Understanding context – practice.
Read this introductory audio script:

done a course at the university, but Paul has not.”
(The extract relating to these questions comes from the last part of the recording.)
Look at the questions:
Now answer the following questions:
1 You will hear a conversation between 2 people. True / False
2 They are both students at the Open University. True / False
3 Rachel knows more about the Open University than Paul. True / False
4 There are 4 questions to answer. True / False
5 You can write both words and numbers. True / False
6 Grammar is not important for this type of question. True / False
