Anchor Table of Contents ⚓
📝 Question 1: Prices range from $105 to $ (1) per room per month.
🔹 Correct Answer: 239
📍 Location in Audio Script: "It says the monthly price per room starts at $105 and goes up to $239."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question is a gap-fill requiring the **maximum price**. The speaker provides both the minimum price ($105) and the maximum price ($239), which directly fills the gap to complete the range.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The candidate may mistakenly write "105," which is the **minimum price**, not the maximum one required.
⭐ Key Learning Point: For number questions, listen carefully for qualifying phrases like "starts at" and "**goes up to**" to distinguish between different values.
📝 Question 2: The furniture is very (2)
🔹 Correct Answer: modern
📍 Location in Audio Script: "Yes. People have mentioned that the furniture from Peak Rentals is more modern than any of the other companies."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question requires an **adjective** to describe the furniture's quality. The speaker states the furniture is "more **modern** than any of the other companies," which confirms the correct word.
⚠️ Potential Traps: None explicitly designed as a distractor here, but a candidate might write a word like "positive" based on the preceding feedback, which doesn't fit the grammatical structure (very [adjective]).
⭐ Key Learning Point: **Predict the part of speech** (e.g., adjective, noun) required by the grammar of the sentence before the audio plays.
📝 Question 3: Special offer: free (3) with every living room set
🔹 Correct Answer: lamp
📍 Location in Audio Script: "Oh, and the brochure says that there's a special offer at the moment... You'll also get a lamp at no extra cost."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The table requires the item received for **free**. The speaker explicitly mentions a "**lamp** at no extra cost," using the common synonym "free."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker also mentions "chairs and a TV table," but these are the items being rented, not the **free offer**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **synonyms and signposting language** related to special deals, such as "special offer," "free," or "**no extra cost**," to pinpoint the exact answer.
📝 Question 4: (4) and Oliver
🔹 Correct Answer: Aaron
📍 Location in Audio Script: "Then you could try Aaron and Oliver... Sorry, what and Oliver? Aaron, double A R O N."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker suggests "**Aaron** and Oliver" and then **spells the name**, confirming the answer.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question structure is a direct clue. The speaker's **spelling** is a backup but may distract the candidate from simply noting the name.
⭐ Key Learning Point: When names are involved, the speaker often **spells them out** (a very common IELTS feature).
📝 Question 5: 12% monthly free for (5)
🔹 Correct Answer: damage
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...if you chose them, you need to be aware that they charge an extra 12% every month in case of damage."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks for the **reason** for the 12% monthly fee. The speaker explains it's "in case of **damage**," directly answering the prompt.
⚠️ Potential Traps: A candidate might write "fee" or "charge," but the required answer is the **reason** for the fee.
⭐ Key Learning Point: In notes/table completion, the words surrounding the gap often indicate the **type of information required** (e.g., "fee for..." requires the purpose).
📝 Question 6: Offers cheapest prices for renting furniture and (6) items
🔹 Correct Answer: electronic
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...it has the lowest prices in town. That's for both furniture and also electronic equipment."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker lists "furniture and also **electronic** equipment." The word "**electronic**" is the only word required that fits the limit of ONE WORD to complete the phrase "electronic items."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The candidate might write "equipment," but the required word to complete the phrase "electronic items" is the **adjective**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Be sure to check the **word limit** and grammatical fit. You must select the most relevant single word (**electronic**) that fits the context of the printed text.
📝 Question 7: Must have own (7)
🔹 Correct Answer: insurance
📍 Location in Audio Script: "First of all, you have to take out insurance on the furniture, and you need to organize that yourself."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker states you need to "take out **insurance** on the furniture and organize that yourself," which is paraphrased in the table as "Must have own **insurance**".
⚠️ Potential Traps: The phrase "organize that yourself" is the key paraphrase for **"have own."** The answer is the noun **insurance**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Pay attention to **paraphrasing** (e.g., "organize that yourself" becomes "have own") to anticipate the type of noun needed.
📝 Question 8: (8) Rentals
🔹 Correct Answer: Space
📍 Location in Audio Script: "Sorry to interrupt.I just thought of another furniture rental company.It's called Space Rentals..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker introduces the final company's name, which is "**Space** Rentals."
