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.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天继续和大家聊一聊一些有趣的颜色短语。颜色我们一般用“深”和“浅”来形容。例如，浅蓝色，light blue，深蓝色，dark blue。如果一件衣服的颜色很多，或者很亮，我们可以说这件衣服颜色很鲜艳。“给点儿颜色看看”你知道是什么意思吗？它的意思是“让对方知道你的厉害，使对方感到害怕。”例如“他总是欺负我的好朋友，今天我要给他点儿颜色看看。”
我们来看看黑色有什么有意思的用法。第一个，黑心，一个人的心是黑色的，说明他的心很坏。例如“他是一个黑心商人，为了赚钱竟然卖过期的食品。”第二个，黑车。黑车不只是黑色的车，还有一个意思是“不合法经营的出租车”。如果一个人不小心上了黑车，那是很危险的。第三个，“拉黑”，拉到黑名单。如果你的微信上有一个朋友，你不想再收到他的信息，那你可以把他拉黑。最后一个，“黑脸”。如果我们说：“他黑着脸”，意思是他很不高兴。
接着我们来看看白色。第一个，小白，我们说一个人是小白，意思是他没有经验。例如“我刚接触这个工作，还是个小白，要向各位多多学习。”第二个，“白”加动词或者形容词。例如，“我去他公司找他，结果他不在，我白跑一趟了。”“本来以为他能陪我过生日，结果他要加班，我白高兴一场。这里的“白”是没有结果的意思。
哪个用法你觉得最有意思呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

不知道大家是否了解，在中国，这个冬天，热带的海南三亚遇到了一个强劲的竞争对手，那就是东北的哈尔滨。

哈尔滨宏大壮丽的冰雪节，吸引了全国各地的游客争相前往游玩。这其中，南方的朋友们被亲切地称呼为“南方小土豆”。他们穿羽绒服的可爱样子，在大家眼中就像是胖乎乎的“小土豆”，在哈尔滨受到了极其热情的欢迎。

哈尔滨人的热情，让游客们赞不绝口，火遍了中国的互联网。没有见过雪的“南方小土豆”们满足了心愿，哈尔滨人的盛情款待，也使得哈尔滨的城市形象大大提高了。

媒体说，这真是一场双向奔赴，互相成就呀。

好了，希望你喜欢今天的内容，这里是茶时话中文，我是Penny，我们下次见。
