تحلیل لیسنینگ آیلتس آکادمیک و جنرال کمبریج 8 - تست 2: بررسی سوالات، نکات کلیدی و استراتژی‌های پاسخ‌دهی

📝 Question 1: Address: 24 Mainly Street, 1 ......., Sydney

🔹 Correct Answer: Milperra

📍 Location in Audio Script: "It's 24 Manly Street, **Milperra** near Sydney. What was the suburb, sorry? Milperra. M-l-L-P-E-R-R-A."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks for the **suburb name**. The speaker provides it and spells it out, confirming the answer is **Milperra**. The constraint is NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS OR A NUMBER.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker says "Manly Street" (close to the note's "Mainly Street"). **Sydney** is already given. The main check is the correct **spelling** of the proper noun.

⭐ Key Learning Point: In form filling, be prepared for **spelling confirmation** when a specific proper noun (like a suburb name) is requested.

📝 Question 2: Shipping agent: 2 .......

🔹 Correct Answer: First Class Movers

📍 Location in Audio Script: "You mean the company we used? Yes, the company who packed everything up at the point of origin. Oh, it was ... er... **First Class Movers**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks for the name of the **shipping agent**. The speaker provides the company name directly: "**First Class Movers**." The answer is three words, which fits the constraint.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The candidate might mistakenly write down a location name instead of the **company name**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Identify the category being asked for (**shipping agent/company**) and record the proper noun precisely.

📝 Question 3: Date of arrival: 3 .......

🔹 Correct Answer: 28 November (or November 28)

📍 Location in Audio Script: "It left on the 11th of October and got to Sydney on the **28th of November**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks for the **arrival date**. The speaker gives two dates: departure (October 11th) and arrival (**November 28th**). The answer is the latter.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The date "**11th of October**" (**departure**) is a distractor. The candidate must focus on the keyword "**arrival**."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for time keywords like "**left**" (departure) and "**got to**" or "**arrived**" (**arrival**) to correctly map the date to the required information.

📝 Question 4: Television: the 4 ....... needs to be replaced

🔹 Correct Answer: screen

📍 Location in Audio Script: "It isn't an electrical problem. The **screen** has a huge crack in it so it's unusable."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The damage is identified as a "huge crack" on the **screen**, requiring replacement. The question asks for the damaged part.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The phrase "**huge crack**" is the description of the damage, not the part itself.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Use the surrounding words ("the... needs to be replaced") to identify the noun that represents the damaged **object part**.

📝 Question 5: The 5 ....... cabinet

🔹 Correct Answer: bathroom

📍 Location in Audio Script: "The cabinet from the **bathroom** was damaged as well. It's a lovely cabinet, we use it to keep our towels in."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The item is a cabinet, and the missing word specifies its location or type: the "**bathroom**" cabinet.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The word "**towels**" is mentioned as what is kept inside and is a distractor.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The answer is an adjective or noun that describes the **specific type of item** in a list (e.g., kitchen table, bedroom lamp, **bathroom cabinet**).

📝 Question 6: the 6 ....... of the cabinet is damaged

🔹 Correct Answer: door

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Well, the back and the sides seem okay but the **door** has a huge hole in it."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker specifies which part of the cabinet is damaged. The back and sides are fine, but the "**door**" has the damage.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The words "**back**" and "**sides**" are mentioned as undamaged parts, and "**hole**" is the type of damage.

⭐ Key Learning Point: When describing damage to an object, the speaker often lists the **undamaged parts first** to draw attention to the specific damaged part (the answer).

📝 Question 7: cost to repair/replace $ 7 .......

🔹 Correct Answer: 140

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Well, when I bought it last year I paid $125 for it. But the one I've seen here in Sydney is a bit more expensive, it's **$140**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks for the **replacement cost**. The speaker mentions the original cost ($125) and the higher replacement cost (**$140**).

⚠️ Potential Traps: The original cost of "**$125**" is a distractor. The **final cost** of replacement is the required answer.

⭐ Key Learning Point: In insurance claims, always listen for the most recent or **replacement value**, not the original purchase price.

