Tips For Listening:
If you have been watching a lot of Hollywood movies or news channels like BBC, "listening" can come quite easily to you. However overconfidence can hamper the way you write you text. IELTS isn't always about a good command over the English language. It is about how less confused you can get. It might get difficult at first to comprehend the accent that you hear but a little practice, you can get there. Listening is more about practice than skills.
TIPS:
1. Read & Predict:
Time is of the essence. Therefore read first and try to guess or predict your answer.It simply means first you read the questions so that you exactly know what you are going to hear.
2.Understand your question:
It's not only about listening properly. It is about trying to find the correct word for your question. Mistakes can happen if you don't concentrate on the question.
3.In a set:
Be prepared to answer two questions in a set. You need to keep track of what is going to come next.It means you need to get ready for the next question immediately.
4. Start writing immediately:
Don't wait for the entire dialogue to end so that you can start writing. Begin writing straight away but focus on what is being said as well.
5.Check:
Check if you have made any spelling mistakes. This is also an important suggestion whenever you have to write down numbers.
6.Shorthand:
You will have 10 minutes to write down everything at the end. Therefore if you can, answer everything in shorthand while you are listening.
7. Not quick but sensible:
Some of the dialogues will try to confuse you. They can say a particular word but the next moment they change the word. So don't be too quick on writing.
8.Write, write, write:
Do not leave any answer blank. Your guesses colud be right sometimes and you can get confused while writing your answers in order.
