[Ray]

Students who would like to visit the university should check the list of visiting dates on our website to select convenient date. Please remember that we need at least 2-week’s notice to arrange your visit. If you have problems completing the online booking form, you may send a copy to us by post, fax, or an e-mail attachment. You will be asked to choose two possible visiting dates. In this way, if booking for your first choice exceeds a certain level, the university will offer you an alternative date stated on your booking form. On the day of your visit, perspective students should arrive at the university between 9 and 9.15am. Please go directly to the main library building. Students are encouraged to attend with their parents. Although two guests is the normal limit, you may bring an extra person if you inform us in writing beforehand. On our busier visiting days, guests and parents will unfortunately be unable to visit academic departments.

[Rashid]

HI Simon,

I wrote "3 people" for last fill in the blanks.

Is that correct..?

[Praveen]

1 2 weeks notice
2 email attachment
3 alternative dates
4 main library building
5 three

[Ray]

Because the question is asking the "number", you should just answer 3.

[Steven]

Hi Simon and everyone,

I have some confusion in answering listening questions. For example, some time they say 25th December but the answer is 25 December. Is it acceptable to write 25th December? Moreover, some words have hyphens such as car-park and I answered it as carpark. Is it wrong?

Thank you.

Simon: Pls confirm the last answer is correct or not as I am confused by many postings here. I feel its 2 .

[Bubbles]

I'm also confused with the last question. In your other lessons, you said there are no mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, etc.) on the listening sub-test.

Laith...

I've had the same situation.
I think you need to improve your vocabulary and collocation.
Do work on grammar as well as sentence formations.
That would help you scoring 6.5 or 7.