📝 Question 8: Dining room table: a 8 ....... is split

🔹 Correct Answer: leg

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...one **leg** has completely split down the middle."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The damage is a split. The part of the table that is split is one "**leg**."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The word "**middle**" is mentioned, but the split is down the middle of the **leg**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Match the damage (**split**) to the object part (**leg**).

📝 Question 9: Set of china: six 9 ....... were broken

🔹 Correct Answer: plates

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...some **plates** were broken - six actually."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The china set contains many items, but the speaker specifies that six **plates** were broken.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker mentions "**dishes, you know, with matching cups, saucers**," but only the **plates** were broken.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Distinguish the general category (**set of china**) from the **specific damaged items** (**plates**).

📝 Question 10: cost to repair/replace: about 10 $ ....... in total

🔹 Correct Answer: 60

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...they can be up to $10 each as it's such a good set. Okay, so that would be around **$60** altogether? Yes, that's right."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks for the **total replacement cost**. Since six plates were broken at $10 each, the total is calculated as **$60** (6 x $10). The insurance agent confirms this amount.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The unit price, "**$10**," is a distractor. The question asks for the **total cost**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: When unit prices are mentioned, **calculate the total cost** if the quantity is also provided.

📝 Question 11: According to the speaker, the main purposes of the park are

A education and entertainment

B research and education

C research and entertainment

🔹 Correct Answer: B

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Our remit is to give **educational opportunities** to the wider public as well as to offer **research sites** for a wide variety of agriculturists and other scientists."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker clearly states the park's remit (purpose) is to provide "**educational opportunities**" and "**research sites**." This matches option B.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The word "**entertainment**" is not mentioned as a primary purpose. The candidate must focus on the two main areas of the park's **mission**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for synonyms or key phrases like "**remit**," "**purpose**," or "**mission**" to identify the core goal of the organization.

📝 Questions 12-14: Label the plan below. Write NO MORE THAN WORDS.

📝 Question 12

🔹 Correct Answer: Forest

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Next to this [grazing area]... moving east... is the largest section of our Park is the **Forest Area**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Following the directions from the **Reception Block**, the forest area is the largest section, located to the **east** of the grazing area. The key is to correctly follow the directional instructions on the map.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The **Grazing Area** is mentioned just before and is a distractor for the large area to the east.

⭐ Key Learning Point: In map labeling, use the **directional cues** (moving east, next to, south of) and starting point (**Reception Block**) to locate the correct area.

📝 Question 13

🔹 Correct Answer: Fish Farm(s)

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...this circular area is our lake... These two small rectangular shapes here... are the **Fish Farms** where we rear fish for sale."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker points out the circular lake and then refers to the two adjacent small rectangular shapes as the **Fish Farms**. The label must fit the identified area on the plan.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The **lake** is the adjacent central feature, and the **marsh area** is mentioned immediately after the fish farms.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Pay close attention to descriptions of **shape and size** ("circular area," "two small rectangular shapes") when labeling a plan.

📝 Question 14

🔹 Correct Answer: Market Garden

📍 Location in Audio Script: "In the south-eastern corner, beyond the marsh, is our **Market Garden** area, growing vegetables and flowers."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The location is the **south-eastern corner**, and the name of the area is the **Market Garden**.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The **Marsh** area is mentioned just before and is a distractor.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Always check the constraints; **NO MORE THAN WORDS** is a very loose constraint, but the answer should be the **proper name** of the area.

📝 Question 15: When are the experimental areas closed to the public?

A all the year round

B almost all the year

C a short time every year

🔹 Correct Answer: C

📍 Location in Audio Script: "All these areas can be visited by the general public for **almost all the year**... although... please take note of the large signs at the entrance to each area which tell... when certain areas are being used for particular controlled experiments and are therefore **temporarily out of bounds** to the public."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The experimental areas are only closed when they are "**temporarily out of bounds**" for experiments, which implies a **short time every year** (Option C). They are open for "almost all the year" (eliminating A and B).

