one options they discuss all the options they speak about two options negatively or oppositely and they speak about one option positively and that is your answer and do not expect that in the audio they will speak about a first then B then C C like that okay they may start from C then they go to option A then they come to option b so you need to First Catch the option which is being discussed and after that you need to decide is this the right one or is this the Trap one I tell tell you question number 11 what is the maximum number of people who can stand on each side of the boat this is a boat what is it stand all right okay so this is a boat what is the maximum number of people which can stand on each side of the boat this side and this side maximum for example nine 15 or 18 so

a tour guide Lou Miller speaking to a group of people about a boat trip they are going to take around the Australian island of Tasmania so hello everyone my name's Lou Miller and I'm going to be your tour guide today as we take this fantastic bow trip around the Tasmanian Coast post before we set off I just want to tell you a few things about our journey our boats aren't huge as you can see we already have three staff members on board and on top of that we can transport a further 15 people that's you around the coastline but please note if there are more than nine people on either side of the boat we'll move some of you over otherwise all 18 of us will end up in the sea nine he said otherwise all 18 of us will end in the sea and you know his name is very interesting Lou okay that's right so what is the answer 15 no 18 He said all 18 of us will end in the sea yeah on each side nine and he said otherwise we'll have to shift some of you here to balance the boat so correct answer answer is n and you noticed they they discussed 9 15 and 18 so it's not that you hear nine nine is the answer no you got to make sure whatever they say about nine about 15 about 18 what's the correct one okay just let's listen to it again you will hear a tour guide Lou Miller speaking to a group of people about a boat trip they are going to take around the Australian island of Tasmania so hello everyone my name's Lou Miller and I'm going to be be your tour guide today as we take this fantastic boat trip around the Tasmanian Coast before we set off I just want to tell you a few things about our journey our boats aren't huge as you can see we already have three staff members on board and on top of that we can transport a further 15 people that's you around the coastline but please note if there are more than nine people on either side of the boat we'll move some of you over otherwise all 18 of us will end up in the sea okay all right question number 12 what color are the tour boats now listen again they will confuse you what color are the tour boats and by the way you know when we talk about the color of tour boats that's the color we see from outside okay now if they say uh our tour boats have got uh Brown seats so is the color of tour Boo brown Brown no Brown is the color of seats if they say our tour boats are light green from inside is that the color no the color from outside that matters now the color of seats will be a trap the interior color will be a trap only you need to look for exterior right I just play this we've recently upgraded all our boats they used to be jet black but our new ones now have these comfortable dark red seats and a light green exterior in order to stand out from others and help promote our company this gives our boats rather yeah jet black good jet black they said no no they said used to be used to be H okay so used to be right jet black and then the seats are dark red so correct answer is light green but on your answer sheet what will you write C is the right answer let's listen to it again we've recently upgraded all our boats they used to be jet black they used to be past tense okay because question is what color are the tour boats are are means present if the question was what color were the tour boats then you could write jet black okay yeah but our new ones now have these comfortable dark red seats now the new ones have comfortable dark red seats in red seats and a light green exterior light green exterior very good okay let's go on question number 13 which lunch boox is suitable for someone who doesn't eat meat or fish what do we call the person who doesn't eat meat or fish vegetarian so they they have three lunch boxes now you will look for a lunchbox which does not contain any type of meat or fish that will be the answer for example to say lunchbox one we've got very delicious vegetables and you can also enjoy chicken will that be the answer no lunchbox too well this is very good for someone who likes to eat salad and we also have fish no so lunchbox without fish or any type of meat and for meat okay so correct answer is option b because of cheddar cheese option A is wrong because of ham and tomato option C is wrong because of tuna question number 14 what should people do with their litter you know litter one lit 2 lit 3 liter no what is litter garbage litter is garbage or trash so what should people do with their litter now by the way if you didn't find the spelling of litter correctly you can write it from here okay go back to question number one question number one that is litter you can just do it like this all right what should people do with their litter take it home like they'll say you should keep your litter in your bag and take it homea good option b hand it to a member of Staff if they say one of us will collect it from you and put it in a big bag one of