Information

Lesson summary:

Episode: 3 of 3

You'll listen to a recording, which could be a description, explanation, or instruction related to a process, object, or structure.

  • You'll be given a diagram with missing labels, representing the topic of the recording.

What to Listen For:

  • Focus on function and purpose: The speaker might describe the overall function of the diagram and the purpose of its different parts.

  • Listen for labels: The speaker might directly mention the labels you need to fill in.

  • Pay attention to details: Catch specific descriptions about the parts of the diagram, such as their location,appearance, or function.

Tips for Answering:

  • Read the diagram instructions: Before listening, understand how many labels you need to fill in and what kind of information might be missing (e.g., names, functions).

  • Predict the labels: Based on the diagram's appearance and the topic, try to anticipate what kind of labels might be needed (e.g., parts of a machine, stages in a process).

  • Don't get hung up on exact wording: The speaker might not use the same words as the answer choices. Focus on understanding the meaning and function.

  • Use process of elimination: If you're unsure between options, eliminate choices that clearly contradict the information in the recording.

Additional Strategies:

  • Match keywords: Look for keywords in the recording that match words or phrases associated with the answer choices.

  • Follow the order: The order in which information is presented in the recording often corresponds to the layout of the diagram.
