Complete a form with words from the recording
The Form Completion task typically appears in Part 1, which is considered the easiest section and is based on everyday, social situations.
In this task, you’ll listen to a monologue or a conversation—often between two people—where one person is either filling out or providing details for a form.
The form could be a hotel registration, job application, or booking form, and it will have gaps that you must fill in as you listen.
The missing information usually includes names, dates, phone numbers, addresses, prices, or specific details about a product or service. Your goal is to catch these details accurately while following the structure of the form.
You are given a form (e.g., application, registration, or booking form) with missing information.
You must fill in the blanks with words or numbers you hear in the recording. Instructions will tell you the word limit (e.g., NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER).
The form usually includes personal details, dates, times, addresses, or other short facts.
The questions appear in the same order as the audio. The answers are usually short and factual (not full sentences).
The language in the audio may be paraphrased, not exactly the same as the form.
Spelling and accuracy are important to get the correct answer.
Read the instructions carefully – Pay attention to the word limit (e.g., "No more than TWO words and/or a number"). Exceeding it will lose marks.
Predict the type of information – Quickly guess if the answer will be a name, number, date, price, etc.
Use the form structure as a guide – The answers follow the order of the form. Use the form layout to guess what type of information is needed next.
Watch out for paraphrasing – The audio may use synonyms instead of the exact words in the form.
Listen for spellings and numbers – Be alert for names, addresses, and codes that are spelled out.
Don’t be distracted by corrections – Speakers might change what they say. Always write the final, corrected information.
Practice common topics – Forms often relate to things like bookings, services, or applications—get familiar with these.
Write neatly and spell correctly – Spelling mistakes are marked wrong, even if the information is right.
