As you may already know, the IELTS Listening Section is divided into 4 exercises.<\/p>\n<p>Listening part 2 puts you in an \u2018<strong>everyday social situation<\/strong>\u2019 that you might encounter in an English-speaking country.<\/p>\n<p>You hear a recording of a <strong>monologue<\/strong> about the situation. Examples include: a tourist information officer talking about a tour, a museum guide explaining where different parts of the museum are, a person describing the benefits of joining an organisation like a fitness club, or a radio advice program about a product or an event. You need to fill in information or answer questions.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53902\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/black-headphones-on-a-table.jpg\" alt=\"black headphones on a table\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/black-headphones-on-a-table-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/black-headphones-on-a-table-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/black-headphones-on-a-table-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/black-headphones-on-a-table-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/black-headphones-on-a-table-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/black-headphones-on-a-table-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/black-headphones-on-a-table-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/black-headphones-on-a-table-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/black-headphones-on-a-table.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>IELTS Academic Listening Part 2 Sample Questions and Exercises<\/h2>\n<p>Being familiar with a test can really make a difference to your final result, which is why preparation is so important. Now that you know what to expect from Part 2 of the IELTS Academic Listening section, let\u2019s have a look at some sample questions and exercises.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Practice Test Sample Question 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As you may know, the instructions are very important in IELTS. For this sample question, the instructions are the following:<\/p>\n<p><em>Complete the sentences below.<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND \/ OR A NUMBER for each answer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, you cannot write more than three words, but three words is fine. You can also write one number if needed. You should be meticulous, as it\u2019s an easy way to lose points.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, IELTS often looks at studying abroad. In this extract, you\u2019ll see someone welcoming students to a Hall of Residence:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>So why Live On Campus? Living in the halls provides an invaluable complement to your academic career. Living and Learning are the hallmarks of the residential experience. Check out the halls, and find out what&rsquo;s happening in your hall and then get involved!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For this particular example, you have a text to complete:<\/p>\n<p><em>On-Campus living adds an 1 \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.. to your four years at CSU.<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Today, the speaker is only going to mention 2 \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026. possible residences.<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Alumni Hall is solely composed of 100% 3 \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.. bedrooms, one room per student.<br \/>\n<\/em><em>4 \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.. is found in the basement of Alumni Hall.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Remember, even if you don\u2019t know the correct answer, <strong>write something<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>IELTS Practice Sample Question 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You may sometimes need to complete a diagram or table for Part 2:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53896\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-exercise-about-global-warming.png\" alt=\"ielts exam exercise about global warming\" width=\"400\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-exercise-about-global-warming-200x208.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-exercise-about-global-warming-288x300.png 288w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-exercise-about-global-warming-400x416.png 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-exercise-about-global-warming.png 426w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As always, make sure you read the instructions carefully so that you use the correct number of words and \/ or numbers!<\/p>\n<p>Part 2 can often be a teacher presenting part of a lecture or explaining a certain point. As you can see from the example below, the language may be quite formal:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Greenhouse gases are atmospheric gases that exist to keep our planet warm and prevent warmer air from leaving our planet. So they are important, right? However, Greenhouse gases are enhanced by industrial processes.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When you\u2019re preparing for the test, it\u2019s important to look at <strong>both informal and formal language<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<h3>Sample Question 3<\/h3>\n<p>Another important point to study is the words we use for sequencing: \u201cfirst, then, before that\u201d. Some IELTS questions will be looked at particularly at this point.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53903 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-sample-question-1.png\" alt=\"ielts exam sample question\" width=\"538\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-sample-question-1-200x123.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-sample-question-1-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-sample-question-1-400x245.png 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-sample-question-1.png 538w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, the questions here are presented as a timeline. So it\u2019s vital that you understand when an action happened.<\/p>\n<p>In the extract below, you\u2019ll see some words for sequencing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>It took dedication, time and the vulnerability to know when and how to ask for help but I was finally headed to the place of academic enrichment that I had long dreamed of!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>By now, I had earned my associates degree in human services and was beginning to pursue an undergraduate bachelor&rsquo;s degree in social work at my state\u2019s top university.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Once classes began at university, my excitement only began to expand. I was thrilled to realize how well community college had prepared me for success at the university level.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Finally\u2019, \u2018by now\u2019 and \u2018once\u2019 are all words used to help understand when something happened and make it easier for the listener.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Sample Question 4<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the questions will be presented on a table for you to complete:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53900\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-question-about-universities-1.png\" alt=\"ielts exam question about universities\" width=\"760\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-question-about-universities-1-200x91.