Hi So Hee Yu,

Well, in regards to your question, the correct answer should be option 4 (it should avoid giving too much write).  The reason why is because when we make a listening, or reading, comprehension test (which is a receptive skills test), we really want students to focus on listening.  We do not want to test their writing skills in this case, and therefore, we should avoid giving them too many questions which get them to write.  Therefore, option 4 makes the most sense in this case.

Does that make sense?  If not, please post again and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible!

Have a good day!

hello, thanks for your comment
by the way, this question is for choosing thing which is not a feature of a listening comprehension test,isn’t it?
You said that we should avoid giving too much to write when we test listening skill. It means 4) is the feature of listening test, doesn’t it?

Hi again So Hee Yu,

It seems I have made a huge mistake.  You're right, option four is a feature of a listening test.  This is embarrassing, but I myself must have misread the question.  Yes, we should make sure to avoid giving students too much to write when having them do a listening comprehension test.

Anyhow, the correct answer should be option 2 - students should be able to refer back to the text.  Option 2 would imply that students would be able to look back at, and read, the text.  Of course because this is a listening comprehension test this is not possible.  If it were a reading comprehension test it would be possible.  So, option 2 is the best choice, because it does not make logical sense.

Wow, I am so embarrassed.  Good thing you asked me again.  Anyhow, I hope that makes sense, and please post again if you're still confused.
