在聽錄音之前會給你時間讀題。
It's vital you analyze the questions here.
此時仔細分析問題至關重要。
Look for key words in the question, usually the nouns or verbs, underline or circle them.
尋找問題中的關鍵詞，通常是名詞或動詞，把他們標記出來。
Make sure you know the type of answers needed, for instance, is it a name, a telephone number, an adjective?
自己要知道答案是什么類型的，比如說，應該是個名字，一個電話號碼，還是一個形容詞？
Try to predict as much as you can before you listen.
在聽錄音之前盡你所能地預測問題。
Ask yourself: What is the situation? What is the topic?
問問自己：這個對話發生在什么情景下？話題是什么？
Who might be speaking? What might be the answers?
說話的可能是誰？答案可能是哪個？等等。
Synonyms are important, there is often a word in a question and a different word with a similar meaning in the listening.
同義詞要留神，錄音中往往有個詞的意思和問題中的某個詞相近。
Expect tricks. The speaker may try to confuse you, for example, they may give an answer and then change their decision.
對于欺騙性答案要有所準備。說話的人可能故意誤導你，比如他們可能會給出一個答案，接著卻改了主意。
Also be wary of negatives.
同時要留意否定詞。
Speakers might sometimes slip the word "not" into a sentence, don't choose in answer just because you hear specific words.
講話者有時候會丟一個表示否定的“not”在句子里，不要只是聽到答案中的幾個詞就盲目選擇。

Always have the next question in mind.
要時刻留意下一個問題。

要是你把所有注意都集中在一個問題上，很容易錯過很多問題的答案。
