FCE Listening: Part 4

Practise your Listening skills with this First Certificate test from Cambridge English, level B2 – with questions and corrections.

You will hear an interview with someone who has started a news service called “Children’s Express”. For questions 24-30 choose the best answer; A, B or C. You will hear the recording twice.

My advice:

  • Before the listening starts, quickly note or underline the important words and differences between the answers (“Think in an ADULT way” is not the same as consider “IMPORTANT matters”; “HELP the reporters IN the interviews” is different to “TALK to the reporters ABOUT the interviews”).
  • The first time you listen, if you are not able to choose the correct answer, at least try to eliminate one option.
