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.
“At the moment I’m looking for a flat to rent here, so I’m in a hostel from Monday to Friday.”
He is looking for a flat but for now lives 'in a hostel from Monday to Friday', so hostel is his current accommodation.
“That’s 17, Buckleigh Street – B-U-C-K-L-E-I-G-H Street, Stamford, Lincolnshire, though you don’t really need the county.”
The street is spelled 'B-U-C-K-L-E-I-G-H Street', so Buckleigh must be copied with that exact spelling.
“PE9 7QT”
The postcode is given as 'PE9 7QT', so the letters, digits and spacing must match that order.
“I’ve just finished a short-term contract as a courier, and now I’m working as a waiter in one of the big hotels.”
After a courier contract he is now 'working as a waiter in one of the big hotels', so waiter is his job.
“My ambition is to go into parliament eventually, so my major subject is politics.”
His ambition is parliament, so 'my major subject is politics', the field he studies.
“I spend quite a lot of time cycling”
He says 'I spend quite a lot of time cycling', so cycling is the activity, spelled with a double c.
“For relaxation I’m also keen on the cinema”
For relaxation he is 'also keen on the cinema', so cinema names his leisure interest.
“Well, my sister is blind, so I’m particularly interested in working with disabled young people, to try and improve the quality of their lives.”
Because his sister is blind, he wants to work 'with disabled young people', so disabled is the adjective needed.
“Well, would 4.30 be OK? My last class finishes at 4, so I’d have plenty of time to get to your office.”
He suggests 'would 4.30 be OK?', so the appointment time is 4:30, written with a colon or dot.
“Yes, my mobile number’s 07788 136711.”
He gives 'my mobile number's 07788 136711', so all eleven digits must be written in that order.