us means member of staff and option C put it in the bins provided on the boat if they say on the boat we have large dust bins you can put your litter over there and if they say unfortunately we don't have bins in our boat so you should keep your Litter with you and when you go back you can put it in an appropriate place or anything like that so let's see question number 14 I'm sure I don't have to ask you not to throw anything into the sea we don't have any bins to put litter in but Jess myself or Ray our other guide will collect it from you after lunch and put it all in a large plastic sack B hand it to a member Jack this or that we'll collect it from you and put it in a large sack so B is the right answer okay all right let's go on yeah Focus questions 15 and 16 this is what we call Double multiple choice have you watched that movie Double the Trouble yeah so this is double multiple choice now out of five you will select two before that out of three you selected one so listen method is same mechanism is same questions 15 and 16 choose two letters a to e which two features of the lighthouse do you know Lighthouse yeah old times they used to have Lighthouse for navigation and all that so which two features of the lighthouse does Lou mention you know Lou yeah to our guide yeah Lou Lou oh gosh Lou is another word for washroom yeah in British English they use the word Lou I had a British friend Stella and once she came to my house and he said where is the Lou where is the Lou l means washroom so actually his name is Lou his name is washroom all right okay okay huh your I knew that I said just go that way look at him huh you're underestimating me what was my answer where is the L yeah it's nice we eat it sometimes it's good tomato ketchup L very tasty okay yeah l z plus all right okay choose two letters a to e which two features of the lighthouse does Lou mention listen now two features he's going to mention and those two features are given here positively other three features he will mention them negatively now I tell you what is positive what is negative a why it was built if he says uh we still don't know the purpose of building this Lighthouse will a be the answer no If he if he says we still don't know why this Lighthouse was built will a be the answer no because he said we don't know and if he says well this Lighthouse was built for navigation purpose so it means he's speaking positively so again I'm telling you everyone please Focus now right SI which two features of the lighthouse two features and he will speak about them positively B who built it if he says even today it is unknown that who built this Lighthouse and if he says this Lighthouse was built by King Alford or whatever see how long it took to build if he says it took around 50 years to complete this Lighthouse then it is the answer but if he doesn't tell how long did it take to build the lighthouse it's not the answer who staffed it who staffed it means the people who are doing job there who are they for example if I say this Lighthouse is staffed by ex Military Officers or managed by right managed by or staffed by exmilitary officers what does it mean who staffed it means ex military officers are working there so if in the audio they tell us about the stuffing if they say all the staff members are exmilitary officers then this is the answer and if he says we don't know it's not that option e what what it was built with what is that material if he says it was built with stone it was built with concrete it was built with iron or anything like that okay now another problem they will discuss all five options but they will not discuss them in order so just listen carefully and see what is the answer and this time you will tell me the answer at the end of the audio when audio stops so 15 and 16 the engine on the boat makes quite a lot of noise so before we head off let me tell you a few things about what you're going to see this area is famous for its ancient Lighthouse which you'll see from the boat as we turned past the first Little Island it was built in 1838 to protect Sailors as a number of shipwrecks had led to significant loss of life the construction itself was complicated as some of the original drawings kept by the local Council show it sits right on on top of the cliffs in a very isolated spot in the 19th century there were many jobs there such as polishing the brass lamps chopping firewood and cleaning windows that kept Lighthouse Keepers busy these workers were mainly prison convicts until the middle of that century when ordinary families willing to live in such circumstances took over so how many of you say A B C D E well done correct answer is a for apple why it was built he said to protect the sailors I'll play it again he used the word to protect the sailors okay then the next correct answer who built it they don't they don't mention how long it took to build he just built it he just said it was built a century ago or something like that but he did not mention the duration okay and then they said who staffed it now this is the second correct answer because he said the staff members they were prison convicts you know what is the prison convict the prisoners they are given some jobs like from one of the neighboring countries I saw some people working in Pakistan from one of the neighboring countries I don't want to name that country and then they told me that these people who are making Ro roads road construction in gilgit baltistan they said these people are prison convicts like they were punished for 10 years and 8 years and 20 years and now they are brought here and they are