Questions 1–10: 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.
“PIETER: I've decided on the one called 'Select.'”
Asked which account he wants, Pieter says 'I've decided on the one called Select', so Select is the account name.
“WOMAN: Oh, right. OK. And what's your date of birth please?PIETER: The twenty-seventh of the first, nineteen seventy-three”
His birth date is given as 'the twenty-seventh of the first, nineteen seventy-three', so the year is 1973.
“WOMAN: OK, fine. And where are you living, Mr Henes?PIETER: 15 Riverside”
His address is '15 Riverside', a house number followed by the street name.
“WOMAN: How long have you been at your present address? Er, is it more than two years?PIETER: Ah, just two weeks actually”
Asked if he has lived there more than two years, he replies 'Ah, just two weeks actually'.
“PIETER: Yes, I think the number at my office is six-oh-six-two-nine-five. Um, just a minute, I'd better check. Oh, no sorry, six-one-six. I'm not used to it yet”
He first says 'six-oh-six-two-nine-five', then corrects himself: 'no sorry, six-one-six', giving 616295.

He is a project manager in Britain but says 'I'm an engineer by profession', which the clerk records as shorter.
“WOMAN: Mother's might be better. It's less likely to be known.PIETER: OK. Hers is Siti”
The clerk prefers 'Mother's might be better. It's less likely to be known', so mother is the security answer.
“Well, I'm going to transfer €2,000 from my Dutch account, just till I get paid”
He will 'transfer €2,000 from my Dutch account, just till I get paid', so the amount is 2,000.

He rejects weekly statements as 'too often' and asks 'Can I have them sent, um, once a month?'
