Choose SEVEN answers from the options and drag them.

Label the plan of the rock festival site below.

You will hear a talk given at a planning meeting about the layout and facilities of a rock festival site. Now listen carefully and answer the questions. Good evening everyone. I'm glad you could all make this planning meeting for what promises to be the biggest and most colorful free rock festival ever held in the southeast. So whether you're a performer, a craft exhibitor or an artist, we all extend a big welcome to you. Could we turn first to the plan so I can familiarise you with the layout of the site, which as you know is an old football stadium. We're really lucky to have so much space this year. You can see the main gate at the bottom of the plan. Have you found it? That's where most visitors will enter. It's also the entrance for those taking part in the craft fair. We've set the stalls just inside the gate on the left in a circle. If you walk straight ahead from the gate along the path without turning right, you'll come to some steps up to the football stadium. On the left of the steps is the fringe stage. This is for alternative artistes. They include folk singers, poets and other acts which are more suited to a smaller stage. And they should also enter by the main gate. On the opposite side of the steps is a restaurant and adjoining that is the main festival information point. Here you can get extra programmes and up-to-the-minute information about events and you can discuss any last minute problems, although we hope everything will be running smoothly when the festival opens. Right, coming back to the plan, you go up the stairs to the stadium. The entrance for the rock bands is on the far side, and on your right is the main stage, which will have powerful illumination and amplification throughout the weekend. There will probably be TV vehicles adjacent, that's in this area only, for recording purposes. If you look at the outside of the plan, you can see a third gate for exhibitors opening onto a side path. A little way down the path, before you get to the trees, is the building where the art exhibition's being housed. Then, finally, there's just one more building marked on your plan, quite near the main gate. It's divided into lock-up garages, so I hope you now feel quite familiar with the main festival area.

AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.

Question Focus: The diagram label is just inside the main gate on the left.

Correct Answer: D

Why this is correct: The diagram shows stalls immediately after the main gate. The speaker explains that the craft fair stalls are just inside the gate on the left, so this label fits perfectly.

Passage Reference: It's also the entrance for those taking part in the craft fair. We've set the stalls just inside the gate on the left in a circle.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose exhibitors' entrance, but that is a different gate on a side path. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'stalls just inside the gate' = Diagram: 'craft fair area'

Tips: When you hear 'just inside the gate', look for labels closest to the entrance.

Key Vocabulary:

  • stalls = small shops
  • craft = handmade items

Question Focus: The diagram label is to the left of the steps going up to the stadium.

Correct Answer: F

Passage Reference: If you walk straight ahead from the gate along the path without turning right, you'll come to some steps up to the football stadium. On the left of the steps is the fringe stage. This is for alternative artistes. They include folk singers, poets and other acts which are more suited to a smaller stage.

Why this is correct: The diagram shows something positioned left of the steps. The speaker says on the left of the steps is the fringe stage, so the correct label is fringe stage.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose craft fair because stalls are mentioned earlier. But those are near the gate, not by the steps. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'on the left of the steps is the fringe stage' = Diagram: 'area left of the steps'

Tips: Follow the speaker's directions step by step and match left and right carefully.

Key Vocabulary:

  • fringe = alternative
  • acts = performances

Question Focus: The diagram label is opposite the fringe stage, on the other side of the steps.

Correct Answer: I

Passage Reference: On the opposite side of the steps is a restaurant and adjoining that is the main festival information point.

Why this is correct: The diagram position mirrors the fringe stage across the steps. The speaker says on the opposite side of the steps is a restaurant, so the answer is restaurant.

Common Mistake: Some students pick main stage because it sounds important. But the main stage is inside the stadium, not by the steps. This is a location confusion trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'is a restaurant' = Diagram: 'restaurant'

Tips: Words like 'opposite' are strong signals for diagram matching.

Key Vocabulary:

  • opposite = across from
  • adjoining = next to

Question Focus: The diagram label is at the far side of the stadium, asking where the rock bands enter.

Correct Answer: B

Passage Reference: Right, coming back to the plan, you go up the stairs to the stadium. The entrance for the rock bands is on the far side

Why this is correct: The diagram position is on the opposite side of the stadium from the main gate. The speaker clearly says the entrance for the rock bands is on the far side, so the answer is band entrance.

Common Mistake: Some students choose main stage because it is mentioned just after this. But that describes what is nearby, not the entrance itself. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'entrance for the rock bands' = Diagram: 'band entrance'

Tips: Listen carefully for location phrases like 'on the far side' when labeling entrances.

Key Vocabulary:

  • far side = opposite side
  • entrance = way in

Question Focus: The diagram label is a third gate on a side path outside the main area.

Correct Answer: E

Passage Reference: If you look at the outside of the plan, you can see a third gate for exhibitors opening onto a side path.

Why this is correct: The diagram shows a separate gate away from the main gate. The speaker clearly mentions a third gate for exhibitors opening onto a side path, so the answer is exhibitors' entrance.

Common Mistake: Some students choose band entrance, but that is on the far side of the stadium, not outside on a path. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'third gate for exhibitors' = Diagram: 'exhibitors' entrance'

Tips: Different groups often have different entrances. Listen for who the entrance is for.

Key Vocabulary:

  • exhibitors = people showing work
  • side path = smaller path

Question Focus: The diagram label is on a side path, before the trees.

Correct Answer: A

Passage Reference: A little way down the path, before you get to the trees, is the building where the art exhibition's being housed.

Why this is correct: The speaker describes a building before you get to the trees where the art exhibition is housed. This matches the diagram position exactly.

Common Mistake: Some students choose lock-up garages because it is also a building. But that building is near the main gate. This is a location trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'art exhibition's being housed' = Diagram: 'art exhibition'

Tips: Pay attention to landmarks like trees and paths to fix the exact spot.

Key Vocabulary:

  • housed = located
  • exhibition = show

Question Focus: The diagram label is near the main gate in a separate building.

Correct Answer: G

Passage Reference: there's just one more building marked on your plan, quite near the main gate. It's divided into lock-up garages

Why this is correct: The diagram shows a building close to the main gate. The speaker says this building is quite near the main gate and is divided into lock-up garages, so this is the correct answer.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes pick restaurant because it is also near the entrance. But the restaurant is by the steps, not right near the gate. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'divided into lock-up garages' = Diagram: 'lock-up garages'

Tips: Final buildings are often described at the end of the talk. Stay focused until the last sentence.

Key Vocabulary:

  • lock-up = secure
  • divided into = split into

General Tips:

  • Diagram positions follow the order of the recording, so label from the main gate and move step by step.
  • Listen carefully to direction words like left, right, opposite, and far side.
  • When the speaker lists places, do not answer too early. Wait until the full description is finished.
  • Use landmarks like gates, steps, trees, and paths to fix exact locations.
  • Cross out each used option mentally so you do not reuse it by mistake.
