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.
“They’re called Home Solutions and they design and make furniture.”
The company 'design and make furniture', so the gap after 'make' takes the noun 'furniture'.
“Then they expect the person they appoint to attend meetings and take notes there …”
The person appointed must 'attend meetings and take notes there', so the plural 'meetings' fills the gap.
“That should be OK. And in my last job I also had to manage the diary.”
The applicant says she 'had to manage the diary', the noun matching the duty listed.
“Then they mention that they want someone who is careful and takes care with details”
They want someone 'careful' who 'takes care with details', so the noun 'detail' fits the gap.
“In fact they’re only asking for at least one year, so that’s great.”
The experience required is 'at least one year', which can be written as the figure '1 year'.
“So as far as the responsibilities for this position go, they want someone who can manage the stock, obviously, and also deliveries.”
The responsibilities include managing stock 'and also deliveries', so the plural noun 'deliveries' is needed.
“And tidy?”
The question 'And tidy?' follows a list of personal qualities, so the adjective 'tidy' describes the candidate.
“And for the last warehouse job I had, one of the things I enjoyed most was being part of a team.”
He enjoyed 'being part of a team' in his last warehouse job, so 'team' is the noun required.
“So you’re OK moving heavy things?”
The question 'you're OK moving heavy things?' supplies the adjective 'heavy', describing what must be lifted.
“And you’ve got experience of warehouse work … and the final thing they mention is customer service.”
The final requirement listed is 'customer service', so the gap needs 'customer' before 'service'.
