Understanding announcements
You hear four short everyday announcements, each only once, and answer one question on each with a, b or c.
Each correct answer is worth 1 point. Hören and Lesen count together: 45 points, B1 from 33.
You know the four traps of Hören Teil 1 and find the lure and the proof in every announcement: the change, the negation, someone else’s detail, the hidden answer.

How Teil 1 works
Teil 1 is the start of Hören. You hear four short announcements from everyday life. Each has one question with a, b or c, and you hear each announcement only once.
Hören and Lesen count together: 45 points, and for B1 you need 33. Each item here is worth 1 of them. An empty box surely brings nothing, so always tick an answer. And: the wrong options are built from a few recipes. Know the recipes and you won’t fall for them.
