OK so let's go through another sexual one practice test.
This is from Child's book number 10 tests wanders from the latest Child's book.
It's a great book.
They have really good practice.
And so if you go out and get this book you'll have a chance to practice with some exams practice exams
that are really close to how the real exam is being done right now.
So let's take a look at.
I was booked on routine tests one and I'm going to be explaining to you how to do it if you want.
If you've gone and gone out and got the book like I recommend it if you want to you can stop the tape
right now.
Stop the lecture right now and do sexual one yourself.
And then afterwards you can come back and listen to my explanation of the answers and what answers you
should have gotten and why.
That's a good way you can go through the practice because that's actually how I go about the practice
what I'm teaching my class with students with students in person.
We will go they'll do the section and then I'll go over with them and pointing out as we go along what's
y what's right what's wrong and why.
And so if you want that same experience you can do the same thing.
So if you want stopped Elektra now go ahead and do Section 1 and then come back and you can listen to
the the answer choices and and get the lesson really well.
OK.
So let's go through Section 1 as we deal with the previous example as you know when they start the tape
see wanted and start this audio
Cambridge English I ls 10 published by Cambridge University Press and Cambridge English language assessment
2015 this recording is copyright CDE 1 test 1 you will hear a number of different recordings and you
will have to answer questions on what you hear there will be time for you to read the instructions and
questions and you will have a chance to check your work all the recordings will be played once only
the test is in four sections of the end of the test.
You will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet no.
Turn to Section 1 Section 1 you will hear a telephone conversation between a travel agent and a customer
first.
You have some time to look at questions 1 2 6
1 2 6.
All right so we can see here that they are going through questions 1 through 6 right.
So when they give you this time to prepare you should be looking at and doing the two things that I
suggested.
No one predicting what the answers are going to be and number two looking at the language just before
the blank line so you can listen out for that language and know when the answer is being said those
are the two most important things that you have to be aware of.
Also as a side note be aware of that many times for the question.
The word order might not come in the same word order and when they're giving you numbers that they're
going to maybe take a minute.
Very often give you more than one number.
So we're looking at this.
Number one we know it's gonna be a name right.
This is one blank road.
So they're going to most likely be spelling their name for you.
You have to spell things exactly right.
Then they're going to say everything goes in order.
Right.
It goes in order from 1 to 10.
It goes in order.
You will never hear the answer to number three before you hear the answer to number two doesn't work
that way.
OK.
All right.
So we will hear the post code and then we'll hear this phone number then no the number two look at what
the language of the question say.
So you know about the answer heard about the company from so whatever this answer is.
It has to be an answer connected to how somebody heard about the company.
So just think about what are some of those pot what by what might some of those possible answers be.
Then you're gonna see a possible self drive towards them they're gonna talk about trip one you'll hear
them say Los Angeles right.
It says customer wants to visit some parks with her children whatever this answer is connect whatever
this answer is the key language I use have circled on your answer sheet or visit some.
And the word parks parks and visit some.
That's what should be outlined or circled on your answer sheet.
Visit some.
And the word parks because whatever this answer is for number three it connects to that language.
Right now you have to be aware that you may have to listen out for synonyms.
Number four this is Yosemite Park customer wants to stay in a lodge not a right.
So keywords are listening for something about a lodge.
But our answer can next to not write our answer connects to not.
And so we have to listen for that language.
There is there.
They're going to say trip to this is customer wants to see the blank on the way to Cambria.
All right.
So whatever this answer is right is on the way to Cambria right.
So that's our that's our language you should have circle for number five is on the way to Cambria see
and on the way to Cambria.
You're listening for an answer choice.
We know it's a noun Reichl says See.
See what you think.
All right then let's say you talk about Santa Monica and then we're going to get down to number six.
We'll going say at San Diego he wants to spend some time on right.
What did he want to spend time on.
All right so listen now and try your best and then we'll go through the answers together and I'll point
out for you what's wrong and right.
OK.
So let's go back and get started with the audio.
And right now he is he's giving the time for looking at the answers but I just went through that with
you so that you can I really want to explain to you how to really spot keyword language and how to recognize
the language that you need to listen now for those connected to the answers.
And that's what's going to really help you do a great job.
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you on this occasion only the conversation
relating to this will be played first.

A r d l e i g h.
Road Post Code b h five to o p.
Thanks and can I have your phone number is a mobile all right.
Fine.
It's 0 double 7 8 6 6 4 3 0 9 1.
Thank you.
And can I ask you where you heard about world tours from a friend or did you see an advert somewhere.
No.
I read about you in the newspaper.
OK I'll get the brochures in the post to you but can I give you some information over the phone.
What kinds of things do you want to do on your holiday.
I'm interested in going to California with my family.
I've got two children and we want to hire a car.
Okay we have a couple of self drive tours there visiting different places of interest in California.
The first one begins in Los Angeles and there's plenty of time to visit some of the theme parks there.
That's something on my children's list so I'd want to include that.
Good.
Then you drive to San Francisco from San Francisco you can drive to Yosemite Park where you spend a
couple of nights.
You can choose to stay in a lodge or on the campsite.
I don't like the idea of staying in a tent.
It'd be too hard right.
And the tour ends in Las Vegas.
Okay.
The other trip we can arrange is slightly different.
It starts in San Francisco.
Then you drive south to Cambria.
Someone told me there's a really nice castle near Cambria.
Well we go near that Hearst Castle is on that road so you could stop there.
Good.
