Question Focus: Identifying the name of a corporate haven mentioned by the speaker
Correct Answer: dover
Why this is correct: The speaker clearly names one corporate haven. You hear called Dover, which is exactly what should be written in the chart.
Passage Reference: So two places in America are popular as corporate havens. One of them is called Dover. Dover?
Common Mistake: Some students write the spelling with capital letters or add extra words like Dover, USA. Only dover is needed. Adding extra words breaks the word limit. This is a number-spelling trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'called Dover' = Diagram: 'name of corporate haven'
Tips: When the speaker spells or confirms a name, write only the name, nothing extra.
Key Vocabulary:
- haven = safe place
- incorporate = register a company
Question Focus: Understanding a comparison used to explain incorporation
Correct Answer: address
Passage Reference: In very simple terms, it's like changing one's permanent address or town of residence. I see.
Why this is correct: The speaker explains incorporation by saying it is like changing a permanent address. The diagram simplifies this to address.
Common Mistake: Students often write residence because they hear it later in the sentence, but the chart focuses on the key idea. This is a distractor trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'permanent address' = Diagram: 'address'
Tips: When the speaker gives an example with 'like', listen for the main comparison, not every detail.
Key Vocabulary:
- permanent = long-term
- residence = place to live
Question Focus: Describing movement of corporations
Correct Answer: another place
Passage Reference: An existing corporation can also move to a haven to take advantage of special laws.
Why this is correct: The speaker says a corporation can move to a haven, meaning it moves to another place. The diagram uses simpler words.
Common Mistake: Some students write a haven, copying directly, but that does not match the diagram wording. This is a grammar-fit trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'move to a haven' = Diagram: 'another place'
Tips: In diagrams, the wording is often simplified. Match the idea, but keep the exact words that fit the gap.
Key Vocabulary:
- existing = already operating
- move = relocate
Question Focus: Reason why countries create tax havens
Correct Answer: source
Passage Reference: They're usually in countries that are trying to attract a source of income.
Why this is correct: The speaker explains that countries want to attract a source of income. The diagram shortens this to source.
Common Mistake: Students may write income, which is only part of the idea. The focus is on the source itself. This is a partial truth trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'source of income' = Diagram: 'source'
Tips: When you hear a phrase like 'source of', check if the diagram only wants the key noun.
Key Vocabulary:
- attract = bring in
- income = money earned
Question Focus: Identifying which corporations benefit most
Correct Answer: large
Passage Reference: these types of tax havens were good for large corporations.
Why this is correct: The speaker clearly says tax havens are good for large corporations. The chart only needs large.
Common Mistake: Some students write small because it is mentioned later, but that refers to difficulty, not benefit. This is a context shift trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'large corporations' = Diagram: 'large'
Tips: Be careful when the speaker contrasts large and small. Only one will answer the question.
Key Vocabulary:
- corporation = company
- benefit = advantage
General Tips:
- Diagram and note completion answers follow the order of the recording. Use the previous answer to know where you are.
- Do not exceed the word limit. Even one extra word makes the answer wrong.
- You must use words from the recording, not your own synonyms.
- Listen carefully when the speaker gives examples or comparisons. The answer often comes right after.
- When two similar ideas are mentioned, check which one actually answers the diagram label.
