A1 Movers Listening Part 3 — Match Two Picture Sets

    In Movers Listening Part 3, your child matches one set of pictures to another while listening to a dialogue — for example, matching days of the week to the places someone went. There are five questions, and it tests following a conversation and connecting spoken details to pictures.

    How Movers Listening Part 3 works

    1. The page shows a set of named pictures on the left and lettered pictures on the right — for example, days of the week on one side and places on the other.

    2. An example is matched first so the task is clear.

    3. Your child listens to a two-person dialogue that connects the sets one item at a time.

    4. They write the correct letter beside each left-hand item — five letters, each used only once.

    5. The recording repeats, giving a second chance to fill or check every box.

    Tips to prepare for Part 3

    • Before the audio, have your child silently name every picture — knowing what each option shows makes the letters easy to grab mid-dialogue.

    • Each letter is used at most once; if the same letter seems right twice, one of the two is wrong — a built-in checking trick.

    • The dialogue often mentions options that get rejected — 'Did he go to the park? No, the beach' — teach your child to wait for the confirmation before writing.

    • Mentally cross out letters already used to shrink the choices as the part goes on.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does 'match two sets of pictures' actually mean?

    Your child sees a list on the left — often named people or days of the week, each with a small picture — and a set of lettered pictures on the right. Listening to a dialogue, they write the correct letter next to each item on the left. Five questions, all from one conversation.

    Are there more lettered pictures than questions?

    Yes — there are more options than gaps, so some lettered pictures are never used, and each letter is used at most once. Warn your child about this in advance: leftover pictures are part of the design, not a sign they have made a mistake somewhere earlier.

    How can we practise this format at home?

    Play matching games with real information: 'Where did we go on Monday? What did Grandma buy?' Then let your child practise online — Conversation Matching follows a dialogue the same way, and the official Cambridge sample papers include a full Part 3 with audio you can try together.
