14 Listening tips for your IELTS exam

    Attempt all questions – there are no penalties for incorrect answers.
    Watch out for plurals in answers. If the question requires a plural answer, a singular answer is incorrect.
    Answers appear in the order they are heard in the audio. They come quickly or with large gaps between them.
    Prepare to hear a potential answer that is not the actual answer. This is common when two people are making plans. They first agree on meeting at a certain time, but then one remembers that they cannot so they decide on a new time.
    Take care when you transfer your answers and pay attention to the word limit for your answers on your answer sheet!
    Multiple-choice answers will ask for a letter (a, b, c, d). Write the letter and not the corresponding answer.
    When asked to complete a sentence using no more than two words, and the correct answer is “leather coat,” then “a coat made of leather” is incorrect. Same goes for numbers.
    Hyphenated words (like “part-time”) are considered as one word.

    Focus on what the speaker is saying not how they say it.
    Don’t take notes in complete sentences – jot down the key points and abbreviate. You only need to write down enough to help your memory later.
    Get the habit of distinguishing between essential and non-essential information. If two people are talking about making plans for a dinner date, the important information is the date/time they finally agree upon. Other dates/times they considered become irrelevant.
    Try to guess what the speaker is going to say. Speakers, will often drop clue words or outline what they will to talk about beforehand. This gives you the ability to start your own outline to then fill in.
    Listen to the audio while reading the audio script. This will help you get a sense of how questions are spaced out, as well as learning some useful common expressions that are frequently used in listening tests.

In questa puntata vediamo la storia della nutella, la crema spalmabile più famosa d'Italia. 
Ecco parte del testo:

La Nutella® è una crema spalmabile inventata in Italia nel 1964 e oggi famosa in tutto il mondo. La Nutella nasce nelle colline delle Langhe, in Piemonte, dove c'è l'ingrediente principale: la nocciola.  La Nutella piace a tutti, bambini, ragazzi e adulti. Inoltre si mangia in ogni momento della giornata: al mattino a colazione, al pomeriggio a merenda e alla sera come dolce.  Qual è il motivo del suo grande successo? Ripercorriamo l'incredibile storia di questo famoso prodotto italiano.  Siamo ad Alba, in Piemonte, subito dopo la seconda guerra mondiale. A quel tempo è molto difficile trovare il cacao, ma il pasticcere Pietro Ferrero, nel suo laboratorio di dolci, riesce a trasformare questo problema in una grande opportunità. Pietro inventa una pasta dolce con poco cacao, zucchero e nocciole, raccolte in abbondanza in queste terre. Nel 1946 nasce l'antenato della Nutella: il Giandujot. Ha la forma di un panetto1 avvolto dalla carta stagnola, è solido e può essere tagliato a fette da mettere sul pane. Pietro lo chiama il "dolce degli umili", cioè il dolce di quelle persone modeste come operai, muratori, contadini, che nell'ora della colazione possono comprarlo a basso costo e mangiarlo in mezzo a due fette di pane. L'estate del 1949 però è particolarmente .....
