, helping to enhance practical listening abilities. Lectures provide insights into how information is presented in a structured format, which is essential for academic success, while presentations typically focus on delivering specific ideas or research findings in a more formal context.

These three formats ensure that learners are exposed to diverse speech patterns, contexts, and registers of language, preparing them for various listening tasks they might encounter in English-speaking settings.
