What this part tests
This part is tested with Form Completion (Q21–30). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 21–30: 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.
“Well, let’s just do it in pencil first. So, name of designers JOHN BROWN: Well, Ann helped me with some of the electronics work. MARY COLLINS: Then you must put her name in as well. Right Ann Ray. JOHN BROWN: Sorry. It’s ANNE and her surname is spelt R-E-A”
The designer's name is Anne Rea; John corrects Mary with 'ANNE' and spells the surname 'R-E-A'.
“And age is easy. You’re both 16”
John says 'You're both 16', so the age box takes 16 years old for both designers.
“JOHN BROWN: What about jigsaw puzzle design for visually handicapped?MARY COLLINS: Too long. Just say blind puzzle, that’ll do.JOHN BROWN: OK”
Mary says 'just say blind puzzle', trimming the longer jigsaw description into a short product name.
“JOHN BROWN: I’ve got it noted down here . um, yes, length, sorry, width is 20 cm.MARY COLLINS: OK.JOHN BROWN: Length is 50 cm, and then the depth is well, it’s very little.MARY COLLINS: What would you say? I think you can be approximate.JOHN BROWN: I’d say 2.5 cm”
Width is 20 cm and length 50 cm, while the approximate depth is '2.5 cm', the measurement missing.
“JOHN BROWN: Well, it’s safe for children.MARY COLLINS: That’s fine. Put that in”
John's first point is 'it's safe for children', accepted with 'put that in', so safety is the selling point.
“OK, and of course we think it’s educational”
The next advantage is that 'we think it's educational', a single adjective for the form's selling-point line.
“JOHN BROWN: Well, I think the price is good. MARY COLLINS: That’s probably the most important factor. JOHN BROWN: OK cheap price”
He says 'the price is good' and repeats 'cheap price', so low cost is the third selling point.
“MARY COLLINS: And the electrics?JOHN BROWN: They were more expensive say, $9.50”
Mary asks about 'the electrics', which cost more at 'say, $9.50', the component price.
“Well, we would really like help with making plastic instead of wooden pieces. MARY COLLINS: Well, put something like, need help to make plastic pieces”
They need help 'making plastic instead of wooden pieces', recorded as plastic pieces, a plural noun phrase.
“Well, the last date is 1 July. Why not say that?JOHN BROWN: OK, that’s what I’ll put”
The final deadline for the form is '1 July', the last date mentioned in the conversation.
