Section A: Conversations
Usually there is a direction telling what is to be tested and displaying an example for you. If you are familiar with all this, it is not necessary to read all the directions or to listen carefully. Instead you make use of this short span of time to have a glance over the following nine choices so as to have a rough idea of what is to be really tested.