working all that okay so we call them prison convicts CI right and then what it was built with material they did not mention now please listen again carefully the engine on the boat makes quite a lot of noise so before we head off let me tell you a few things about what you're going to see this area is famous for its ancient Lighthouse which you'll see from the boat as we turn past the first Little Island it was built in 1838 okay it was built in 1838 now how long it took to build no he said it was built in 1838 point of time is mentioned period is not mentioned so C is not the right answer protect Sailors as a number of shipwreck okay to protect Sailors that is option A where is it gosh the engine on the pass the first Little Island it was built in 1838 to protect Sailors as a number of ship wrecks had led to significant loss of life the construction itself was complicated at the construction itself was complicated but they didn't mention the material with which it was built some of the original drawings kept by the local Council show it sits right on top of the cliffs in a very isolated spot okay still no mention of who built it in the 19th century there were many jobs there s yeah there were many jobs job is related to staff there have many jobs there as polishing the brass lamps chopping firewood and cleaning windows that kept Lighthouse Keepers busy now these workers were mainly prison convicts these workers were mainly prison convicts now just remember this word prison convict prison convict like prisoners they are taken to construct roads and other stuff like that okay question 17 and 18 please come to that choose two letters a to e which two types of creature might come close to the boat two types of creature might come close to the boat now will go on the boat if they say uh from the boat you will see crocodiles at the distance so they will not come close to the boat if they say well on the boat you will see sea eagles they will fly around you so sea eagles will be the answer now two animals because a is Sea Eagle B is f you know seal it's a sea animal seal option C Dolphins option D Veals and option e Penguins now the animals or creatures which will come closer to the boat will be the answer and the creatures which you will see at the distance that will not be the answer for example whales what do you expect if whales come closer then the boat is going to cap size or anything like that okay so two type of animals which are going to come closer please listen carefully and they will talk about all animals in any order they will not follow ABC some of you have asked asked me what creatures we can expect to see I know everyone loves the Penguins but they're very shy and unfortunately tend to hide from passing boats but you might see birds in the distance such as sea eagles flying around the cliff edges where they nest when we get to the rocky area inhabited by first seals we'll stop and watch them swimming around the coast their inquisit creatures so don't be surprised if one pops up right in front of you their predators orca whales hunt along the coastline too but spotting one of these is rare dolphins on the other hand can sometimes approach on their own or in groups as they ride the waves beside us okay B and C well done first seals popup and all that and then dolphins and penguins are shy they don't come SE Eagles you'll see at the distance good job please come to questions 19 and 20 choose two letters a to e which two points does Lou yeah which two points does Lou make about the caves like sounds like you know the typical word for Lou is B just imagine someone's name is B Kal all right which two points does Lou make about the caves now what what are the points about caves they will talk about caves imagine caves goofa and all that okay option A only large tourist boats can visit them now if in the audio it says uh we'll go there in small tourist boats or you can go there in small tourist boat or Cano Cano is a small boat option b entrance to them are often blocked if he says entrance to them what do they mean by them C caves well done uh so if entrance to them are often blocked it is the right answer but if they say entrance is always open there's no problem then this is not the right answer C it is too dangerous for individuals to go near them near them means near the caves and if he says you can go near them on your own or later on you can go there on your own it is quite safe so this is not the right answer just understand how they speak oppositely or negatively option D someone will explain what is inside them if they say a tourist guide will explain what is inside them and if they say you can go inside and see what are the things there right option e they cannot be reached on foot they means caves caves cannot be reached on foot and if he says from there we'll take you to the caves on foot or if they say we'll walk to the caves after that walk to the caves means you'll walk so again Focus opposite or negative let's start lastly I want to mention the caves Tasmania is famous for its caves and the ones will pass by are so amazing that people are lost for words when they see them they can only be approached by C but if you feel that you want to see more than we're able to show you then you can take a kayak into the area on another day and one of us staff will give you more information on that what we'll do is to go through a narrow channel past some incredible rck formations and from there we'll be able to see the openings to the caves and at that point we'll talk to you about what lies Beyond and all right correct answer is B and C okay