USE QUESTION KEYWORDS TO FIND THE ANSWERS
 

The keywords or keyphrases in the questions help you in your search for the answers. This is true fo both the Listening and Reading Sub-tests.

You must choose which word or phrase to listen for on the tape, or search for in the reading passages. There may be more than one keyword or keyword phrase in a question, and they can be placed before or after the answer.

For example:
Question is:

bla-bla-bla .. sound the (19)………………….moments before it collided with traffic .. bla-bla-bla
                              /
                Destination keyphrase


In the tape recode you listening following phrase:

… Witnesses told reports that they heard the lorry
          /                                          /                /                 

Since topic keywords and keyphrases are heard or read some time before or after the answer is found, they are similar in function to street signposts; they can point forwards to where you are going or back to where you came from.



Circle the important keywords or phrases before you listen or search for the answer.
