IELTS Listening – Top 14 tips!

I got 100 :) thanks for this useful video Emma, I’m going to take the TOEFL test and I guess that I could take this tips too, thank you so much for this information :)

carmen912

hi Carmen.im interested in taking the toefl too.where in Monterrey you are taking it

cupil27

I’ll take it in my university.

carmen912

Hi Carmen, as far as I know the TOEFL test follows a different format. Apart from that, it does not integrate language skills as the IELTS does.

However, some of Emma’s Tips could help you out with the listening part of that test.

All the best to you on the test!!!

Regino

Just a brief comment on the IELTS and TOEFL exams:

Unlike the TOEFL exam, the IELTS measures actual language skills. For example, in the writing and speaking sections test takers actually write and speak.

As far as I can tell, TOEFL measures these two language skills indirectly.

Thanks very much Emma for these useful tips for the IELTS listening test.

Take care.

Regino

i want same result in exam

Honey1993

Plz share with your actual score. thank you

The subtitles are from youtube, don’t trust them

xnenox

Emma, thank you very much for this lesson. I have a question: if I write down “lunch time” instead of “lunch time” or “four door car” instead of “four-door car” it would be wrong? I would appreciate very much if you can answer this. Thanks

noracr712

sorry, “lunch time” instead of “lunchtime”

noracr712

HI, Emma, your lessons are so great. I have done the TOEIC exam and my mark was very horrible. I heard that the IELTS is more difficult than the TOEIC. so I am really confused. I don’t know my level and I don’t know how I should learn. please give me some advise.

Hello Emma,
I am new to this forum, so I am unaware of the rules. I hope its okay to ask this question here.

I had a question related to listening and hope you can help me.
In the context of dates in IELTS listening section, if the question asks the date of birth and the instruction mentions one word and or/number, which of the following is correct?( the recording mentioned date of birth as 31st March 1972
Q. Date of Birth:……………………………………….)

A.31 March
B.March 1972
C.31/3/1972
Are all of these acceptable?

I will really appreciate the help.

Hi Emma, nice to see you. Honestly I’m really happy to join your site, it’s amazing! now I will be able to learn those things which are really important to use in English conversation. But I’m a little confused about passive voice and active voice because now I’m learning French in France and it’s equal way of passive voice but if I clear in English, I will be easily learn French passive voice and it help me a lot,
So could you mind to explain me by video please, I hope you will teach me. RSVP
