The instructions will tell you exactly how many words and/or numbers may be the maximum used. This doesn’t mean you need to write that many, but that you mustn’t write more than that. The questions are in the same order as the information in the audio recording. If you miss one question, leave it. You must keep going – keep listening, and do the next questions. At the end, there will be time for you to re-consider the gap, and perhaps to remember what you could write there. The words and numbers you write have to be exactly what you hear – don’t try to write different words with a similar meaning. In the example task in these practice materials, you can see that the notes are quite short, and that articles – a, an, the – are not used. For example, the notes say ‘in rent’, not ‘in the rent’ or ‘in your rent’. This means that in this case you don’t need to worry about using articles yourself. When you have practised listening to the recording, look at the audioscript and focus on the key words (underlined) for each answer to this task. Make sure you understand why the answer is correct. Living in Easthill Questions 1-5: Complete the notes below. Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer. Cheapest accommodation is in 1___________ flat.

Although Fiona talks about visiting local estate agents, this isn’t a current option as the man doesn’t live in Easthill currently. That’s why she suggests that he ‘go onto new home – as one word – dot com’. The preposition in ‘look on’ fits with this website address.

Make sure what you write is exactly the same as what you hear – do not change words. Remember that what you write must fit grammatically into the gap. Check very carefully that the information you write is correct for that part of the table. For each gap, there will probably be more than one answer which could seem correct, so don’t simply write in the first thing that appears at all correct. You will hear information in the order of the questions, but paraphrases will probably be used for the words around the gaps. When you have practised listening to the recording, look at the audioscript and focus on the key words (underlined) for each answer to this task. Make sure you understand why the answer is correct. Questions 6-10. Complete the table below by typing on the line and pressing return. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer. Blooms Leisure Club Good Life Centre Café 7___________members get 10% discount Closed at present 7___________members get 10% discount Answer: GOLD CARD You need to write something here which can describe ‘members’ in some way – a kind of member? A number of members? You need to ensure what you write refers to Blooms Leisure Club. Fiona says that ‘you can elect to be a gold card member’ – which would fit in the gap. Then she says that if you were a gold card member, ‘you’d be entitled to a discount of ten percent in the café...’ – which confirms the information you need to know.

The information must be about the Good Life Centre. Don’t be diverted by ‘sequenced’ into trying to write something like ‘sequences’. You should understand that the word ‘follow’ that you hear has the same meaning as ‘doing’ in the table, which means that you write ‘special routines’.

The description needs to be of the pool at Blooms. The possible words you hear are: ‘chilly’ (but that’s what it was, not is); ‘outdoor’ (which it still is, of course); ‘improved’ (but that’s the situation about swimming, not really the pool itself); ‘indoors’ (but that’s an adverb, not adjective, and in any case the pool is still an outdoor one); and ‘heated’ – ‘making it a heated one’ – which is the correct answer.

He became close to people and his actions helped. B is not the answer: although it seems he rejected the idea of ‘flying out on a bargain flight’, we don’t know how much his travel costs were.

B is not the answer: the local people will ‘look at you with interest’, not after you. C is not the answer, although the word ‘transported’ is used in the programme. A. learning about local customs.

Q16: The speaker recommends getting a business to sponsor your ‘voluntourism’ trip B = Correct: The idea that ‘local people will take you more seriously’ if you are sponsored by a business matches the idea in the programme that they ‘may well see you as more important in this way than if you just turn up on your own account’. A is not the answer, because you use the money you save to stay longer, rather than giving it away. C is not the answer, although there is a general reference to the fact that ‘businesses may be interested in the area you want to visit’.

A = Correct: The idea that travellers ‘go back to the places they visit’ matches ‘they are much more likely to return for further visits’ in the programme. The verb ‘combine’ relates to the noun ‘mixture’. B is not the answer: there are references to places, but we don’t whether they would have gone there anyway or not.

A is not the answer: it is the trend that is short, not the trips themselves.
