Questions 21–30: 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.
“I remember, my birthday's on May 4th and it was the day after, it must have been May 5th”
She dates the visit from her birthday: 'my birthday's on May 4th and it was the day after, it must have been May 5th'.
“ANNIE: No, and we finish at the end of this week, on Friday, so that's July 15th?BEN: Er 16th, Monday was the 12th”
Annie guesses July 15th but Ben corrects her — 'Er 16th, Monday was the 12th' — so term ends on 16th July.
“ANNIE: Er, clear? It was, wasn't it?BEN: Yes, I think the organisation was clear”
Ben confirms 'the organisation was clear', the adjective needed to describe how the course was structured.
“It was a good thing he gave us the course outline at the beginning, in the first session, that was useful, so I'll put that down, shall I”
He valued that the tutor 'gave us the course outline at the beginning, in the first session', so outline fills the gap.
“I thought it was going to be really easy and then all of a sudden in the second half of the course we got a whole load of work, reading to do and essays and things”
The workload surprised them: 'all of a sudden in the second half of the course we got a whole load of work', so the 2nd half.
“Well, what I thought was really good on this course was the standard of teaching. Actually — I mean some of the teachers were better than others — but the standard generally was fine. Much better than other courses I've been on”
The strength named is 'the standard of teaching', which 'generally was fine' and better than other courses attended.
“I I didn't think it was all that wonderful when we had great long group discussion sessions that went on for hours and hours. I don't mean we shouldn't have group discussions, just that they shouldn't go on too long”
The complaint concerns 'great long group discussion sessions that went on for hours', so discussion is what lasted too long.
“ANNIE: Now, on to materials and equipment. BEN: Oh, now what was good about some sessions was the handouts. ANNIE: Yes, I thought all the handouts were good actually, and some were great, with website addresses and everything”
For materials, Ben says 'what was good about some sessions was the handouts', and Annie agrees they were good.
“Yeah, but I'm not so sure about the written work. One thing I think is that there's just too much, it's really stressful”
Annie is unsure 'about the written work': 'there's just too much, it's really stressful', so written work is criticised.
“BEN: I thought student support was excellent. ANNIE: Yeah, me too. OK, excellent. Other comments”
Ben says 'student support was excellent' and Annie agrees, so the excellent rating applies to student support.
