4 min

Your task: Before listening, choose five likely detail types: guest, date, room, length, check-in time, included service, identification, problem or required response.

Teacher Help · Stage 1

Ask for detail types, not invented answers. The aim is to create listening categories without pre-teaching the recording.

Do not let the learner read the frame word for word. Remove it after one rehearsal and ask for a natural confirmation.

Stage 6 · Final Practice · 7 min

Your task: Listen to Audio 1 and Audio 2 in sequence without the answers open. State the purpose, record five correct details, explain the change, choose an option and give a 30–45 second confirmation. After feedback, retry the weakest part.

Success target: 5/6 overall with ACT = 2 and no zero after retry.
