Question

What are the four planning moves?

Answer

Decode → Brainstorm → Order → Note vocab.

Card 949 • 4.2.1concept
Question

Which criterion does a clear plan help most?

Answer

Criterion B (Message) — it gives an organised, well-developed answer.

Card 950 • 4.2.1concept
Question

Why develop only 2–3 points rather than many?

Answer

Depth with examples beats a long list of shallow points — undeveloped ideas lose Criterion B.

Card 951 • 4.2.1concept
Question

Should you write your plan in full sentences?

Answer

No — note form, five short lines; the plan is scaffolding for you, not text for the examiner.

Card 952 • 4.2.1concept
Question

Why order your points before writing?

Answer

A clear order keeps the reader following you from opening to close, protecting Criterion B.

Card 963 • 4.2.2concept
Question

Why not write a generic essay in Paper 1?

Answer

The task names a specific form; a generic essay misses its conventions and loses Criterion C.

Card 964 • 4.2.2concept
Question

Where do you find the text type in a prompt?

Answer

It's almost always printed in the prompt — «blog», «email», «articolo», «discorso» — so underline it first.

Card 965 • 4.2.2concept
Question

How do you decide the register for a text type?

Answer

From the form and its reader: a formal letter is Lei, a blog is semiformal, a speech depends on the audience.

Which markers move together when you switch register?

Answer

The greeting, the verb forms, the possessive and the sign-off — change all four or none.

Card 978 • 4.2.3concept
Question

What's the most common register mistake?

Answer

Mixing tu and Lei in the same answer — usually hidden in verb endings and possessives.

Card 979 • 4.2.3concept
Question

Which criterion does a consistent register protect?

Answer

Criterion C (Conceptual) — register matched to the reader and held throughout.

Card 980 • 4.2.3concept

Topic sentence → Develop with a connector → Add an example → Conclude or transition.

Card 992 • 4.2.4concept
Question

What's the most common cohesion mistake?

Answer

Linking every sentence with only «e» (and), or repeating one connector until it loses meaning.

Card 993 • 4.2.4concept
Question

Which criteria does good cohesion help?

Answer

Criterion A (range and accuracy of language) most, and Criterion B (organised, easy-to-follow ideas).

Card 994 • 4.2.4concept
Question

How do you make a choppy answer flow without adding content?

Answer

Link the ideas you already have with varied connectors matched to the relationship (cause, contrast, result).

Card 995 • 4.2.5definition

A clear, consistent, well-developed answer with correct verbs scores higher than a flashy one full of slips.

Card 1008 • 4.2.5concept
Question

What's the fix for listing ideas without developing them?

Answer

Develop 2-3 ideas with reasons and examples instead of naming many.

Card 1009 • 5.1.1definition
Question

Twice — once for the gist, once for the details.

Card 1011 • 5.1.1definition
Question

How many marks is the Listening section worth (SL)?

Answer

About 25 marks (around 45 minutes).

Card 1012 • 5.1.1definition

Answer

Listening comprehension — understanding spoken Italian.

Card 1015 • 5.1.1definition
Question

Che cos'è «una registrazione»?

Answer

A recording — the audio clip you listen to.

Card 1016 • 5.1.1definition
Question

What does «vero/falso + giustificare» mean?

Answer

True/false + justify — you decide if a statement is true or false AND give the words that prove it.

Card 1017 • 5.1.1definition
Question

Answer

50% — it is the receptive-skills paper: Listening + Reading.

Card 1018 • 5.1.1concept
Question

What is the five-step listening technique?

Answer

Read the questions → Predict the vocabulary → First listen for the gist → Second listen for the details → Check spelling & blanks.

Card 1019 • 5.1.1concept
Question

Why are you allowed to hear each recording twice?

Answer

So you can get the general idea (gist) on the first play and catch the specific details on the second.

Card 1020 • 5.1.1concept
Question

What should you do in the pause before a recording?

Answer

Read the questions and predict the vocabulary you'll hear, so you know exactly what to listen for.

Card 1021 • 5.1.1concept
Question

Why is hearing a question-word in the audio NOT enough?

Answer

It may be a trap — the same word is often planted in a wrong place. Listen for the meaning and watch for synonyms.

Card 1022 • 5.1.1concept
Question

Why write short answers in Listening, not long ones?

Answer

It's marked objectively on correctness — a short, accurate answer scores; a long, rambling one risks burying or losing the point.

Card 1023 • 5.2.1definition
Question

What is a multiple-choice listening question?

Answer

A question with a short list of options (A, B, C, D) where exactly one is correct; you pick it from what you hear.

