Berikut ini adalah contoh dialog tentang checking understanding

Xavier: Abdul, I wonder if you could help me out.

Abdul: Sure, mate, what's up?

Xavier: It's about the Cambridge English test. I don't really get it.

Abdul: Oh, ok, that happens to be my expertise. What test will you take?

Xavier: FCE (First Certificate of English)

Abdul: OK, FCE is one of the mid high-level of English exams, precisely just two more levels to the top level, CPE (Cambridge Proficiency English). You know, unlike TOEFL or IELTS, in Cambridge system, there are levels in its English exams, like five levels for adult general English. FCE is on level 3. The order is KET, PET, FCE, CAE and CPE. Each is more challenging than the previous one.

Xavier: I see, hmm, so is it like TOEFL then? I mean the format.

Abdul: The format is not exactly the same, but the skill to be tested is similar, you know, speaking, listening, writing, reading and grammar. Do you get it?

Xavier: I get it now.

Abdul:Oh, perhaps one major difference than the exams is the speaking.

Xavier: What about it?

Abdul: you have to do it in pairs, directly in front of two native speakers.

Xavier: Oh really? that's quite daunting then.

Abdul: No, it's fine. Oh, the listening is also in British English, sometimes with kinda strong accent, you know. So, do you understand it now?

Xavier: Yeah, man, thanks.

Abdul: Just log on to its website for more info.

Xavier: Sure, I will.

Abdul: Good luck for the test then.

Xavier: Thanks, mate.
