TranscriptAs you drive up the driveway you will immediately arrive in the parking area. You will see to your left the farmhouse where the farmer lives as you drive up and directly to the left of the parking area is the main shed. There are a number of smaller sheds located around the main shed which are not currently labelled on the map. In the northwest corner of the farm is a pasture area which is a wide grassy expanse. It provides rich organic grass for our cows and, along with other types of feed, gives us our organic status and key selling point. From the parking area, you go east through the milk house, which is used daily, and then into the barn. This is where the cows are often sheltered. On the other side of the barn is the manure storage. To the north you will find the calf hutches which are located just beyond the maternity pens. Only 30% of our cows are used for breeding. In the bottom left corner of the barn is the loading chute. To the south are two circular areas, one of which is the feed storage and the other the deadstock area. We hope you will enjoy looking around our farm and learning about how we manage our cows.

Thanks Liz for the practice lessons..Its really helpful. I believe in the real exam we will get options to select or our answer. and I feel that would help us to locate the answer. However practicing like this makes us even more effective. So thanks for such lessons.
Glad it helps.
It is very helpful.
Dear Liz,
I would appreciate if you please answer my below questions:
In the listening test, multiple choice questions answer is given as the following order:
(a) White
(b) Green
(c) Black
(d) Yellow
And if the correct answer is c which is in lower case and if I transfer exactly c in lower case to the answer sheet then does this answer going to accept as a right answer?
Secondly, in your listening tips video, you have mentioned answer given using Capital Letter in the answer sheet not going to accept, is that correct?
Yours Sincerely,
SM Zahirul Islam
My video does not say that. It says that capital letters don’t matter. This means you can write the answers as you wish. Most teachers recommend using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS FOR BOTH READING AND LISTENING ANSWERS.
