تحلیل لیسنینگ آیلتس آکادمیک و جنرال کمبریج 9 - تست 1: بررسی سوالات، نکات کلیدی و استراتژی‌های پاسخ‌دهی

🔹 Correct Answer: answer(ing) (the) phone

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q1 WOMAN: "It's answering the phone."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The man asks a direct question about the "sort of work." The woman replies directly, "It's answering the phone," which fits the gap perfectly.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The man first suggests "washing up?" and the woman later says "not waiting at table." These are two other types of restaurant jobs designed to **distract the listener**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: In Section 1, distractors are often the first things mentioned. Wait for the speaker with the information (the woman, in this case) to **confirm the correct answer**, which often corrects a wrong assumption.

🔹 Correct Answer: Hillsdunne Road

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q2 WOMAN: "Well, we have two branches - the one we're recruiting for is in Hillsdunne Road." ... WOMAN: "It's H-I-double L-S-D-U-double N-E Road."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The woman clarifies that the specific branch ("the one we're recruiting for") is in "Hillsdunne Road." The **spelling is then provided** to confirm the answer.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The mention of "two branches" might make a candidate hesitate. The main trap is the **spelling** of "Hillsdunne."

⭐ Key Learning Point: When a proper noun (name or street) is the answer, be prepared to **write down the spelling as it's dictated**. The test-makers always spell out unfamiliar names in Section 1.

🔹 Correct Answer: library

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q3 WOMAN: "Yes. The nearest one would probably be just beside the Library."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question uses the preposition "next to." The audio uses the direct synonym "just beside." The location given is "the Library."

⚠️ Potential Traps: This is a **straightforward** question with no significant traps.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **synonyms**, especially for prepositions of place (e.g., next to = beside, near = close to, opposite = across from).

🔹 Correct Answer: 4.45

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q4 WOMAN: "We're offering £4.45 an hour." MAN: "That's very good. My last job was £3.95 an hour."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The woman directly states the pay rate for this job: "£4.45 an hour."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The man immediately mentions another number: "£3.95 an hour." This is a classic **numerical distractor**. A candidate might write down the second number they hear, which refers to the man's last job, **not the current one**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: When you hear **multiple numbers**, pause and identify what each number refers to. The question is about the current job's pay, not a previous one.

🔹 Correct Answer: national holidays

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q5 WOMAN: "And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: This is a **direct match**. The notes say "extra pay when you work on..." and the audio provides the exact missing phrase: "national holidays."

⚠️ Potential Traps: **None**. This is a simple gap-fill.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Use the question to predict the type of answer needed. "Extra pay for working on..." strongly implies a **type of day** (like weekends, or in this case, holidays).

🔹 Correct Answer: after 11 (o'clock)

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q6 WOMAN: "...if you're working after 11 o'clock we drive you home."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The notes mention "transport home," which is paraphrased as "we drive you home." The condition for this benefit is given: "if you're working after 11 o'clock."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Writing only "11" might be acceptable, but "**after 11**" is more precise and fully answers the question.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **conditional language** (like "if" or "when"). It often introduces the specific criteria or detail needed for the answer.

🔹 Correct Answer: (a) clear voice

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q7 WOMAN: "Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have!"

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The man asks about "qualities." The woman begins her list with "we want a clear voice."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The candidate must include "**clear**" as "voice" alone is not the full quality. The instruction "NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS" confirms this is acceptable.

⭐ Key Learning Point: When a **list is being given**, the first item is often the answer to the first gap. Be ready to write as soon as the "list" begins.

🔹 Correct Answer: think quickly

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q8 WOMAN: "And you must be able to think quickly, you know."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The phrase "ability to" in the question is perfectly paraphrased as "**you must be able to**" in the audio. The skill that follows is "think quickly."

⚠️ Potential Traps: **None**. This is a direct substitution.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **modal verbs of ability or requirement** (e.g., must be able to, need to have). They are strong signposts that directly match question phrases like "ability to" or "qualities required."

🔹 Correct Answer: 22(nd) October

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q9 MAN: "Sorry, I couldn't come tonight. Or tomorrow, I'm afraid. Thursday's okay that'd be 22nd of October."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks for the date. The man rejects two options ("tonight," "tomorrow") before confirming the day ("Thursday") and then stating the specific date ("22nd of October").

⚠️ Potential Traps: The distractors are "**tonight**" and "**tomorrow**." Candidates must listen for the final, agreed-upon date, not the initial suggestions.

⭐ Key Learning Point: In any dialogue about scheduling, there will be **rejections and suggestions**. Do not write anything down until you hear one speaker state a firm, **accepted time/date**.

🔹 Correct Answer: Manuja

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q10 WOMAN: "Oh yes ,of course,sorry. My name is Samira Manuja." MAN: "Can you spell that,please?" WOMAN: "M-A-N-U-J-A."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question provides the first name, so the answer is the **surname**. The woman gives her full name, "Samira Manuja." The spelling is then provided, which is the real test.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The only trap is **spelling**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The final question of Section 1 is very often a name that is **spelled out**. Have your pencil ready to catch the letters.

