Question Focus: Understanding the required first step before registration
Correct Answer: have an interview
Why this is correct: The speaker clearly explains the process. You hear that before they can register, they need to be interviewed by a consultant. This matches the summary sentence saying they must first have an interview.
Passage Reference: You will need to register, but before you do that, you'll need to be interviewed by one of our consultants.
Common Mistake: Some students write register because it is mentioned several times. But the speaker says registration happens after the interview. This is a sequence trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'need to be interviewed' = Summary: 'must have an interview'
Tips: Listen for order words like before and after to avoid sequence mistakes.
Key Vocabulary:
- interviewed = asked questions formally
- consultant = advisor
Question Focus: Listening for corrected time information
Correct Answer: 2pm
Passage Reference: There has been a cancellation for tomorrow morning at 9.30, or you can come after 2 tomorrow afternoon. Can we be interviewed together? Yes, I'm sure that would be OK. Crystal, is 9.30 all right with you. Yes, that suits me. Actually, I'm going to the dentist tomorrow. Let me check the time. Hang on, the dentist is at nine, so could we make it at two? No problem. Okay, that's the two o'clock then.
Why this is correct: The speaker first offers 9.30, but Crystal cannot make it. After checking, they agree on two o'clock, which is 2pm.
Common Mistake: Many students choose 9.30 because it is mentioned first. But the time is changed later. This is a sequence trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'two o'clock' = Summary: 'meet at 2pm'
Tips: Always listen for corrections like actually or no problem. The final decision is the answer.
Key Vocabulary:
- cancellation = an appointment removed
- afternoon = after midday
Question Focus: Spelling a surname correctly
Correct Answer: Pastel
Passage Reference: What's your surname? Pastel. P-A-S-T-E-L. Peter's my first name.
Why this is correct: Peter clearly states his surname and then spells it out as P-A-S-T-E-L. This confirms the correct spelling is Pastel.
Common Mistake: Some students confuse it with a color word or spell it incorrectly. This is a number/spelling trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'My surname? Pastel' = Table: 'Surname - Peter'
Tips: When names are spelled, write exactly what you hear, letter by letter.
Key Vocabulary:
- surname = family name
Question Focus: Accurately listening to a phone number
Correct Answer: 041298735
Passage Reference: A contact phone number, please. My mobile is 0412 98735. Thank you.
Why this is correct: Peter gives his mobile number clearly as 0412 98735. Written without spaces, this becomes 041298735.
Common Mistake: Students often miss or add a digit when numbers are said quickly. This is a number/spelling trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'My mobile is 0412 98735' = Table: 'Contact phone number'
Tips: Write numbers as you listen. Do not wait until the speaker finishes.
Key Vocabulary:
- mobile = cellphone
Question Focus: Identifying corrected information
Correct Answer: BI 690011
Passage Reference: Oh no that's mine. Wrong way round. Oops. It's BI690011 for Crystal and B723466 for Peter.
Why this is correct: There is confusion at first, but the speaker corrects it and clearly says BI690011 for Crystal. This final correction is the answer.
Common Mistake: Many students write the first number they hear before the correction. This is a sequence trap.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'BI690011 for Crystal' = Table: 'Student number - Crystal'
Tips: When you hear words like oops or wrong way round, expect a correction.
Key Vocabulary:
- student number = ID number
General Tips:
- FIB answers follow recording order. Use the previous answer to know where to listen next.
- Always listen for corrections. The final version is usually the answer.
- Check the word limit carefully. Too many words means zero marks.
- For forms and tables, spelling and numbers must be exact.
- The recording is played once only, so stay focused until the end of each detail.
