For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer by matching the people below with the following texts.

Choosing a Music Streaming Service

A group of classmates want to choose the perfect music streaming service. Read the five descriptions of people. Then read the eight descriptions of music streaming services. Decide which service would be the most suitable for each person. For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer.

Noah

Noah is very serious about sound quality and listens with expensive headphones. He wants the best audio possible and hates adverts. He also likes exploring new artists, so he wants good suggestions based on what he already listens to.

Leo

Leo is learning the guitar and wants to improve by reading song lyrics and seeing simple chords. He likes rock and wants playlists that help him practise. He uses a laptop at home and doesn’t need to download music.

Maya

Maya is a careful spender and wants a free service. She doesn’t mind hearing adverts, but she needs to download playlists because she often travels where there is no internet. She mostly listens on her phone and would like to share one playlist with her best friend.

Aisha

Aisha studies a lot and wants music that helps her focus. She likes calm playlists and long mixes that keep playing without her choosing every song. She often uses public Wi‑Fi, so she wants a service that uses little data and works well even with a weak connection.

Sofia

Sofia and her parents want one account for the whole family. They need separate profiles so everyone gets their own recommendations. Sofia also wants strong controls for her little brother, so he only hears child-friendly music. They mostly listen on a smart speaker at home.

What to do

This task is a long one, so don’t worry, it cannot be done quickly!

Your task is to match eight texts with five people. There are three texts which you will not need.

It’s important to find out what the different people want before you look at the eight texts.

Don’t choose an answer just because it contains the same words as the question. Read the texts carefully to check the meaning is correct.

This part of the test cannot be done quickly because you need to read the details in each text carefully, and you may have to go back to a text and re-read it several times.

When you are sure you have found an answer, you may want to cross out that particular text as you will not need to read it again.

Strategy

  1. Read the five descriptions of people and underline the key words.
  2. Now read one description and try to find the matching text. The correct text must have all the points that the person requires. For example, if a person wants a romantic book that is short, you must find a text which matches the two requirements: romantic and short.
  3. Usually, the correct answer will not contain exactly the same words as the person’s description. You may have to recognize different ways of saying the same thing, for example, ‘love story’ instead of ‘romantic’, and ‘a book | can read quickly’ instead of ‘a short book’.
  4. If you think that there are two texts that seem to match the same person, read the description and the two texts again carefully. Only ONE text will match ALL of a person’s requirements.
  5. Check that the option you have chosen ts correct by trying to find out why the other options are incorrect.