guys now please listen carefully the correct answer is option D someone will explain what is inside them and for someone he said tourist guide okay and then option e they cannot be reached on foot now I'm going to play the audio once again and I will stop where there is the right answer and where there is the wrong answer please be with me lastly I want to mention the caves Tasia is famous for its caves and the ones will pass by are so amazing that people are lost for words when they see them they can only be approached by C they can only be approached by C option e they cannot be reached on foot they can only be approached by c means they cannot be see how clever they are how complicated they make Isles for us so they cannot be reached by they can only be reached by C they cannot be reached on foot so first correct answer is option e now please come to option A but if you feel that you want to see more than we're able to show you then you can take a kayak into the you can take a kayak now kayak you don't know this word see that they check your high level English kayak is a small boat you can check on YouTube kayak is a small boat and you can take it on your own and they ALS have you seen yeah I show I tell you sometimes you see there is a boat a long one and one person is rowing that only that is what they call kayak so just write kayak and you will see all this thing yeah so they said only large boats can visit them no kayak is a small boat that can go there so a is not the right answer now please come to option b area on another day and one of our star will give you more information on that okay that is option D one of our staff will give you more information on that that is someone will explain but let's go on what we'll do is to go through a narrow channel past some incredible rock formations and from there we'll be able to see the openings to the caves okay we'll be able to see the openings to the caves but they did not say entrance to them are often blocked openings we will see but they did not say they are blocked so B is not the right answer now and at that point we'll talk to you about what lies Beyond okay at that point we will talk to you what lies beyond that is option D someone will explain what is inside them what is inside them means what lies beyond what lies Beyond right practice don't worry initially these things look difficult but gradually they'll become easier thank you okay guys now we got section two and there are five questions four questions actually so we'll try to get all the answers this is what we call table completion and table has columns and the audio and the questions they are always in order in is listing but in multiple choice questions options are not in order questions are in order so uh complete the table below basic information no more than three words and or a number you should keep this in mind no more than three words and or a number and one more thing you can do you can consider this when you are transferring your answers to your answer sheet because 10 minute time is more than enough so you can just see carefully this question type is no more than three words this is one word only so then accordingly you can see your answers uh pton on see bus tour I want you to imagine a bus tour you know in laor site seeing bus you can travel in the bus so pacton we don't understand pacton on c means there is a beach and the bus is going along the beach imagine beautiful blue sea and there is a road on the beach and the bus is going and some tourists are there and you are among those tourists huh wow and that is somewhere in Australia or somewhere whatever okay first of all they've got bus stop one and there is no question there right uh after that when they come to bus stop two and they use the word aquarium then you have to do active listening during your listening test you don't have to be active all the time right I mean for example they start the audio it's going on you're not actively listening you're just waiting for aquarium right when they use the word aquarium then they say question number 11 dolphins and dash logically we are talking about aquarium they cannot say dolphins and cows aquarium guy okay they cannot say dolphins and Buffalos dolphins and donkeys it's going to be another sea creature answer is going to be another sea creature like dolphins and turtles dolphins and veils dolphins and something like that okay now one more thing underline the word and and is rewarded in Isles in a number of different ways for and they can use as well as for and they can use also for and they can use or o r or for and they can also say and we have also in included and then there'll be another one so any word now you got to wait for aquarium then you have to wait for dolphins and after Dolphins whatever second sea creature is that'll be your answer thank you for calling the phone line for the pton on SE bus tour this is a recorded message lasting approximately 4 minutes and it provides general information on the town bus tour pton on SE is a beautiful West Coast Town and has attracted tourists for many years one of the best ways of getting to know the town is to take the bus tour which provides a wonderful viewing experience from one of our open top buses the tour is a round trip of the town and there are a total of four stops where passengers can get on and off the bus a lot of people start at the first stop which is at the train station as this is where many tourists arrive in the town the next stop after the station is the aquarium which is famous for its Dolphin Show and which has recently expanded to include sharks