What DELE A1 listening task 4 tests

In the official guide, the recording is a talk between two speakers about known or everyday subjects. The task tests whether you can understand names, words and phrases when people speak slowly and clearly. You get time to read the sentences first, and the conversation is played twice.

The lesson on listening task 4 gives the full method and a worked conversation.

Common traps

  1. Two options can fit a gap equally well on the page, such as martes and jueves after el. Only the conversation decides, so note both while you read and listen for the day.
  2. A speaker can correct a detail. After Vivo en el tercero. Bueno, no, en el cuarto, the floor named last is the one that counts.
  3. The option left over can still be in the conversation. A word such as taxi can come up only because the speaker decides against it.

Worked example

Transcript of the recording

Alba: Hola, Toni. ¿Qué vas a hacer el domingo?
Toni: Voy a ir al museo con mi prima Rosa. Ella vive en Toledo y viene a Madrid el sábado.
Alba: ¿Y por la noche?
Toni: Por la noche vamos a cenar en casa de mis padres.

Toni va a ir al museo con ______.

  1. a) su prima
  2. b) sus padres
  3. c) su hermana
Answer and explanation

Answer: a) su prima

Toni names the person straight away: Voy a ir al museo con mi prima Rosa. His parents come up later, for dinner (vamos a cenar en casa de mis padres), so b belongs to another part of the day. Nobody mentions a sister, so c is wrong.
