CELPIP Listening Part 3: Information
In Part 3, you hear one person providing information on a particular topic — like a tour guide, instructor, or announcer. You need to identify key facts, details, and the overall purpose of the message.
Practice Information NowWhat to Expect
You will hear a monologue — one speaker sharing information. This might be a tour guide describing a location, a manager giving instructions, a community announcement, or an instructor explaining a process.
The passage runs about 1.5 to 2.5 minutes. The speaker presents facts, instructions, or descriptions in an organized way.
Questions test your ability to identify the main topic, capture specific details (names, numbers, steps), understand the purpose of the information, and recall the order of steps or events described.
Tips for Scoring High
- Since this is a monologue, there are no speaker changes to guide you. Focus on the structure: introduction, main points, and conclusion.
- Take brief notes on numbers, names, dates, and steps — these are commonly tested details.
- Listen for organizational markers like "First", "Next", "Finally", "The main reason", and "Most importantly".
- If the speaker describes a process or set of instructions, pay attention to the order.
- The main idea is usually stated in the first few sentences. Don't wait too long to identify it.
