  •  Decide what type of information is missing (noun, number, adjective?).
  •  The questions follow the order of the text.
  •  There are two parts to this listening. This will help to orientate you.

    Tip 

    • There might be 2 to 4 people speaking in section 3. The voices will sound quite different.
    • The questions follow the order of the text.
    • Note how many different types of questions there are. In this case there are four: note completion, charts and diagrams, multiple choice and completing a chart.
    • Look through the questions to get an idea of the topic.
    • Look carefully at the graphs. Reading the questions and underlining key words will help you make sense of the graphs, e.g. Question 24: 'relative popularity ... cinemas'. Each column in the bar chart represents how popular each cinema is in relation to the other. Look at C: Which is the most popular cinema in this graph? Which is the least popular?
