2.Introduction to IELTS Listening
• You have 30 seconds to look at the questions in each sectionbefore the recording starts. (Make sure that you use the time toread the questions, so that you know what type of information youshould be listening for.) The listening is played only once. If you misssomething the first time, you will not have another chance to hearit. The voices which you hear may be English, Australian, American,and England sounds very different from a south London accent.
• The recording will always start with an introduction telling you some background information about what you are going to hear. This will be followed by instructions about what you have to do with the information.

• do not panic if you think the topic is too difficult or the speaker is too fast; relax and tune in
• read, write and listen at the same time
• focus precisely on what you are asked to do in completion type questions
• pay attention to the word limit; for example, if you are asked to complete a sentence using no more than two words, if the correct answer is ‘leather coat’, the answer ‘coat made of leather’ would be incorrect
• if the question asks you to complete the note ‘in the…’ and the correct answer is ‘morning’, note that ‘in the morning’ would be incorrect; the correct answer is 'morning'
• attempt all questions; there are no penalties for incorrect answers
