What it is: You read a list of sentences about the recording. The instruction tells you how many are true (usually five). Tick exactly that many. Each right tick = 1 mark.
The instruction on the paper: Choisissez les cinq affirmations vraies. [5] → Choose the five true statements.

Short example: 3 of the 6 sentences are true

The instruction here says 3, so choose 3. Then show the answer.

Vous allez entendre Zoé, qui parle de son nouveau lycée.

  1. Choisissez les trois affirmations vraies. A. Zoé a changé de lycée en septembre. B. Zoé va au lycée à vélo. C. Les cours commencent à 8 h 30. D. Zoé n'aime pas la cantine. E. Zoé trouve la cantine bon marché. F. Zoé a déjà beaucoup d'amis.

Depuis septembre, je suis dans un nouveau lycée, à Lyon. Avant, j'allais à l'école à vélo, mais maintenant je prends le tram : c'est trop loin. Les cours commencent à huit heures et demie. Ce que j'aime le plus, c'est la cantine : on mange bien et pas cher. Par contre, je n'ai pas encore beaucoup d'amis.

Since September I've been at a new school, in Lyon. Before, I cycled to school, but now I take the tram: it's too far. Lessons start at half past eight. What I like most is the canteen: the food is good and cheap. On the other hand, I don't have many friends yet.

Choisissez les cinq affirmations vraies.
Choose the five true statements.

not yet
Remember: Not true/false: you don't mark every sentence, you only tick the true ones. Tick exactly the number asked. Tick a statement only when you heard it, not because it sounds likely.

Tick only what you heard

Watch ne… pas, avant, numbers.

4

Count

Second listen: check, then count again.

Read → Follow → Tick → Count

Choisissez les trois affirmations vraies.

Vous allez entendre Malik, qui parle de son club de théâtre.

  1. Choisissez les trois affirmations vraies. A. Malik fait du théâtre depuis deux ans. B. Le club se retrouve le samedi. C. Malik est encore très timide. D. Le groupe prépare une pièce comique. E. Malik joue le rôle d'un professeur. F. Le club coûte quarante euros par mois.

Je fais du théâtre depuis deux ans, dans un club près de chez moi. On se retrouve le mercredi après-midi, pendant trois heures. Au début, j'étais très timide, mais maintenant je n'ai plus peur de parler devant les gens. Cette année, on prépare une pièce comique pour le mois de juin. Je joue un vieux professeur. Le club ne coûte pas cher : quarante euros par an.

I've been doing drama for two years, in a club near my home. We meet on Wednesday afternoons for three hours. At first I was very shy, but now I'm no longer afraid of speaking in front of people. This year we're preparing a comedy for June. I play an old teacher. The club isn't expensive: forty euros a year.

  1. A, D, E
The trap: Au début…, mais maintenant…: a statement can be true in the past and false now.

Do

  • Read all statements before the audio.
  • Check tense, negatives and numbers.
  • Tick exactly the number asked.

Don't

  • Tick because a word sounds familiar.
  • Tick what is only likely.
  • Tick six to be safe.
