Question Focus: The diagram shows a building next to the supermarket on West Street. We need to label what that building is.
Correct Answer: G
Why this is correct: Look at the diagram position next to the supermarket. The speaker clearly says old town hall is next to the supermarket. So this place on the map must be the town hall.
Passage Reference: Next to it, there's the old town hall. I say the old town hall because it is about 100 years old.
Common Mistake: Some students choose car park because the speaker mentions it soon after. But the speaker says the town hall will soon make way for a car park, meaning the car park is future, not what is there now. This is a sequence trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'old town hall' = Diagram: 'town hall'
Tips: Listen carefully to whether a place exists now or is only planned for the future.
Key Vocabulary:
- old = not new
- make way for = be replaced by
Question Focus: The diagram shows a building near the High Street on the other side of London Road. We need its name.
Correct Answer: D
Passage Reference: There are two buildings there. The one further away from the High Street is called the Heights, and the one near the High Street is called the Towers.
Why this is correct: The speaker explains there are two buildings opposite the supermarket. The one near the High Street is called the Towers. That matches this position on the diagram.
Common Mistake: Many students choose The Heights because it is mentioned first. But The Heights is further away from the High Street. Choosing it here is a sequence trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'near the High Street' = Diagram: 'building closest to High Street'
Tips: When two places are compared, listen for direction words like near and further away.
Key Vocabulary:
- near = close to
- further away = more distant
Question Focus: The diagram shows the main road you see when entering the town. We need its name.
Correct Answer: A
Passage Reference: the main road in front of you is, surprisingly enough, the High Street.
Why this is correct: The diagram shows the main road at the entrance to Newbridge. The speaker says the main road in front of you is the High Street, so the label is High Street.
Common Mistake: Some students choose West Street because it is also important. But West Street branches off to the left, so it is not the main road. This is a context shift trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'main road' = Diagram: 'main street entering town'
Tips: Match road names carefully with direction words like in front of you or to the left.
Key Vocabulary:
- main = most important
- branching off = going in another direction
Question Focus: The diagram shows a place opposite the supermarket. We need to identify it.
Correct Answer: F
Passage Reference: Now, opposite the supermarket is the railway station. You can get very frequent buses and trains from here into the university.
Why this is correct: This diagram position is directly across from the supermarket. The speaker clearly says opposite the supermarket is the railway station, so the answer is railway station.
Common Mistake: Students often choose bus station because buses are mentioned. But the speaker says you can get buses and trains from the railway station, not from a bus station. This is a distractor trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'buses and trains from here' = Diagram: 'railway station'
Tips: Do not add places that are not named. Only label what the speaker clearly identifies.
Key Vocabulary:
- opposite = across from
- frequent = often
General Tips:
- Diagram labels follow the order of the recording, so stay focused and move step by step.
- Listen carefully to location words like next to, opposite, near, and further away.
- If the speaker mentions a future change, it is usually a trap for the current map.
- When two places sound similar, wait for the full description before choosing.
- You hear the recording only once, so stay calm and keep your eyes on the diagram.
