🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The answer is directly stated in the audio script. Although the gallery opens at 10, the 'Family Welcome' event starts at 10:30. The time is clearly given, making it a straightforward question.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The mention of 10 am, the opening time of the gallery, could mislead some test-takers who might not listen for the specific start time of the event.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Pay close attention to specific details and time references. Sometimes the overall information is given first but the answer is a more specific detail.

📝 Question 2: The film that is now shown in the ‘Family Welcome’ event is about

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio script clearly states that the film shown is about ceramics. The speaker mentions that "last time they ran the event, there was a film about painting, which went down very well with the children, and they’re now working on one about sculpture". This gives some extra context, but is not part of the answer.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio mentions previous films about "painting" and upcoming films about "sculpture", which are not the answer but could cause confusion.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen carefully for the current subject rather than being confused by previous or future plans.

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Well there are several free concerts taking place at different times – one or two in the morning, the majority at lunchtime, and a couple in the evening"

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio script uses the phrase "the majority at lunchtime" indicating that most concerts take place during lunchtime. The phrase is a key signifier for this question.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio mentions concerts at different times (morning, lunchtime, evening) which could confuse some people. The key is to listen for which time has the "majority".

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be aware of words like "majority", "most", or "few" as these are often used to distinguish between multiple options.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio script mentions other locations for the same concert: the library and the theatre, at different times, which might confuse test takers.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio mentions "Summer Pool" and "Charlesworth Bridge", which are related to the boat race but are not the starting point of the race, and could cause confusion.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Pay attention to the specific information that the question is asking for (in this case the starting point).

📝 Question 6: One of the boat race teams

🔹 Correct Answer: A - won a regional competition earlier this year

📍 Location in Audio Script: "One of them came first in the West of England regional championship in May this year"

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio script directly states that one team won a regional championship this year.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio goes on to state that "it means that next year they’ll be representing the region in the national championship," but this is not a competition they've won, and so not the correct answer.

⭐ Key Learning Point: It is important to distinguish between past, present and future information.

📝 Question 7: Paxton is a good place for seeing rare ____ all year round.

🔹 Correct Answer: birds

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Now I’ve heard something about Paxton Nature Reserve. It’s a good place for spotting unusual birds, isn’t it? That’s right – throughout the year."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio uses the words "spotting unusual birds" and then confirms it is a good place to see them all year round, answering the question.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The text mentions other items that can be seen at the reserve, but not all year round, such as unusual flowers.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen carefully for the specific detail that is asked in the question, such as "all year round."

📝 Question 8: This is a particularly good time for seeing certain unusual _____.

🔹 Correct Answer: flowers

📍 Location in Audio Script: "And just at the moment you can see various flowers that are pretty unusual"

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio clearly states that certain unusual "flowers" can be seen at this particular time.

🔹 Correct Answer: mushrooms

📍 Location in Audio Script: "And there’s going to be a talk and slide show about mushrooms – and you’ll be able to go out and pick some afterwards"

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio uses the phrase "talk and slide show about mushrooms" and confirms visitors can pick them after the presentation.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Other aspects of the nature reserve are discussed, but the focus on learning about and collecting is specific to mushrooms.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for words that connect the two parts of the question such as "learn about" and "collect".

📝 Question 10: Part of the _____ has been made suitable for swimming.

🔹 Correct Answer: river

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Yes. Part of it has been fenced off to make it safe for children to swim in...The lake is too deep, so swimming isn’t allowed there."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio states that a part of the river is fenced off for safe swimming. The lake is also mentioned, but swimming is not allowed there.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The mention of a "lake" could be a trap because swimming is not allowed in the lake.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Again, listen carefully for the key word to determine which location is used for swimming.

PART 1 Audio Script

📝 Question 11: In Shona’s opinion, why do fewer people use buses in Barford these days?

🔹 Correct Answer: C - There are not so many bus routes

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Most people used them frequently, but not now because the bus companies concentrate on just the routes that attract most passengers. So parts of the town are no longer served by buses"

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio states that fewer people use buses because "parts of the town are no longer served by buses." This is a paraphrase of saying "there are not so many bus routes."

⚠️ Potential Traps: While the audio mentions "old uncomfortable buses" and "bus fares are too high," Shona states that replacing the buses has had little impact on numbers and that bus fares are not much higher than they were 50 years ago, which rules these out as correct options.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be aware of paraphrasing. The answer will likely be a rephrasing of the language used in the audio.

📝 Question 12: What change in the road network is known to have benefited the town most?

🔹 Correct Answer: B - the development of cycle paths

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio mentions the centre was closed to traffic and that the attempt to construct a bypass has failed. These are not the best benefit to the town.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Focus on comparative language, like "most," to identify the correct answer.

📝 Question 13: What is the problem affecting shopping in the town centre?

🔹 Correct Answer: B - lack of major retailers

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Most shops are small independent stores, which is good, but many people prefer to use supermarkets and department stores in nearby large towns, as there are so few well-known chain stores here"

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio states that people prefer to shop in other towns because there are "so few well-known chain stores" in Barford, which means there is a "lack of major retailers."

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio also mentions that "new car parks" have been opened, which could cause some confusion, however this does not seem to have fixed the problem.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be aware of indirect language. The answer will often not be a direct quote from the audio.

📝 Question 14: What does Shona say about medical facilities in Barford?

🔹 Correct Answer: A - There is no hospital

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Our hospital closed 15 years ago, which means journeys to other towns are unavoidable."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio specifically states that "Our hospital closed 15 years ago".

📍 Location in Audio Script: "The number of schools and colleges has increased making that the main employment sector."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Although the audio mentions "services" and "manufacturing", it says that services "have grown in importance" and "manufacturing hasn't seen the decline that has affected it in other parts of the country." These are not the largest employment sectors.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for phrases that indicate a comparison between different options, such as "the main".
