SKILL 18: ANTICIPATE THE TOPIC The participant will hear conversations and the questions on a recording, they are not written in the test book and he/she must choose the best answer to each question from the four choices that are written in the test book. The conversations are often about some aspect of school (how difficult a class is, how to write a research paper, how to register for a course) or about general living (renting an apartment, playing sports, going to the bank). The conversations can also be about topics currently in the news in the United States (desalination of the water supply, recycling of used products, damage from a storm or some other type of natural phenomenon).