⚠️ Potential Traps: None, this is a straightforward **name fill**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Be ready for the speaker to interrupt or change topic (signposted by "Sorry to interrupt" or "just thought of another...") as this often introduces the next piece of required information.
📝 Question 9: See the (9) for the most up-to-date prices
🔹 Correct Answer: app
📍 Location in Audio Script: "I don't have any information about their charges. So it's best to use their **app** to find out what it would cost you to use them."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker advises using their "**app**" to check the cost, which means the **app** contains the prices.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker mentions "charges" and "cost" which are synonyms for "prices," but the required word is the **location** of the prices.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for words that indicate **location or method** (e.g., "use their...", "see the...").
📝 Question 10: (10) are allowed within 7 days of delivery
🔹 Correct Answer: Exchanges
📍 Location in Audio Script: "One good thing about that company is that if you don't like the furniture once it's delivered, you can request exchanges, as long as you do that within a week of receiving it."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The notes require the **action** allowed within 7 days. The speaker states the customer can request "**exchanges**" within a week (7 days).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The time frame "within a week" (7 days) is given, but the required answer is the **action itself** (**exchanges**).
⭐ Key Learning Point: **Timeframes** (like "within 7 days") act as a very strong **signpost** that the correct answer is about to follow.
Audio Script Part 1: Questions 1-10
**Man**: Okay, let’s compare furniture rental companies. First, **Peak Rentals**.
**Woman**: It says the monthly price per room starts at $105 and goes up to $**📍Q1 239**. That depends on which rooms you need furniture for, of course.
**Man**: The furniture is well-made, I hear.
**Woman**: Yes. People have mentioned that the furniture from Peak Rentals is more **📍Q2 modern** than any of the other companies.
**Man**: Oh, and the brochure says that there's a special offer at the moment, if you rent living room furniture... You'll also get a **📍Q3 lamp** at no extra cost.
**Woman**: Then you could try **📍Q4 Aaron** and Oliver.
**Man**: Sorry, what and Oliver?
**Woman**: Aaron, double A R O N. Now, if you chose them, you need to be aware that they charge an extra 12% every month in case of **📍Q5 damage**.
**Man**: That seems quite high. What about **Larch Furniture**?
**Woman**: It has the lowest prices in town. That's for both furniture and also **📍Q6 electronic** equipment.
**Man**: First of all, you have to take out **📍Q7 insurance** on the furniture, and you need to organize that yourself. Also, the minimum contract length is 6 months.
**Woman**: Sorry to interrupt. I just thought of another furniture rental company. It's called **📍Q8 Space** Rentals.
**Man**: I don't have any information about their charges. So it's best to use their **📍Q9 app** to find out what it would cost you to use them.
**Woman**: One good thing about that company is that if you don't like the furniture once it's delivered, you can request **📍Q10 exchanges**, as long as you do that within a week of receiving it.
• Multiple Choice (Questions 11-16)
📝 Question 11: Who was responsible for starting the community project?
🔹 Correct Answer: **B. a national charity**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "I was asked to join the project by **NHA, a charity** which sets up projects like this up and down the country."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker confirms the project was initiated (sets up) by **NHA, a charity** (**B**), not the council (where he works) or the castle owners (who provide facilities).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker mentions the **local council** (C) and the **castle owners** (A). Distinguish the **initiator/starter** (charity) from the collaborators.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Be careful to distinguish between different roles. The project's **starter or initiator** is the key, not those who participate or provide facilities.
📝 Question 12: How was the gold coin found?
🔹 Correct Answer: **A. Heavy rain had removed some of the soil.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "**Here**, a walker found it on the ground after a **rainstorm washed away some of the earth** and sand."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker uses **"Here"** to specify the site, saying a **rainstorm washed away** some of the earth, matching option **A**.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Options **B** (rabbits) and **C** (metal detector) are mentioned as **general** ways, but not the specific method used at this site. **"Here"** is the signal to focus.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **contrast words or specific markers** like "Here," "In our case," or "However" that pivot the discussion from general information to the **specific answer** required.
📝 Question 13: What led the archaeologists to believe there was an ancient village on this site?
🔹 Correct Answer: **A. the lucky discovery of old records**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "Just by chance, the team found some **old maps and documents** in our library, which showed 500-year-old drawings..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The **old maps and documents** (**old records**) served as the evidence that led to the belief, aligning with option **A**.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The remains of several buildings (**B**) were found **after** the decision to dig was made; the old records led to the digging.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Understand the **causal relationship**. The question asks for the **evidence/belief** (the records), not the **result** (the finding).
