Dear Smith,
How nice to hear from you again. You want to know something about the Listening Part in our English Paper for the Entrance Examination of Colleges. I’d like to give you a brief introduction about it here. There are two sections in this part.
The first one includes 5 short dialogues. We can hear each for once and then choose one out of the three answers to a question about the dialogue. The question and possible answers are on the paper.
In Section 2 there are 5 long conversations or monologues, each of which may be heard twice with 2 to 4 questions raised about it.
The whole part, which mainly tests our understanding of spoken English, lasts about 20 minutes. We tick the answers on the paper first and then copy them on the answer sheet by blackening the small brackets with A, B, or C with a 2B pencil.
Best wishes.
Li Hua

One day, a little girl fell down onto the ground. At this time, the boy went over and wanted to help her up, but his mother stopped him and said, “ Don’t do that , otherwise others will think it was you who knocked her down.”
Another day the mother was surprised to see that her son just let the fallen oil bottle be. And the son said to his mother. “ If I had straightened up the bottle, you would have thought you did it.”
I disagree with what the mother did in the picture. I think that parents should let children know it is a pleasure to help others who are in trouble.
