What this part tests
This part is tested with Form Completion (Q1–6). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 1–6: Form Completion
Strategy: Read the form labels to predict the answer type, then listen for the paraphrase. Copy the exact word, name or number within the limit.
“It’s M-A-T-H-I-E-S-O-N.”
The surname is spelled M-A-T-H-I-E-S-O-N, so write MATHIESON exactly as dictated, in capitals.
“When I first spoke to Gary on the phone, he said it was a class for beginners”
Gary said the class was for beginners when she first phoned, so the level field takes 'beginners'.
“he decided to book a room at the college in town. I prefer going there”
Gary booked a room at the college in town, which she prefers, so the venue is 'college'.
“It’s just beyond there at the bottom of New Street near the city roundabout.”
The address is at the bottom of New Street near the city roundabout, so the street name is 'New'.
“We meet on Thursdays. It used to be 10.30 and that suited me well, but now we meet at 11.”
The time changed: it used to be 10.30, but now the group meets at 11, so 11 is the current time.
“Well, you can always buy a second-hand one. There’s a website called ‘The perfect instrument’ that sells all kinds of guitars, violins and so on.”
The website is called The perfect instrument and sells guitars and violins, so 'instrument' is the answer.