recently expanded to include sh shars Shak yeah shars s h a r k s now one more thing whenever they use and and with and another word is plural you will write the next word plural as well so they've mentioned dolphins and sharks very good all clear and noticed one thing for one minute the audio went on B B B B ba but when they said the word aquarium now you are doing active listening before that passively he was enjoying okay okay yeah he was saying come to the point come to the point then I'll listen to you okay now we have bus stop number three this question is a bit complicated but I try my level best to elaborate and then I see your reaction usually students have the wrong answer but I tell you okay bus stop number three they will talk about the bus stop and location so they will say you will arrive at the when they say arrive the word at is used for location the word on is used I mean preposition add preposition on they are used for location so if he says after that we will arrive at the and then they will talk about something so that is going to be the answer right let's see this is well worth a visit and is very reasonably priced leaving the aquarium the bus tour goes along the coast Road and after a few kilometers comes to the old fishing village where you can get off to yes absolutely comes to the she said comes to the old fishing village now if you miss uh any word your answer will be wrong because it's it's a proper noun old fishing Village comes to thee now to thee to is preposition of location right so comes to the old fishing Village very good okay then the audio will continue bus stop now question number 13 Dash Center under the word Center for Center they might use the word Hub or they might use the word it's very popular for for example if I say music center right for music center I'll say it's a hub of Music Hub of Music means Music Center answer is music I can also say it's uh very popular for music it's very popular for music means it's a music center so for Center they might use the word Hub or they might might use the word popular okay let's see there are some original buildings here but most of the area has been modernized and is now used as a harbor for all kinds of sea craft including yachts and some amazing power boats the tour then heads off to the last stop and this is where most of the shops are so for those of you Keen to do a bit of shopping this is the place for you shopping exactly those who are keen on shopping this is the place for you place for you means Center all right place for you clear shopping will be the right answer s h o p i n g exactly that's what I want you to see s h o p i n g shoing okay question number 14 they've written very old Dash underline very old and give me the other word for very old ancient whatever they speak after ancient that'll be your answer okay so let's see our advice is to go to this part of the town in the morning when it is relatively quiet it does get very busy in the afternoons especially at the height of the season this area of the Town includes an ancient water fountain where many people like to have their photograph taken ancient water fountain water fountain fa yeah so water fountain for very old they use the word ancient I'm just playing this last part this area of the Town includes an ancient water fountain ancient water fountain okay all right okay guys let's go on questions 15 to 20 complete the sentences below write no more than two words N or a number so we've got two words one word and all that question number 15 you need to have a dash to buy a ticket for £10 uh this is the very old technique you need to have something to buy a ticket for £10 now they will give you the prices of the tickets first price can be £15 second price can be1 third price can be10 and then they they say if you have so if you have Dash then you can buy a ticket for £10 right so you need to have now underline you need to have and write there as long as you have a as long as you have a now you will focus the ticket price of £10 if they say £15 you will not write that that answer if they say 20 you will not write the answer they'll say it's £10 only as long as you have membership pass answer is membership pass something like that okay now I play the audio huh now some details of the costs and timings a family ticket which includes two adults and to three children costs $30 an adult ticket costs $15 children under the age of 15 are $5 and student tickets are $10 as long as you have a student card see that as long as you have a student card $10 and she started from $30 and $5 and $15 and all that now you understand active listening and passive listening when she said $10 you changed your mod from passive to active good huh yeah you're absolutely right this is the mistake in the book this is Cambridge is book and they have this mistake you're absolutely right this is the mistake in the book you you can complain where do you want to go to your destination Country Canada so when you reach there just tell them huh okay you're absolutely right this is pound and this is the mistake here I'm glad that you noticed that yeah out of 40 students one noticed B Yeah question number 16 bus T lasts underline the word lasts and lasts means duration bus tour lasts for example you travel from Lor to Karachi it lasts 1 hour 45 minutes or two hours now they will tell you from this place to this place 15 minutes from there to there 20 minutes right and then they will talk about whole tour and one good thing there are around three to four traps here in this question but what you're going to focus bus tour lasts Dash in total bus