    You hear four sentences, once only

    1. A They’re loading tools into a van.
    2. B They’re looking at a document. Correct answer
    3. C They’re painting a vehicle.
    4. D They’re climbing a ladder.

    The solution, step by step

    Correct answer: B — They’re looking at a document.

    The method in action

    1. The photo: two men, a plan, a van; the action: looking at the plan.
    2. A and C mention the vehicle, but no one is loading or painting it; no one is climbing a ladder, as D says.
    3. B describes the visible action: the plan is a document. Answer: B.

    Key takeaways

    Describe what people are doing in the photo, not just the objects you see.

    Listen to the recording againDownload

    What you heard

    Woman Kenji, the caterer just called. They can’t deliver lunch for tomorrow’s training session before one o’clock.

    Man That’s too late — the session breaks at noon. Why don’t I ask the café on the ground floor if they can prepare sandwiches for twenty people?

    Woman Good idea. And could you check whether they have vegetarian options?

    What does the man offer to do?

    1. A Reschedule the training session Your answer
    2. B Contact another food supplier Correct answer
    3. C Pick up the lunch himself
    4. D Cancel the catering order

    The solution, step by step

    Correct answer: B — Contact another food supplier.

    The method in action

    1. Read before listening, the question tells you what to listen for: an offer made by the man.
    2. The man speaks second: “Why don’t I ask the café on the ground floor…”
    3. He suggests contacting the café, another food supplier: B says this in different words. A repeats “session,” but the training schedule is not changing; D mentions canceling the order, which the conversation does not say. Answer: B.

    Key takeaways

    Read the questions before listening to know whom to listen to and what to look for.

    Question 3 · ListeningYour answer: B
    Listen to the recording againDownload

    What you heard

    Speaker Hello, this is Priya Shah from Northgate Office Supplies, returning your call about your order. The desks you ordered are in stock, and we could send them this Thursday. The matching chairs, however, won’t reach our warehouse until the twentieth, so we can also deliver everything together on the twenty-second, at no extra charge. Please call me back to let me know which you prefer.

    When will the chairs arrive at the supplier’s warehouse?

    1. A On Thursday
    2. B On the twentieth Correct answer
    3. C On the twenty-second
    4. D Next Monday

    The solution, step by step

    Correct answer: B — On the twentieth.

    The method in action

    1. Read before listening, the question asks when the chairs will arrive at the supplier’s warehouse.
    2. The opening words, “this is Priya Shah… returning your call,” signal a phone message.
    3. Thursday, mentioned first, is the proposed date for shipping the desks; “The matching chairs, however, won’t reach our warehouse until the twentieth”: answer B. The 22nd is the proposed date for a combined delivery.

    Key takeaways

    A talk includes several details of the same kind; the question tells you which one to listen for.

Reading 1 mistake out of 3

  • Q4 Ms. Okafor … the Lisbon office for six years and knows most of its clients personally. Correct answer B
    Question 4 · ReadingYour answer: B

    Ms. Okafor … the Lisbon office for six years and knows most of its clients personally.

    1. A manages
    2. B has managed Correct answer
    3. C is managing
    4. D managing

    The solution, step by step

    Correct answer: B — has managed.

    The method in action

    1. The four choices are forms of the same verb, so grammar decides.
    2. Here, “for six years” and the context describe an activity that began in the past and continues now: among the choices, the present perfect “has managed” fits.
    3. “Manages” is a literal translation of “has managed for six years”; “is managing” also fails to express something lasting six years; “managing” is not a conjugated verb. Answer: B.

    Key takeaways

    For an activity that began in the past and continues in the present, use the present perfect, simple or continuous depending on context; “for” indicates a duration and “since” a starting point.

  • Q5 The payroll portal — For blank (1), four choices Your answerA Correct answer C
    Question 5 · ReadingYour answer: A

    An email

    Dear colleagues,

    Our payroll portal is being moved to a new server next weekend. From 6:00 P.M. on Friday until 8:00 A.M. on Monday, the portal (1) unavailable. During that time, September payslips can still be requested from the HR office by e-mail.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    For blank (1), four choices

    1. A was Your answer
    2. B has been
    3. C will be Correct answer
    4. D being

    The solution, step by step

    Correct answer: C — will be.

    The method in action

    1. First, read the whole passage: the migration takes place “next weekend,” from Friday evening to Monday morning. Everything it describes is in the future.
    2. In the sentence alone, “was” and “has been” could also fit; “next weekend” rules them out. “Being” is not a conjugated verb.
    3. The portal will be unavailable during the migration: “will be” fits both the sentence and the passage. Answer: C.

    Key takeaways

    In Part 6, the sentence with the blank is not always enough: the clue is often elsewhere in the text.

  • Q6 The closed entrance — What are tenants who plan to work late asked to do? Correct answer B
    Question 6 · ReadingYour answer: B

    A notice

    Notice to all tenants of Harbour View Business Centre

    The main entrance on Quay Street will be closed from 12 to 16 May while new automatic doors are installed. During this period, please use the side entrance on Mill Lane, which will remain open from 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. Deliveries should be directed to the loading bay at the rear of the building, as usual.

    Tenants who need access outside these hours should contact the security desk at extension 214 at least one day in advance.

    What are tenants who plan to work late asked to do?

    1. A Use the main entrance
    2. B Notify security staff ahead of time Correct answer
    3. C Collect their deliveries at the loading bay
    4. D Leave the building by 8:00 P.M.

    The solution, step by step

    Correct answer: B — Notify security staff ahead of time.

    The method in action

    1. Read before the passage, the question tells you what to look for: what people who stay late—beyond the regular hours—are asked to do.
    2. The last paragraph is aimed at them: “contact the security desk … at least one day in advance.”
    3. B says it in different words: “notify” for “contact” and “ahead of time” for “at least one day in advance.” Answer: B. D repeats when the side entrance closes, but the notice does not ask anyone to leave.

    Key takeaways

    A paraphrase must preserve the passage’s meaning. Evidence matters more than shared words or synonyms.
