Drag the right options on the map.

Label the map.

You will hear a conversation between three friends discussing where to park bicycles at a train station. Now listen carefully and answer the questions. Look, there's Lisa. Hi, Lisa. What are you doing today? I'm going to ride my bike to Jones Street Station and catch a train to visit my auntie. That sounds like fun. Yes, but I was wondering, do you know if there's a safe place at the station for me to leave my bike? Jones Street Station. I haven't been there in a while, but I think there's a fairly large bike parking area. Really? I have a plan of the station here. Can you show me where I should put my bike? Well, there's a big outside parking area to the left of the station entrance. Wait, did you know that they've just upgraded that station? There are new bike racks all under cover. Wow, that's great news. Much better than just parking a bike outside. Uh, wait, can I just make sure that's a bike park with a roof to the left of the station door? Yes, and they have video surveillance now, so someone is watching the bikes all the time. But if you want to be really security conscious, they have bike lockers now too. So you can store your bike in a locker, just like a baggage locker. That sounds perfect, just what I wanted. Where are they? Aren't they over by the platform? I mean opposite the station entrance, where the ticket office used to be. No, that's the information desk now. The ticket office is gone. Wait a minute. Did you just say there's no ticket office? How am I going to buy my train ticket? Don't worry. There are ticket machines just inside the entrance to your right. Okay, so where are the bike lockers? They're easy to find. Just on your right, just before you go into the main entrance. Cool. What about baggage lockers? Where are they then? They're behind the ticket machines. It's quite hard to get to them. I mean, you can't see the door from the station entrance. You have to go through the cafe to find them. Is the cafe in the corner? I mean, is it in the far right corner of the station? Yes, it's by the platform. So what I meant was, go through the cafe and you'll find the baggage lockers. Oh, great. Thank you both. I'd better go now or I'll miss my train.

Question Focus: The diagram shows a bike parking area to the left of the station entrance. We need to label what type of bike parking it is.

Correct Answer: F

Why this is correct: The diagram points to bike parking on the left of the entrance. You hear the speaker correct the old idea and say there are new bike racks all under cover, so the answer is covered bike parking.

Passage Reference: there's a big outside parking area to the left of the station entrance. Wait, did you know that they've just upgraded that station? There are new bike racks all under cover.

Common Mistake: Some students choose open-air bike parking because the speaker first mentions outside parking. But then he corrects this. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'all under cover' = Diagram: 'covered'

Tips: Listen carefully when a speaker corrects themselves. The final version is usually the answer.

Key Vocabulary:

  • under cover = with a roof
  • upgrade = improve

Question Focus: The diagram shows a place opposite the station entrance where the ticket office used to be.

Correct Answer: B

Passage Reference: Aren't they over by the platform? I mean opposite the station entrance, where the ticket office used to be. No, that's the information desk now.

Why this is correct: The diagram label refers to the area opposite the entrance. You hear that this place is the information desk now, so that is the correct label.

Common Mistake: Many students choose ticket office because it is mentioned. But the speaker says it is gone. This is a distractor trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'information desk now' = Diagram: 'information desk'

Tips: Do not choose something just because you hear the word. Check if it still exists.

Key Vocabulary:

  • opposite = across from
  • used to be = in the past

Question Focus: The diagram shows a place near the platform in the far right corner.

Correct Answer: A

Passage Reference: Is the cafe in the corner? I mean, is it in the far right corner of the station? Yes, it's by the platform.

Why this is correct: The speaker confirms the cafe is in the far right corner and by the platform, which matches the diagram location. So the answer is cafe.

Common Mistake: Some students choose tourist information because it sounds similar to information desk. But this place is clearly a cafe. This is a paraphrase trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'by the platform' = Diagram: 'near the platform'

Tips: Use location words like right, left, corner, and platform to match the diagram.

Key Vocabulary:

  • platform = train area
  • corner = edge

Question Focus: The diagram label is just inside the entrance on the right.

Correct Answer: H

Passage Reference: There are ticket machines just inside the entrance to your right.

Why this is correct: The diagram shows something just inside the entrance on the right. You hear there are ticket machines just inside the entrance to your right, so this matches exactly.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose ticket office, but the speaker clearly says it no longer exists. This is a negation trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'just inside the entrance' = Diagram: 'inside entrance'

Tips: Pay attention to exact position phrases like just inside and to your right.

Key Vocabulary:

  • entrance = door
  • machines = automated devices

Question Focus: The diagram shows lockers behind the ticket machines and hard to see.

Correct Answer: C

Passage Reference: They're behind the ticket machines. It's quite hard to get to them. I mean, you can't see the door from the station entrance. You have to go through the cafe to find them.

Why this is correct: The diagram location matches what you hear. Baggage lockers are behind the ticket machines and you must go through the cafe to reach them.

Common Mistake: Some students pick bike lockers because lockers are discussed earlier. But these lockers are for baggage. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'behind the ticket machines' = Diagram: 'behind machines'

Tips: Notice what the lockers are for. Bike and baggage lockers are different.

Key Vocabulary:

  • baggage = bags
  • behind = at the back

Question Focus: The diagram shows a secure bike storage area just before the main entrance on the right.

Correct Answer: E

Passage Reference: Just on your right, just before you go into the main entrance.

Why this is correct: The speaker explains the location very clearly. Bike lockers are on your right, just before the main entrance, which matches the diagram.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose covered bike parking because it is also for bikes. But lockers are a different, more secure place. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'store your bike in a locker' = Diagram: 'bike lockers'

Tips: When two options are similar, listen for extra details like security or exact position.

Key Vocabulary:

  • locker = secure box
  • store = keep

General Tips:

  • Diagram questions follow the order of the recording. Use the previous answer to know when the next one is coming.
  • Listen for corrections like wait or no. The correct answer often comes after that.
  • Focus on location words like left, right, opposite, behind, and inside.
  • Do not choose an answer just because you hear the word once. Check if it is confirmed or corrected.
  • Cross out options as you use them so you do not reuse the same word.