📝 Question 14: What are the team still hoping to find?
🔹 Correct Answer: **C. pieces of jewellery**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "Normally you'd expect to find **brooches and other jewelry**. But we're **still waiting to uncover** any such items."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker explicitly states they are **"still waiting to uncover"** items like "brooches and other **jewelry**" (**C**), meaning they still hope to find them.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Pottery (**A**) and animal bones (**B**) are mentioned as **already found** (distractors). The key is the phrase **"still waiting to uncover."**
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **keywords of expectation or lack thereof**, such as "still hoping," "**still waiting**," or "normally you'd expect" to identify the missing item.
📝 Question 15: What was found on the other side of the river to the castle?
🔹 Correct Answer: **B. the outline of fields**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "No other houses or huts so far. But we can see the **borders of an ancient field system**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker confirms finding a **"field system,"** which corresponds to option **B** (**the outline of fields**). They explicitly deny finding "houses or huts" (**C**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker mentions small huts (**C**), but immediately clarifies that they were **not** found. Be alert for **negation/correction**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Be alert for **negation/correction** (e.g., "No other...") which eliminates plausible but incorrect options.
📝 Question 16: What do the team plan to do after work ends this summer?
🔹 Correct Answer: **C. start to organise school visits**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "This summer's work will end soon... In the meantime, we're putting on a series of **guided tours for school groups this autumn**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker explicitly states they are **"putting on a series of guided tours for school groups this autumn,"** which matches option **C** (**organise school visits**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: Option **B** (TV documentary) already happened. Option **A** (museum display) is mentioned as uncertain. Only **C** is confirmed as the concrete plan.
⭐ Key Learning Point: **Differentiate between past events (B), uncertain plans (A), and confirmed future actions (C)**. Pay attention to tense.
• Map Labelling (Questions 17-20)
📝 Question 17: bridge foundations
🔹 Correct Answer: B
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...take the main path ahead of you, go straight on, and keep going till the path bends to the left. You'll see a smaller track leading off to the right. Follow that to take you to the river where the divers are."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Following the path from the starting point (bottom): Go straight, turn right onto the small track at the bend, and this leads to the river/bridge area, which is **B**.
⚠️ Potential Traps: A candidate might stop too soon or take the wrong path/turn. The key is to follow the directions step-by-step: main path $\rightarrow$ straight $\rightarrow$ path bends left $\rightarrow$ **small track right** $\rightarrow$ river $\rightarrow$ **B**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: For maps, follow the **direction and location prepositions/phrases** (e.g., "ahead of you," "bends to the left," "leading off to the right") precisely from the stated starting point.
📝 Question 18: rubbish pit
🔹 Correct Answer: **A**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "This is very near the castle walls in the **northwest corner** of the site."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker gives a specific absolute location: the **"northwest corner of the site,"** and notes it is "very near the castle walls." On the map, this clearly points to location **A**.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker mentions what was found there ("oyster shells and fish bones"), which can distract the listener from focusing on the **location itself**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: **Absolute directions** (e.g., "northwest corner") are the clearest indicators for map questions. Match these quickly to the provided map.
📝 Question 19: meeting hall
🔹 Correct Answer: **G**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "It's the **largest structure** in the central area of the site, **next to the current excavation area** [F]."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker places the meeting hall in the **"central area,"** describes it as the **"largest structure,"** and notes it is **"next to the current excavation area"** (**F**). This clearly identifies location **G**.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The current excavation area is **F**, which is adjacent to **G**. A candidate might mistakenly choose **F**. The description **"largest structure in the central area"** is key.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Use all **spatial clues** provided (e.g., absolute location, size, proximity to other known points) to triangulate the correct letter.
📝 Question 20: fish pond
🔹 Correct Answer: **E**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...turn right at the first information board you come to, and follow the path into the trees. Before you come out of the trees, you'll see it on your right. **If you reach the river, you've gone too far**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Following the path: turn right at the first board (C), go into the trees, see it on your right (E) **before** the river. The exclusion warning confirms the location before the river, which is **E**.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The directions must be followed precisely to land at **E**. Location D is on the left and just before the trees.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **exclusion warnings** (e.g., "If you reach the river, you've gone too far") as these confirm the final stop or boundary.
