Passage Reference: Yeah, we did that by walking round and dividing the area into different categories, such as residential, commercial and industrial, so we could record land use.

Common Mistake: Some students choose places of employment because work is mentioned later. But that comes much later and is only an idea they discussed, not what they actually recorded. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'record land use' = Diagram: 'land use'

Tips: For diagram questions, always follow the order of the recording. The first box matches the first activity they describe.

Key Vocabulary:

• land use = how land is used
• categories = types or groups

Question Focus: The diagram moves on to what kind of pollution measurement they set up at road junctions.

Correct Answer: A

Passage Reference: so we set up equipment to check the air quality on each of those three times on one day.

Why this is correct: Here the diagram is asking what they checked using equipment at the junctions. The speaker clearly says they set up equipment to check the air quality. So this label fits perfectly.

Common Mistake: A common wrong choice is traffic flow because traffic is discussed in the same section. But traffic flow was calculated later and is a different activity. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'check the air quality' = Diagram: 'air quality'

Tips: Listen for verbs like 'check', 'measure', or 'record'. They usually point directly to a diagram label.

Key Vocabulary:

• polluted = dirty air
• equipment = machines or tools

Question Focus: The diagram shows another measurement taken at busy junctions, focusing on cars entering the city.

Correct Answer: I

Passage Reference: On the same day, we went to the two busiest junctions in the morning and evening to calculate the traffic flow into the city.

Why this is correct: The diagram box refers to counting cars at junctions. You hear that they went to the busiest junctions to calculate the traffic flow into the city. That matches this label exactly.

Common Mistake: Some students pick journey times because times of day are mentioned. But they are not measuring how long journeys take, only how many cars pass. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'calculate the traffic flow' = Diagram: 'traffic flow'

Tips: Do not guess based on general topic words like 'traffic'. Always listen for what is actually being measured.

Key Vocabulary:

• traffic flow = number of vehicles moving
• junctions = road crossings

Question Focus: The diagram now asks what they examined instead of asking people why they came into the city.

Correct Answer: F

Passage Reference: So we decided to spend an afternoon examining the parking facilities available instead. We established the capacity of each car park and we spent an afternoon counting cars in and out, so we have an idea of how long people spend in the city centre.

Why this is correct: The diagram shows a change in plan. The speaker explains they decided to spend time examining the parking facilities and counting cars. That is exactly what this box refers to.

Common Mistake: A tempting wrong answer is leisure facilities because leisure is mentioned just before. But they never examine leisure places, they only talk about parking. This is a distractor trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'examining the parking facilities' = Diagram: 'parking facilities'

Tips: When the speaker says 'so we decided to...', pay attention. It often signals the correct answer after a rejected idea.

Key Vocabulary:

• capacity = maximum number
• car park = parking area

Question Focus: The diagram focuses on how they checked whether people walk in the city centre.

Correct Answer: G

Passage Reference: So we chose a number of locations and we noted how many pedestrians passed a particular spot.

Why this is correct: This part of the diagram is about counting people on foot. The speaker says they noted how many pedestrians passed certain places. That clearly matches the label.

Common Mistake: Some students choose means of transport because transport is discussed nearby. But here they are only counting walkers, not asking how people travelled. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'how many pedestrians passed' = Diagram: 'number of pedestrians'

Tips: If the diagram uses 'number of...', listen carefully for counting words like 'how many'.

Key Vocabulary:

• pedestrians = people walking
• locations = places

Question Focus: The final diagram box asks what they asked people about in their survey.

Correct Answer: E

Passage Reference: so we carried out a survey on how people usually travelled into the city. We asked them about their usual means of transport.

Why this is correct: At the end, the diagram refers to the survey questions. You hear they asked people about their usual means of transport into the city. That directly answers this box.

Common Mistake: A common wrong answer is journey times because people want to get there quickly. But speed is only an explanation, not what they asked in the survey. This is a paraphrase trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'usual means of transport' = Diagram: 'means of transport'

Tips: Survey questions are often very specific. Listen for phrases like 'we asked them about...'.

Key Vocabulary:

• survey = questionnaire
• varied = was different

General Tips:

• Diagram questions follow the order of the recording. Use each answer to predict where the next one will appear.
• Read the diagram labels carefully before listening so you know what type of information to expect.
• Listen for signpost phrases like 'so we decided' or 'on the same day'. These often introduce new stages.
• Do not choose an option just because you hear the word. Check that it matches the exact task in the diagram.
• Cross out options as you use them. This helps reduce confusion later in the recording.
