- IntermediateThe host says “let us go through the three difficulties the guest raised”. What does that line do?
- IntermediateThe recording gives a target figure and an actual result. Asked for the gap, what should you do?
- IntermediateAsked for the step the speaker considers most critical, with five steps mentioned, how do you choose?
- ChallengeThe speaker closes with “all this is only a preliminary idea”. How should the earlier figures be understood?
- ChallengeA recording carries both support and opposition, and the question asks for the consensus. What should you write?

03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30 / 20 = 1.5 minutes each. | Work out the average first so you know when a question is overrunning. |
| 2 | 4 x 30 = 120 seconds, that is 2 minutes. | Tidying time is limited, so budget it per section. |
| 3 | Answer in labelled points: two causes and one suggestion, each mapped to the demand. | Labelled points are easy to mark and easy to count. |
| 4 | The post is more stable since names can sound alike; record both. | Similar-sounding names are a common trap; a name alone can be misassigned. |
| 5 | It announces three difficulties coming one by one, a clear cue to write. | Phrases like one by one or the following points preview the questions. |
| 6 | Subtract the target from the result and state the direction: short of target or over it. | A gap needs its direction; the number alone is incomplete. |
| 7 | Take the step flagged by a superlative such as most important or critical. | Superlatives are the anchors for ranking and choice questions. |
| 8 | They are provisional, so answers must keep the preliminary qualifier. | A closing qualifier changes how definite the whole passage is. |
| 9 | Only the ground both sides accept; leave disagreements out or mark them separately. | Consensus is not majority opinion; both sides must accept it. |
| 10 | Use the tidy-up only to add missing keywords, never to rewrite. | Tidy-up time is for filling gaps, not for neatening. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