Card 1024 • 5.2.1definition
Question

How is a listening multiple-choice item marked?

Answer

Right or wrong against an answer key — one mark, no half marks.

Card 1025 • 5.2.1definition
Question

How many options are correct in a multiple-choice item?

Answer

Exactly one.

Card 1026 • 5.2.1definition
Question

What is a 'distractor' (distrattore) in multiple choice?

Answer

A plausible wrong option, often repeating a word you hear but twisting the meaning.

Card 1027 • 5.2.1definition
Question

Che cosa significa «scegliere l'opzione corretta»?

Answer

To choose the correct option.

Card 1028 • 5.2.1definition
Question

Che cosa significa «il significato»?

Answer

The meaning — what the whole sentence actually says.

Card 1029 • 5.2.1definition
Question

What does «una sola risposta» mean?

Answer

Only one answer — exactly one option is right.

Card 1030 • 5.2.1definition
Question

Che cosa vuol dire «contrassegnare» in una scelta multipla?

Answer

To tick / mark the option you choose.

Card 1031 • 5.2.1definition
Question

How many marks is each multiple-choice item worth?

Answer

One mark, awarded all-or-nothing.

Card 1032 • 5.2.1concept
Question

What is the five-step method for a listening MCQ?

Answer

Read all the options → Predict what each could sound like → Listen for the MEANING → Eliminate the distractors → Choose one and move on.

Card 1033 • 5.2.1concept
Question

Why should you read all the options before the audio?

Answer

So you know what they differ on and can predict the vocabulary, which lets you eliminate distractors as you listen.

Card 1034 • 5.2.1concept
Question

Why is hearing a word from an option NOT enough to choose it?

Answer

It may be the word-match trap — the same word is often planted in a wrong option. Judge by meaning, not by a single word.

Card 1035 • 5.2.1concept
Question

Why eliminate distractors rather than hunt for the answer?

Answer

Ruling out the options the recording contradicts is faster and narrows the choice, making the right option clear.

Card 1036 • 5.2.1concept
Question

Should you change a confident answer on the second listen?

Answer

No — use the second listen to confirm; only change it if you clearly misheard the first time.

Card 1037 • 5.2.2definition
Question

What is a Vero/Falso + giustificare question?

Answer

A statement you mark true (V) or false (F) AND justify with words from the recording.

Card 1038 • 5.2.2definition
Question

In V/F + justify, what do you score for a correct V/F with no justification?

Answer

Nothing — V/F alone earns no marks.

Card 1039 • 5.2.2definition
Question

What does «giustificare» mean in this question type?

Answer

To justify — to prove your true/false choice with the relevant words from the recording.

Card 1040 • 5.2.2definition
Question

What does «con parole del testo» mean?

Answer

With words from the text/recording — your justification must use the recording's own words.

Card 1041 • 5.2.2definition
Question

Che cos'è «la giustificazione»?

Answer

The justification — the exact proving words you quote to support your V/F.

Card 1042 • 5.2.2definition
Question

Che cosa significano «vero» e «falso»?

Answer

True and false.

Card 1043 • 5.2.2definition
Question

Che cos'è «una citazione» in questo contesto?

Answer

A quote — the exact words from the recording used as proof.

Card 1044 • 5.2.2definition
Question

What is the 'relevant detail' in a justification?

Answer

The exact part of the recording that proves your V/F — not the whole sentence and not an unrelated line.

Card 1045 • 5.2.2definition
Question

How many parts must be correct to score a V/F + justify mark?

Answer

Both — the V/F AND the justification.

Card 1046 • 5.2.2concept
Question

What is the five-step method for V/F + justify?

Answer

Read the statement → Locate the part it refers to → Decide V or F → Find the exact justifying words → Write BOTH the V/F and the justification.

Card 1047 • 5.2.2concept
Question

Why is a bare V/F worth nothing?

Answer

The question awards the mark for the V/F PLUS the justifying words; without the justification the answer is incomplete.

Card 1048 • 5.2.2concept
Question

Why quote the relevant words rather than the whole sentence?

Answer

Copying the whole sentence buries the proof; the mark needs the exact words that decide V or F.

Card 1049 • 5.2.2concept
Question

Why watch verb tenses in V/F + justify?

Answer

A past-tense detail («prima…») can be true once but false now — the tense can flip whether the statement is V or F.

Card 1050 • 5.2.2concept
Question

Why is an irrelevant justification not enough?

Answer

It doesn't prove your V/F; only the relevant detail that actually supports the answer earns the justification mark.

