Tips: Listen for the specific day associated with each person or event. The speaker will mention the day clearly.

Key Vocabulary:

Question Focus: What happens on Friday 22nd?

Correct Answer: A

Passage Reference: the garbage, which is collected on Friday. Just write garbage on the calendar on the days they take it away. Put it out on Friday every week. That'll be Friday 22nd, Friday 29th and Friday 5th.

Why this is correct: The speaker says garbage is collected on Friday and lists the dates: 'Friday 22nd, Friday 29th and Friday 5th.' Position 2 is Friday 22nd - the first garbage collection day.

Common Mistake: There are multiple 'garbage' options (A, D, I) because garbage is collected on three different Fridays. Position 2 uses option A for the first Friday.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'garbage...collected on Friday...Friday 22nd' = Calendar: 'garbage' on Friday 22nd

Tips: When the speaker lists multiple dates for the same event, number them in order. The first date mentioned matches the earliest calendar position.

Key Vocabulary:

• collected
• put it out
• every week

Question Focus: What needs attention on Monday 25th?

Correct Answer: C

Passage Reference: The stove needs to be checked on Monday the 25th.

Why this is correct: The speaker mentions that someone is coming to look at the stove on Monday the 25th. Position 3 on the calendar is Monday 25th, so you write 'stove' for this date.

Common Mistake: Students might confuse 'stove' with other household items mentioned. Listen for which item is specifically linked to this date.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'the stove...Monday the 25th' = Calendar: 'stove' on Monday 25th

Tips: When the speaker mentions a household appliance with a specific date, note both the item and the date together.

Key Vocabulary:

• stove
• Monday
• repair
• service

Question Focus: What happens on Friday 29th?

Correct Answer: I

Passage Reference: the garbage, which is collected on Friday. Just write garbage on the calendar on the days they take it away. Put it out on Friday every week. That'll be Friday 22nd, Friday 29th and Friday 5th.

Why this is correct: The speaker lists garbage collection on 'Friday 22nd, Friday 29th and Friday 5th.' Position 4 is Friday 29th - the second garbage collection day.

Common Mistake: Students may wonder why there are multiple 'garbage' options. This is because the same event (garbage collection) happens on multiple Fridays, so it appears in several calendar positions.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'garbage...Friday 29th' = Calendar: 'garbage' on Friday 29th

Tips: When the instructions say 'some words may be used more than once', expect repeated answers. Garbage appears three times because it is a weekly event.

Key Vocabulary:

• every week
• collected
• bin

Question Focus: What needs to be dealt with on Sunday 31st?

Correct Answer: E

Passage Reference: The electricity needs to be sorted on the last day of the month, which is Sunday the 31st.

Why this is correct: The speaker mentions that someone needs to deal with the electricity on the last day of the month, which is Sunday the 31st. Position 5 is Sunday 31st.

Common Mistake: Students might pick 'filters' because appliances are mentioned. But listen carefully - the speaker specifically says 'electricity' for this date, perhaps referring to a meter reading or payment.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'electricity...Sunday the 31st' = Calendar: 'electricity' on Sunday 31st

Tips: The speaker gives the day in two ways: 'last day of the month' and 'Sunday the 31st'. This double confirmation helps you be certain about the date.

Key Vocabulary:

• electricity
• meter
• last day of the month

Question Focus: What happens on Friday 5th?

Correct Answer: D

Passage Reference: the garbage, which is collected on Friday. Just write garbage on the calendar on the days they take it away. Put it out on Friday every week. That'll be Friday 22nd, Friday 29th and Friday 5th.

Why this is correct: The speaker lists garbage collection on 'Friday 22nd, Friday 29th and Friday 5th.' Position 6 is Friday 5th - the third and final garbage collection day during the house-sitting period.

Common Mistake: Some students miss that Friday 5th is in the next month. The speaker lists all three Fridays together at the start, so you need to note all of them at once.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'garbage...Friday 5th' = Calendar: 'garbage' on Friday 5th

Tips: Always note ALL dates when a speaker lists them. Even if a date is in the following month, it still belongs on the calendar if the house-sitting period covers it.

Key Vocabulary:

• collected
• put it out
• Friday every week

General Tips:

• In calendar completion tasks, write down every date the speaker mentions immediately. Dates are often listed in groups.
• When instructions say 'some words may be used more than once', expect the same answer to appear in multiple positions. Do not assume each option is used only once.
• Listen for the specific day name AND date number together for confirmation. Speakers often give both ('Monday the 25th') to help you place events correctly.
• Distractor options (like 'cleaner', 'stove', 'electricity') are mentioned in the recording but are NOT calendar events. Listen for whether something actually needs to be done on a specific date.
• The order of information in the recording usually matches the chronological order of the calendar, but not always. Be ready to jump back or forward on the calendar.
