IELTS Listening: How to label a map
Watch the video for my tips on how to label a map.
- Listen for the ‘2-part’ instruction. The first half of the statement gives you the general location to guide your eye e.g. ‘in the western section’ and the second part of the statement gives you a more precise location ‘between two paths’.
- There will often be 2 options in a similar location, so you need to listen to BOTH parts of the instruction to avoid the distractor (the trick).
Write the correct letter A-L, next to questions 17-20.
17. bird hide ……………………
18. dog walking area………………..
19. flower garden ……………
20. wooded area…………………….
17. A – As you can see, there’s a lake in the northwest of the park, with a bird hide to the west of it, at the end of a path.
18. I – Fairly close to where refreshments are available, there’s a dog-walking area in the southern part of the park
19. F – you can go to the flower garden: that’s the circular area on the map surrounded by paths.
20. E – And finally, there’s a wooded area in the western section of the park, between two paths.
