What this part tests

Questions 21–30: Table Completion
Strategy: Work row by row. The row label tells you where to look; the column heading tells you what kind of word you need.
“I also enjoyed visiting one of the British students we filmed. I'd never been inside a British home before”
Ibrahim enjoyed 'visiting one of the British students' and had 'never been inside a British home before', so home fills the gap.
“TUTOR: Yes, good. Do you think you'll maintain the contact now?IBRAHIM: I hope so. I've invited three of them to have dinner with me next week”
He has 'invited three of them to have dinner with me next week', so the plan is to have dinner.
“CRISTINA: I think, when we were being shown how to edit the film, we had to follow the instructions. And that was very good practice for me. And I also learned some technical words that I hadn't heard before”
Editing practice taught Cristina 'some technical words that I hadn't heard before', so technical describes the vocabulary.
“IBRAHIM: It was listening to the British students, because they don't speak as slowly as most of the tutors on our course. I think they speak at natural speed, so it forces me to get used to it. And they use a lot of slang”
British students speak at natural speed and 'use a lot of slang', the feature Ibrahim found demanding.
“I've never done anything with a group before, and we had to find ways of cooperating, erm, and compromising, and sometimes persuading people, when they don't agree with you”
Group work meant finding 'ways of cooperating, erm, and compromising', so cooperating is the first skill named.
“I've never done anything with a group before, and we had to find ways of cooperating, erm, and compromising, and sometimes persuading people, when they don't agree with you”
They also needed practice at 'persuading people, when they don't agree with you', so persuading fills the second gap.
“IBRAHIM: Well, I think I learnt a lot about how important editing is”
Ibrahim says he 'learnt a lot about how important editing is', so editing is the key lesson.
“For example, we didn't decide on dates when we'd complete each separate stage of the project, and we should have agreed about that in the beginning, because we were always late with everything”
They failed to fix dates to 'complete each separate stage of the project', which is why 'we were always late'.
“CRISTINA: I think we should have tried to experiment more with the camera. I mean with angles, and the focus and that kind of thing”
Cristina wishes they had 'tried to experiment more with the camera', using different angles and focus.
“We were inexperienced, and we didn't have a lot of time, and we tried to do too much, to make a long film. Next time I would make a shorter one and try to get the quality better”
They tried 'to make a long film'; next time he would make a shorter one and improve the quality.