⚠️ Potential Traps: "**Almost all the year**" (Option B) is mentioned, but the closure is **temporary**, which is the key word leading to Option C.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Note the **qualifiers**: "**almost all the year**" implies a small closure period, leading to the correct paraphrase.

📝 Question 16: How can you move around the park?

A by tram, walking or bicycle

B by solar car or bicycle

C by bicycle, walking or bus

🔹 Correct Answer: A

📍 Location in Audio Script: "We have **bicycles** which you can hire behind the Reception block... the healthy ones of you can go on **foot** and finally there’s our electric **tram**, powered from solar cells."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The three allowed modes of transport are **bicycles**, on **foot** (**walking**), and the electric **tram**. This matches option A.

⚠️ Potential Traps: **Cars** are explicitly banned (eliminating B, as "solar car" is not mentioned, only the solar-powered tram). **Buses** are not mentioned (eliminating C).

⭐ Key Learning Point: In listing questions, listen for the **complete list** and use the process of elimination to exclude options containing forbidden items.

📝 Question 17: The rare breed animals kept in the park include

A hens and horses

B goats and cows

C goats and hens

🔹 Correct Answer: C

📍 Location in Audio Script: "We keep **goats**, sheep and **hens** and other kinds of poultry. We are also thinking of bringing in cows and horses but we do not, as yet, have facilities for these bigger animals."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker lists the current animals as **goats**, sheep, and **hens**. Option C contains two of the currently kept animals (**goats and hens**).

⚠️ Potential Traps: **Cows and horses** (Options A and B) are distractors because the speaker says they **do not yet** have facilities for them.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for time phrases like "**not yet**" or "**thinking of bringing in**" to exclude distractors that are only planned for the future.

📝 Question 18: What is the main purpose of having the Rare Breeds Section?

A to save unusual animals

B to keep a variety of breeds

C to educate the public

🔹 Correct Answer: B

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...but of course we mustn’t lose sight of the main purpose of having this section, not as such to preserve rare animals but to **maintain the diversity of breeds** to broaden the gene pool for agricultural development."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker explicitly states the main purpose is to "**maintain the diversity of breeds**," which is option B.

⚠️ Potential Traps: **Preserve rare animals** (Option A) is a distractor, as the speaker says this is **not as such** the main purpose. **Educate the public** (Option C) is a secondary purpose of the whole park, not the main purpose of this section.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The answer is often stated as the **correction or refinement of a common misconception** (e.g., not this, but that).

📝 Question 19: What can you see in the park at the present time?

A the arrival of wild birds

B fruit tree blossom

C a demonstration of fishing

🔹 Correct Answer: C

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...but there are interesting events on all year round... for example **John Havers**, our expert fly fisherman, is **currently giving displays** on the lake."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks what is happening "**at the present time**." The speaker says the fisherman is "**currently giving displays**" (a demonstration of fishing).

⚠️ Potential Traps:

• A (arrival of wild birds) and B (fruit tree blossom) are mentioned as happening in **May** ("most spectacular month"), **not currently**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **time-specific words** like "**currently**," "**at present**," or "**now**" to isolate the correct event from future or past events.

📝 Question 20: The shop contains books about

A animals

B local traditions

C the history of the park

🔹 Correct Answer: A

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Do take time to browse round our shop... there is a wide selection of books on **wildlife**, some of them written by local authors, and the history of farming..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The shop contains books on **wildlife** (paraphrased as **animals**) and history of farming. Only A is a listed choice. C is too specific (**history of the park** vs. **history of farming**), and B is not mentioned.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The **history of farming** is a distractor, as it is related but not an option, making **A** the best fit.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Sometimes, only one of the listed categories of items will appear as an option. You must choose the option that **matches the available information**.

📝 Question 21: Where in Australia have Asian honey bees been found in the past?

A Queensland

B New South Wales

C several states

🔹 Correct Answer: A

📍 Location in Audio Script: "We discovered a few of them in **Queensland** once and eradicated them. Now, we're pretty keen to make sure that there aren't any more getting in, particularly to New South Wales and other states."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker clearly states they found the bees in **Queensland** once.

