Question Focus: Number/spelling trap - the diagram asks about the lid's proportion of total weight
Correct Answer: twenty five
Why this is correct: When talking about the lid, the speaker says that it constitutes 25% of the total weight. The diagram label near the lid is asking for this percentage, so the correct words to copy are twenty five.
Passage Reference: I think we should label the lid itself and say that it constitutes 25% of the total weight. 25%, so it's stronger than the body of the can.
Common Mistake: Some students write 25 percent or 25. This breaks the word limit trap or the number format trap. If the answer sheet expects words, you must write the number in words exactly as accepted.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'constitutes 25% of the total weight' = Diagram: 'percentage of total weight'
Tips: When you hear a clear number, decide quickly if you should write digits or words based on the answer space and word limit.
Key Vocabulary:
- constitutes = makes up
- total = whole
Question Focus: Synonym match - material of the can body
Correct Answer: aluminium
Passage Reference: What does it say? It's made of aluminium, of course. It's thicker at the bottom. Right, so that it can take all the pressure.
Why this is correct: While labeling the body of the can, the speaker says it is made of aluminium. The diagram label pointing to the body is asking for the material, so aluminium is the exact word to copy.
Common Mistake: Students sometimes write metal or steel because they guess instead of listening carefully. This is a paraphrase trap - you must use the exact word you hear.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'made of aluminium' = Diagram: 'material of body'
Tips: For diagram labels, listen carefully when the speaker names materials or parts - these are often direct answers.
Key Vocabulary:
- aluminium = light metal
- body = main part
Question Focus: Synonym match - part of the can that resists pressure
Correct Answer: bottom
Passage Reference: And then there's the base. Yes. It says the bottom of the can is shaped like a dome, so that it can resist the internal pressure.
Why this is correct: When discussing the base, the speaker explains that the bottom of the can is shaped like a dome to resist pressure. The diagram label pointing to the underside matches the word bottom.
Common Mistake: Some students write base because they hear that word first. This is a synonym match trap - the diagram label uses bottom, which is also said clearly by the speaker.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'the bottom of the can' = Diagram: 'lower part of the can'
Tips: If the speaker uses two words for the same thing, choose the one that best matches what you see on the diagram.
Key Vocabulary:
- dome = rounded shape
- resist = withstand
General Tips:
- Diagram questions follow the order of the recording - use the last answer to know where you are in the audio.
- Always check the word limit. Writing extra words like 'percent' can make an answer wrong.
- Copy the exact word you hear - do not replace it with your own synonym.
- Look at the diagram carefully. The picture often tells you which noun the speaker is referring to.
- Listen for signpost phrases like 'it's made of' or 'the bottom of the can' - these often introduce direct answers.
