Épreuve blanche CO 1 : trente minutes, une seule passe
P44.b2-listening.17 · Audience: guest, language-pro, it-ml
Unité CO-19 · campagne 14 · aujourd'hui, on écoute comme le jour J.
This unit is your first timed listening run. Set a timer yourself for 30 minutes — the app shows no countdown, because on exam day the only clock is the invigilator's. One sitting, no dictionary, no pausing, and above all one single pass: at the DELF the audio plays on its own schedule, so here you read each audio_text once at natural reading speed, answer, and never scroll back. Re-reading a passage is the listening equivalent of asking the examiner to rewind — train without it.
The pacing you are rehearsing:
- 1 minute per item to read the question and choices before the passage — lisez les questions d'abord, they tell you what to listen for.
- One pass through the passage, pencil moving: who speaks, what changed, which number.
- 30 seconds to commit an answer. An unanswered item scores like a wrong one; a hesitation carried into the next passage costs two items, not one.
Score yourself at the end against the readiness threshold: at least 85 % correct (here, 4/4 or nothing hurts less than it sounds — over the three runs of this wave, the average is what counts). Below the bar, log each miss: was it vocabulary, speed, or a distractor family? That log feeds the trap review in CO-23.
The four items are exam-length B2 passages on fresh ground: cross-border telework (les frontaliers), a rooftop farm (l'agriculture urbaine), suborbital tourism and its bilan carbone, and a rural canton whose school reopened a class — le regain démographique. Nothing here recycles earlier units; that is deliberate. Fresh topics are the exam's home terrain.
