Predicting answers before you listen
Read the gap, decide what kind of word fits, and listen for it. Prediction turns a fast recording into a list of targets.

শূন্যস্থানে কোন ধরনের শব্দ বসবে আগে থেকে অনুমান করুন; তারপর শুনুন।
By the end of this lesson you can
- Predict the grammar and meaning of a missing word
- Underline key words that will signal the answer
- Spot when a question has already passed
Ask two questions about every gap
First: what kind of word fits grammatically? After "a" you need a singular noun or an adjective + noun; after "costs £" you need a number.
Second: what kind of meaning is likely? In "Meeting point: outside the ___" the answer is a place, such as "library" or "main entrance".
Predicting a form
Name: Sarah ___ → a surname, probably spelled out
Date of arrival: ___ June → a number
Room type: ___ → single, double, twin…
Price per night: £___ → a number
Once you know you are listening for a number, a name or a room type, you can ignore everything else.
