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.
“MAN: Martyn Leigh. Martyn's with a Y. WOMAN: And is your family name spelt L-double-E? MAN: It's L-E-I-G-H”
The woman guesses 'L-double-E', but he spells it 'L-E-I-G-H' — Leigh, not Lee.

“WOMAN: And what about recent changes? What do you like and dislike about them? For example, there are a lot of new coffee shops now, are you enjoying them? MAN: No, there are too many of them. It's a shame as those places could be occupied by other kinds of shops”
Dislike: there are 'a lot of new coffee shops' and he thinks 'there are too many of them'.
“Well, I think we have enough clothing shops. But there's only one place that sells books at the moment. It'd be nice to have a choice, you know”

“But my favourite thing is the plants they've put around the building”
Favourite change: 'my favourite thing is the plants they've put around the building', so 'plants'.