⚠️ Potential Traps: **New South Wales** is mentioned as an area they are now keen to protect, but the **past finding** was in **Queensland**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Distinguish between where something has been found (**past tense**) and where they are trying to prevent it from going (**future/current concern**).

📝 Question 22: A problem with Asian honey bees is that they

A attack native bees

B carry parasites

C damage crops

🔹 Correct Answer: B

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Well, in fact, they look almost the same, but they are infested with **mites** – microscopic creatures which live on them, and which can seriously damage our own home-grown bees..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The problem is that the Asian bees are infested with **mites** (microscopic creatures which live on them), which are a type of **parasite** (Option B).

⚠️ Potential Traps: The consequence is **damage to native bees**, but the problem with the Asian bee is what it **carries**. Option A is not directly stated; the mites damage the native bees, not the Asian bees attacking them.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Identify the **direct problem** (carrying mites/parasites) versus the consequence of that problem (damage to native bees).

📝 Question 23: What point is made about Australian bees?

A Their honey varies in quality

B Their size stops them from pollinating some flowers

C They are sold to customers abroad

🔹 Correct Answer: C

📍 Location in Audio Script: "In fact, Australia **exports** native Queen bees to a large number of countries because of this."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker states that Australia **exports** native Queen bees, meaning they are **sold to customers abroad** (Option C).

⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker says **European Honey Bees** (not Australian native bees) are too big to pollinate native flowers (distractor B). The honey of Australian bees is of excellent quality (contradicts A).

⭐ Key Learning Point: When multiple types of bees are discussed, carefully **attribute the facts** (size, quality, export) to the **correct bee type** (Australian, Asian, or European).

📝 Question 24: Grant Freeman says that if Asian honey bees got into Australia,

A the country’s economy would be affected

B they could be used in the study of allergies

C certain areas of agriculture would benefit

🔹 Correct Answer: A

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...it's estimated that native bees' pollination of flower and vegetable crops is worth **1.2 billion dollars a year**. So in a way they're the farmers' friend."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker puts a value of **$1.2 billion** on native bee pollination. Losing the native bees would result in this loss, meaning the **country's economy would be affected** (Option A).

⚠️ Potential Traps:

• Allergic reaction is mentioned as a consequence of being stung, not as a benefit for allergy study (eliminating B).
• The loss of native bees would **harm** agriculture, not benefit it (eliminating C).

⭐ Key Learning Point: Link specific **economic figures** ($1.2 billion) to the generalized concept of **national economy** in multiple-choice questions.

📝 Question 25: Birds called Rainbow Bee Eaters eat only 25 .......

🔹 Correct Answer: insects

📍 Location in Audio Script: "The Bee Eater doesn't care what it eats, as long as they're **insects**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks what the Bee Eaters eat. The speaker states they eat "**insects**."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The full name of the bird ("Rainbow Bee Eaters") is a distractor, but the word "**only**" in the note makes the answer the one thing they eat.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The word "**only**" is a qualifier that focuses the attention on the category of food.

📝 Question 26: Researchers go to the locations the bee eaters like to use for 26 .......

🔹 Correct Answer: feeding/eating

📍 Location in Audio Script: "In the field we track down the Bee Eaters and find their favourite **feeding** spots... It's here that we can find the pellets."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks what the locations are used for. The speaker states they are their favourite "**feeding spots**," meaning the purpose is **feeding** (or **eating**).

⚠️ Potential Traps: The word "**spots**" is too vague. The required word is the **activity**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The answer to a question using the word "**for**" often describes the **purpose or activity** that takes place there.

📝 Question 27: They collect the pellets and take them to a 27 ....... for analysis.

🔹 Correct Answer: laboratory

📍 Location in Audio Script: "We collect them up and take them back to the **laboratory** to examine the contents."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks for the place where the analysis is done. The place is the "**laboratory**."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The "**field**" is where they collect the pellets, which is a distractor.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for the **destination** after the collection or movement.

📝 Question 28: Here 28 ....... is used to soften them, and the researchers look for the 29 ....... of Asian bees in the pellets.

