Candidates must then identify the best response to complete the conversation. The conversations take place in a wide range of social settings and use a variety of language functions. Look at the list of language functions for this level on pages 212–214. The test items are based upon this list. The correct responses are always natural and common. The incorrect options belong to different groups of functions. The candidates hear each conversation once only, so it is important for them to anticipate the kind of response that is likely to complete a short conversation. The activities in this unit will give your students the opportunity 1 to practise identifying purpose, anticipating likely responses and avoiding distractors which fit in terms of grammar and topic area but which do not work pragmatically in the context. At C1 level, candidates need to be exposed to as wide as possible a range of authentic spoken language. Encourage your students to take opportunities outside the classroom to listen to films, TV and radio programmes to become more and more familiar with the ways in which messages are communicated in everyday conversations.
