words three times. The passage is printed on your Answer Sheet with about 50 words missing. First, you will hear the whole passage from beginning to end just to get a general idea of it. Then, in the second reading, you will hear a signal indicating the beginning of a pause after each sentence, sometimes two sentences or just part of a sentence.

When you hear this signal, you must get ready for what comes next from the recording. You can check what you have written when the passage is read to you once again without pauses.
