What this part tests
This part is tested with Note Completion (Q1–10). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
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.
“Hardie.”
The surname is given simply as 'Hardie', so it must be written with a capital H and that spelling.
“It’s 19, White Stone Road.”
The address begins 'It's 19, White Stone Road', so the house number is 19.
“It’s actually G-T-8, 2-L-C.”
The postcode is spelled out 'G-T-8, 2-L-C', so GT8 2LC is the exact form required.
“I’ve actually just finished my training. I’m a hairdresser.”
She has 'just finished my training' and is 'a hairdresser', so hairdresser is her occupation.
“Actually it’s not for shopping today, which would be my normal reason, but to see the dentist.”
Her trip is not for shopping 'but to see the dentist', so dentist is the reason for the journey.
“Well, something I’ve thought about for some time is that when I do walk and I’m doing a later shift, I think the lighting should be better.”
On a later shift she thinks 'the lighting should be better', so lighting is the improvement needed.
“And, I don’t think there are enough trains. That’s why I don’t use them – you have to wait so long.”
She says 'I don't think there are enough trains', which is why she does not use them.
“Yep. Well, I have thought about it and where I work there are no safe places to leave your bikes.”
At her workplace 'there are no safe places to leave your bikes', so safe describes the missing facilities.
“And also, I’d have to cycle uphill and on a hot day I’d arrive at work pretty sweaty so I think I’d need a shower somewhere at work.”
Cycling uphill leaves her sweaty, so 'I'd need a shower somewhere at work', meaning shower facilities.
“And I suppose the last thing is that I wouldn’t be all that confident about cycling on such busy roads. I think I’d like to see you offering training for that, you know.”
Lacking confidence on busy roads, she wants them 'offering training for that', so training is the support requested.
