Quel que soit l'examen que vous passez, faites-le car c'est excellent pour progresser en listening (compréhension orale).

Suivez les indications car il faut bien comprendre le format de l'exercice.
L'exercice porte sur 30 énoncés qui peuvent être une question ou une affirmation.
Ces énoncés s'affichent 5 par 5. Et sont SEULEMENT en audio!
Pour chacun d'entre eux vous avez 3 phrases en audio SEULEMENT.
Vous devez sélectionner celle qui correspond LE MIEUX à l'énoncé.

 

Correction :
Faites les 30 questions d'un coup et puis après vérifiez vos réponses.
Je vous ai mis les réponses pour les questions 5 par 5. C'est plus facile pour vous corriger.

 

Conseils : méfiez-vous des pièges :

  • ce n'est pas parce que vous entendez un même mot dans la question et la réponse  que c'est la bonne réponse
  • prêtez la plus grande attention au mot interrogatif, car c'est souvent la clé
  • si vous bloquez sur une question - passez à la suivante pour éviter d'enchaîner plusieurs mauvaises réponses car vous avez fait un blocage sur un seul énoncé !

Souvenez-vous que cette épreuve est du "pur" listening donc ça peut être un peu déroutant au début.

Laissez-moi vos questions et commentaires dans la zone commentaires ci-dessous :

  • Hello Adrien! Please Pourquoi à la question 3 quand il dit: I went to New York last year on vacation, la réponse est:Where did you go on vacation? La réponse était déjà donnée dans l’affirmation. Mais là c’est comme si la réponse était la question. C’est aussi pareil à la question 23.

    • Hello Sandra,

      L’exercice proposé est pour faire travailler les deux sens, questions et réponses.

      Have a nice day.

  • Bonjour adrien, que signifie l’expression « Not in a million years », (too expensive for me) est-elle une Un phrasal verb ?

    Merci !

    • Hello Salah,

      Un phrasal verb est simplement un verbe suivi d’une particule qui confère à ce premier un autre sens.

      Ici, c’est juste une expression, qui pourrait se traduire par « jamais de la vie ».

      I hope this helps.

  • 28/30 on this one and 12/12 for exercises with photos.
    I feel confident for my Toeic if it is the same difficulty level.
    Maybe I shouldn’t…
    Or maybe it is because of my listening skills in real-life? Being a mother of four, I spend hours listening to people mumbling, grumbling, and murmuring? Just kitting! but it is true, I can hardly believe it is that easy.

  • Hi Adrien,
    I don’t understand the traduce of the following sentence:

    Did you happen to meet her. (L’avez vous rencontré par hasard) while that the word « happen » is « content »?
    and so « Nothing good is going to come out of it. » what does it mean?
    Thanks for feedbach,

    Mohamed

    • Hi Mohamed,

      Il s’agit de tournures idiomatiques.

      1/ Attention, to happen = se passer

      être heureux = to be happy

      2/ Nothing good is going to come out of it. = Il n’en sortira rien de bon.

      I hope this helps. 🙂
