Cambridge IELTS 1, Listening Test 2, Section 1. The university counsellor compares two overseas students’ experiences. These answers cover Questions 1–10.
1. student accommodation / hostel
2. awful food
3. not friendly / kept to themselves
4. lecturers (too) busy
5. regular meetings / meetings with lecturers / fortnightly meetings
6. family / homestay
7. lot of noise / children made noise / difficult to study
8. student house
9. (Bachelor of) Computing
10. reserve computer time
Keep the two students’ experiences separate. The hostel’s food and the lack of friendly contact are different problems; lonely is not the accepted wording for Question 3. The family accommodation creates a noise problem, while a student house is the proposed alternative. The final answer is an action involving computer access, not simply the name of a course.