I'd like to do that.
Does this trip also go into the desert.
No.
It continues to Santa Monica where most people like to stop and do some shopping.
We have enough of that at home so that doesn't interest us.
Okay.
Well you could go straight on to San Diego.
That's good for beaches isn't it.
That's right.
That's a good place to relax and your children might like to visit the zoo before flying home.
Now I don't think so.
We want some time for sunbathing and swimming.
OK.
So look at these answer choices that they gave.
And let's take a look at it.
So our number one was pretty straightforward.
That was for a previous one and this is from highlights from Miles beauty and
this one all right for number one.
They spelled it for us.
And normally when they do that when they when they are doing that they're going to use a person will
say the word ard then other person will say Oh.
What.
How do you do.
How do you spell that.
And then they'll they'll come on and spell it for you.
Letter by letter.
So a R B capital they are doing l g h Number Two Number Two.
I heard about company from right.
Number two was really straightforward.
Number two the answer was newspaper.
Right.
And the guy said the guy said.
Where did you hear about us right.
And then if you notice what he did was he made some suggestions of possibilities.
So that's what they do sometimes.
Right.
That's what they do sometimes I'll play it again so you can kind of hear what I'm talking about a r
d l e i g h road post code b h 5 2 0 P.
Thanks.
And can I have your phone number.
Is a mobile all right fine.
It's 0 double 7 8 6 6 4 3 0 9 1.
Thank you.
And can I ask you where you heard about world tours from a friend or did you see an advert somewhere.
No.
I read about you in the newspaper.
See a lot of times what they'll do is they'll throw out some suggestions right.
You say it from a friend or from an advert right through out possible answers but that's that you're
listening for the answer that she said right.
But a lot of students will write down friend advertising because that's what they heard.
No he just threw out some suggestions but that's not the answer.
I read about you in the newspaper.
So the answer would be newspaper right.
The answer would be newspaper.
Now number three number three was really straightforward answer was thin thing.
All right.
It was theme and it was really straightforward.
They used the they used the exact language actually when they gave it.
If you listen to it all right they're going to give you some information of the kinds of things do you
want on your holiday.
I'm interested in going to California with my family.
I've got two children and we want to come a car.
We have a couple of self-driving cars right.
So there they said it's cell drive towards you should follow along.
A good thing to do is use your pencil peninsular pan to follow along.
All right follow along with the conversation stay with the conversation.
That's why when you see a lot of times you'll see that hand right next to where they are.
And I think you should do the same thing with your pencil so you can just follow along with the conversation
because what happens is there's a lot of students get lost in the conversation.
They get lost in the conversation different places of interest in California.
There's plenty of time to visit some of them.
So he said it exactly.
The first is in Los Angeles.
There is plenty of time to visit some of the theme parks.
So again a lot of times what you'll see a lot of times what you'll see is sometimes they won't play
around with the language.
They may not use synonyms because they give they'll give you a word that they think is difficult for
you to be able to spell like the word theme.
So they weren't they weren't really playing around with selling them language or changing the word order
or other kind of traps that you have to deal with.
They just could they.
You might want to we might want to plan to visit some theme parks right.
They're betting on that you're not familiar with how to spell the word theme and that's what's going
to be difficult for you
in terms of number four.
Number four was really easy you know with number four with number four our correct answer was tent and
it was easy because the woman said that she said You know I don't
I don't like a tent or something like that.
She said I don't like a tent right.
Don't don't don't don't.
It's synonym for not.
And so what was the language.
What came directly after a word was the word tent again when number four they tried to trick you and
fool around.
They tried to trick you and fool around by giving you some extra answers that you might not want to
pick number five.
Number five was Castle
see as TLC she said from the move down some
she say will we go near.
Right.
So you heard them talking about Cambria.
And when she said the language will we go near that was synonym for saying is it on the way to right.
Will we go near.
Will be be near a castle is the same as saying that there is a castle on the way to.
So that was our Synonym of language that we had to recognize there.
That was a synonym name with language we had to recognize and then for number six.
All right.
You said they want to spend some time on the and you should have picked for number six The answer of
beach on the way to the beach.
That's something on my children's list.
So could you drive to San Francisco from San Francisco.
You can drive to 70 park where you spend a couple of nights you can choose to stay in the campsite.
So they gave answers lodge campsite.
I don't like the idea of staying in a tent.
So the answer would be tent.
Right.
Vegas.
OK.
The other trip range is different.
It starts in San Francisco.
Then you drive south to Cambria.
A really nice castle.
Well we go to that castle right.
So she say there's a really nice thighs car.
So will we go near that.
Right.
So a lot of times.
Another thing you want to be aware of sometimes is what they'll do is they'll use well reference pronouns
like this that these and those like she said there's a really nice castle willing will we go near that.
Right.
So that is a reference pronoun for the word Castle.
So there is.
So there you see how that works sometimes you have to pay attention to your reference pronouns was good
because very often was what will happen is they will use a reference pronoun to refer back to what the
answer was that was just said.
OK.
So just be aware of that also.
All right.
So we're going to we're going to go on the next lecture and we are going to focus on questions seven
eight nine and ten.
If you see me checking the clock sometimes it's because we have to make sure that we restrict each lecture
to under 20 minutes.
And so that's why we're does what we're doing here in different parts because we have to make sure we're
under that 20 minute mark so at any rate.
Take care.
Talk to you soon.
Listen up for the next lecture 4 questions 7 8 9 and 10.
