Passage Reference: Some of the information can be presented as graphs or maps. I'm quite good at the software. You'd better do that then, Lauren.

Common Mistake: Students choose both Stefan and Lauren because Stefan says he will help. This is a Partial truth trap because helping check statistics is not the same as drawing graphs and maps.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'presented as graphs or maps' = Statement: 'draw graphs and maps'

Tips: Listen for the final decision, not who helps.

Key Vocabulary:

• presented = shown
• software = computer programs

Question Focus: Synonym match - 'choose photographs' = go through them together and collaborate

Passage Reference: We've got a lot of photographs which we can go through. We both took them, so some will be duplicated. it's going to take ages to go through them all. Maybe one of us should just choose some. Well, it's better if you collaborate. That way you'll end up with the best of what you've got. That's fine. We'll do that.

Why this is correct: They first think one person might choose photos, but the tutor says it is better if they collaborate. They agree, so both Stefan and Lauren will choose the photographs.

Common Mistake: Students choose Stefan or Lauren because they hear 'one of us'. This is a Sequence trap because the speaker changes the plan after that.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'collaborate' = Statement: 'choose photographs'

Tips: Be careful when the speaker changes their mind.

Key Vocabulary:

• collaborate = work together
• duplicated = the same

Question Focus: Clear responsibility - 'that should be my responsibility'

Passage Reference: And when the graphs and maps are done, you'll need to write a report, an analysis of the data. Will you do that together? I think that should be my responsibility, if we're going to share the work out evenly. I can use some of Lauren's notes as well as my own. Okay.

Why this is correct: Stefan clearly says that should be my responsibility when talking about writing the report. Using Lauren's notes does not change who is responsible.

Common Mistake: Students choose both Stefan and Lauren because Lauren's notes are mentioned. This is a Partial truth trap because only Stefan is responsible.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'write a report, an analysis of the data' = Statement: 'write report'

Tips: Responsibility words like 'my responsibility' are strong clues.

Key Vocabulary:

• responsibility = job
• analysis = detailed study

Question Focus: Sequence trap - initial plan changes to shared presentation

Passage Reference: We thought it'd be better for Stefan to do that, as he's got more experience at that kind of thing. I would prefer to have input from both of you, as I have to do an assessment. We'll take turns then. We'll divide it into sections and talk about a few things each. Good.

Why this is correct: At first they suggest Stefan presents because of his experience. Then the tutor asks for both, and they decide to take turns, so both Stefan and Lauren will present.

Common Mistake: Students choose Stefan because he is mentioned first. This is a Sequence trap because the final decision is different.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'take turns' = Statement: 'do presentation'

Tips: Always listen until the final agreement.

Key Vocabulary:

• assessment = grading
• take turns = share

General Tips:

• In Matching Features, listen for decisions and responsibility words like 'you'd better', 'my responsibility', or 'we'll do that'.
• The speaker may suggest one idea and then change it. The final decision is the answer.
• Options can repeat. Both people can be responsible more than once.
• Questions follow the order of the recording, so use the last answer to predict what comes next.
• Listen for signpost words like 'finally' to know a new task is starting.
