Spot Dictation

Directions:In this part of the test, you will listen to a passage and it will not be written out in full for you. You will hear the passage TWICE. While listening, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you hear.

A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way in which names are used. Americans have little 31 for "rank", especially socially. Most Americans do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank; it makes them feel 32 . Many Americans even find the terms "Mr", "Mrs" or "Miss" too formal. People of all ages may 33 to be called by their first names. "Don't call me Mrs Smith, just call me Sally." Using only first names usually 34 friendliness and acceptance. However, if you do not feel comfortable using only first names, it is quite 35 to be more formal. Just smile and say that after a while you will use first names but you are 36 to being more formal when you first meet someone.

Very often, 37 are made using both first and last names: "Mary Smith, this is John Jones." In this 38 you are free to decide whether to call the lady "Mary" or "Miss Smith". Sometimes both of you will begin a 39 using last names, and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead. You have a choice: if you don't want to use first names so quickly, no one will think it 40 if you continue according to your own custom. 31.
