Passage Reference: The first man is said to be about six foot in height, slight build, dark hair and a small moustache.

Common Mistake: Some students write six feet tall. That changes the wording and adds an extra word. You must copy the exact words you hear. This is a synonym trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'about six foot in height' = Diagram: 'height'

Tips: Listen carefully for numbers and measurements when police descriptions are given.

Key Vocabulary:

• height = how tall someone is

Question Focus: Clothing worn by the first man

Correct Answer: black leather jacket

Passage Reference: He was wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a black leather jacket.

Why this is correct: The diagram points to the first man's outer clothing. The speaker lists his clothes and finishes with a black leather jacket, which is the correct label.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes write leather jacket only. That misses an important detail. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'a black leather jacket' = Diagram: 'jacket'

Tips: When clothes are listed, listen to the full list before writing your answer.

Key Vocabulary:

• leather = material from animal skin

Question Focus: Body build of the second man

Correct Answer: fat

Passage Reference: The second man is much shorter, around five foot eight, with a fat build and red hair and clean shaven.

Why this is correct: For the second man, the speaker describes his body type. You hear a fat build, so the key word to write in the diagram is fat.

Common Mistake: Some students write overweight or heavy. These are similar in meaning but not the exact word. This is a synonym trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'a fat build' = Diagram: 'build'

Tips: Do not replace descriptive words with your own synonyms in FIB questions.

Key Vocabulary:

• build = body shape

Question Focus: Facial hair of the second man

Correct Answer: clean shave

Passage Reference: with a fat build and red hair and clean shaven.

Why this is correct: The diagram shows the second man's face. The speaker says he is clean shaven, meaning no beard or moustache.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes write no beard. That changes the wording and is not what the speaker says. This is a synonym trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'clean shaven' = Diagram: 'facial hair'

Tips: Listen for negative descriptions like no hair or clean shaven. They are easy to miss.

Key Vocabulary:

• clean shaven = no facial hair

Question Focus: Age of the two men

Correct Answer: early 20s

Passage Reference: They are both probably in their early twenties.

Why this is correct: At the end of the description, the speaker talks about age. You hear that they are in their early twenties, which matches early 20s on the diagram.

Common Mistake: Some students write twenties only. That is too vague and misses the word early. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'early twenties' = Diagram: 'age'

Tips: Age is often given approximately. Listen for words like about, around, or early.

Key Vocabulary:

• twenties = age from 20 to 29

General Tips:

• Diagram answers follow the order of the recording, so stay focused and do not jump ahead.
• Police descriptions often include height, build, clothes, and age. Expect these categories.
• Always copy the exact word or phrase you hear. Do not replace it with your own words.
• Check the word limit carefully. Extra words make the answer wrong even if the meaning is correct.
• Listen for signpost phrases like 'The first man' and 'The second man' to avoid mixing details.
