What this part tests
This part is tested with Table Completion (Q21–30). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 21–30: Table Completion
Strategy: Work row by row. The row label tells you where to look; the column heading tells you what kind of word you need.
“And what I decided to do was to look through catalogues specialising in IT”
She began by deciding 'to look through catalogues specialising in IT', so catalogues is the plural noun needed.
“Jane Prince. Do you know her? She's in the Computer Centre.TUTOR: Yes, of course, she's the new Head”
Jane Prince works 'in the Computer Centre' and the tutor confirms 'she's the new Head'.
“And, of course, the second target was to draw up a survey checklist which I”
The second target was 'to draw up a survey checklist', the two-word object the table requires.
“but in section three you really do need to have questions on teaching experience”
In section three 'you really do need to have questions on teaching experience', so that topic is compulsory.
“But I'm afraid I didn't manage to get hold of the essays about classroom management - you know, the ones by Simon Ericsson”
She could not get 'the essays about classroom management', so classroom is the missing subject word.
“SANDY: Of course. Could I just ask - what do you think I should call it?TUTOR: Well, I'd go for something like Context Review. What do you think?SANDY: Well, short and to the point”
The tutor suggests the title 'Context Review', which Sandy approves as 'short and to the point'.
“Now, as regards specific areas to work on, I'd be quite interested to have a few more statistics about the schools in the different zones”
He wants 'a few more statistics about the schools in the different zones', so schools is the focus area.
“Great, and although you did make a reference to quite a few different writers, I think you should aim to cite more works written later than 2000”
He advises citing 'more works written later than 2000', making the year 2000 the cut-off.
“Um I should aim for the end of term”
Asked about timing, she says 'I should aim for the end of term', so that is the deadline.
“My advice would be to get it done before you embark upon the research”
The advice is to get it done 'before you embark upon the research', so research comes afterwards.
