    A2 Flyers Listening Part 4: Pick the Right Picture

    Flyers Listening Part 4 plays five short conversations. After each one, your child answers a question by choosing the correct picture from three options. Five questions test whether children understand the overall meaning of a conversation, not just single words — the wrong pictures are usually mentioned too.

    How Flyers Listening Part 4 works

    1. Your child reads a printed question with three pictures — A, B and C — underneath it.

    2. They listen to a short conversation between two speakers.

    3. They tick the box under the picture that answers the question.

    4. This repeats five times — five separate conversations, one question each — and every recording plays twice.

    Tips to score higher in Part 4

    • All three pictures usually get a mention in the conversation — the right answer depends on the whole exchange, not the first word your child recognises.

    • Read the printed question before each conversation begins; it tells your child exactly what to listen for.

    • Practise negatives and corrections ('No, that was Monday…') — Part 4 loves a speaker who changes their mind.

    • Treat each of the five conversations as a fresh start: a miss on one has no effect on the next.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why does my child keep picking the wrong picture in Part 4?

    Almost always because they lock onto the first familiar word. Part 4 conversations typically mention all three pictures, and the correct answer depends on how the exchange ends — often after a correction like 'no, actually…'. Train the habit of listening to the whole conversation before ticking anything.

    How many conversations are in Listening Part 4?

    Five separate short conversations, each with its own printed question and its own set of three pictures. They are not connected to each other, and each one is played twice. That structure is forgiving: a child who loses the thread in one conversation gets a completely clean start on the next.

    How long is the whole Flyers Listening paper?

    About 25 minutes, covering 25 questions across five parts — matching names, form-filling, picture matching, these multiple-choice conversations, and finally colouring and writing on a scene. Every recording is played twice, and the pacing is designed for children, with pauses built in for answering.
