  • Hey, aren't you taking the test soon? Yes, I am. I'm a little nervous about it.

  • Well, I have a tip for you for Part 2 of the Listening Section.

  • Part 2 of the Listening Section asks questions like Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How.

  • You will often hear one of these words at the beginning of a question.

  • These words give you clues about what the right answer will be. For example, if you

  • hear a question starting with Who, you should be listening for an answer that has a person.

  • If one of the choices doesn't have any people in it, then you know it's wrong.

  • Oh, I get it. So, for question with Where, I should be listening for an answer with a

  • place. If one of the choices doesn't mention any places, then I'll know that it's a trick.

  • And for a question with When, I should be listening for an answer about time.

  • Exactly! What about What, Why, and How questions?

  • For What, Why, or How questions, you want to listen for a reason or for information.

  • For instance, you might be asked what someone ordered to eat or why they ordered it.

  • You might also be asked something like how someone will get home.

  • Ah, I see. Thanks for this great tip. Now I won't get tricked on the test.

  • You're welcome, buddy.

Hey, aren't you taking the test soon? Yes, I am. I'm a little nervous about it.
