How many photographs are in Listening Part 1?

Nov 5, 2026
Short answer

Part 1 contains several photographs, each with four recorded statements and one correct description, and the section is short compared with Parts 3 and 4. Treat each item as a five-second decision and do not carry an uncertain answer into the next photograph, because the audio will not wait.
