He was dedicating more time to games in his computer. 4.A great man , good person and hard worker. 5. He thought its normal issue and his personal. 6. Strict action by higher management.

[@ettyobz]

I really think Celpip , ilets and the rest should consider replaying the listening part at least 2 times. So the test doesn't become a note taking skill

[@caltheodore4201]

It clearly test more your memory skills and not listening. I am a native speaker and I find this a bit challenging.

[@gabyvaladezshow5198]

But how we can write everything whitout enough time??? It's impossible!! This exam is an memorize game!! Great business!!

[@8smenyangg165]

Exactly! This exam is nonsense

[@ettyobz]

Helpful stuff, but is this really a true listening test or the ability to take notes and memorize

[@rodolforoger]

Etty Obz Celpip listening is a memory game, not a test.

[@kanewang7902]

This conversation is clear and simple, no "big" words. (Probably because they both speak American English lol.) 1, Kathy caught Dan playing poker during the work. (Dan? Damn I played that too, sometimes Plants VS Zombies) 2, It's getting worse. 3, He probably has a gambling problem, well he doesn't think so. 4, Sharp, and very good. Took his time with the people and got things done. 5, He doesn't think of it a big issue and he thought it was none of Kathy's business. 6, Kathy is going to help Dan to get rid of his gambling problem, even Dan doesn't give a shit.

[@nikolaip.9944]

well this was easy one, but on CELPIP website they have another sample which is video of 3 persons talking about some French class. and in the questions you have to answer what they were wearing lol. so you have to take note even of such unexpected details. what is much worse they were discussing other students, so eventually it's like 5 or 6 persons that can be potentially mentioned in the question section. that was really tough one, even for a native speaker it would be very hard to adsorb so much information about so many strangers at once.

[@PrestoEnglish]

I heard from other test-takers that now they identify the people by names at the beginning, so the questions don't refer to the clothes. The sample test on their website is quite old and I believe they have made some changes since then.

Answers to the questions- 1a-regarding his inefficiency at work lately 2a-dans work performance has gone down considerably 3a-his poker addiction is the reason 4a-He was initially very efficient and a good listener 5a-he did not think he needed help and was feeling bad that he was being accused of minor discrepancies 6a-she was offering him help to get back on track or otherwise letting him go Ps-this is after listening once as I wanted to see if my note taking worked pls let know your comments...thanks

Thanks for sharing. Regarding no 5, if I say I feel bad, I want to show my sympathy, but that's not the case here, and it's not about discrepancies either. I could say Dan thought it was a minor issue.

[@SunilKumar-qy4um]

Do they provide options to choose from or one has to write in his/her own language?

[@PrestoEnglish]

In CELPIP listening, the questions are all in multiple choice format.

[@l3x475]

Why are there overlapping scores for bands in celpip? Like 33 is in 8 as well as 9

[@PrestoEnglish]

The reason is the questions have different difficulty levels. If you answer 5 difficult questions correctly, you should get more points than someone who answers 5 easy questions correctly.

- about his absent -becomes worst -gambling problem -he is a good person -he was upset -she will find someone to help the man ( please comment on my answers,,, are they correct?)

[@PrestoEnglish]

Firstly, for any English test, you want to use the correct word forms, for instance, it should be his absence, becomes worse. You may also want to be more specific in some of your answers. Why was he upset? How's the employer going to help?

[@lpoojkjjio]

1. Because she wants to help him overcome his gambling habit. 2. It become down. 3. Gambling/ Playing poker at work 4. He was diligent and a nice person 5. He doesn't think he is in problem 6. Help him leave gambling.

The expressions you used are not natural e.g. It become down, leave (quit) gambling, he is in problem (in trouble)

1. the woman talks to Dan because his absences due to his work were affected. 2. He's getting poor in his performance. 3. Due to gambling, poker at work as well 4. Dan was intelligent at foremost 5. Dan fell in denial about his situation and was irritated about what they observed in him 6. She's trying to help him or get someone to talk to.

[@PrestoEnglish]

You may have the right answers, but be sure to improve your grammatical accuracy and sentence structures. There are a number of errors here, e.g. He's not getting poorer. His performance is. The phrase 'his absences due to his work' makes no sense. When you join our 7-day online CELPIP training, you will get detailed feedback and corrections on your responses.

The woman wants to talk to Dan which is she call Dan for some problem at work. Before when Dan start his work at the office his doing great but lately his having a problem doing his job at work. The reason is Dan has a problem like what Kathy said he has gambling problem. She is upset for Dan's performance at work lately. Dan didn't feel the problem and just told Kathy that this was not her concern anymore. Yes Kathy what's Dan to get a help to a person to his problem, because she knows that Dan is a good guy and a hardworking person that's why she wanted to get a help to cure Dans gambling problem.