Card 1051 • 5.2.3definition
Question

What is a «completare i vuoti» (gap-fill) listening question?

Answer

A sentence or note with a blank that you complete with the exact word(s) you hear.

Card 1052 • 5.2.3definition
Question

In gap-fill, do spelling and accents count?

Answer

Yes — the exact word is the answer, so a misspelling or missing accent can lose the mark.

Card 1053 • 5.2.3definition
Question

How many words do you usually write in a gap-fill?

Answer

Usually one word or a few — only what the gap needs.

Card 1054 • 5.2.3definition
Question

What does the gap-fill answer have to do besides being the right word?

Answer

Fit grammatically in the sentence (correct gender, number and sense).

Card 1055 • 5.2.3definition
Question

Che cosa significa «completare i vuoti»?

Answer

To fill in the gaps.

Card 1056 • 5.2.3definition
Question

Che cos'è «il vuoto» (o «lo spazio»)?

Answer

The gap — the blank you complete.

Card 1057 • 5.2.3definition
Question

Che cos'è «l'accento» in una parola?

Answer

The accent mark — e.g. the difference between «e» and «è», or «perche» and «perché».

Card 1058 • 5.2.3definition
Question

Che cosa significa «stare bene nella frase» (concordare)?

Answer

To fit grammatically — your word must agree and make grammatical sense in the sentence.

Card 1059 • 5.2.3definition
Question

Che cosa vuol dire «l'ortografia»?

Answer

Spelling — the correct letters, accents and double consonants of the word.

Card 1060 • 5.2.3concept
Question

What is the five-step method for gap-fill?

Answer

Read the gapped sentence → Predict the word type → Listen for it → Write it correctly (spelling + accents) → Check it fits grammatically.

Card 1061 • 5.2.3concept
Question

Why predict the word type before listening?

Answer

Knowing whether the gap needs a number, a time or a noun tells you exactly what to listen for, so the word jumps out.

Card 1062 • 5.2.3concept
Question

Why must your gap-fill answer fit the sentence grammatically?

Answer

The gap is part of a real sentence; a word that doesn't agree or make sense is almost certainly the wrong answer.

Card 1063 • 5.2.3concept
Question

Why can a right word still lose the mark in gap-fill?

Answer

Because spelling and accents are part of the answer — a misspelling, a dropped accent or a missing double consonant can cost the mark.

Card 1064 • 5.2.3concept
Question

Why write only what the gap needs, not more?

Answer

Writing extra words can bury the answer or break the grammar of the sentence; the gap wants the exact word(s), nothing more.

Card 1065 • 5.2.4definition
Question

What is a short-answer question (risposta breve)?

Answer

A question you answer in a few words of Italian — not a sentence — giving the correct, relevant detail.

Card 1066 • 5.2.4definition
Question

Che cos'è «la risposta breve»?

Answer

The short answer — a few words, not a full sentence.

Card 1067 • 5.2.4definition
Question

Che cos'è «il dato» in a listening question?

Answer

The piece of information / the detail the question asks you to give.

Card 1068 • 5.2.4definition
Question

Che cos'è «la parola chiave»?

Answer

The key word — the one word (or two) you note down as the answer.

Card 1069 • 5.2.4definition
Question

What is a short answer marked on?

Answer

The correct, relevant content — NOT essay style, length, or perfect grammar.

Card 1070 • 5.2.4definition
Question

Does «In bicicletta» score as well as «Va a scuola in bicicletta»?

Answer

Yes — a few correct words score full marks; the full sentence adds nothing.

Card 1071 • 5.2.4definition
Question

Che cosa significa «rispondere con poche parole»?

Answer

To answer in a few words — give just the detail asked for, not a paragraph.

Card 1072 • 5.2.4definition
Question

What does «preciso/a» mean for a short answer?

Answer

Precise — exactly to the point, only the detail the question asks for.

Card 1073 • 5.2.4definition
Question

Should a short answer be in Italian or English?

Answer

In Italian — a few words of Italian giving the correct detail.

Card 1074 • 5.2.4concept
Question

What is the five-step short-answer technique?

Answer

Read the question → Listen for that detail → Note the key word(s) → Write a short, precise answer → Check it answers the question.

Card 1075 • 5.2.4concept
Question

Why is a short answer safer than a long one?

Answer

The shorter the answer, the less chance of including something wrong that cancels the mark — give the detail and stop.

Card 1076 • 5.2.4concept
Question

Why is copying a long chunk of the transcript risky?

Answer

The mark is for the precise detail; a long chunk may not answer the question and buries the relevant point.

