How to avoid distraction mistakes on IELTS Listening?

 Listen carefully even if you’ve heard the answer: it may be corrected and
the right answer will come afterwards.
 Pay attention to words-indicators: “no”, “sorry”, “mistake”. These words
indicate that the wrong answer will be corrected soon.
 Keep in mind that such distractions are very common for Part 1 of
the listening test.
 Be careful when you hear numbers or names: they often get corrected.

To avoid such mistakes, make sure you:

1. Write words if you’re asked to write words, and write numbers if you’re
asked to write numbers.
2. Don’t exceed the word limit.
3. Answer the question with relevant information

Example 2. Write NO MORE THAN ONE WORD for each answer.

IELTS Listening Practice: reading questions


attentively
Exercise 1: write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.

How long has the woman been living in the town? ________

What is going on in the park? __________

Exercise 2: tick ALL the correct answers.

Which animals did Lucy adopt?

 dog
 cat
 parrot
 goldfish

Exercise 3: answer the questions below with NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR
A NUMBER.

How old is Mr. Northwood? ___________ years old.

How old is Paul? _________ years old.


Strategy 1: don’t immediately pick up the first answer choice you
hear.

You will often hear all of the answer choices in the audio. And only one of them
is correct, the other two are meant to confuse you! So don’t straightaway
choose the answer you hear the first as it may be incorrect. So listen carefully
and wait until the speaker finishes giving information about the current
question.

Let’s try to use this strategy in the first example.

Example 1.

Only rescue birds that are

A. all alone
B. sitting on the ground
C. obviously injured

Strategy 2: know that answers may come in a different order.

Unlike other questions types in IELTS Listening, multiple choice questions don’t
necessarily have their answer choices coming in the same order as you hear
them in the audio. So don’t worry if you first hear the third answer choice - it
doesn’t mean you’ve missed the previous two, as answers often come in a
different order.
Strategy 3: mind that answers are often paraphrased.
You shouldn’t be waiting for a 100% match - the answer choice can differ from
what you hear as it can be paraphrased. To approach multiple choice questions
effectively, look through the answer choices while listening to the question
being discussed. Do it to get a general idea of answer choices.

Now let’s use strategies 2 and 3 in the second example.

Example 2.

What is the best way of protection from harmful bacteria?

A. following hygiene rules

C. visiting doctor regularly
