How to Solve the Task?
Follow these steps:
-
Read the sentences first. Identify the keyword i.e. what the sentence is about.
e.g. keyword in sentence 1 – very good rates
-
Play the recording and listen carefully for the keywords.
-
Identify the missing words from the sentence, in the recording.
-
Write down the words on the question paper/rough sheet. Ensure that there is no contradictory point later in the recording.
-
Fill in the answer.
Tips and Techniques
-
Pay close attention while listening. The recording is only played once.
-
Don’t get distracted by the extra information given in the recording. Just focus on the keywords.
-
Listen for plural, such as an ‘s’ sound at the end of the word. If you write it wrong i.e. singular instead of plural, you lose the point.
-
Improve your spellings! Wrong spelling can lose you the point.
