What the exam is looking for:

Ability to complete sentences with accurate details from the audio.

Tips for Band 7 and Above:

Focus on the word limit: Be aware of the word limit stated in the instructions (e.g., “NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS”). Writing too many words will result in an incorrect answer, even if your answer is otherwise accurate.

Example:

The park will open at ______ next week.

Answer: 9 a.m.

Anticipate the type of answer: Before listening, think about what kind of information is missing in the sentence (e.g., a time, a place, a number). This can help you quickly identify the answer when you hear it in the audio.
