Listening Part 4: News Item

Recognise the news and current-affairs vocabulary that appears in the broadcast-style audio of CELPIP Listening Part 4.

How to use these words: Part 4 is a short news report. News writing uses its own vocabulary for events, statistics and consequences, so recognising it helps you follow a denser, more formal text.