Audio Script Part 2: Questions 11-20
**Speaker**: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the site of our latest community archaeology project. I'm a full-time archaeologist for the town council, but I was asked to join the project by **📍Q11 NHA, a charity** which sets up projects like this up and down the country.
...Sometimes a coin is found by a person with a metal detector, or even unearthed by wild animals. **📍Q12 Here**, a walker found it on the ground after a **rainstorm washed away some of the earth** and sand.
...Just by chance, the team found some **📍Q13 old maps and documents** in our library, which showed 500-year-old drawings of ruined buildings on the grassy area...
...We found the remains of several buildings, and more broken pots than you can count... Normally you'd expect to find brooches and other **📍Q14 jewelry**. But we're **still waiting to uncover** any such items.
...we've also found evidence of human activity on the other side of the river. No other houses or huts so far. But we can see the **📍Q15 borders of an ancient field system**.
...This summer's work will end soon, but we'll be back next summer. In the meantime, we're putting on a series of **📍Q16 guided tours for school groups this autumn**.
**Map Directions (Q17-20):**
Our present location is marked at the bottom... To reach the **📍Q17 bridge** foundations, take the main path ahead of you, go straight on, and keep going till the path bends to the left. You'll see a smaller track leading off to the right. Follow that to take you to the river where the divers are. That's **B**.
You might be interested to see the **📍Q18 rubbish pit**. This is very near the castle walls in the **northwest corner** of the site. That's **A**.
One area we excavated in the first summer uncovered the site of a **📍Q19 meeting hall**... It's the **largest structure in the central area** of the site, next to the current excavation area. That's **G**.
...to get to the **📍Q20 fish pond** from here, you turn right at the first information board you come to, and follow the path into the trees. Before you come out of the trees, you'll see it on your right. If you reach the river, you've gone too far. That's **E**.
• Multiple Choice (Questions 21-26)
📝 Question 21: Finn was pleased to discover that their topic
🔹 Correct Answer: **B. had not been chosen by other students.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "I'm glad we picked this subject. **No one else on the course is doing the same as us**..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Finn says he's **glad** because **"No one else on the course is doing the same as us,"** which directly matches option **B**.
⚠️ Potential Traps: He mentions he **struggled** with websites (negating C) and the topic **is familiar** to the convenor (negating A).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Identify the emotional keyword (**"pleased/glad"**) and then listen carefully to the **reason** that follows, as the speaker often dismisses or negates the other options first.
📝 Question 22: Maya says a mistaken belief about theatre programmes is that
🔹 Correct Answer: **A. theatres pay companies to produce them.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "**Contrary to what many people think**, theatres don't hire people to do the programs. In fact companies buy the rights..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Maya uses **"Contrary to what many people think"** to signal the mistaken belief. She then explains the theatres **don't hire/pay**, confirming the belief is that the theatres pay (**A**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The fact that companies make money selling advertising is mentioned, but that's the reality, not the **mistaken belief** (**A**).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for phrases that signal **common misconceptions or errors**, such as "**Contrary to what many people think**," to pinpoint the false statement.
📝 Question 23: Finn was surprised that, in early British theatre, programmes
🔹 Correct Answer: **C. were seen as a kind of contract.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...if the program named a famous actor... if that didn't happen, people accused the theater of **breaking their agreement** with the audience."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Finn was surprised by the audience's reaction, seeing the theater **"breaking their agreement"** (or contract) if a named actor didn't perform (**C**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker discusses advertising and illiteracy but focuses on the **binding nature** of the information (**contract/agreement**).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Focus on the **inferred meaning and impact** of the text. The concept of an **"agreement"** being broken logically leads to the idea of a **"contract."**
📝 Question 24: Maya feels their project should include an explanation of why companies of actors
🔹 Correct Answer: **A. promoted their own plays.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...lots of ordinary people at that time were illiterate... When a company of actors arrived in a town, they'd **parade around the streets in their costumes, beating drums and announcing their upcoming performances**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Illiteracy meant programs were useless for advertising, so actors had to actively **advertise/promote** their plays by parading and announcing them (**A**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: They paraded in the streets, but this is a **method of promotion** (**A**), not an explanation of why they performed outdoors (**B**).
