In this section you will hear a mini-lecture. You will hear the lecture ONCE
ONLY. While listening, take notes on the important points. Your notes will not
be marked, but you will need them to complete a gap-filling task after the
mini-lecture. When the lecture is over, you will be given two minutes to
check your notes, and another ten minutes to complete the gap-filling task on
ANSWER SHEET ONE, using no more than three words in each gap. Make sure the

may refer to your notes while completing the task. Use the blank sheet for
note-taking. Now, listen to the mini-lecture. Suggestions of Reading
