What this part tests
This part is tested with Note Completion (Q13–21). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 13–21: 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.
“there's Barclays in Realty Square, National Westminster in Preston Park, Lloyds in City Plaza and Midland in Hope Street”
The Midland bank is 'in Hope Street', so Hope Street is the location required.
“Now, as an international student you will need to provide evidence that you can fund yourself for however long your course lasts”
Students must 'provide evidence that you can fund yourself' for the length of the course, so evidence.
“In addition to this most banks ask you to bring your passport and your letter or certificate of enrolment”
Most banks ask for 'your passport and your letter or certificate of enrolment', so passport.
“Now, by far the most useful type of account to open is a current account. When you do this, you will actually get what is called a "student account" which is a current account with special concessions for students”
The most useful account is 'a current account', which becomes a student account with concessions.
“When you open the account, the bank will give you a chequebook and you can use this to draw money out as you need it. If you need to write cheques in shops, you'll also need a cheque card”
The bank gives you 'a chequebook... to draw money out as you need it'.
“You can also withdraw cash from a cashpoint machine with a cashcard. These are extremely useful as they enable you to withdraw cash from your account during the day or at night”
A cashcard lets you 'withdraw cash from a cashpoint machine', so withdraw is the verb needed.
“It takes the money right out of your account, so you don't need your chequebook”
A cashcard takes the money 'right out of your account', so you do not need your chequebook.
“Be very careful with this you should not do this without permission from your bank”
'You should not do this without permission from your bank', so permission is required first.
“Banks used to be open from 9.30 am until 3.30 pm from Monday to Friday but many main branches are now open until 4.30 or 5 pm on weekdays”
Main branches are now 'open until 4.30 or 5 pm on weekdays', and 4.30 is the closing time recorded.
