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.
“OFFICER: And your first name?STUDENT: It's Keiko. K-E-I-K-O”
First name spelled 'K-E-I-K-O', so Keiko is correct rather than a phonetic guess.
“OFFICER: Okay . . . your passport number is JO 6337 . .”
Passport number combines letters and digits: 'JO 6337', written as JO6337 without the space.
“OFFICER: Right, 21C Willow College, and how long are you planning on staying with homestay?STUDENT: About four months . . . longer if I like it . .”
Duration: 'About four months', with the option of staying 'longer if I like it'.
“Well, I've enrolled for twenty weeks in the . . . um . . . Advanced English Studies because I need help with my writing . . . and I'm nearly at the end of my first five-week course”
Course name: she enrolled for twenty weeks in 'Advanced English Studies' to improve her writing.
“I prefer . . . I mean I like young children, but I'd like to be with older people . . . you know . . . adults . . . someone around my age”
She likes young children but prefers older people, so the form records what she does not want.
“OFFICER: Okay, and what about pets?STUDENT: I am a veterinarian so that's fine . . . the more the better”
The homestay question is about 'pets'; as a veterinarian she says 'the more the better'.