⭐ Key Learning Point: The question asks for an explanation of **why**. Look for a **cause-and-effect** relationship: Illiteracy meant the actors had to **promote** the plays another way.
📝 Question 25: Finn and Maya both think that, compared to nineteenth-century programmes, those from the eighteenth century
🔹 Correct Answer: **C. were more informative.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: **Finn**: "...I think 18th-century programs were superior, because they **told the theater goers so many things**..." **Maya**: "And about the writer, the plot, and sometimes the history of the play."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Both students agree the 18th-century programs provided a lot of information (**told the theater goers so many things**), making them **more informative** (**C**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: 19th-century programs are noted to be more **colourful** (**B** is for 19th century). The key is finding the point of **shared agreement**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: For a **"both/all agree"** question, listen for the dialogue exchange where one person states an opinion and the other **confirms, elaborates, or agrees** with that specific point.
📝 Question 26: Maya doesn’t fully understand why, in the twentieth century,
🔹 Correct Answer: **B. British theatre programmes failed to develop for so long.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "**What I don't really get is that** after the war, they didn't go back to being more than one sheet, or **change in any way for over 25 years**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Maya signals her lack of understanding (**"What I don't really get"**). Her point is that the format didn't **"change in any way for over 25 years,"** meaning they **failed to develop** (**B**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The USA (**A** and **C**) is mentioned, but Maya's confusion is about the **lack of change/development in the UK** after the war.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **phrases of confusion or inquiry** (e.g., "I don't fully understand," "I don't really get") to pinpoint the exact subject of the speaker's difficulty.
• Matching Programme Descriptions (Questions 27-30)
📝 Question 27: Ruy Blas
🔹 Correct Answer: **F** (resembles a piece of artwork)
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...the program looks very **decorative**. Good enough to **put in a frame on the wall**. The images are just beautiful."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The description of being **"very decorative"** with beautiful images and suitable for a **"frame on the wall"** is a clear analogy for **resembling a piece of artwork** (**F**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: None, the description is specific and points directly to **F**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: **Analogies** and strong descriptive language (e.g., "Good enough to put in a frame") often link directly to one of the matching options.
📝 Question 28: Man of La Mancha
🔹 Correct Answer: **E** (gives insights into the show)
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...it contains **articles written by members of the theater company**, so we can learn how the production was created, and the **thoughts and feelings of the cast**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The program provides an **internal look** at the production and the cast's feelings, which gives **"insights into the show"** (**E**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: None, the key is the **information inside the program**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Words like **"learn how," "thoughts and feelings,"** and **"created"** all relate to providing **insight** (**E**).
📝 Question 29: The Tragedy of Jane Shore
🔹 Correct Answer: **B** (historically significant for a country)
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...it's said to be the **earliest surviving document** to have been printed on **Australia's first printing press**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Being the **earliest surviving document** from **Australia's first printing press** makes it a record of a foundational cultural achievement, thus rendering it **historically significant for a country** (**B**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The mention of it being in a museum (**D**) is a subtle distractor, but its **historical significance** (**B**) is the main point of interest.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **superlatives and unique historical facts** (e.g., "earliest surviving," "first printing press") which strongly signal **historical significance** (**B**).
📝 Question 30: The Sailors’ Festival
🔹 Correct Answer: **D** (included in a recent project)
📍 Location in Audio Script: "It comes from the British Library's **digitized collection of programs that was started a few years ago**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The program is part of the British Library's new **"digitized collection,"** which is a perfect match for the comment that it is **"included in a recent project"** (**D**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: None, the description of the program's origin (a recent **digitized collection/project**) is a direct match.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Pay attention to **how the item is cataloged or found**; a library collection or digital archive often represents a **"project."**
Audio Script Part 3: Questions 21-30
**Finn**: Well, that's the program for our presentation on theater programs sorted. Even though I struggled to find many useful websites, I'm glad we picked this subject. **📍Q21 No one else on the course is doing the same as us**.
**Maya**: **Contrary to what many people think**, theatres don't hire people to do the programs. In fact companies buy the rights to publish programs on the theatre's behalf.
**Finn**: But I hadn't realized that if the program named a famous actor, that's who the public expected to perform, and if that didn't happen, people accused the theater of **📍Q23 breaking their agreement** with the audience.
