Listening: The Lost Phone

You will hear each recording twice, just like in the real MSA exam. Listen carefully, then answer the questions below — you won't be able to play a recording more than twice.

💡 Exam tip: In the real exam you hear each recording exactly twice — use the first play to get the general gist, then the second to fill in exact details, rather than trying to catch everything at once.
