Encourage your students to do
the following when they approach
this task:
• Read and listen to the
instructions carefully.
• Read the sentences, think
about the context and predict
the language and information.
• During the first listening,
find and write down single
words, numbers or short
noun phrases to complete the
information. Use the order of
the information on the page to
follow the recording.
• During the second listening,
check that the answers are
correct and make sense. There
will only ever be a maximum
of three words to write in each
gap. If the word was spelled in
the recording, the answer must

Encourage your students to do the following when they approach this task:
• Read the question/statement and the two prompts carefully, to identify
what is required and who it is for, and what kind of information is needed.
• Plan the answer and respond to both prompts.
• Students will need to think of a third idea of their own which is different
from the two given prompts. Brainstorm some ideas for this.
• Write a rough draft of the essay before writing the final answer. Make
sure that it is well-organised and has a range of tenses, expressions and
vocabulary.
• Read the essay again to check that it makes sense and that all the
content points have been included.
