Epiphany Listening Activities

Happy King’s Day everyone!

Our last class before Christmas we did quite a few challenging listening activities based on the official Cambridge Exams, both the First and the Advanced.

Based on the official Common European Framework, the First Certificate is the equivalent of a B2, or upper intermediate level and the Advanced Certificate is equivalent to a C1. To read more about this scale of language proficiency, click here.

As a King’s Day gift to our lovely students, here are the answers to the listening activities you completed last class. Please bear in mind that we will take a closer look at the audio scripts and the Advanced Certificate listening activities together in our next class.
