Question Focus: Location description next to the main building
Why this is correct: The answer is Students' Union because the speaker clearly says it is next to the main building. On the map, the building beside the main building is labelled B, so this is the correct match.
Passage Reference: All the lectures of the courses will be held here. The Students' Union is next to the main building. You will have to register in that building.
Common Mistake: Some students choose the tall building near the parking place because it is described in detail. This is a Context shift trap because that description is actually for the bookstore, not the Students' Union.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'next to the main building' = Statement: 'Students' Union location'
Tips: When you hear "next to", immediately look for the closest building on the diagram.
Key Vocabulary:
- register = sign up
- next to = beside
Question Focus: Building opposite the Students' Union near the parking place
Passage Reference: Opposite the Students' Union, next to the parking place, you will see a tall building. That is our bookstore, where students buy the course books and some second-hand books.
Why this is correct: The answer is Bookstore because the speaker explains it is opposite the Students' Union and next to the parking place. On the map, that position matches label C.
Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose the modern building nearby. This is a Distractor trap because the modern building is actually the NELP Library, mentioned later.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'buy the course books' = Statement: 'Bookstore'
Tips: Listen for direction words like opposite, next to, and between. They are key for map questions.
Key Vocabulary:
- opposite = across from
- second-hand = used
Question Focus: Modern building adjacent to the bookstore
Passage Reference: NELP Library is located in a modern building adjacent to the bookstore. You will get your library card after your registration with your student ID card.
Why this is correct: The answer is NELP Library because the speaker says it is adjacent to the bookstore. On the diagram, the building next to the bookstore is labelled E.
Common Mistake: Some students pick the main building because libraries are often central. This is a Paraphrase trap because the speaker gives a very specific location near the bookstore.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'adjacent to the bookstore' = Statement: 'NELP Library location'
Tips: Do not guess based on logic. Always follow the exact location the speaker gives.
Key Vocabulary:
- adjacent = next to
- located = placed
Question Focus: Position between parking place and swimming pool
Passage Reference: The Sports Centre is located there. The gym is between the parking place and the swimming pool.
Why this is correct: The answer is Gym because the speaker clearly states it is between the parking place and the swimming pool. On the map, this middle position is label A.
Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose the recreation centre next to it. This is a Partial truth trap because it is nearby but not in the exact between position.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'between the parking place and the swimming pool' = Statement: 'Gym location'
Tips: For "between" questions, always check both sides on the diagram.
Key Vocabulary:
- between = in the middle of
- located = found
Question Focus: Courts next to the swimming pool
Passage Reference: There are three tennis courts next to the swimming pool.
Why this is correct: The answer is Tennis Court because the speaker says there are three tennis courts next to the swimming pool. On the map, the courts beside the pool are marked D.
Common Mistake: Some students choose the Sports Centre area in general. This is a Context shift trap because the courts are a separate feature next to the pool, not the whole centre.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'three tennis courts' = Statement: 'Tennis Court'
Tips: Plural words like "three" help you find repeated shapes or grouped items on the map.
Key Vocabulary:
- courts = sports fields
- next to = beside
General Tips:
- In map and diagram questions, follow the speaker step by step and move your eyes on the diagram while listening.
- Listen carefully for direction phrases like next to, opposite, between, and adjacent.
- Questions usually follow the order of the recording, so use the last answer to predict where the next one will be.
- Do not guess based on what feels logical. Always match the exact words you hear to the diagram.
- You hear the recording only once, so stay focused and do not panic if you miss one word.
