Module 7 · Lesson 3 of 6
Forms, notes and spelling
Catch names spelt letter by letter, numbers, dates, postcodes and last-second corrections, then use the method on an original Part 1-style booking form.
In this lesson
- Predict the exact format of each answer in a form or a set of notes before the recording starts
- Write down names and codes spelt letter by letter without falling into the A/E/I and G/J traps
- Catch phone numbers, prices, dates, times and postcodes as people actually say them
- Spot corrections and read-backs, and write only the final version of a detail
- Complete an original Part 1-style booking form and check every answer for spelling and word limit
