href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/ielts-general-training-practice-tests\/\">like other parts of the sections<\/a>, is designed to evaluate people\u2019s English level from beginners all the way through to C2 level. As it\u2019s designed to measure everyone, it\u2019s normal that there are parts of the test that you don\u2019t understand, especially later on in the test. Don\u2019t worry &#8211; simply answer what you can even If you\u2019re not sure. You don\u2019t get negative points for a wrong answer.<\/p>\n<p>The test is made up of 40 questions, split into 4 sections. The test gets progressively harder as you progress from section to section, so Part 1 is the easiest and Part 4 is the most difficult. <strong>Remember: You\u2019ll only hear the listening once, so you need to concentrate!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>What Abilities Does the Listening Section Measure?<\/h3>\n<p>The Listening section measures your ability to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Understand basic conversations and everyday social context<\/li>\n<li>Focus and note precise information (prices, phone numbers, names\u2026)<\/li>\n<li>Understand a discussion between several speakers set in an everyday situation<\/li>\n<li>Comprehend a longer monologue on educational or training context<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your score for the Listening section will improve if you are more familiar with the test and the different sections. It is also important to see the different types of question papers and understand where it\u2019s easy to make a mistake.<\/p>\n<h2>IELTS Listening Practice Tests With Corrections<\/h2>\n<p>By doing IELTS listening practice and working through the corrections, your score (and your English!) will improve. <strong>The test itself lasts 30 minutes and then you have 10 minutes to transfer your answer to the answer sheet.<\/strong> Use this time to check your answers carefully!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check your spelling and that you have answered the questions in the correct way.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example, if the question is (student discussing an assignment):<\/p>\n<p>How long is her break? ______________ minutes<\/p>\n<p>You write \u201c40 minutes\u201d &#8211; unfortunately you\u2019re wrong! Your answers need to be grammatically correct as well as accurate. So, the correct answer is \u201c15\u201d or \u201cfifteen\u201d. This is the type of thing you can check in the 10 minutes when you\u2019re transferring your answers. Similarly, read the questions carefully. <strong>If the question says: \u201cUsing one number and \/ or two words\u201d, you cannot write three words. <\/strong> It seems confusing, but with a bit of practice, it gets much easier!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have a closer look at the first part of the test.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-53516-_uw1lkuousuv0\"><\/a>IELTS Listening Practice Test Part 1: Short Conversation<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/ielts-listening-part-1\/\">The first part of the IELTS Listening test<\/a> is a brief conversation between two people. When the test starts, you\u2019ll be given some time to read the questions before the listening begins. During the first listening section there may be a short pause to let you read the next set of questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A favourite IELTS question in Part 1 is for a phone number or a name. <\/strong>Make sure you\u2019re comfortable with numbers and the alphabet.This part is not easy to get points. Often when they\u2019re reading the name or the number, the speaker will realise it\u2019s wrong and go back and change their answer, so be careful!<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53517\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-46.png\" alt=\"audio exercise example\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-46-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-46-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-46-400x267.png 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-46-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-46-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-46-800x533.png 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-46-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-46.png 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the example above you have the choice of three answers. The test is evaluating firstly whether you can tell the difference between <strong>one<\/strong> hundred and <strong>two <\/strong>hundred and secondly between <strong>twenty<\/strong>, <strong>thirty<\/strong> and <strong>forty. <\/strong>If you\u2019re not sure you can hear the difference, you can click and hold on the progress bar and rewind the listening. When you\u2019re training, you should do this until you are sure you\u2019ve heard the correct answer.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53518\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-47.png\" alt=\"answer to exam question\" width=\"760\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-47-200x48.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-47-300x72.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-47-400x96.png 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-47-600x143.png 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-47-768x184.png 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-47-800x191.png 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-47.png 996w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You will find explanations about correct and incorrect answers. When you finish, <strong>remember to read the transcript to check your answers and note down any new vocabulary!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-53516-_8f9i9fxqhb0h\"><\/a>IELTS Listening Sample Test Part 2: Monologue<\/h3>\n<p>In the second part of the Listening section, you\u2019ll hear a monologue &#8211; often it\u2019s someone giving information about concert tickets, or visiting a park for example. The type of information you\u2019ll be given includes times and places, prices, things to remember and so on. Although the speaker may talk slightly slower than in Part 1, they will pause less. You should concentrate the most. It could become more challenging for test takers with a lower level of English.