What this part tests
This part is tested with Table Completion (Q1–5). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 1–5: 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 it isn't far from the beach, either – only 300 metres, and only around half a kilometre to some shops, so you don't have to be too energetic”
Distance in metres: the house is 'only 300 metres' from the beach, so write the number 300.
“Um I can't read my own writing Something to do with sun Sunshine, is it? MAN: I think you meant the Sunshade Apartments. They're on a mountainside”
The name is corrected: the woman guesses 'sunshine', but the man says she means 'the Sunshade Apartments', capital S.
“It's an older style house with Greek paintings in every room, and a balcony outside”
The feature is 'a balcony outside', so the singular noun 'balcony' completes the description of the house.
“Well, there are forests all round and they hide a supermarket just down the road, so that's very useful for all your shopping needs”
The surroundings are described as 'forests all round', so 'forest' (plural allowed) is the feature the note lists.
“MAN: £319 at that time, but if you leave it till November it goes down by 40%”
The price quoted is '£319 at that time', so write 319, not the lower November figure after the 40% cut.