tour last means the duration of the whole tour in total okay let's see all tickets are valid for 24 hours which means that you can get on and off the bus as many times as you like within a 24hour period okay so the answer is that's not the answer yes absolutely yeah and all that okay 24 hours is not the answer she said 24 the ticket lasts I mean that's the validity of the ticket okay so everything you hear is not an answer all tickets are valid for 24 hours which means that you can get on and off the bus as many times as you like within a 24-hour period so you could for example start the tour in the afternoon and complete it the following morning the first bus of the day leaves the station at 10:00 a.m. and the last one of the day leaves at 6:00 p.m. buses leave every 30 minutes and each tour takes a total of 50 50 minutes yeah see there so many traps each tour takes a total of 50 minutes right 24 hours and afternoon and this and that 50 Whenever there is a number right number in digits 5 Z and then minutes 50 minutes minutes okay now you can write minutes says m i n u t s or you can write m i ns the short form of minutes right but full word is fine minutes okay question number 17 cost of the bus ticket includes underline the word includes for includes they use the word free for includes they use the word uh like it is the part of the ticket or it is included uh the cost of the bus tour includes entrance to the dash entrance to the dash means okay for includes they use the word you don't have to pay it includes it is included you don't have to pay extra you will not be charged for example if they say the cost of the bus ticket includes uh uh okay we just miss entrance to the we imagine it's breakfast uh so the cost of the bus ticket includes breakfast so they'll say uh breakfast is included in the price of the bus ticket with the with the price of the bus ticket you get free breakfast or breakfast is included you don't have to pay extra for breakfast you will not be charged for breakfast any word like that will be the answer sir now let's see includes entrance to the entrance means a gallery or a place where you will enter entrance to the cinema entrance to the gallery so it's going to be a building or a place let's see there are many attractions at each of the stops so wherever you get off the bus there will be plenty to do the bus tour tickets do not include entrance to any of these attractions apart from the museum which is located apart from the museum now please includes underline that and write there apart from the bus ticket does not include any of these attractions apart from the museum apart from the museum means museum is included good question number 18 so the answer is Museum m o m u s e u M Museum good question number 18 you can listen to an audio commentary which has been made by now which goes where which is relative pronoun here which means what audio commentary which means come on read it there you can listen to an audio commentary which has been made by it means audio commentary has been made by who who or what audio commentary has been made by now just listen carefully they'll say you can listen to the audio commentary this commentary has been prepared by or audio commentary by right so let's see it can be the person or something some buses have local guides who will point out places of interest and will provide information on the town however we cannot guarantee that every bus will have a guide and so we also have an audio commentary that has been specially recorded for the bus tour by the tourist office that has been especially recorded made by and for that they used recorded by the tourist office so the answer is tourist office clear see that if you understand the question you will find the answer yes question number 19 if the weather is wet what is wet weather rain in yeah what is wet weather rain if the weather is wet it's a good idea to bring umbrella right now let's see if it is umbrella or anything else okay wet weather wet weather means rain due to the winter months being rather cold and wet inact and on sea the bus tours only operate from March to September the weather is usually warm and sunny during these months so remember to bring some sun protection especially on hot days some that's a trap that is during hot days not this okay all right now let's go on now you understand they chak and of course it does occasionally rain here in the summer so if the weather looks bad remember to bring some rain wear R rain where how do you spell where w a r e exactly rain we we e a r absolutely that's right good all right that's it enough rain ve clear rain and wear yeah not W I was I was going to say w h e r we now how do you understand I mean you will understand from the word rain with rain you cannot say w a r e like Warehouse you cannot say w h e r e like where so it's going to be where w e a that's what we say weer it's actually we rain we okay question number 20 don't forget to bring your dash when you book online now for online booking you need to bring something huh reip receipt okay can be right online booking now let's see at the height of the summer the tours can get very busy so you are advised to book you can book tickets online over the phone and also at the station and at any of the other tour stops when booking over the phone you can collect your tickets at any of the stops at the start of your tour when you do it online you can print your e ticket which you must remember to bring with you e which you must remember to bring with you don't forget to bring which you must remember to bring with you so the answer is e ticket now you can write e ticket e Dash and ticket or you can write it all together e ticket together like we write email so that's fine perfectly fine okay so far so good okay guys now we do multiple

