Before you start

  • This activity practises C1 Advanced Listening Part 4.
  • You will hear five short extracts about changing jobs.
  • You must complete two tasks at the same time.
  • Questions 21–25 ask for the reason each speaker changed job.
  • Questions 26–30 ask what each speaker feels about their new job.
Optional explanation: how to approach C1 Listening Part 4

Part 4 is difficult because you listen once for two different purposes. The same speaker gives information for both Task One and Task Two.

  • Before listening: read both option lists carefully.
  • First listening: make a quick choice for both tasks for each speaker.
  • Second listening: confirm the exact reason and feeling, not just the general topic.
