De la même manière, le candidat écoute des monologues et doit répondre à trois questions par monologue. Cette section demande une attention particulière car elle est considérée, avec la section 3, comme la plus dure du Listening. L’exercice comprend 10 monologues au total, et chaque question est accompagnée de 4 propositions de réponses.

Exemple :

Le candidat entend : “Anyone planning on visiting the United States should first know that it’s a very big country. It’s so big that there are various trip packages that cater to personal interests and taste. If you’re interested in big cities, for example, you can visit New York, Chicago, or San Francisco. Each one of these urban hubs is the epitome of the American hustle and bustle way of life. If you’re interested in nature, you can visit states like California, Nevada, or Arizona, home of the Grand Canyon. For those who are interested in sports, you can go sailing in Florida. Finally, for those history fans, although the United States is a young country, you’ll find that places like Washington D.C., Boston, and Philadelphia are full of interesting bits of historical trivia. Wherever you decide to go, a visit to the United States will be an unforgettable experience for all travelers.”
