🎧 Listening
🎧 Audio coming soon
Listen for distractors. Two options will sound close to the right answer. Say each item aloud so you can hear the difference. Until the audio is ready, prepare by covering the English, reading each item below aloud twice, then saying the meaning from memory.
- الهِوايات hobbies
- الرِّياضة sport
- التَّرفيه leisure
- الفِعل الماضي past tense
- التَّجارِب الماضِيَّة past experiences
Exam link: in Paper 1 you hear each recording twice — use the first listening for the general idea and the second for detail.

Check your answers