🔹 Correct Answer: branch

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q11 "...the company has now decided to open another branch in the area."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker identifies the existing shop as a "branch of a... company" and then states that the company is opening "another **branch**."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio talks about the **old branch** first, which might confuse the listener. The key is to understand that both the old and new shops are "**branches**."

⭐ Key Learning Point: The audio doesn't always give information in the same order as the question. Here, it defines the company type first, then applies that noun ("**branch**") to the new shop.

🔹 Correct Answer: west

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q12 "It’s going to be in the shopping centre to the **west** of Bradcaster, so that will be good news for all of you who’ve found the original shop in the north of the town hard to get to."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks for the location of the **new shop**. The audio states it is "to the **west** of Bradcaster."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker immediately mentions "the **north** of the town." This is a clear distractor referring to the location of the **original shop**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be very careful with **contrasting information** (e.g., new vs. old, here vs. there). The question is about the new shop, so the "**west**" is the answer, and "**north**" is the distractor.

🔹 Correct Answer: clothing

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q13 "The first three floors have a huge range of sports clothing as well as equipment..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question's "floors 1 – 3" is paraphrased as "The first three floors." The question lists "___ and equipment," and the audio lists "sports clothing as well as equipment." "Clothing" fills the gap.

⚠️ Potential Traps: **None**. This is a straightforward gap-fill.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Match **keywords** between the question and the audio. "floors 1-3" = "first three floors." "and equipment" = "as well as equipment."

🔹 Correct Answer: 10 / ten

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q14 "If they haven’t got exactly what you want in stock they promise to get it for you in **ten days**. Unlike the other store, where it can take up to fourteen days."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio states the **new store's** promise is "ten days."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The number "**fourteen**" is mentioned immediately after. This is a numerical distractor, referring to the **other store**. The word "**Unlike**" is the key signpost differentiating the two.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **comparative language** ("unlike," "more than," "whereas"). It is almost always used to introduce a distractor.

🔹 Correct Answer: running

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q15 "They cover all the major sports, including football, tennis and swimming, but they particularly focus on running."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The word "specialises" in the question is paraphrased as "**particularly focus on**." The focus is on "**running**."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The list of other sports ("football, tennis and swimming") are all **distractors**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **pivot words** like "**but**," "**however**," or "**particularly**." They often signal a move from a general list (distractors) to the specific, correct answer.

🔹 Correct Answer: (sports) bags

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q16 "As well as that, a whole section of the third floor is devoted to sports bags..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question's "a special section which just sells" is paraphrased as "**a whole section... is devoted to**." The item mentioned is "sports **bags**."

⚠️ Potential Traps: **None**. This is a direct answer.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Pay attention to phrases that mean "**a specific area**," such as "a whole section," "a separate department," or "**devoted to**."

🔹 Correct Answer: A (on Saturday morning only.)

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q17 "...you’ll have the chance to meet the national 400 metres running champion **Paul King**... and he will be staying around **until about midday** to chat to any fans..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The athlete is there on Saturday ("the opening") and "staying around **until about midday**" (12 PM). "Until midday" means he is only there in the **morning**. This matches option **A**.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Option B ("all day Saturday") is incorrect because he leaves at **midday**. Option C is incorrect; while other attractions are "all weekend," the athlete is only there **Saturday morning**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: For multiple-choice questions, listen for **qualifying language**. "**Until midday**" is the key qualifier that eliminates options B and C.

🔹 Correct Answer: A (gym membership.)

📍 Location in Audio Script: 📍Q18 "...while the **first person to get all the questions correct** gets a year’s free **membership of the Bradcaster Gym**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question is very specific: "first person" and "20 quiz questions correctly." The audio states this person "gets a year's free **membership of the... Gym**." This matches option **A**.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio first mentions a prize for "**fifteen out of twenty**" questions (related to B). It then mentions "**All entrants**" get a "calendar" (Option C). These are prizes for **different conditions**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: In multiple-choice, be **extremely precise**. The question asks about the prize for "the first person with 20 correct," so you must ignore the prizes for "15 correct" or for "all entrants."

🔹 Correct Answer: A (You need to reserve a place.) and E (It is cheaper this month.)

📍 Location (A): 📍Q19 "There are only a **limited number of places** available for this, so to **make a booking** phone 560341."

📍 Location (E): 📍Q20 "This would normally cost £30.00 but is available at **half price for this month only**."

🔹 Analysis (A): "**To make a booking**" is a direct synonym for "You need to reserve a place." This is necessary because of the "**limited number of places**."

🔹 Analysis (E): The audio states it's "**at half price**" and "**for this month only**," which is a perfect match for "It is cheaper this month."

⚠️ Potential Traps: D ("special clinic") is incorrect. The audio says the test is "**actually done in the shop**," which directly **contradicts** "special clinic."

⭐ Key Learning Point: In "**Choose TWO**" questions, find **positive confirmation** for two answers and, just as importantly, find **negative contradiction** for the others. "**In the shop**" directly contradicts and eliminates option D.
