Questions 21–24: One Choice
Strategy: Read the question stem and predict the answer before looking at the options. Wrong options often repeat words from the audio while the correct one paraphrases them.
“And I've made a few notes on the proposal about things which could have been better sequenced”
A: his note concerns order, listing 'things which could have been better sequenced' in the proposal.
“Generally speaking, I feel you've often used complex structures and long sentences for the sake of it and as a consequence . . . although your paragraphing and inclusion of sub-headings help . . . it's quite hard to follow your train of thought at times. So cut them down a bit, can you”
C: 'complex structures and long sentences' make the argument 'hard to follow', so they should be cut down.
“I didn't mean that. Look, you've remembered to include headers and footers, which is good, but listing ideas clearly is important. Number them or use bullet points, which is even clearer. Then you'll focus the reader on your main points”
A: the advice is to list ideas clearly, numbering them or using bullet points to focus the reader.
“My father was a great fan of cowboy films and the Wild West so I was subjected to seeing all the epics, many of which were shot there. As a consequence, it feels very familiar to me and it's awesome both geographically and visually, so it's somewhere I've always wanted to visit”
B: cowboy films made the American West familiar, creating a long-standing wish to visit it.
