Action plan reminder Matching tasks 1 It depends. Sometimes you write the letters
once only, sometimes more than once. Read the
instructions and study the task carefully.
2 Yes, if it is the first task, you are given time at the
beginning of the recording. If it is the second task,
there will be a pause in the recording so you can read
the questions.
3 Not necessarily. Listen for synonyms and
paraphrases.
4 Yes, this helps you follow the information in the
recording and find the correct answer.
Questions 27–30 27 C Maia mentions that parents and caregivers
sometimes repeated the same movements, and
concludes that babies were happiest when their
behaviour was imitated.
Distraction B, there are references to movement. D,
the babies were given toys to play with, but there is
no reference to them being excited or surprised by
this.
28 F Daniel says that the babies wanted to give
assistance. If they thought someone had a problem,
they wanted to help.
Distraction D, there is reference to a surprise such as
a pen being dropped, but no reference to the babies
being excited by this. C, Maia asks if the babies
copied the researchers’ behaviour, but Daniel says
no.
29 A Maia says the babies recognised the relationship
between reason and result, because they knew the
light would come on.
Distraction B, ‘pushing’ the buttons may suggest
physical exercise but that is not the nature of this
experiment. E, Daniel asks if he is a linguist, but is
confusing him with someone else.
30 E The babies have some knowledge of how
language is structured, and can recognise nouns
and verbs, etc.
Distraction D, Maia expresses surprise at the
research finding, but that doesn’t relate to the
babies being surprised.
