Solution Tips

Make sure you listen carefully the beginning of the recording. Because beginning part is very important to understand the topic. If you get it, it will be pretty much easy for you to follow the audio.​ ​ Focus on the major parts of the map/plan where the main directional or navigational languages are used. ​ Take short notes in your own style whatever you are comfortable with. There is nothing wrong writing and taking notes on the question paper. ​

Read the instruction sentence carefully and try to understand and then predict the answer before you start hearing the clip. ​ The word that you need to answer might be a location, a building, a direction, an adjective, a verb, an adverb etc. Try to predict the type of word that you might need for your answer. ​ Try to visualize the scenario. Put yourself into the audience's position who the speaker is describing to.
