Lesson 6 — Listening Practice Cheat Sheet
In one line: Section 1 detail always hides in spellings, numbers, and times — train your ear to catch them, not just the general gist.
Key Ideas
1Spellings. Names spelled letter-by-letter are a classic Section 1 trap — write down every letter.
2Alphanumeric answers. Apartment/unit numbers like "3B" need both the digit and the letter captured.
