Test instructions

What does the speaker say about each facility?

Choose FIVE answers from the box and choose the correct letter, A–G, for each of Questions 16–20.

What this task is

A list of items and a box of lettered descriptions, such as facilities or courses. The speaker covers the items one by one, in the printed order. Match each item to its description.

Read the rubric to see if a letter can be used more than once. When it says a letter may be used more than once, at least one usually is.

The traps

The common mistakes in this question type. Learn to spot each one before test day.

Extra letters in the box

When reuse is not allowed, there are more options than items, so two or three letters match nothing. Guessing from the leftover options is not safe.

The description is paraphrased

The box says "recently improved". The speaker says "they've done a lot of work on it since last year". The letters reward meaning, not word-spotting.

What to do next time

Read the option box before the audio. The same seven options are used for every question.
The items come in printed order. When the speaker names the next item, the previous one is closed. Write something and move on.
If the rubric allows reuse, you can use a letter again. Do not reject an answer only because you used that letter before.
