Predicting the Answer Predicting what you are going to hear is a really important skill that can help improve your listening and increase your score Lesson 6: IELTS Listening Sentence Completion Strategies In this IELTS practice lesson you will learn some strategies to deal with sentence completion questions Lesson 1: IELTS Listening Multiple Choice Tips This lesson has IELTS listening multiple choice tips and strategies to improve your score in the test It shows you how to approach this type of question and highlights some aspects that you should be aware of In this type of question you are usually given three choices of answers It is commonly found in parts two, three and four of the listening test The questions will be harder the further on you get in the sections of the test There are certain things in this kind of question that can easily trip you up and lead to mistakes Learning about these will improve your ability to listen and identify the correct answer There are several reasons why this type of question can be difficult and we'll now look at some IELTS listening multiple choice tips to help you understand this What are the difficulties with IELTS Listening Multiple Choice Questions? Hearing all the words In this type of question, it is very likely that you will hear ALL the words that you are given in each choice Two will obviously not be referring to the answer, so you need to listen very carefully to make sure you get the correct one Similar Choices Another problem is that you may be given very similar choices For example, all the choices may refer to ‘years’, so it is easy to choose the wrong one Also, the information you hear about each choice may be quite similar Paraphrases and synonyms Also, sentences and words that you hear in the listening will often be changed in the actual listening script The test would be quite easy if you could heard exactly what you see in the question, but it will be changed in some way A different order The person you hear speaking may not necessarily give you the information or choices in the same order as the question you see on the paper A Real Example of a Question In this next part of the IELTS listening multiple choice tips, we look at an example to explain the points above a bit more This is taken from a real IELTS test It is from section of the test, so it will be slightly easier than a multiple choice that you would get in sections or 4, but the same principles apply Below the question is the section of the listening script that refers to the question PS Camping has been organising holidays for A 15 years B 20 years C 25 years Thank you for coming to my talk this evening It’s nice to see so many people in the audience For those of you who don’t know very much about PS Camping, let me start by giving you some background information about the company The company started twenty five years ago It actually started as a retail chain selling camping equipment, and then twenty years ago, it bought a small number of campsites in the UK, and began offering camping holidays The company grew rapidly and has been providing holidays in continental Europe for the last fifteen years So you should be able to spot some of the difficult things: • • • • You hear all the words – 25 years, 20 years and 15 years There are similarities in the choices - they are all years with a mix of the numbers ‘twenty’ and ‘five’ in there and they all mention about the company or holidays The question stem has been paraphrased - nowhere does it say “organising holidays” Instead you can see phrases like “began offering holidays” and “providing holidays” This can be particularly confusing because you have to understand which one fits with the question The possible answers are in a different order to the audio – you hear ‘25’ first and ‘15’ last How you answer multiple choice questions? The first thing you need to is look through the questions You have 30 seconds to this before you hear the audio Underline key words in the question stems and look at the choices so you know what to listen out for So in this first one, you may underline “Organised Holidays” You should focus on the question stem but also look at the choices and note that you are listening out for ‘years’ In this case, this sentence should tell you that you have got to the section of the listening where the answer will be: The company started twenty five years ago It actually started as a retail chain selling camping equipment, and then twenty years ago, it bought a small number of campsites in the UK, and began offering camping holidays The company grew rapidly and has been providing holidays in continental Europe for the last fifteen years So when you hear this, make sure you are looking carefully at the question and the choices and listening extremely carefully You need to listen carefully for what is said about each year so that you can identify the right answer: PS Camping has been organising holidays for: A 15 years [has been providing holidays in continental Europe for the last fifteen years] B 20 years [twenty years ago, it bought a small number of campsites in the UK, and began offering