The GCSE Polish Higher Tier Paper 1 Listening exam on Wednesday 12 June 2024 is designed
to assess your ability to understand spoken Polish in a variety of contexts. The exam will test your
comprehension of different types of spoken texts, such as conversations, interviews, announcements,
and announcements related to everyday situations, social interactions, and cultural themes.
What is questioned in the exam:
The listening exam typically consists of multiple sections that assess your ability to understand
different forms of spoken language in Polish. The exam may involve:
1. Multiple Choice Questions:
o You will listen to a spoken passage in Polish and answer a series of multiple-choice
questions. These questions will test your general understanding of the passage and
will require you to identify key information such as details about people, places,
times, or events.
o Example:
What is the main topic of the conversation?
What time does the event take place?
2. Short Answer Questions:
o After listening to a passage, you may be asked to answer questions in English or
Polish. These questions typically require you to extract specific information from the
audio.
o Example:
What did the speaker say about their weekend plans?
How does the person feel about the event they are discussing?
3. True/False/Not Given Questions:
o You may be asked to decide whether a statement based on the spoken text is True,
False, or Not Given. This tests your ability to interpret details and understand
whether information was confirmed or not in the passage.
o Example:
The speaker is going to the cinema. True/False/Not Given.
4. Fill-in-the-Blank Questions:
o You may need to complete a sentence based on information heard in the audio. This
could involve filling in missing words, such as names, places, times, or other details.
o Example:
The speaker is going to _______ for the holiday.
5. Matching Questions:
o In some sections, you may be required to match speakers to the statements they made
or to match information from the audio to a set of options.
o Example:
Match the person to their favorite hobby.
6. Longer Listening Passages:
o Some parts of the exam will feature longer passages of dialogue or monologue. After
listening to these passages, you may need to summarize or answer questions based on
more detailed information.
o Example:
Summarize the speaker's opinion on the importance of exercise.
