Preparing for BEC Vantage Listening
听力部分

Candidates should
给应试者的建议

1.use the full time allowed to read the questions carefully before they hear each piece, and underline key words and phrases in the instructions and questions. If they familiarize themselves with what is being asked, they are more likely to focus precisely on the points being tested. For example, in Part1, this will help candidates anticipate what kind of answer is required.
在听力开始前先仔细读题，并对问题中的关键词句做记号。如果应试者对于将要问的问题有了一定的了解之后，他们就更能准确定位要考的关键内容了。比如，在听力第一部分中，应试者可以对答案进行事先的推测。

2.write no more than two words and / or a number in Part1
在第一部分中，每个空不要填超过两个单词或一个数字。

3.remember that any error discovered in Part2 when hearing the piece for the second time may have an effect on the other answers
记住在做第二部分时，当第二遍听录音时发现了错误，那么改动任意一个答案都会影响到其他的答案。

4.concentrate on gaining an in-depth understanding of what the speakers say, rather than only a superficial one, particularly in Part2 and 3
在听力第二部分和第三部分时，要集中注意力去理解说话者的深层含义，而不要被表明意思所误导。

5.make sure that in Part3 they choose an option that is not only true according to what is said, but also true in answer to the question
在第三部分时，选择的答案不仅要符合说话人的意思，还要符合问题所要求的。

6.answer every question, even if they have to guess, as no marks are lost for wrong answers
每个问题都要回答，即使是猜，也不能开天窗，反正答错也不扣分。

7.take particular care to transfer their answers correctly to the answer sheet
把答案誊写到答题卡上时要特别仔细，不要抄错了。