[Laughter] right welcome to this podcast about the Sheep Market which is one of the oldest parts of the city as its name suggests there was originally a market here where Farmers brought their sheep

the market workers used to live employees in the local Market no they are replacing those houses where Market workers used to live got it so correct answer is a and if you solve every multiple choice question like this listening to it again and again and realizing what is wrong what is because in multiple choice option two options are wrong once you start realizing the wrong options you will find the right answer okay whenever you're going to be trapped you will be trapped by a wrong option and you will take it like the right one question number 12 the speaker recommends the side streets in the Sheep market now question is about side street side street in the street market for there now listen what is special for side street that will be your answer a international restaurants now if they say in the side street there are many local restaurants will they be the answer no because opposite option b historical buildings if they say all the historical buildings are on the Main Street then even B is not the right answer and if they say this side street is famous for some of the old buildings then B can be the right answer C arts and crafts now listen for art they can use Music sculpture painting drawing for crafts they can use woodwork handicrafts or anything now whatever side street is famous for that'll be your answer and they are going to speak about all three options right let's see the narrow old side streets are great places for finding original pictures jewelry and Ceramics which won't break the bank as well as local produce like fruit and vegetables there's also lots of pavement cafes where you can have a coffee and watch tourists from all over the world go by the oldest buildings in the area are on the main streets including the city's first department store built in the 1880s which is still open today good how many of you say a is the correct answer well done now B well done how many of you say raise your hands be confident well done excellent and how many of you say C good Absolutely I'll play this again uh write down a code c a c a b answer came in the first part of the audio when he talked about jewelry and all that okay now please focus and listen the narrow old side streets are great places for finding original pictures jewelry and Ceramics which pictures jewelry Ceramics they are art and crafts got it side street is a good place to find so C is the correct answer now he going to confuse you listen now please come to option A won't break the bank as well as local produce like fruit and vegetables there's also lots of pavement cafes where you can can have a coffee and watch tourists from all over the world go by okay there are some cafes where you can see tourists from all over the world now did this say anything that the cafes are international so a will not be the right answer clear because the word International is not mentioned now please come to option b hi the oldest buildings in the area are on the main streets and the oldest buildings in the area are on the Main Street so they are not there okay so correct answer is C but you realized one thing without eliminating wrong answers you cannot reach the right answer if you're only listening for words they say restaurant you say a they say historical building you say B right so if you're listening word I'm sorry if you're listening word by word then you will do it like this and if you understand about restaurants they didn't say International restaurants about historical buildings he said they are on the Main Street not the SES Street let's go on

is going to model this is not mentioned so that is why a is not the right answer let's go on question number 14 car parking is free in some car Parks if you now what is it that you do and then car parking is free Okay so let's see like uh once you went to Murray there was a guy he said if you eat in our restaurant then parking is free and if you eat in their restaurant the bill is going to be 56,000 from a from a local restaurant they charge that much okay so anyways car parking is free in some car Parks if you option A stay for less than an hour so less than 60 minutes parking is free after 1 hour they will charge you for the parking so stay less than an hour B buy something in the shops simple yeah you know there's one Chen one here if you do some shopping then parking is free so what do the people do they Park their car then they buy socks from there or any any item and even the socks are expensive 400 500 and all that but still people do that okay so buy something in the shops and see Park in the evening or weekend now if they say in the evening or weekend parking is free right so when is parking free that is your answer parking at the sheet Market is easy there are plenty of pay and display car parking spaces on the road sides which are fine if you just want to stay for an hour or two but if you want to spend the day there it's better to park in one of the four underground car Parks it's not expensive and if you can present a receipt from one of the local stores you'll not be charged at all after 600 p.m. many of the car Parks have a flat rate which varies but it is usually very reasonable so after 6:00 p.m. in the evening c b all right C good well done