What this part tests
This part is tested with Note Completion (Q1–6). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 1–6: 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.
“Well, there are plenty of places to buy food in Kite Place- it’s the area by the harbour.”
Kite Place is the area by the harbour, so the gap needs the waterfront noun 'harbour'; the American spelling 'harbor' also counts.
“It’s at the far end of Kite Place, so you have to go over the bridge and then it’s on the right.”
To reach the shop you go over the bridge and then it is on the right, so the landmark is 'bridge'.
“As long as you get there by 3.30, you should be fine. It’s only 11 now, so plenty of time.”
You must get there by 3.30, and the speaker adds it is only 11 now, so the deadline is 3.30 written with a dot.
“it’s the name of a flower. I know, it’s ’Rose’.”
The shop is named after a flower and the name is given as Rose, so the capital letter and exact spelling matter.
“You can’t miss it-there’s also a big sign on the pavement so you can look for that.”
A big sign on the pavement helps you find the place, so the landmark the note wants is 'sign'.
“Yeah- you should be able to get everything you need, but there’s a minibus that goes to the supermarket if you need it. It’s purple and the number is 289.”
The minibus to the supermarket is purple and numbered 289, so the colour asked for is 'purple'.