**Maya**: I also think it's important to mention that lots of ordinary people at that time were illiterate, so theater programs were of limited value in advertising plays. When a company of actors arrived in a town, they'd **📍Q24 parade around the streets in their costumes, beating drums and announcing their upcoming performances**.
**Finn**: I think 18th-century programs were superior, because they **📍Q25 told the theater goers so many things**...
**Maya**: And about the writer, the plot, and sometimes the history of the play.
**Maya**: **📍Q26 What I don't really get is that** after the war, they didn't go back to being more than one sheet, or **change in any way for over 25 years**.
**Finn**: For a play called **📍Q27 Ruy Blas**... the program looks very **decorative**. Good enough to **put in a frame on the wall**.
**Maya**: I've got some pages from a program for **📍Q28 Man of La Mancha**... because it contains **articles written by members of the theater company**, so we can learn how the production was created, and the **thoughts and feelings of the cast**.
**Finn**: It's for **📍Q29 The Tragedy of Jane Shore**, and it's said to be the **earliest surviving document** to have been printed on **Australia's first printing press**.
**Maya**: Another program to talk about is for the **📍Q30 Sailors’ Festival**. It comes from the British Library's **digitized collection of programs that was started a few years ago**.
• Inclusive Design Principles (Questions 31-40)
📝 Question 31: Designing products that can be accessed by a diverse range of people without the need for any (31)
🔹 Correct Answer: **adaptation**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...without any type of adaptation having to be made to the original design."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The definition of inclusive design is given, stating it means products are accessible "without any type of **adaptation**," which directly fills the gap.
⚠️ Potential Traps: None, this is a clear vocabulary item used to define the concept. Listen for negating phrases (**without the need for any**...) to identify the excluded item.
⭐ Key Learning Point: When a definition is given, the **key terms** are often placed in the gaps.
📝 Question 32: Not the same as universal design: that is design for everyone, including catering for people with (32) problems.
🔹 Correct Answer: **cognitive**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "Universal design aims to make products that work for everyone. And that includes considering the needs of people who have **cognitive** difficulties..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Universal design includes people with **"cognitive difficulties."** The required word is the **adjective** describing the problems.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The word "difficulties" is a noun in the audio but the question requires the **adjective** (**cognitive**) to describe the noun "problems."
⭐ Key Learning Point: Always ensure the word you write fits the **grammar of the sentence** in the notes (**cognitive** problems).
📝 Question 33: (33) which are adjustable, avoiding back or neck problems
🔹 Correct Answer: **desks**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "In workplaces, it is common to see desks which can be adjusted to suit people of different heights, or for wheelchair users."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The notes require the object that is adjustable in the workplace. The speaker gives the example of **"desks which can be adjusted."**
⚠️ Potential Traps: The note also mentions "wheelchair users" and "back or neck problems," but the **object itself is the desk**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Identify the **main example/subject** being discussed (the noun), not the secondary details (the users or the health issues).
📝 Question 34: (34) in public toilets which are easier to use
🔹 Correct Answer: **Taps**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "You'll find another example in the public toilets... Taps that you activate by sensor require no pressing or twisting movements."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker moves the location to public toilets and gives the example of **"Taps that you activate by sensor,"** which are easier to use.

📝 Question 36: people can make commands using a mouse, keyboard or their (36)
🔹 Correct Answer: **voice**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "This can also affect their ability to use a mouse or keyboard. So voice access is now a routine way of making commands."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: After mentioning the mouse and keyboard, the speaker adds **"voice access"** as the third method. The note is about who is making the commands (**their voice**).

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker specifies that it's **particularly problematic** for those who are **"pregnant."**
⚠️ Potential Traps: The word "women" is mentioned, but the gap needs a **more specific type of woman** (**pregnant**).

⚠️ Potential Traps: The candidate might write "small," "jackets," or "size," but the **specific body part** that is smaller is the answer.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the **cause-and-effect** relationship. The unsuitable jacket is caused by the difference in the size of the **shoulders**.
📝 Question 39: PPE for female (39) officers dealing with emergencies is the worst.

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The problem is worst in the emergency services, **specifically the "police."** The word required is the **profession/role** to specify the type of officer.
⚠️ Potential Traps: **"Emergency services"** is the general group; the notes require the specific one stated as the **worst case**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **superlatives** (e.g., "worst") as they always point to a **specific item or group** that stands out.
📝 Question 40: The (40) in offices is often too low for women.