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have a look at the following example:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53519\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-48.png\" alt=\"transcription of an audio question\" width=\"716\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-48-200x168.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-48-300x253.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-48-400x337.png 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-48-600x505.png 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/word-image-48.png 716w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re reading this and thinking: \u201cWow! That\u2019s difficult!\u201d &#8211; be warned! This is about a quarter of the actual complete transcript!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/ielts-listening-part-2\/\">IELTS Listening Part 2<\/a> lasts between 5 and 7 minutes and is one person speaking, so you really need to focus. Again, use the time given to read the questions carefully and try to pick out the key information you need to listen for.<\/p>\n<p>For example, with question 1:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53536 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-1-e1625502064713.png\" alt=\"multiple choice question example\" width=\"412\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-1-e1625502064713-200x165.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-1-e1625502064713-300x248.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-1-e1625502064713-400x330.png 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-1-e1625502064713.png 412w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The key information here is \u201cwhen\u201d and \u201csee Sarah\u201d. As with the Reading, you don\u2019t need to understand every word, but you do need to find the key information as quickly as possible! It\u2019s why using IELTS listening sample tests is so useful!<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-53516-_dcp577bm6lda\"><\/a>IELTS Listening Practice Test Part 3: Long Conversation<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/ielts-listening-part-3\/\">IELTS Listening Part 3<\/a> is another conversation, but this time is longer and the subject will be more complicated. A typical example would be two students discussing a project they need to do &#8211; they\u2019ll decide who needs to do what, when the deadline is, what the next step is and so on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Typically the grammar and the vocabulary in Part 3 is more difficult than in Parts 1 and 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use the time given to read the questions carefully and pick out the key information you need to listen out for. If there is a word you don\u2019t understand in a question, don\u2019t panic &#8211; it may just be there as a distraction!<\/p>\n<p>A good example of this is the following:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53533\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-2-e1625501930349.png\" alt=\"multiple choice question example\" width=\"494\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-2-e1625501930349-200x138.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-2-e1625501930349-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-2-e1625501930349-400x276.png 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-2-e1625501930349.png 511w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 494px) 100vw, 494px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The three dishes are very common in the UK, but it\u2019s possible you aren\u2019t familiar with any of them. It doesn\u2019t matter &#8211; you only need to listen for which one they like. Very often when there is something like this in the listening, the speaker will explain what it is at some point. Perhaps the other speaker will say: \u201cBangers and Mash? What\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The more practice papers you do, the more you\u2019ll hear how the questions are structured and used. The more comfortable you feel with the style of questions, the better you\u2019ll understand!<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-53516-_da32ejufy95m\"><\/a>IELTS Listening Sample Test Part 4: Lecture<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/ielts-listening-part-4\/\">Part 4 of the Listening Section <\/a><strong>is easily the most difficult<\/strong>. Not only is it a long monologue, but it\u2019s speaking about an academic subject! In addition to this, you\u2019ve already been concentrating for the last twenty minutes on Parts 1, 2 and 3!<\/p>\n<p>One of the best things you can do to train for Part 4 is to expand your knowledge in English as much as possible. Read and listen to many different subjects &#8211; the environment, restaurant reviews, articles on dinosaurs&#8230; Anything will be good training! <strong>A good tool to help you is the Social and\/or the World &amp; Environment section on GlobalExam\u2019s vocabulary training documents. <\/strong>Subjects covered include money, the media, countryside and farming and these are all examples of the types of topic that could be covered in Part 4.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The more vocabulary you know, the easier you\u2019ll understand what the speaker is saying!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example question from Part 4:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53531 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-22-e1625501823980.png\" alt=\"multiple choice question example\" width=\"363\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-22-e1625501823980-200x187.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-22-e1625501823980-300x281.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/question-22-e1625501823980.png 363w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Simply from the question, you can see it\u2019s far more complicated than Parts 1 and 2!<\/p>\n<p>Part 4 is really designed to separate B2 levels from C1 and C2. The level of vocabulary and grammar is much higher, and a typical A2 level will find Part 4 very difficult to understand. This doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s impossible but it gives you an idea of how much work you\u2019ll need to do if you\u2019re aiming for a B2 result!<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-53516-_sh4cey13f08l\"><\/a>Start Training For The IELTS Listening Practice Test Online<\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s where GlobalExam can really help test takers.
