QUESTION TYPES TESTED
There are three main types of questions that you may come across:
1) Direct questions
2) Inferential questions
3) Trickier questions
These questions will test students’ ability to identify key messages, main
ideas and details. They also need to infer and draw conclusions by listening
closely.
Direct questions
The answers for direct questions can be found in the passage. Most of the
time, they start with “Who”, “What”, “When”, and “Where”. Sometimes, they
may start with “Why”, as well.
Ear Buddy’s Tip:
Pay attention to dates, times, and places, as well as the activities

that the characters engage in.
Inferential questions
The second question type is the inference question.
Most of the time, the student will have to listen carefully and come to a
logical conclusion to the question. Some inferential questions may also
require students to understand the overall or main idea of the passage. Here
are some examples of inference questions:
“How do you think ____ was feeling?”
“What do you think is the moral of the story?”
“What is the purpose of this text?”
At other times, the answer to the question may be differently worded e.g.
happy [in the question/options given] = jumped with joy [in the passage],
so be on the lookout for that.
Ear Buddy’s Tip:
To strategise, briefly read questions first to have a general

understanding of what will be asked. Remember that you can read
the questions at any point in time during the exam!
© l i l’ b u t M i g h t y 2020  
Trickier questions
There are some questions that are trickier. Some of these questions require
you to listen carefully and not get the sequence of events mixed up.
Sometimes, these questions also require you to pay close attention to how the
characters word their statements and not to interpret what they have said
wrongly.
Ear Buddy’s Tip:
Use the keywords in the question as a guide to track your

answer! Do make sure to read the entire option to ensure that
the details are accurate too.
If you have already shaded your answers and are confident that you did not
make any careless mistakes, you may read the questions for the next
passage.
Please pay attention to the question keywords and what the question is
asking for.
We hope that you will enjoy this listening course!
