It may sound stupid but you really need to read them carefully. Why Because they will tell you exactly what to do with the information how many words you can use to answer is there a table you must fill is there a list to chose words from how many items you must name etc. And if the answer must be in 3 words - write EXACTLY 3 WORDS because writing four or two words will get you 0 score. To make my point crystal clear let s take the following scenario for example The speaker on a tape says Well if you are dieting try to avoid fruits with lots of fructose like watermelon mango peaches or grapes. The question in the booklet is Name 2 fruits a person on a diet should not eat . The answer may be watermelon mango or mango peaches or any combination of two items but never three or four Anyone who writes just in case -watermelon mango peaches grapes - receives 0 score for that question. Note when counting words - a or the counts as a word. Divide and concur The recording divides questions into groups so every time you are instructed to answer a group of 4-5 questions. There are 20-30 seconds of silence before each group. First thing you should do when the tape starts playing is understand which group of questions you need to answer. For example the tape says Look at questions one to four . It means that you have about 20 seconds to look at those questions. Go over questions read them and underline keywords. Keywords are words that contain the main idea of the question. They will help you guess what you will hear - numbers opening hours names locations etc. Draw a line under question four so you won t look further before it s time. Then you will hear a piece of passage and answer the questions one to four as you listen. It means that you should be able to write one answer and listen to another.
