Matching Features

Match items with correct information based on the recording.

Overview

In the Listening Matching Features task, you listen to a recording and match a list of items (e.g., people, places, or things) with a set of features or descriptions.

The items are usually labeled (A, B, C, etc.), and you must match them to the correct statements based on the information you hear.

This task may appear in Parts 2, or 3 and can involve a conversation or a monologue.

It tests your ability to understand specific details and relationships between different ideas.
