Section-by-section outline (method + instructions)

Section A (Listening + single-sentence response)

  • A sample question is played to test device compatibility.
  • Instructions shown/said:
    • Read the given sentence and play the recording.
    • Answer using one complete single sentence.
    • Listen to the information and the question, then decide how to respond.
  • Example format demonstrated:
    • Speaker identity provided (e.g., “Your name is Anna”).
    • Personal facts provided (e.g., likes painting in free time).
    • Question asks about that fact (e.g., “What do you do in your free time?”).

  • Another example is shown with conflicting details (e.g., age and feelings), but the participant still answers in short sentences.

End condition: “Section A is now complete.”
