What this part tests
This part is tested with Form Completion (Q1–10). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 1–10: Form Completion
Strategy: Read the form labels to predict the answer type, then listen for the paraphrase. Copy the exact word, name or number within the limit.
“WOMAN: It's Anu Bhatt. MAN: Could you spell your name please? WOMAN: Yes. A-N-U B-H-A double T”
The surname is spelled 'B-H-A double T', so it is Bhatt — double T at the end, capital B.
“31st March 1972”
Date of birth: '31st March 1972', so the form needs 31 March, with the month written in words.
“I'm doing a course in nursing”
Her course is 'nursing', so the form's subject field takes 'nursing' — an uncountable noun needing no article.
“Well, it'll take three years but I'd only like to stay in hall for two”
Numbers contrast: the course takes three years, but she wants to stay in hall for 'two', so write 2.
“Yes, I don't take red meat”
Diet: she says 'I don't take red meat', so the food avoided is meat, not every kind of dish.
“The other alternative is to opt for a single bedsit which actually has more space and better facilities. There's about £20 a week difference between them. WOMAN: Well, actually my grant is quite generous and I think the bedsit sounds the best option”
Accommodation type: the 'single bedsit' has more space and better facilities, and her generous grant makes it affordable.
“MAN: I wonder if you could let us know what your interests are. This might help us get a closer match for placing you in a particular hall. WOMAN: Ummm. Well, I love the theatre”
Interest given is 'the theatre', so the noun takes the definite article in the form's interests box.
“WOMAN: Well, the first thing is I'd prefer a hall where there are other mature students, if possible. MAN: Yes, we do have halls which tend to cater for slightly older students”
She asks for a hall with 'other mature students', which the officer says they cater for — slightly older students.
“WOMAN: Ummm and I'd prefer to be out of town”
Location preference: she would 'prefer to be out of town', so 'town' follows 'out of' in the form.
“Well, I would like somewhere with a shared area, a TV room for example, or something like that. It's a good way to socialise”
The facility wanted is 'a shared area, a TV room for example', so 'shared' describes the space.
