Another skill that they test on is the student's ability to ignore distraction.
So we have a question here and the question says the course is blank for two terms Monday evening,
6 to 8 p.m. in room 15.
And then so the correct answer is 258.
But when you look at when you're listening to the conversation, you're going to hear distraction.
So the manager and you know what the fee for the class is?
Woman For one term, it's $170, isn't it?
Manager That's right.
But if you sign up for two terms, it actually works out cheaper.
WOMAN How much would that be?
Manager $285.
So the distraction, is that what they're giving you?
More than one number as a possible answer choice.
Sometimes they'll give you three different numbers.
But that's why understanding the key words and the question is so important in this in this question.
The key words are two terms.
Two terms.
You're not just listening for any number.
They're not.
They're going to give you multiple distractions.
Multiple distractions.
So this is something else they're testing you on.
Ignoring distraction.
Overcoming distraction.
But here's another example of a distraction.
Another type of distraction is when they give you a wrong answer or the person corrects themself.
They gave a wrong answer and they correct themselves.
So.
The question says the cost is $180 per term.
Every blank.
630 to 830.
Room three.
So in the transcript.
Manager.
And the fee for that class is $180 per term.
Woman.
All right, manager.
And the class runs on Wednesdays, 630 to 8:30 p.m..
Oh, hang on.
I've got that wrong.
WOMAN It's on Thursday, isn't it?
MANAGER Yes, my mistake.
So here again, we have another distraction correction.
Right.
A correction is a type of distraction.
He said Wednesday.
He got it wrong, the woman said Thursday.
The manager confirmed it.
That's something they're testing.
Okay.
And here is one last look at distraction.
The correct answer here is library.
Drawing old buildings, starting with the blank woman.
Now, the other class I thought look interesting was sketching.
Architecture Manager Oh, yes, for that one.
Everyone goes down to the local park because it's surrounded by so many beautiful old buildings.
Woman Oh, right.
Oh, right.
Like the old post office.
There's the distraction right now.
A lot of students would do what?
They would just write.
They would just what?
Write down what?
Post office.
Post office is the answer.
What is the key word in the question?
Can anybody tell me the key word in the question?
What's the keyword in the question?
Because if you know the keyword in the question, then you know what you're listening for.
Starting with.
Exactly.
Starting with.
So you don't write anything down until you hear a place.
An old building that is connected with language related to starting with when they say it.
Oh, post office.
You heard no language related to starting with.
So you can't write that as an answer.
It's a distraction.
In the next line, it says what?
Well, I think you begin.
There's.
There's the language.
I think you begin by drawing the library.
Begin starting with.
Answer must be library.
So it's really important for you to understand that in every section of the listening tests, section
one, two, three and four, they are testing different skills and abilities.
Right.
Some of the skills and abilities that they're testing in Section four are different than the skills
and abilities they're testing in Section one.
You have to get better at your skills if you want to improve on the exam.
That's that's what it's about.
It's a skills test.
Somebody is asking me ask and I don't understand.
I don't understand asks ask me a question.
And how did you correct it?
It will be on the aisle.
I'm not sure I understand what your question is.
Asked, Are you asking me, do they test these skills on the isles?
Yes, that's what that's the whole that's what the whole class is about.
All of these are different skills that they test on the exam.
You're not.
If that's what you have to understand.
Okay.
Let's move on.