🔹 Correct Answer: water

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...first of all, we treat them by adding **water** to moisten them and make them softer."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question asks what is used to soften the pellets. The substance used is "**water**."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The word "**moisten**" is a synonym for soften, and "**pellets**" is the object being softened.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Identify the **material or substance** used in a specific step of a process.

📝 Question 29: Here 28 ....... is used to soften them, and the researchers look for the 29 ....... of Asian bees in the pellets.

🔹 Correct Answer: wings

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Everything's all scrunched up but we're looking for **wings** so we just pull them all out and straighten them. Then we identify them to see if we can find any Asian bee **wings**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The researchers are looking for the "**wings**" of the Asian bees.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio mentions **skeleton** as what is coughed up, but the researchers specifically look for the **wings**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Distinguish between the general material (skeleton) and the **specific item of interest** (wings).

📝 Question 30: The benefit of this research is that the result is more 30 ....... than searching for live Asian bees.

🔹 Correct Answer: reliable/accurate

📍 Location in Audio Script: "So far our research shows that Asian bees have not entered Australia in any number – it's a good result and much more **reliable** than trying to find live ones as evidence of introduced insects."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The benefit is that the method is much more "**reliable**" than the alternative. The synonym **accurate** may also be acceptable.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The words "**good result**" are mentioned but are not the general benefit/quality of the method.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The phrase "**more... than**" signposts an **adjective** that describes the key benefit of the method.

📝 Question 31: In order to set up her research programme, Shona got

A advice from personal friends in other countries.

B help from students in other countries.

C information from her tutor's contacts in other countries.

🔹 Correct Answer: B

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...I approached **postgraduates** in my field in overseas departments, contacting them by email, to organise things for me at their end. I thought I would have trouble recruiting help but in fact everyone was very willing and sometimes their tutors got involved too."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Shona approached **postgraduates** (a type of **student**) in other countries for help. This directly matches Option B.

⚠️ Potential Traps:

• The **tutors** sometimes got involved (related to C), but her primary point of contact was the **students**.
• Personal friends (A) are not mentioned; the contacts were academic.

⭐ Key Learning Point: **Paraphrasing** is key: "**postgraduates**" = "**students**."

📝 Question 32: What types of people were included in the research?

A young people in their first job

B men who were working

C women who were unemployed

🔹 Correct Answer: B

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...I decided at this stage just to focus on **men who were in employment**, and set up something for people who didn't have jobs and for employed women later on as a separate investigation."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Shona states she chose to focus on **men who were in employment**. This matches Option B.

⚠️ Potential Traps:

• Under 18 (potentially young people/first job, A) were **excluded**.
• Unemployed women (C) were deferred to a "**separate investigation**," meaning they were **not included at this stage**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **exclusionary phrases** (excluded, deferred to later) to rule out distractors and focus on the current chosen sample (**focus on**).

📝 Question 33: Shona says that in her questionnaire her aim was

A to get a wide range of data

B to limit people’s responses

C to guide people through interviews.

🔹 Correct Answer: A

📍 Location in Audio Script: "With the questionnaire, rather than limiting it to one specific point, I wanted to include **as much variety as possible**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Shona's aim was to include "**as much variety as possible**," which is a clear paraphrase of getting a **wide range of data** (Option A).

⚠️ Potential Traps:

• Limit people’s responses (B) is what she was trying to avoid ("**rather than limiting it**...").
• Interviews (C) were planned as a **separate method** to counteract the effects of the questionnaire.

⭐ Key Learning Point: In research methodology, identify the key characteristics of the tool being discussed: questionnaires are often used to gather a **wide range of data** before more focused interviews.

📝 Question 34: What do Shona’s initial results show about medical services in Britain?

A Current concerns are misrepresented by the press

B Financial issues are critical to the government

C Reforms within hospitals have been unsuccessful

🔹 Correct Answer: A

📍 Location in Audio Script: "...despite the fact that newspapers continually report that people are unhappy with medical care, in fact it is mainly the third level of care, which takes place in hospitals, that they are worried about... long-term hospital care is in fact probably **less of an issue than the media would have us believe**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Shona notes that the media/newspapers **misrepresent** the level of concern, which is **less of an issue than the media would have us believe**. This means current concerns are **misrepresented by the press** (Option A).

