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.

3.IELTS LISTENING INSTRUCTION

• if you cannot hear the audio clearly, let a member of staff know

straightaway

• follow the instructions carefully; they may be different to practice or

previous tests

• listen for the specific information you want

• try and anticipate what the speaker will say; this will require concentration

• do not worry if there is a word you do not understand; you may not need

to use it

• if you do not know the answer to a question, attempt it but do not waste

time; move quickly onto the next one

• be careful with your spelling and grammar.

3.IELTS LISTENING INSTRUCTION

• 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

• check your answers
