Listening: Highlight Correct Summary
Listen once, then choose the summary that matches the recording. Three of the four are wrong in different ways — one reverses the speaker’s conclusion, one promotes a side point, one says something they never said. There’s no penalty for a wrong choice, so never leave it unanswered.

Tips for Highlight Correct Summary
- Note the speaker's main point and conclusion, not every detail.
- Watch for three traps: a summary that reverses the conclusion, one that makes a minor point the main one, and one that says something the speaker never said.
- Rule summaries out: one wrong claim is enough to make a summary wrong.