Card 1077 • 5.2.4concept
Question

What is the most common lost mark in short answers?

Answer

Answering a DIFFERENT question — a correct fact that doesn't answer what was actually asked scores nothing.

Card 1078 • 5.2.4concept
Question

Should you ever leave a short answer blank?

Answer

Never — you hear each recording twice, so use the second listen to fill every gap; a blank scores zero.

Card 1079 • 5.2.5definition
Question

What are listening strategies?

Answer

Overarching techniques (predict, two-listen, deduce, infer) that improve every Paper 2 Listening question type.

Card 1080 • 5.2.5definition
Question

Che cosa significa «prevedere» in listening?

Answer

To predict — to guess the vocabulary you'll hear, from the questions, before you listen.

Card 1081 • 5.2.5definition
Question

Che cos'è «l'idea generale»?

Answer

The gist — the general idea of the recording (who, where, what about).

Card 1082 • 5.2.5definition
Question

Che cos'è «il dettaglio» in a recording?

Answer

The detail — the specific piece of information a question asks for.

Card 1083 • 5.2.5definition
Question

Che cosa significa «dedurre»?

Answer

To deduce / work out — figure out the meaning of an unknown word from context.

Card 1084 • 5.2.5definition
Question

Che cos'è «l'inferenza»?

Answer

Inference — what is meant but not stated outright (mood, opinion, purpose).

Card 1085 • 5.2.5definition
Question

Name the four core listening strategies.

Answer

Active prediction; the two-listen strategy (gist then detail); deducing unknown words from context; inference of mood/opinion/purpose.

Card 1086 • 5.2.5definition
Question

What is the two-listen strategy?

Answer

Use the first listen for the gist and the second listen for the details and to confirm.

Card 1087 • 5.2.5definition
Question

Che cosa significa «cogliere l'idea generale»?

Answer

To capture the gist — to grasp the general idea on the first listen.

Card 1088 • 5.2.5concept
Question

What is the master listening routine?

Answer

Read the questions → Predict the vocabulary → First listen for the gist → Second listen for the details → Infer what isn't said & check.

Card 1089 • 5.2.5concept
Question

Why shouldn't you try to catch every word?

Answer

Nobody catches every word — you need the meaning. The gist plus key details beats transcribing the whole clip.

Card 1090 • 5.2.5concept
Question

What should you do when you hit an unknown word?

Answer

Don't freeze — deduce its meaning from the surrounding context and keep listening; one word rarely costs the answer.

Card 1091 • 5.2.5concept
Question

When is inference needed in a listening question?

Answer

When the answer isn't word-for-word — you deduce the mood, opinion or purpose from the clues.

Card 1092 • 5.2.5concept
Question

Why is the second listen important?

Answer

It exists to catch the details and confirm your answers — not just to re-hear the gist.

Answer

Read the question first, then scan the text for that one detail.

Card 1105 • 6.1.1concept
Question

Why might the answer use different words from the question?

Answer

Reading tests paraphrase and synonyms — match meaning, not just identical words.

Card 1106 • 6.1.1concept
Question

Why is re-reading your advantage in Reading (vs Listening)?

The text never disappears, so you can go back to the exact line instead of answering from memory.

Card 1117 • 6.2.1concept
Question

What is the word-match trap?

Answer

A wrong option that repeats a word from the text but misreads its meaning, so it feels familiar.

Card 1118 • 6.2.1concept
Question

Why is eliminating distractors useful?

Answer

It is often easier to rule options out than to spot the right one; what's left is your answer.

Card 1119 • 6.2.1concept
Question

Why must you read the WHOLE relevant sentence?

Answer

The meaning of the full line decides the answer — deciding on half a sentence loses marks.

Card 1120 • 6.2.1concept
Question

Does a shared word between an option and the text prove it's correct?

Answer

No — be more suspicious; the writers plant that word, so check the whole sentence's meaning.

Card 1131 • 6.2.2concept
Question

Why does a correct V/F earn nothing on its own?

Answer

The marks depend on justifying it with the relevant words from the text.

Card 1132 • 6.2.2concept
Question

What's the most common way to lose marks in V/F + justify?

Answer

Writing V or F with no justification.

Card 1133 • 6.2.2concept

Card 1145 • 6.2.3concept
Question

Why shouldn't you rely on a dictionary meaning alone?

Answer

A word can have several meanings; the context decides which one fits here.

Card 1146 • 6.2.3concept
Question

How do you confirm a vocab-in-context meaning?

Answer

Re-read the sentence with your meaning slotted in — it should make sense.

