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.
“No, I’m actually Canadian.”
He says 'I'm actually Canadian', so the nationality is 'Canadian', written with a capital C.
“I’m an interior designer and I come over to buy old furniture”
As an interior designer he comes over 'to buy old furniture', so 'furniture' fits.
“Well at present I’ve got a place at Park Apartments, that’s on King Street.”
He has 'a place at Park Apartments, that's on King Street', so 'Park' is the name needed.
“But there was quite a bit of cash there … about £250 sterling, I should think.”
The stolen cash was 'about £250 sterling', so the figure needed is 250.
“At first I thought, oh I must have left the wallet back in the apartment, but then I realised my phone had gone as well.”
Besides the wallet, 'my phone had gone as well', so 'phone' fills the gap.
“So that was September the tenth.”
The date given is 'September the tenth', which is written 10 September.
“Anyway, I met up with a friend, and we spent a couple of hours in the museum.”
They 'spent a couple of hours in the museum', so the place visited is 'museum'.
“they were asking us what time it was, then all of a sudden they ran off.”
The strangers distracted them by 'asking us what time it was', so 'time' fills the gap.
“I do remember that – he was blond.”
The witness remembers 'he was blond', so that adjective describes the suspect's hair.
“So this is ten digits: 87954 82361.”
The number is dictated as 'ten digits: 87954 82361', so it must be copied exactly in that order.
