Tips

  • Read the form before the audio starts and guess what kind of word fits each gap (a number? a name? a day?).
  • Names are often spelt out letter by letter — write each letter as you hear it.
  • Speakers often change their mind ("Tuesday… no, actually Wednesday"). The last answer counts.
  • Check the word limit: "NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER".
