Task 3 — Describing a Scene

High value

Task 7 — Expressing Opinions

High value

Share your opinion on a social or workplace topic and support it with reasons and examples. Avoid neutral answers — take a clear position.

CLB 4681012

Task 8 — Describing an Unusual Situation

Describe and react to an unusual or unexpected scenario. Requires creative, descriptive language and the ability to explain implications.

CLB 4681012

Part 1 — Problem Solving

Most complex

Listen to a conversation involving a problem between two speakers. Track the chronological sequence of what solutions are discussed, rejected and finally chosen.

💡 Don't just listen for facts — track the decision-making process. Note: initial problem → options considered → final decision.

CLB 4681012

Part 2 — Daily Life Situations

Short practical dialogues — phone bookings, service desk conversations, appointment scheduling. Answer questions about specific details mentioned.

💡 Read all questions before the audio starts. This primes you for what information to listen for in each exchange.

CLB 4681012

Part 3 — News Report

Listen to a Canadian news broadcast and answer comprehension questions. Requires understanding of reported speech, statistics and news conventions.

CLB 4681012

CLB 4681012

Part 5 — Talk / Presentation

A monologue or workplace presentation. Note key points, examples and the overall message. Requires sustained concentration for 3–4 minutes.

CLB 4681012

Part 6 — Academic Listening

Hardest

Academic-style lecture on a complex topic. Most demanding listening task — requires note-taking, understanding of academic language and abstract concepts.

💡 Take notes on: main argument → 3 key supporting points → any statistics or examples → conclusion. Review questions during the 30-second preview.

CLB 4681012

Part 1 — Correspondence

Read emails or letters and answer questions about purpose, tone, sender intent and key information. Canadian workplace email conventions are used throughout.

💡 Read the questions first, then scan the email for answers. Look for the purpose (why was it sent?) as a first step.

CLB 4681012

Part 2 — Diagram / Chart

Read a labelled diagram, infographic, floor plan or chart. Answer factual comprehension questions that require careful reading of both visual and text elements.

💡 Read ALL labels and titles carefully. Questions often test very specific details — a single misread label can cost a mark.

CLB 4681012

Part 3 — Viewpoints

High value

Read an opinion text and identify the writer's perspective, attitude, implied meaning and supporting arguments. Tests ability to read beyond literal meaning.

💡 Identify the writer's main claim first. Then match each question to paragraphs. Watch for words like "however", "despite" that signal contrasting viewpoints.

CLB 4681012

Part 4 — Information Text

Hardest

A long factual text — procedure, explanation or description. Locate specific information to answer 11 questions. The longest and most challenging reading task.

💡 Use keyword scanning — find a word from each question in the text, then read that paragraph carefully. Don't read the whole text linearly.
