🎧 Transcript — Gym Membership Enquiry
"Hi, I'd like to sign up for a membership." "Of course — can I get your name?" "It's Daniel Kirkpatrick, that's K-I-R-K-P-A-T-R-I-C-K." "And your preferred plan?" "The annual one, please." "That's £360 for the year, or you can split it monthly at £35. We're open 6am to 10pm every day except Sunday, when we close at 4pm. Your membership card will be ready in two working days, and you get one free personal training session when you join."

1-B 2-B 3-B 4-B | 5 = 35 6 = 4pm 7 = Kirkpatrick (K-I-R-K-P-A-T-R-I-C-K) 8 = 6am 9 = annual | 10 = A long, less common surname spelled letter-by-letter at natural speaking speed gives you very little time to write each letter correctly before the next one arrives, and any brief lapse in attention means missing several letters at once rather than just one — which is exactly why examiners use longer, unfamiliar surnames to test sustained listening accuracy rather than short common names.
