The first part of the book works through a Practice test, section by section, following the structure of a typical IELTS Listening test The structure of each section is discussed and the type of questions demonstrated Strategies are suggested for dealing with the various question types as well as for the Listening test in general The recording for this is on Cassette 1 Side A. | Note on question 2 As you listened to the cassette tape you heard Steve say don t really have enough money to fly home . Answer choice B he can t afford it means the same as what Steve says so B is the correct answer. Answer choices in the hooklet are often synonyms for the words you hear as in this example. You can check the rest of your answers with the key to this section in the Appendix see page 94 . If you still have difficulty with the answers rewind your tape and listen to the section again. You should only check with the transcript if you can not get the answers in any other way. The cassette tape will now go on to the instructions for the next stage of Section 1. First you will be told to look at the remaining questions in this section which is a continuation of the dialogue. There is usually no further example for this stage. In this Practice test you will need to match the areas given on a map with the activities the group expect to do in those areas. START YOUR TAPE NOW Listen to the instructions for this stage and study questions 8-11. Questions 8-11 Label the areas of the map to show the activities the group will do in each. There are more activities than you will need. Note Jane does not mention all of the areas. You will have to leave some blank. List of activities rock climbing swimming cycling cliff walks boating hunting horse riding scuba diving birdwatching Copy the letter for the area of the map A-F and the activity against 8 to 11 in any order. Questions 8-11 8 9 10 1 1 STOP YOUR TAPE How to Answer Demonstration STEP 1 OVERVIEW OF THE INSTRUCTIONS Notice that there are no separate written questions here just a list of activ- ities and a map. The instructions tell you what to do with these. Not every Listening test has this type of activity but it is important for you to familiarise yourself thoroughly with instructions of this type so that you will not find them confusing during an actual test. First you must write the activities on the map .