camping holidays] C 25 years [The company started twenty five years ago] You can see how the question tries to trick you! It distracts you from the correct answer by giving other statements that are quite similar to the correct answer The answer is B, but you could easily end up thinking it is A or C if you are not listening carefully enough The company started 25 years ago, but that is NOT when they started offering holidays for camping It later clarifies that they did not start offering / organising holidaysuntil years later (20 years ago) when they bought a campsite It is not A because this is just when they starting providing holidaysin Europe, which came later That is not what the question asks The question ask generally Another Example Let’s look at another example, which is the next question, so you further understand the IELTS listening multiple choice tips presented here: The company has most camping sites in A France B Italy C Switzerland _ If you book a camping holiday with us, you'll have a choice of over three hundred sites In Italy we have some 64 sites that we either own, or have exclusive use of France is where we have the majority of sites, and we currently have a project to expand into Switzerland We also have a number of sites in Northern Spain, particularly the mountainous region of Picos de Europa We've upgraded all these Spanish sites, and improved them considerably from their original three-star rating The first sentence in red flags up that you have got to question 2, as does the fact that after this they start talking about countries You'll see again that all the countries / choices are mentioned, meaning you have to listen very carefully to the information about each country You should be able to identify that A is the correct answer, and that a paraphrase of 'most sites' is used: 'majority of sites' Lesson 2: IELTS Listening Distractors In lesson one we looked at a form of IELTS listening distractors This was when you multiple choice type questions and you hear all of the possible choices but only one is correct You can check out that previous lesson here In this lesson we look at another form of distractor which is very common in part one of the IELTS listening test This is when you hear a speaker correct him/herself, or the other speaker will correct them Basically, the speaker will give you a piece of information and you will think that is the right answer But the speaker will then correct what they have said, and the new corrected piece of information will in fact be the right answer Examples of Correction Distractors These two examples of distractors are taken from a real IELTS listening test The distractor is in red / italics and the correct answer is in blue / underlined Example In this situation, a woman is booking a journey into town for when she arrives at Toronto Aiport You have to note down the distance of the town, Milton, from the airport Take a look at the information you have to find in the question Below that is a copy of the listening script that you would hear Question: Distance … miles ************ MAN: Hello, this is Land Transport Information at Toronto Airport How may I help you? WOMAN: Oh, good morning I’m flying to Toronto Airport next week, and I need to get to a town called Milton Could you tell me how I can get there? MAN: Milton, did you say? Let me see I think that’s about 150 miles south-west of here In fact it’s 147 miles to be exact, so it will take you at least – say, three to four hours by road As you can see, you will likely at first think that the answer is 150 miles, but it is actually 147 miles Example Here is another example, further on in the same listening when the woman is arranging to book a hire car to make the journey when she arrives Question: Date of booking _ ************ MAN: OK, I just have to fill out this form for you So what date you want to book this for? WOMAN: The 16th of October – oh, no, sorry, that’s my departure date I arrive on the 17th, so book it for then, please Again, you will likely at first think the answer is the 16th and start to write that down, but she corrects her mistake and confirms the date she needs the car for is the 17th Example Here is another example taken from another real IELTS test Here, a careers advisor is trying to help a student to find a part-time job Question: Position available Clerical Assistant Where ************ Problem Evening Lectures ADVISOR: But you’d need to be there at 6am Does that appeal? STUDENT: Six o’clock in the morning! Oh, that’s far too early for me, I’m afraid I’d never make it that early in the morning ADVISOR: Mmm…Well – there was a position going in the Computer Lab for three days a week that might be OK Ah, here it is! No, it’s in the Library, not the Lab Clerical Assistant required – I think it mostly involves putting the books back on the shelves Oh no – hang on It’s for Wednesday and Friday evening instead STUDENT: No, I can't manage that because of the lectures In the above example, you think the position is the Computer Lab., but it turns out it is in the Library Example This final example is part of the same test as above The advisor