 BE READY TO LISTEN.

Remember that the Listening part of the IELTS test is the same for Academic and General Training Module candidates. There are four sections and each is treated separately and played once only. The moment you hear the words "Section 1","Section 2" etc. Should:

Be prepared and ready to listen for the instruction that are given.

Listen for detail about the information contained in the coming passage.

e.g who? what?w when? why?

First, check where the questions are located on the passage in the section to be heard. In the short time given to you before the Listening passage begins, which is usually only about ten,twenty or thirty second at most, you should do your best to predict what you will hear.

When the conversation, interview or lecture begins, the first item to listen for is the example. Sometimes, the example is heard first and then again when the passage is played  full; in other IELTs Listening test it is heard once only 

LEARN TO PREDICT.

There are many types of IELTS Listening questions tasks 

. Matching tasks

. Multiple choice tasks

. Short-Answer question tasks

. True/False tasks

. Sentence completion tasks

. Chart/ Table completion tasks

. Gapfill tasks

. Diagram labelling tasks

In the Listening test you use your four skills at once. It is not surprising that candidates often find this the most demanding of the four tests. You need to be able to;

. Read the instructions and questions.

. Listen for general information.

. Listen for specific information.

. Write the answer as you listen for the answers to the question that follow.

Before each listening passage, in the given to you to look at each section in the test booklet, you should try to predict information about the Listening passage situation. Predict the number of people involved and what they might be doing and planning. Try especially to predict what they might say and the words they might use.

You are given only a short time to look at the questions before the Listening passage. However,to score well in the Listening Test you need to develop the ability to think ahead. The more effectively  you can predict,the quicker your mind will form the correct word association to make with the topic, and the better you will be able to work out the meaning of what you hear.
