Passage Reference: Maybe you could think up the main questions, you know, a first version of the whole thing, and then I could read it through. And make suggestions? Well, OK.

Common Mistake: Some students choose Martin only because he will write the first version. This is a partial truth trap because the task also includes reviewing and improving it together.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'think up the main questions' + 'read it through' = Statement: 'compose questionnaire'

Tips: If two speakers share different stages of the same task, the answer is often both.

Key Vocabulary:

• compose = write
• read it through = check and review

Question Focus: Learning together and doing the process jointly

Passage Reference: Actually, it's quite straightforward. You use tables of randomised numbers. Could you show me? Yeah, I'll take you through the process. That way you'll learn and I'll feel surer for having someone else there.

Why this is correct: One student explains the method, but says they will do it together so both are involved. This shows the selection of interview subjects is a joint task.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose Martin because he knows the method. This is a wrong speaker trap because Kate is also part of the process.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'take you through the process' = Statement: 'select people to interview'

Tips: Listen for phrases like together or someone else there - they signal shared tasks.

Key Vocabulary:

• select = choose
• process = method

Question Focus: One speaker agrees to handle the face-to-face stage

Passage Reference: So if you agree to handle the transcribing afterwards, I'm prepared to do the face-to-face stage. Does that sound fair?

Why this is correct: Kate agrees to do the face-to-face stage, which means actually conducting the interviews. Martin will do the typing afterwards, not the interviews themselves.

Common Mistake: Some students choose both Martin and Kate because interviews are discussed by both. This is a context shift trap - only one person does the interviewing.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'face-to-face stage' = Statement: 'conduct interviews'

Tips: Focus on who finally agrees to do the task after negotiation.

Key Vocabulary:

• conduct = carry out
• face-to-face = in person

Question Focus: Joint decision after expressing uncertainty

Passage Reference: Same here. But we can get advice from the lecturers about that. Shall we do all that as a joint effort? I think it'd make us feel more secure about what we were doing.

Why this is correct: Both students say they feel unsure and then agree to do the statistics as a joint effort. This clearly shows shared responsibility.

Common Mistake: Some students choose Kate because she mentions statistics first. This is a sequence trap - the final decision is what matters.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'joint effort' = Statement: 'analyse statistics'

Tips: The correct answer often comes after words like 'shall we' or 'I think'.

Key Vocabulary:

• analyse = examine
• joint effort = done together

Question Focus: One speaker volunteers because they enjoy the task

Passage Reference: But would you mind getting the slides and so on ready? I find that takes me ages and still doesn't look any good. Whereas I quite enjoy that kind of thing. OK.

Why this is correct: Martin agrees to prepare the slides because he enjoys doing that kind of work. Kate says she finds it slow and difficult.

Common Mistake: Some students choose both Martin and Kate because the presentation itself is shared. This is a partial truth trap - only the visuals are Martin's job.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'getting the slides ready' = Statement: 'prepare visuals for presentation'

Tips: Separate the presentation from preparing materials - they are not always done by the same person.

Key Vocabulary:

• slides = visuals
• prepare = get ready

General Tips:

• Matching Features questions often involve negotiation - listen until the speakers agree.
• Do not decide too early. The speaker may change their mind after a suggestion.
• If both speakers share different parts of one task, the answer is usually both.
• Listen for signpost words like 'so', 'shall we', or 'OK' - they often signal the final decision.