Card 1147 • 6.2.3concept
Question

How does the 'fit test' expose a false friend?

Answer

Slot the English-looking meaning into the sentence; if it makes no sense, it's a false friend.

Card 1148 • 6.2.3concept
Question

Can you decode a word you've never learnt?

Yes — the surrounding context usually gives the meaning away.

Answer

Come from the text/bank, fit grammatically, and be spelled correctly.

Card 1158 • 6.2.4concept
Question

Give the 5-step gap-fill routine.

Answer

Read the gapped sentence → Predict the word type → Find it in the text → Write it correctly → Check it fits.

Card 1159 • 6.2.4concept
Question

Why predict the word type before searching?

Answer

So you scan for the right kind of word (noun, verb, number) instead of any word.

Card 1160 • 6.2.4concept
Question

Why can a correct idea still lose the gap-fill mark?

Answer

If the word is the wrong form or is misspelt, objective marking won't award it.

Card 1161 • 6.2.4concept
Question

Should you invent a word for a gap if you can't find one?

Answer

No — the word comes from the text or the given bank; never invent it.

Card 1162 • 6.2.4concept

Answer

Read both lists → Do the sure ones first → Eliminate → Match the rest → Check none is reused and the spare is left over.

Should you match in order, top to bottom?

Answer

No — do the matches you're sure of first; each one removes an option.

Card 1174 • 6.2.5concept
Question

Should you match because two items share one word?

Answer

No — match on the meaning of the whole statement, not a single shared word.

Card 1175 • 6.2.5concept
Question

What if you've used the same option for two items?

Answer

One of those matches is wrong — each option is used only once.

Card 1176 • 6.2.5concept

No — match every item, using elimination for the ones you're unsure of.

Card 1186 • 6.2.6concept

Read the stem → Find what the text says → Choose or write the ending → Check the sentence is true per the text → Move on.

Card 1187 • 6.2.6concept

Can an ending be wrong even if it sounds reasonable?

Answer

Yes — if the text doesn't state it, a sensible-sounding ending is still wrong.

Card 1188 • 6.2.6concept
Question

What is the 'time shift' trap in completion?

Answer

An ending true for a later part of the text but not for the part the stem asks about.

Card 1189 • 6.2.6concept

Card 1201 • 6.2.7concept
Question

Give the 5-step routine for tracking a reference.

Answer

Find → Read before → Identify → Substitute → Check.

Card 1202 • 6.2.7concept
Question

How does agreement help you find the right referent?

Answer

The referent must agree in gender and number with the word, so «lo» needs a masculine singular noun, «le» a feminine plural one.

Card 1203 • 6.2.7concept
Question

How do you confirm you have the right referent?

Answer

Substitute the noun back in place of the reference word and check the sentence still makes sense.

Answer

Content correctness — the right information, briefly; style is not the point.

Card 1212 • 6.2.8definition
Question

Are minor language slips heavily penalised in a reading short answer?

Answer

Usually not — the content (the correct, text-supported idea) is what earns the mark.

Card 1213 • 6.2.8definition
Question

May you copy from the text when the question does NOT say «con parole tue»?

Answer

Yes — then you may lift the words straight from the text.

Card 1214 • 6.2.8concept

Answer

Read the question first, so you know exactly what to look for in the text.

Card 1216 • 6.2.8concept
Question

Why shouldn't you over-write a short answer?

Answer

Extra padding earns no extra marks and risks contradicting yourself; a few words are enough.

Card 1217 • 6.2.8concept

Why should you never leave a short answer blank?

Answer

A blank scores zero, but a brief, text-supported attempt can score the mark.

Card 1218 • 6.2.8concept

Answer

Al presente: «c'è», «vedo», «una persona sorride».

«on the left / on the right» — position language for locating elements in the image

Card 1256 • 7.2.1concept
Question

What's the difference between describing and interpreting?

Answer

Describing = saying what's literally there; interpreting = saying what it suggests or means. The oral needs BOTH.

Card 1257 • 7.2.1concept
Question

Why use position language when describing the stimulus?

Answer

Words like «in primo piano», «sullo sfondo», «a sinistra» make the description precise and controlled, and keep you talking.

Card 1258 • 7.2.1concept
Question

How do you avoid drying up while describing the image?

Answer

Follow overview → detail → position → interpret → link; if you stall, jump to the next move — there's always one more thing to say.

Card 1259 • 7.2.1concept
Question

How do you move from describing to interpreting?

Answer

Switch from «vedo… / c'è…» to «sembra che… / credo che l'immagine mostri…» — from what you see to what it means.
