What this part tests

This part is tested with One Choice (Q1–4). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.

Questions 1–4: One Choice

Strategy: Read the question stem and predict the answer before looking at the options. Wrong options often repeat words from the audio while the correct one paraphrases them.

Q1B
“B: Systems analyst, but for the form I don't know whether it would count as professional or business or what.A: What do you think?B: OK, it's more like business”

B: he decides his job is 'more like business' than professional for the form, so business is the category.

Q2C
“B: No, I don't mind. It's £40,000 a year”

C: the salary is '£40,000 a year', the figure he gives without hesitation for the form.

Q3A
“Well, at work I tend to read for information and what have you, so I'd say that with TV it probably just helps me relax and unwind”

A: television 'just helps me relax and unwind', so relaxation rather than information is his reason.

Q4B
“B: Not a lot really I should say just over an hour”

B: he watches 'just over an hour' a day, so slightly more than one hour.
