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.
“Of course. Altogether the park covers 170 acres, that’s 69 hectares.”
The note asks for the area in hectares, and the speaker converts 170 acres to 69 hectares, so write just the number.
“the gravel pits filled with water, forming the two large lakes. There are also several smaller ones, ponds and a stream that flows through the park.”
After the lakes and ponds, the speaker adds a stream that flows through the park, so the water feature is 'stream'.
“Well, one focus is on science, where we help children to discover and study plants, trees and insects. They also collect and analyse data about the things they see.”
Children collect and analyse data about the plants and insects they see, so the uncountable noun 'data' fits the gap.
“Another focus is on geography. The park is a great environment to learn and practice reading a map and using a compass to navigate around the park.”
The park is a place to practise reading a map and using a compass, so the object after reading is 'map'.
“That focuses on your visitors, I would imagine.”
The other speaker confirms the activity focuses on your visitors, so the plural noun 'visitors' is the answer.
“here the children experiment with natural materials to create sounds and explore rhythm and tempo.”
Children experiment with natural materials to create sounds and explore rhythm, so the plural noun is 'sounds'.
“I would imagine they get a sense of freedom that might not be a normal part of their lives.”
Asked what children gain, the speaker says they get a sense of freedom, so the abstract noun 'freedom' fits.
“And very often the children discover that they can do things they didn’t know they could do, and they develop new skills.”
The children discover they can do things they did not know they could do and develop new skills, so 'skills' fits.
“If there are over 30, it costs £4.95 for each child who attends on the day.”
For groups over thirty the charge is four pounds ninety-five for each child, so write only 4.95.
“There’s no charge for leaders and other adults-as many as you want to bring.”
There is no charge for leaders and other adults, so the group that comes free is 'leaders'.