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-question-about-universities-1-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-question-about-universities-1-400x183.png 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-question-about-universities-1-600x274.png 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-question-about-universities-1-768x351.png 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-question-about-universities-1-800x366.png 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-exam-question-about-universities-1.png 975w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Remember, for the listening you have 10 minutes at the end to transfer your answers to the official answer sheet. Therefore, do not hesitate to take notes while you\u2019re listening.<\/p>\n<p>In the transcript you can see all of the information presented for Dorchester for example:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Dorchester is Boston\u2019s largest and oldest neighborhood, and is home to UMass Boston. Dorchester&rsquo;s demographic diversity has been a well-sustained tradition of the neighborhood, and long-time residents blend with more recent immigrants. A number of smaller communities compose the greater neighborhood, including Codman Square, Jones Hill, Meeting House Hill, Pope&rsquo;s Hill, Savin Hill, Harbor Point, Lower Mills, and Port Norfolk. Malibu and Tenean Beaches offer summertime recreation and numerous parks are scattered through the area.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Before Part 2 starts, <strong>try to quickly read through the questions<\/strong> to have an idea of the type of information you need to listen out for!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sample Question 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the questions can also be a simple multiple choice question.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Which of the following has Corizon been accused of?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Animal cruelty.<\/em><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Hiring strictly felons.<\/em><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Misspending federal money.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Often in the listening, you\u2019ll need to listen out for a <strong>synonym<\/strong> of a word which appears in the question. For example, here \u2018misspending\u2019 is rephrased as \u2018mismanagement.\u2019<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>I was not at all shocked to learn about the claims of human rights abuses, mismanagement of state and federal funds or that Corizon has been implicated in a culture of negligence. Additionally, I did not find it at all shocking that Corizon operates almost exclusively in punitively focused, republican lead states with highly developed private prison systems as central drivers of economic growth.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>By testing your knowledge of synonyms, the IELTS Listening test can see your range of <strong>vocabulary<\/strong>. Therefore, when you\u2019re studying, make sure you keep this in mind.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sample Question 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>IELTS looks at both academic and work life. Subjects could be about job interviews, CVs and speaking about your career.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53901 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-test-sample-question.png\" alt=\"ielts test sample exercise\" width=\"357\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-test-sample-question-200x137.png 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-test-sample-question-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ielts-test-sample-question.png 357w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You should be familiar with different types of qualifications (Masters, Bachelor\u2019s\u2026) as these often come up in IELTS!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have a look at an extract from the listening:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>I&rsquo;ve been a pharmacist now for roughly about 10 years and when I registered as a pharmacist I worked as what\u2019s called a junior pharmacist for a number of years and then steadily I gained promotion and I got my current post of senior clinical pharmacist about a year ago and I\u2019ve also completed a masters in clinical pharmacy which is available once you\u2019ve had a few years of experience working as a pharmacist.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sometimes you may find that you get all the answers quite early on in the listening section. If is the case, use the extra time to start looking at the next questions!<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, there is a lot of variety to Part 2 of the IELTS Listening Section. You need to be familiar with both different types of questions and the different subjects.<strong> On our e-learning platform you can have access to many listening questions<\/strong>. You can listen to the audio and have explanations of the correct and incorrect answers.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does the Listening Part 2 Scoring System Work?<\/h2>\n<p>There are <strong>10 questions<\/strong> worth one mark each, so the maximum score for this section is ten. To be awarded a mark, you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">spell the word(s) correctly<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">use appropriate punctuation (like capital letters for names)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">show that you understand some \u2018conventions\u2019 for how we write things in English<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, when writing the floors of a building, we write \u201c3rd\/third floor\u201d, not \u201c3\/three floor\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Also remember to check the word limit. IELTS tasks usually include an instruction such as \u201cWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND\/OR A NUMBER\u201d at the top of the page. It\u2019s vitally important to read this, because candidates frequently lose marks for writing too many words in their answers.<\/p>\n<h2>How Can You Prepare For the IELTS Listening Section Online With Globalexam?<\/h2>\n<p>Firstly, practise this part of the test as often as you can. As you hear more examples of recordings for Section 2, you will start to become familiar.<\/p>\n<p>You should also revise prepositions of place, and try to increase the number of these that you know. For example, you probably know the preposition \u201cnext to\u201d, but are you familiar with synonyms like \u201cright by\u201d and \u201cbeside\u201d? What about other expressions like \u201cacross from the gift shop\u201d and \u201cbeyond the car park\u201d? Make a list of expressions like these in your vocabulary notebook.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, one of the worst things that can happen in the Listening section is that you lose the sequence of the talk in the recording. To prevent this, try to look at two or three questions ahead. By doing this, if you miss one answer, you won\u2019t get \u2018lost\u2019. It might seem difficult at first, but with practice this skill becomes easier, and it can improve your score dramatically.
