Listening: Listen to an Announcement

Learn the vocabulary of notices and announcements — changes, deadlines, requirements and instructions — which is where the answerable detail in this task always sits.

How to use these words: An announcement exists to change what you do. Listen for the words that mark a change, a condition or a deadline; those are the ones the question asks about.

Frequently asked questions

How long is an announcement?

Short and single-speaker. Because there is no second voice to repeat the point, one unfamiliar word can cost the detail — which is what makes this vocabulary worth pre-learning.

What kind of announcements appear?

Campus and everyday contexts: schedule changes, facility notices, procedures and requirements.
