IELTS Listening Part 1 Tips
1. Practice Listening for Everyday Details:
- Part 1 is usually about daily-life situations (e.g., booking a room, making a reservation). Familiarize yourself with this type of content by listening to similar dialogues.
2. Focus on Numbers, Names, and Dates:
- This section often tests your ability to catch specific details such as addresses, phone numbers, or dates. Stay alert, especially when numbers are involved.
3. Predict the Type of Information:
- Read the questions before the recording starts to predict what kind of information you will need (e.g., names, prices).
4. Use Your Preparation Time Wisely:
- Quickly go through the questions before the recording begins. This will give you an idea of what information to listen for.