is trying to find out the student's room number forget hesitate hope I forgot to take the rubbish out last night She wouldn't hesitate to help a friend in need I hope to leave by 7pm intend The government intends to hold an election in June learn I've learnt to take each day as it comes manage She managed to change her doctors appointment mean Sorry, I didn't mean to arrive so late need I need to get a band to get into Australia offer I offered to drive her to the airport plan I plan to emigrate to the UK this year prepare He's prepared to risk everything by investing in gold pretend The boy pretended to fall over promise The army general promised not to stage a coup refuse He is refusing to take the medicine seem She seemed to be ok yesterday, but now she is worse tend I tend to find that warmer weather makes me feel better threaten The country threatened to invade its neighbour wait I can't wait to go on holiday want The teacher wanted the students to pass The next tables show you some common ways that adjectives and nouns are used with the infinitive Common adjectives preceded by it + be and followed by infinitive ADJECTIVE bad dangerous difficult It is bad to gossip about your friends It is dangerous to drive too fast It was difficult to well in the IELTS reading test easy It is very easy to forget important grammar points

impossible for the charity to help everyone interesting It is interesting to find out about another country necessary It is sometimes necessary to change your plans relaxing EXAMPLE SENTENCE It is relaxing to lie in the sun Common nouns preceded by it + be and followed by infinitive NOUN EXAMPLE SENTENCE a good idea It isn't a good idea to study late at night a bad idea It is a bad idea to spend too long on IELTS Task a mistake It is a mistake to say very little in the IELTS speaking test a pity It was a pity to leave so early a shame It was a shame to break up a waste It will be a waste to throw the food away Common adjectives followed by infinitives ADJECTIVE ashamed EXAMPLE SENTENCE I'm ashamed to admit that I stole the bike bound He is bound (certain) to arrive late - he always does careful He was careful not to wake the baby excited I'm excited to join the local football team glad I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better happy The developer was happy to reduce the price of the house lucky I'm lucky to have so many friends pleased The nurse was pleased to know he was well again proud She was proud to be seen with her father relieved The police were relieved to arrest the criminal at last reluctant I'm reluctant to take the IELTS test again sad shocked sorry surprised sure willing He was sad to see his brother leave I was shocked to find out he had been fired We'll all be sorry to see you go They were surprised to hear he is 50 years old He's sure to win first prize I'm willing to bet you can get a high IELTS score Test yourself in a quiz - gerund and infintive exercises Lesson 11: Gerund and Infinitive Choosing between the gerund and infinitive when they are the object of the sentence can cause a lot of difficulties for students of English If they are the object of the sentence, that means they come after the verb Make sure you look at the previous lessons on gerunds and infinitives to see which one to use after which verb As you will remember from those lessons, some verbs can only be followed by the gerund (not the infinitive) and some verbs can only be followed by the infinitive (not the gerund) Here are some examples but go to the gerund and infinitive lessons for more examples: Examples of verbs that are followed by a gerund Examples of verbs that are followed by an infinitive I kept to phone the office They agreed signing it I kept phoning the office They agreed to sign it We appriate to hear from you He expected losing We appreciate hearing from you He expected to lose He denies to take the phone She managed getting a promotion He denies taking the phone She managed to get a promotion They avoid to debate the subect We pretended laughing They avoid debating the subject We pretended to laugh Verbs followed by either infinitives or gerunds However, in some cases you can use either the gerund or the infinitive Here are some common verbs that can be followed by either: VERB attempt EXAMPLE SENTENCE I attempted to wake up early I attempted waking up early begin cease continue hate like love prefer propose start try I usually begin to feel tired at 10pm I usually begin feeling tired at 10pm The government ceased to talk about the war The government ceased talking about the war The police continued to harrass him The police continued harrassing him I hate to go to work I hate going to work Most people like to travel abroad Most people like traveling abroad They love to eat at nice restaurants They love eating at nice restaurants The electorate prefers to vote in September The electorate prefers voting in September I propose to delay the company merger until next year I propose delaying the company merger until next year I will start to study next week I will start studying next week The children tried to reduce their intake of