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.

生龙活虎

Toujours plus haut !
- On m’appelle le grand aigle. Quand j’étais tout petit, je n’avais que du duvet blanc sur les ailes. Il ne fallait pas bouger du nid. Je voyais passer les nuages dans le ciel et je me disais: Vivement que je sois grand!
Et maintenant, regardez-moi au-dessus des montagnes, dans le ciel! Je tourne en vol plané en étalant mes longues ailes! Je suis un aigle et je vole même au-dessus des nuages!

Des Milliers D'histoires

Histoire 39 - Toujours plus haut !

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
昨日、北海道から大阪へ飛行機で移動しました。
今週、大阪と岡山で用事があるので、大阪へ来ました。

ということで、昨日大阪に来て思ったことを話します。
1つ目は、とてもむし暑い！
前に住んでいたからわかりますが、たぶん、大阪では少し涼しくなってきたんだろうと思います。夜は風もありました。でも、北海道から移動してくると、やっぱりもわっとする感じがあります。少し熱気があるというか。北海道だとさらっとしている感じですね。関西空港の自動ドアを出た時に1番はじめにそれを感じました。

2つ目。虫の声が秋を感じさせます。
夏はセミがとても激しく鳴いていたと思いますが、夏から秋に変わると、特に夜はジーーという虫の鳴き声が聞こえます。あれは何の虫なのかいまだにわかりませんが。北海道では、そういう虫の声はあまり聞かないので、昨日夜歩いていて、あ、秋になっていってるんだな、と感じました。

3つ目。電車が早い、安い！
昨日、関西空港についてから、家まで電車で帰りました。
60キロ近くの距離を電車で1時間半ぐらいで帰りました。¥1,300ぐらいでした。北海道だと、千歳から札幌まで30キロちょっとあります。30分ほどでつけるので早いですが、¥980ぐらいかかるので、少し高く感じます。大阪ー京都だと45キロぐらいで、JRで¥570でした。なので、やっぱり北海道は少し電車が高く感じます。

今日は大阪に帰ってきて、感じた3つのことを話しました！
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
