hello my name's liz and in this lesson I'm going to give you all the essential
0:08
information and tips that you need to be successful in your IELTS listening test
0:13
we're going to start by reviewing the exam content and then we will move on
0:19
and i will give you a lot of useful tips
0:23
there is only one IELTS listening test
0:28
all I out students take the same listening test
0:31
so if you're taking academic IELTS or general training IELTS you all take the
0:37
same test the same questions
0:40
the same format and the same scoring it is exactly the same for everyone having
0:49
a look at the content of the listening test
0:52
there are four sections and there are 40 questions in total
0:57
now the sections the first two sections are the easiest and they are social
1:05
that means the context of the situation is a social situation and everyday
1:12
situation and the last two sections are more difficult
1:18
they are academic in content now section one has two speakers a social situation
1:26
now a typical example is a phone conversation where somebody is
1:32
registering for a course
1:35
so for example they need to book a course and they need to know what date
1:39
they need your name
1:41
they need your address your telephone number or perhaps your booking a table
1:48
at a restaurant or organizing to meet someone and you need to think of the
1:52
time that you're going to meet
1:54
so it's very specific information and it is quite easy and it's quite easy to
2:01
improve that section
2:03
the next one number two is also social so in everyday situation but is only one
2:10
speaker
2:11
a typical example would be a tour guide
2:14
so that it would be a tour guide explaining about a resort
2:20
so what facilities there are all the history behind the resort
2:25
another example could be for example talking about historic building or
2:31
talking about a charity a company or an organization
2:35
section three the academic the first academic section and that has three to
2:43
four speakers
2:44
now this is challenging because it's a discussion and academic discussion now
2:50
when you got three to four speakers that means you've got different voices and
2:54
you have to be able to identify who is speaking and who is saying what
3:00
so that could be quite challenging but the most difficult is a section for that
3:06
is only one speaker in it is an academic lecture the listening test takes 40
3:13
minutes in total
3:16
30 minutes off for the audio so that means you have 30 minutes to listen to
3:21
the recording and answer the questions at the end of the 30 minutes
3:27
you are given another 10 minutes and that is so that you can transfer your
3:32
answers from the question paper which is where you write your answers when you're
3:37
