questions carefully to predict what you'll hear.
2.
Listen for
Keywords: Focus on names, numbers, dates, and
places — they are often answers.
3.
Watch for
Paraphrasing: The audio may say "cost"
while the question says "price" — learn synonyms.
4.
Beware of
Distractors: Speakers often correct themselves —
e.g., "It's on Monday... actually, Tuesday."

Spelling
Matters: IELTS penalizes spelling mistakes.
Practice spelling common words like accommodation, receipt, schedule.

Follow the
Order: Questions usually follow the order
of the audio.
8.
Don't
Panic if You Miss One: Move on
quickly — you'll lose more answers if you dwell.

& 2: Focus on everyday situations —
bookings, directions, appointments.
10.

lectures, and research topics.
