要想把听力短对话做得“快和准”，熟练掌握场景词是非常重要的。这次的四级考试中又有很多我们昂立在课上提到的关键词汇，比如11题的professor, library, bookstore，15题的biology, pass，17题的course, students，完全可以确定是校园场景；12题的grocery, supermarket, pick up都是购物场景词，特别是grocery，学生应该非常熟悉。还有13题的mess，14题的schedule，全部是课上反复强调的核心词汇，只要学生在考试之前一再复习，做听力的时候就会觉得得心应手。
这次的短对话中有两道可能学生在理解时候会有些阻碍，分别是13和14。13题的内容是，男的说“请原谅我们在这里造成的混乱，昨天晚上我们有一个大聚会，每个人都带来了吃的东西。”女的回答“从现在的状况可以推断昨晚的情景。我觉得你今天该做什么已经非常明确了。”从女人的话当中可以推断她希望男的今天可以把混乱的场面整理一下，也就是说他接下来该打扫卫生了。14题的内容是，女的说“你什么时候方便和约翰史密斯先生进行第一轮会谈？”男的回答“你是知道我的时间安排的，除了这个周一，其它都可以”，要听懂这个对话就要理解“other than和as good as the next day”，other than是“除了”的意思，as good as the next day的意思是“任何一天都行”，所以要提醒考生的是在复习的时候要牢记一些固定搭配，以备考试的不时之需。
以下是2010年6月19日四级答案听力 “长对话原文”：
长对话原文第一篇：
W: What sort of hours do you work, Steve?
M: Oh, I have to work very long hours, about 11 hours a day.
W: What time do you start?
M: I work 9 to 3. Then I start again at 5:30 and work until 11. Six days a week. So I have to work very unsocial hours.
W: And do you have to work at the weekend?
M: Oh, yes, that’s our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off.
W: What are the things you have to do, and the things you don’t have to do?
M: Eh, I don’t have to do the washing-up, so that’s good. I have to wear white and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean.
W: What’s hard about the job?
M: You’re standing up all the time. When we’re busy, people get angry and sharp. But that’s normal.
W: How did you learn the profession?
M: Well, I did a two year course at college. In the first year, we had to learn the basics. And then we had to take the exams.
W: Was it easy to find a job?
M: I wrote to about six hotels. And one of them gave me my first job. So I didn’t have to wait too long.
W: And what’s the secret of being good at your job?
M: Attention to detail and you have to love it. You have to show passion for it. And what are your plans for the future?
M: I want to have my own place when the time is right.
