This listening task is designed for real-life listening, not test listening.
The goal is:
You are allowed to listen while:
This is intentional.
If you prefer, you can:
The audio is on loop, so repetition is expected.
Doing nothing is fine — this is not wasting time.
It does not matter what you are doing.
It only matters what happens when you hear the sentence.
Ask yourself every time:
There is no required number of times.
Some students need:
This is normal.
The rule is simple:
You are done only if:
If you must “pay attention” to understand,
the meaning is not stable yet.
Listening comes before speaking.
Speaking is used to test whether listening stability is real.
If listening is shallow,
speaking will always feel slow and forced.