⚠️ Potential Traps:

• The focus is on the level of care (GPs vs. hospitals), not explicitly financial issues (B) or the success of reforms (C), though those are mentioned. The main finding is the **misrepresentation by the media** (A).

⭐ Key Learning Point: The answer to questions about public opinion often revolves around contrasting reality with **perception** (especially media perception).

📝 Question 35: Shona needs to do further research in order to

A present the government with her findings

B decide the level of extra funding needed

C identify the preferences of the public

🔹 Correct Answer: C

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Certainly I will need to do more far-reaching research than I had anticipated in order to **establish if people want** extra medical staff invested in the community, or if they want care to revert to fewer, but larger, key medical units."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Shona needs to find out if people want one type of care model or the other. This means she needs to **identify the preferences of the public** (Option C).

⚠️ Potential Traps: The eventual solution may be implemented by the government, but the research is needed to determine the public's **preference** (C). Funding (B) is implied but not the specific decision point.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The word "**establish if people want**" is a direct signpost for determining the public's **preferences**.

📝 Question 36: Shona has learnt from the research project that

A it is important to plan projects carefully

B people do not like answering questions

C colleagues do not always agree

🔹 Correct Answer: C

📍 Location in Audio Script: "But I was taken aback and rather concerned that something I thought I'd set up very well didn't necessarily seem that way to **everyone in my own department**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Shona was surprised that her **colleagues** (people in her department) viewed her well-set-up project differently. This is a paraphrase of **colleagues do not always agree** (Option C).

⚠️ Potential Traps: B is contradicted by the audio ("I was surprised by how willing most of the subjects were to get involved..."). A is something she thought she did well, not what she learned.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The learning point is often related to a **surprise or a personal revelation** about human behavior or professional interactions.

📝 Questions 37-40: Match people interviewed by Shona with the statement that applies to them.

📝 Question 37: a person interviewed in the street

🔹 Correct Answer: B

📍 Location in Audio Script: "**one of the subjects who I had approached while he was out shopping in town**, decided to **pull out** when it came to the second round."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The person approached while shopping (**interviewed in the street**) decided to **pull out** (Option B).

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio clearly states he **decided to pull out**.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Use the specific **location** (**out shopping in town**) to identify the person.

📝 Question 38: an undergraduate at the university

🔹 Correct Answer: F

📍 Location in Audio Script: "And one of the **first-year students** [undergraduates] I interviewed wanted **reassurance that no names would be traceable** from the answers."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The **first-year student** (undergraduate) was worried about **confidentiality** (**no names would be traceable**) (Option F).

⚠️ Potential Traps: The surprise of the interview is not the answer; the **reason for the surprise** is the answer (worry about confidentiality).

⭐ Key Learning Point: In academic settings, concerns often revolve around **confidentiality** or **ethics**.

📝 Question 39: a colleague in her department

🔹 Correct Answer: D

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Then, **one of the people that I work with** [colleague] got a bit funny... **one minute he said he'd do it, then the next day he wouldn't**, and in the end he did do it."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The **colleague** kept switching between saying he would do it and he wouldn't. This means he kept **changing their mind about participating** (Option D).

⚠️ Potential Traps: Getting angry (E) is what Shona felt, not the colleague's action.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for a description of **inconsistent behavior** ("one minute... then the next day...") to match to the correct description of indecision.

📝 Question 40: a tutor in a foreign university

🔹 Correct Answer: C

📍 Location in Audio Script: "The most bizarre case was a telephone interview I did with a **teacher at a university in France** [tutor in a foreign university]... when I asked how much access he had to dangerous substances he **wouldn't tell me exactly what his work involved**."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The French **tutor** wouldn't tell Shona about his work (**his job**) in detail (Option C).

⚠️ Potential Traps: **Dangerous substances** is the topic of the refusal, not the answer.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The refusal (**wouldn't tell me**) is the key to matching the answer (**refusal to tell Shona about their job**).
