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.
“that covers you not just for ordinary cycling but also for races both here in the city and also in other parts of Australia.”
Membership covers ordinary cycling and 'races both here in the city' and elsewhere in Australia.
“both types of membership include the club fee of 20 dollars. They also provide insurance in case you have an accident”
Both memberships include the $20 club fee and 'insurance in case you have an accident'.
“You can find them online: they’re called Jerriz.”
The name given is 'Jerriz'; it is a proper noun, so the spelling must match what you hear.
“If you can do about 25 kilometres an hour, you’d probably be level B”
Level B suits riders who can do 'about 25 kilometres an hour', so the speed is 25.
“There’s one on Tuesdays, and for that one you meet at 5.30 am, and the meeting point’s the stadium”
Tuesday's ride meets at 5.30 am at 'the stadium', the meeting point named.
“That’s on Thursdays. It starts at the same time, but they meet at the main gate to the park.”
Thursday's ride starts at the same time but meets 'at the main gate to the park'.
“And the members often go somewhere for coffee afterwards”
After a ride, members 'often go somewhere for coffee', so 'coffee' completes the note about the social stop.
“And does each ride have a leader?”
The question asks whether each ride has 'a leader', and that noun fills the gap.
“If you check the club website, you’ll see that the route for each ride is clearly marked. So you can just print that out”
The club website marks 'the route for each ride', so you can print it out.
“so you need to make sure your bike’s got lights.”
