You may encounter multiple-choice questions, sentence completion tasks, and comprehension checks where you need to identify the speaker’s intent, emotions, or key details from the conversation.
3. How can I prepare for unexpected turns in the conversation?

Yes, some conversations may include mild background noise to reflect real-world scenarios, such as a café or office setting. Training your ear to focus on the main dialogue despite distractions can be beneficial.
