The idea
First identify the purpose of the message. On the second pass, listen specifically for task ownership after a handover. Negation, contrast words and time expressions can change an earlier detail. Write a short answer to each question before opening the answer. A correct response must match the message; information that sounds plausible but is not stated should stay out of your notes.
Listen for the decision
This original message tests task ownership after a handover. Keep the transcript closed for a first listen if your browser provides a German synthetic voice. Then replay and write down the specific detail needed for each question. The voice is device-generated; it is not a human recording, an exam recording or a test of natural background noise.

Read-aloud uses a synthetic German voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No German device voice is available. You can still read the text and use the linked listening resources.
Watch out
Do not confuse a mentioned option with the speaker's final instruction. For the first question, the supported answer is: Die Schilder gedruckt. Locate its evidence in the message. If your device has no German voice, this remains a reading-and-note-taking task; a transcript alone is not listening audio.