sugar The children tried reducing their intake of sugar Lesson 12: Parallel Structure Parallel structure is when you balance the grammatical structures of words, clauses, sentences, or phrases in your writing They are important for any kind of writing and speaking in order to maintain coherency In this particular lesson we'll look at parallel words and phrases We make words or phrases parallel when we are writing things in a list or series, and each word must have the same grammatical form For words, nouns are balanced with nouns, adjectives with adjectives, verbs with verbs, gerunds with gerunds, and so on For phrases, prepositional phrases are balanced with prepositional phrases, infinitive phrases with infinitive phrases, and gerund phrases with gerund phrases The coordinating conjunction ‘and’ is usually used to connect the parallel items, but other coordinating conjunctions such as ‘or’ and ‘nor’ may be used Correlative conjunctions such as 'both/and', 'neither/nor' and 'whether/or' are also used as connectors Examples of Parallel Structure Infinitives / Gerunds She wants to go to England and studying at the London School of Economics (WRONG) She wants to go to England and study at the London School of Economics (CORRECT) The first sentence is wrong because the first item in the list, to go, is an infinitive, but the second item, studying, is a gerund In order to correct it, studying has been changed to an infinitive Adverbs John ensured that he gave his two minute talk confidently, effectively and persuasive (WRONG) John ensured that he gave his two minute talk confidently, effectively and persuasively (CORRECT) The first sentence is incorrect as the last item in the series, persuasive, is an adjective, whereas the first two items are adverbs The second sentence has been corrected by changing persuasive to the adverb, persuasively Adjectives The room was comfortable, airy, and it was not dirty.(WRONG) The room was comfortable, airy, and clean (CORRECT) The first sentence is incorrect, since the first two items in the series, comfortable and airy, are adjectives, whereas the last item, it was not dirty, contains a verb The second sentence has been corrected by changing it was not dirty to the adjective clean Infinitive Phrases I can't decide whether to take a bus or riding my bicyle to work (WRONG) I can't decide whether to take a bus or (to) ride my bicyle to work (CORRECT) The first sentence is wrong because an infinitive and gerund phrase have been mixed together The second is correct because they are both infinitive phrases Prepositional Phrases He climbed the rock, up the wall, and onto the roof.(WRONG) He climbed over the rock, up the wall, and onto the roof.(CORRECT) The first sentence is not parallel since the first word, the rock, does not have a preposition, but the next two words in the list have It can be corrected by placing the correct preposition, over, before climbed Now practice what you have learned in this parallel structure quiz Parallel Structure Exercises 1.The scenery was spectacular, exciting, and looked beautiful Correct Incorrect They studied quickly, quietly, and carefully Correct Incorrect To get the score you want in IELTS quickly you must both learn fast and work hard Correct Incorrect I like neither to wash up dishes nor mopping the floor Correct Incorrect She walked out of the changing rooms, climbed onto the diving board, and into the swimming pool Correct Incorrect He cleaned under the sink and behind the cooker Correct Incorrect I'll return in June, July or in August Correct Incorrect I usually spend my evenings watching TV and surfing the internet Correct Incorrect The manager did not like one of his employees because he always arrived late for work, made mistakes in his duties, completed projects carelessly, and his motivation was low Correct Incorrect 10 It was both a long meeting and very boring Correct Incorrect 11 You must either arrive on time or not come at all Correct Incorrect 12 For him, success is defined not by wealth but by how happy you are Correct Incorrect 13 The salad was fresh, crisp, and tasted delicious Correct Incorrect 14 He was not sure whether to move to Australia or stay in Japan Correct Incorrect 15 The quarter finals involves the English, the Spanish, French, and Germans Correct Incorrect Correct answers: Incorrect Correct Correct Incorrect Incorrect Correct Incorrect Correct Incorrect 10 Incorrect 11 Correct 12 Incorrect 13 Incorrect 14 Correct 15 Incorrect Lesson 13: Passive Voice In this grammar lesson we will look at the passive voice You may wonder why this is important for IELTS Well firstly of course any grammar is important for IELTS Whenever you speak or write, or try to understand reading passages, you need to have the ability to use and understand a good range of grammar However, a way that the passive is specifically needed for IELTS is if you get a process diagram in Academic IELTS Task In this case you will use it throughout your explanation of the process So first we'll take a look at how to use the passive voice generally, then we'll see how it is used in a Task What are the Active and