What this part tests
This part is tested with Note Completion (Q1–10). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 1–10: Note Completion
Strategy: Predict the word class from the note, find the paraphrase of the note's keyword in the transcript, then copy the answer exactly within the word limit.
“I always recommend people stay at the King's Hotel”
The recommendation is the King's Hotel, so the name field takes Kings, with King's also accepted.
“If you book a family room, it's about £125 per night”
A family room costs about 125 pounds per night, so write the figure 125 without the currency symbol.
“I think it's better to do a walking tour. It gives you a much better feel for the city”
She prefers a walking tour because it gives a much better feel for the city, so the type is 'walking'.
“One thing you could do is visit the old fort. You could get there by boat”
The old fort can be reached by boat, so the transport named in the note is 'boat'.

They arrive on Saturday for four nights, so Tuesday would be best for the trip.
“There's another one starting soon on space, which looks really good too”

Her cousin is vegetarian, and the food stalls are one of the best places for that kind of food.
“You need to get there quite early, though. At the weekend, most of the stores stop serving lunch at 2.30”
At the weekend most stores stop serving lunch at 2.30, so the cut-off time is 2.30.
“On some seats there’s a 75% discount”
Some seats carry a 75 percent discount, so the figure the note needs is 75.
