Short extracts and speaker purpose

Learn it simply

  • A speaker may complain, reassure, persuade or explain without naming that purpose directly.
  • Look at what the comment is trying to achieve in its context.
  • Important contrasts and qualifications often occur near the end.

More detail for teachers and confident learners

A speaker may complain, reassure, persuade or explain without naming that purpose directly. Look at what the comment is trying to achieve in its context. Important contrasts and qualifications often occur near the end. Select an answer that reflects the whole extract rather than a single emotional word.

Preview the question to identify whether it asks about fact, attitude, purpose or agreement. Follow the speaker's development rather than hunting for one repeated word. A speaker may concede a point before giving a different final judgement. Keep separate notes of each speaker's view during practice. After checking, explain the evidence and why a plausible distractor fails; this builds reliable understanding instead of answer memorisation.
