KET: Listening practice: telephone numbers

Hello KET students...Here are some listening exercises: you may have to write down a telephone number in the listening exam, so this is good practice. These exercises are quite difficult because the teacher only says the number once (one time), but if you find it too hard you can always pause and go back a bit to listen again. Have a pencil and paper ready!

PET: Spelling practice for the listening exam

Hello PET students...Here are some listening exercises: you will have to listen to and write down a name in the listening exam, so you need to practise. The  following exercises are quite difficult because the teacher only says the number once (one time), but if you find it too hard you can always go back at the end to listen again.) On the other hand, it would be great if you could do it listening only once, that way you would get really skilled at this activity.) Have a pencil and paper ready!
