Passage Reference: Across from the central office is the fruit market.

Common Mistake: Some students write market only. That loses important information because the speaker specifies fruit market. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'Across from the central office is the fruit market' = Diagram: 'place opposite the central office'

Tips: When labeling a diagram, look carefully at position words like across from, next to, or past.

Key Vocabulary:

• across from = opposite
• market = place to buy things

Question Focus: Naming the main east-west street on the map

Correct Answer: sunset road

Passage Reference: The main east-west street is called Sunset Road

Why this is correct: The long horizontal street on the diagram represents the east-west road. The speaker says the main east-west street is called Sunset Road, so that is the correct label.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes write Santa Monica Avenue, but that is the north-south street. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'main east-west street' = Diagram: 'horizontal main road'

Tips: Always connect directions in the audio like east-west or north-south to the map layout.

Key Vocabulary:

• east-west = horizontal direction
• road = street

Question Focus: Identifying transport access at the main intersection

Correct Answer: subway

Passage Reference: Also, the subway station is accessible from all four corners of the intersection.

Why this is correct: The diagram label sits at the central intersection. The speaker explains that the subway station is accessible from all four corners of the intersection, so this location must be the subway.

Common Mistake: Some students write bus stop because buses are mentioned later. That refers to transport generally, not the labeled place. This is a distractor trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'subway station accessible from all four corners' = Diagram: 'transport at intersection'

Tips: When you hear extra explanation, like all four corners, it usually signals an important map label.

Key Vocabulary:

• accessible = can be reached
• intersection = crossing of streets

Question Focus: Following directions south past the intersection

Correct Answer: ranch museum

Passage Reference: If you travel south from the market and go past the intersection, you will see the ranch museum.

Why this is correct: On the diagram, this label is south of the intersection. The speaker says that if you go south and past the intersection, you will see the ranch museum, matching this position.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose Old City Hall, but that is west of the intersection, not south. This is a direction trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'travel south from the market' = Diagram: 'location below the intersection'

Tips: Track directions carefully. Draw a quick arrow on your paper for north, south, east, west while listening.

Key Vocabulary:

• ranch = farm area
• museum = place showing history

Question Focus: Identifying a site east of the main intersection

Correct Answer: movie studios

Passage Reference: In the opposite direction, going east of the main intersection, you can see Sunny Movie Studios.

Why this is correct: The diagram label is placed to the east of the intersection. The speaker says that going east, you can see Sunny Movie Studios, so movie studios is the correct label.

Common Mistake: Some students write Old City Hall, which is mentioned close by in the audio but is to the west. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'Sunny Movie Studios' = Diagram: 'movie studios'

Tips: Listen for contrast words like in the opposite direction. They often introduce a new map label.

Key Vocabulary:

• studio = place where films are made
• opposite direction = other side

General Tips:

• Diagram questions follow the order of the recording. Use the last label to predict where the next one will be.
• Focus on direction words like north, south, east, west, across from, and past.
• Do not change the words you hear. Copy the exact place name from the audio.
• Always check the word limit. Extra words mean automatic marks lost.
• You hear the recording only once, so stay calm and keep moving even if you miss one answer.
