Match items with correct information based on the recording.
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.

You will usually see a list of names or options (e.g., speakers, products, places) and a list of statements or features.
The list of options is often longer than the number of questions, so some options will not be used.
The information is not always given in the same order as it appears in the recording, which means careful listening is needed.
You may need to identify opinions, preferences, or specific facts about each item.
