a. Look at the instructions
- Quickly review the instructions that tell you how many words you can
write for each answer. For example, ‘No more than two’, or ‘No more than
three’.
- If the instruction is ‘No more than three’, you can write one, two or three
words and/or numbers.
- Underline keywords in the questions.
- Keywords will help you understand the main ideas.
- The questions are like a summary of the information you will hear, so use
the questions to give a general idea of what the topic is about.
b. Analyse the situation
- Who are the speakers?
- Is there a buyer and a seller?
- Is it a news story?
- Is it information about a special event?
- Is it a conversation between a student and a tutor?
- Is it a university lecture?
c. Predict the answers
- Try to guess what the answers are (eg. a name, a number)
- Will the answer be a number, an address, or a piece of information that is
similar to other information in a table or chart?