correct answer is B and the order is a b c please listen again you know when I play the audio second time explain that is the time for you to learn and understand and when I play the audio please drop your cups down it's not that you're holding the cup and just doing it like that now listen again parking at the sheet Market is easy there are plenty of pay and display car parking spaces on the road sides which are fine if you just want to stay for an hour or two if you want an hour or two but he didn't mention that it's free he said if you want to stay for an hour or two but the word free is not mentioned now come to option b it's better to park in one of the four underground car Parks it's not expensive and if you can present a receipt from one of the local stores you'll not be charged if you present a receipt from one of the local stores you will not be charged so you will not be charged means free okay after 6 p.m. many of the car Parks have a flat rate which varies but it is usually very reason PM they have flat rate now flat rate doesn't mean it's free yeah they say flat rate P flat rate means P ah we have a map okay guys questions 15 to 20 and we have a map if you understand what I'm going to teach you now you will have no issues with map you'll be very comfortable with map uh whenever they give you the map don't read the questions because questions are only labels 15 rold house 16 thumb 17 Museum you don't get any information from there so don't read the questions if you don't read the questions what do you read you read the map can you see on the map they've given north west east and south so the first thing is on four side of the map on top you write capital n on the left side write capital W on the right side of the map write capital E and at the bottom of the map you can write capital S got it so that when in the audio they say south east west north you go directly because you know West is left East is Right North is top and uh South is bottom okay now then you need to look at the roads can you see Crawley Road can you see City Road can you see Hill Road so you're going to underline and mark the roads now second thing is The Monuments can you see the bank if they say it's in front of the bank option C if they say it's on the same Road next to the bank a can you see Station Square yes right so say from Station Square if you come towards East side this Road leads you to and then answer is going to be G okay can you see Public Gardens and then can you see Hill Road and from Beyond Hill Road if they take you then option b will be the right answer now listen your this hand is going to be on question right for the time being biscuit so this hand is going to be on question and this hand is going to move on the map if they say at the moment we are here at crawly Road right so put your pencil on Crawley Road wherever there is the audio your pencil should move according to the audio right for example I play question number 15 and you can find this the Sheep Market is one of the main centers for art and history in the whole of the country if you look at our map you'll see some of the main attractions there most visitors start from Crawley Road at the bottom of the map the Reynolds house is one of the oldest houses in the city and is open to the public it's on the the north side of Crawley Road next to the footpath that leads to the public gardens next to the footpath that leads to public garden I'm playing it again some of you actually missed it the sheet Market is one of the main centers for art and history in the whole of the country if you look at our map you'll see some of the main attractions there most visitors start from Crawley Road at the B when he says most visitors start from Crawley Road at the bottom so your pencil will come to Crawley Road right now after that bottom of the map the Reynolds house is one of the oldest houses in the city and is open to the public it's on the north side of Crawley Road next to the footpath that leads to the public gardens it's on the north side of Crawley Road next to the foot path that leads to Public Gardens so north side next to footpath that leads to public garden it means this is footpath and answer is H got it next to leads to this type of vocabulary is repeatedly used in every map question you got to learn them right let's go on question number 16 the sheet Market is one of the main centers for art and history in the whole of the country if you look at our map you'll see some of the main attractions there most visitors start from Crawley Road at the botom got it most visitors start from the Crawley Road at the bottom of the map the Reynolds house is one of the oldest houses in the city and is open to the public it's on the north side of Crawley Road it's on the north side of Crawley Road now this is Crawley Road north

the road across the road means like you say romantically there so correct answer is C now those who are saying a please listen to it the area is particularly interesting for its unusual sculptures the thumb is just what its name suggests but it's about 10 m high you'll see it on Hill Road across the road from the bank okay you will see it on Hill Road across the road from the bank [Laughter] next all right so it's across the road across the road mean across the road means other side of the road opposite side of the road and those saying option A that is adjacent that is next to across means opposite side across a c r o s so correct answer is c yeah they always give one option so that those who don't understand they will just write it now you guys understand good question number 17 Museum
