It is much easier for humans to understand information when (not sure) structure. In fact remembering information of 40% better when (not sure) structure. I have a lots of favourite structures. You see some of the structures up here behind me. The first structure is a (not sure) logical structure

Past present future

Here is how things use to be. Here is how they are today here is where they go in the future. (not sure) logical structure can really help you navigate your audience from one place to the next. Quite frankly, structure sets expectations. You can’t be lost if you have a map. Your structure provides a map, and (x)logical structure is incredible helpful for that.

The next structure happens to be the problem solution benefits structure.

----------
I'm not sure about punctuation used at all.

[Syd]

I was wondering if this scenario takes place in the listening section!

what we hear : DOUBLE U

should we write down the letter 'w"
or
"U" followed by another " U"
---
I know it's more logical to write W, but "U" "U" is still double U!!

[Simon]

FROM SIMON:

Good work guys. Well done for trying the transcription task!

You can now check your transcription with mine here:
https://ielts-simon.com/ielts-help-and-english-pr/2018/10/ielts-listening-transcription-exercise.html

Did you make any mistakes?

...

Dote Dote,

No, there's no difference. Both ways of writing dates are accepted.

...

Syd,

I can't think of any English words with "u" and "u" together (although someone will probably find one and prove me wrong!).

Either way, when someone says "double u" it always means the letter "w", so this is what you should write.

If an English speaker is reading a random password or code in which there are two consecutive u's, he or she would need to say "u, u".

[Md Mehedi Hasan]

I have faced some problem when I listen this, the speaker speak so fast that I can't write at a time the whole sentence but I understand the every word as well as every sentence. So can I pause it and replay again to write transcript?
