Understanding Task-Based Listening

Task-based listening questions test your ability to understand what needs to be done, when, and how. You'll hear a situation followed by a question asking what the speaker should do next or what action to take. This section requires understanding instructions, requests, and contextual decision-making.

๐ŸŽฏ Key Strategies for Task-Based Listening

1. Before Listening
   - Read the question (ๅ•้กŒ็”จ็ด™)
   - Look at the answer choices
   - Note what action/decision is being asked
   - Identify the situation context

2. During Listening
   - Pay attention to the LAST part (often contains the key)
   - Listen for conditional statements (ใ‚‚ใ—ใ€ใ€œใŸใ‚‰ใ€ใ€œใชใ‚‰)
   - Note requirements or constraints (ใ€œใชใ‘ใ‚Œใฐใชใ‚‰ใชใ„)
   - Catch time expressions (ไปŠใ™ใใ€ๆ˜Žๆ—ฅใพใงใ€ใ€œๆ™‚ใพใง)
   - Listen for recommendations (ใ€œใŸๆ–นใŒใ„ใ„ใ€ใ€œในใ)

3. Common Question Types
   - ไฝ•ใ‚’ใ—ใพใ™ใ‹ (What will you do?)
   - ใฉใ†ใ—ใพใ™ใ‹ (What will you do?)
   - ไฝ•ใ‹ใ‚‰ๅง‹ใ‚ใพใ™ใ‹ (What will you start with?)
   - ๆฌกใซไฝ•ใ‚’ใ—ใพใ™ใ‹ (What will you do next?)
   - ใฉใ“ใซ่กŒใใพใ™ใ‹ (Where will you go?)

4. Key Phrases to Listen For
   - ใพใš (first)
   - ๆฌกใซ (next)
   - ใใ‚Œใ‹ใ‚‰ (then)
   - ๆœ€ๅพŒใซ (finally)
   - ใ€œใ—ใฆใ‹ใ‚‰ (after doing)
   - ใ€œใ™ใ‚‹ๅ‰ใซ (before doing)

5. Common Traps
   - Multiple actions mentioned (only one is correct)
   - Actions mentioned but NOT to be done now
   - Conditions that change the required action
   - Similar-sounding options

โš ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid

Wrong: ใ‚ณใƒ”ใƒผใ™ใ‚‹ (mentioned first)
Correct: ใ‚ณใƒ”ใƒผใ™ใ‚‹ (actually should do first)
Sometimes first mentioned = first to do, but NOT always!
Listen for sequence markers: ใพใš, ใใฎๅ‰ใซ, ใ€œใ—ใฆใ‹ใ‚‰

ใ€œใชใ„ใงใใ ใ•ใ„ = DON'T do (prohibition)
Not the same as ใ€œใ—ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ = DO (instruction)
