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.

Q1park
“They start off practising on the site here, and we aim to get them riding on the road, but first they’re taken to ride in the park, away from the traffic.”

A place noun is needed, since children are 'taken to ride in the park, away from the traffic'.

Q2blue
“Then the instructors themselves are in blue shirts, and one of these is responsible for each class.”

A colour is required, and 'the instructors themselves are in blue shirts'.

Q3reference
“In order to be accepted, all our instructors have to submit a reference from someone who’s seen them work with children”

A noun follows 'submit a', and instructors must 'submit a reference from someone who's seen them work with children'.

Q4storyalso accepted: storey
“They’re out riding most of the time but they have quiet times too, where their instructor might tell them a story that’s got something to do with cycling, or get them to play a game together.”

A noun follows 'tell them a', and the instructor 'might tell them a story that's got something to do with cycling'.

Q5rain
“Now, what happens if there’s rain? Do the classes still run?”

A noun is needed after 'there's', and the parent asks 'what happens if there's rain?'

Q6snack
“And a snack for break time.”

A singular noun is needed for the food, and the camp provides 'a snack for break time'.

Q7medication
“And just at present Charlie has to take medication every few hours, so I’ll make sure he has that.”

A noun follows 'take', and Charlie 'has to take medication every few hours'.

Q8helmet
“The most important is that we have a very careful check to make sure that every child’s helmet fits properly.”

A piece of safety gear is required, and staff check 'that every child's helmet fits properly'.

Q9tent
“Then after that, all the instructors will be waiting to meet their classes, and they’ll meet up in the tent”

A noun follows 'in the', and children 'meet up in the tent' after the initial checks.

Q10199
“One hundred ninety-nine dollars”

A number is needed for the price, read out as 'one hundred ninety-nine dollars', so write 199.
