PET Listening Part 2 (for schools)

Practise your Listening skills with this Preliminary English Test from Cambridge English, level B1 – with questions, notes and corrections.

You will hear part off a radio programme called ‘What’s on?’. For each question choose the best answer A, B or C. You will hear the recording twice. Answer in the box below. You will see notes and your final mark.

My advice:

Usually all three options are mentioned in the exercises. Read the question carefully to avoid confusions.
In some questions it is difficult to guess the correct answer. In this case, try to find out what the answer cannot be.
