Listening Part 6: Viewpoints
Part 6 plays the longest clip of the test, a report of about 3 minutes in which one speaker presents a community issue and relays the views of several named people. Then 6 sentence completions appear with drop-down menus. The questions lean on who said what and why, so notes organized by voice do most of the work.
