Tip Section 2 is always a talk by one speaker. Look at the questions and the title of the task. Try to guess the context from the language and the picture. Note that all the questions here are note completion format. Turn the notes into questions in your head, e.g. Number made = How many were made? Do this for all the questions before you listen. Decide what type of information is missing (noun, number, adjective?). The questions follow the order of the text. There are two parts to this listening. This will help to orientate you.
