28-Day Planner: Week 4

Listening Section 4

  • is a lecture
  • has a topic related to the key IELTS topics listed here
  • is usually a gapfill
  • requires practise with spelling and word formation

The normal rules apply to all parts of the Listening Test:

  • Read the title
  • Read through the questions
  • Anticipate answers
  • Guess the gaps
  • Check your spelling
  • Avoid distractors
  • Listen for synonyms

One of the key skills is keeping your place, as there is no ‘pause’ in this part, and you’re probably getting tired and starting to lose focus.

As we saw in Part 3 there are a very clear signals and signposts that you need to train yourself to become more aware of.

These will lead you to the answers.

Signal types:

  1. Ordering and numbering
  2. Rhetorical questions
  3. Fillers
For more detail on all of these points, please see my lesson:
‘How to recognise signals and signposts in Listening Part 3’.

I’ve got a very busy life and IELTS Academy was time-saving for me that it involves everything about IELTS in one place. Fiona is an excellent teacher with passion and kindness to all of her students. She helped me a lot with IELTS and I improved my scores significantly in a very short time. Some days I had no spare time for studying and I listened her podcasts when I was driving to work and it also helped me a lot! I strongly recommend this course to all IELTS candidates.

IELTS with Fiona reviews Ipek
The Academy gave me clear guidelines, study materials and methods to lead me into a high IELTS performance. As I have a super busy career and family life, my study time is very limited. When I first decided to take an IELTS test, I even didn't know where to start. After studying with Fiona for a while, in the first IELTS test, I got Band 8! Thank you so much for your hard work and your professionalism, Fiona!!!