Passive? When we use the active voice, the subject is doing the action of the verb: When we use the passive voice, the person or thing receiving the action becomes the subject: Active Passive The dog bit the boy The boy was bitten by the dog What are the Passive Voice Rules? To make a sentence passive, we three things: Move the object of the sentence, and make it the subject The object thus becomes the subject (often we exclude the object because it is not important to the sentence) Add in "by" before the new object (if you are including it in the new sentence) Add the verb "to be" to the front of the verb, and change the verb to the past participle You then have a passive voice verb Remember to keep the tense the same Active Passive The dog (subject) bit (verb) the boy (object) The boy (new subject) was bitten (new verb form) by the dog (new object) The boy (subject) was bitten (verb) In this case the verb "bit" is in the past simple, so when it is made passive, the verb "to be" must be the past simple - "was" Passive Voice Examples These are examples of how we form it with different tenses (without the object in the passive): Tense Active Passive Present I eat the food The food is eaten Present Continuous I am eating the food The food is being eaten Present Perfect I have eaten the food The food has been eaten Past I ate the food The food was eaten Past Continuous I was eating the food The food was being eaten Past Perfect I had eaten the food The food had been eaten Future I will eat the food The food will be eaten Future Perfect I will have eaten the food The food will have been eaten I can eat the food The food can be eaten I should eat the food The food should be eaten I may eat the food The food may be eaten I could have eaten the food The food could have been eaten I should have eaten the food The food should have been eaten I may have eaten the food The food may have been eaten Present Modal Past Modals Gerunds and Infinitives We can also use the passive voice for infinitive and gerund structures: Tense Simple Perfect Infinitive Gerund to + be + Past Participle Being + Past Participle She wanted to be taken care of Being taken care of was wonderful to + have been + Past Participle having been + Past Participle She was happy to have been chosen She celebrated having been chosen Transitive and Intransitive Verbs However, you cannot use the passive with intransitive verbs Transitive verbs have to take an object For example, you cannot say "He discovered" This is a transitive verb so it needs an object: " He discovered a cure" So this can be made passive: "A cure was discovered" Intransitive verbs are not followed by an object For example, you can say "He died" Or it could be followed by an adverb: "He died yesterday" But we cannot say: "He was died" or "Yesterday was died he" When we use it? It is much more common to use the active than the passive, so you should only use it if there is a specific reason Below are are the reasons that we use it Remember that this is usually a matter of choice for you, depending on the context in which you are writing When you think the receiver of the action is more important than the doer of the action Interested in the doer Interested in the action The farmer harvested the corn in September The corn was harvested in September When you think it is obvious who the doer is so it does not need to be mentioned An obvious subject Omitting the doer The police arrested the burglar The burglar was arrested When the doer of the action is unknown or we don't want the doer to be known A known doer An unknown doer Jonathan stole Peter's phone Peter's phone was stolen When you think the doer is irrelevant You feel it is relevant You feel it is irrelevant The manager will close the shop at 3pm The shop will be closed at 5pm When you are writing for certain genres, such as science reports or for academic journals Referring to the researcher Anonymising the researcher I can draw several conclusions from the results Several conclusions can be drawn from the results When we use the passive voice for IELTS? As it is just a part of general grammar, you may use it at any point in the speaking or writing The time when you will really be in trouble if you don't know how to use it is if you have to write about a process in Task of Academic IELTS Here is an example of a process diagram, where you have to describe the process of making chocolate: When we describe a process such as this, we are not interested in who does the activity, the "doer", we are interested in the activity itself So in order to emphasize this, the activities are used as the subjects Check out this model answer - the passive voice has been highlighted To begin, the cocoa comes from the cacao tree, which is grown in the South American and African continents and the country of Indonesia Once the pods are ripe and red, they are harvested and the white cocoa beans are removed Following a period of fermentation, they are then laid out on a large tray so they can dry under the sun Next, they are placed into large sacks and delivered to the factory They are then roasted at a temperature of 350 degrees, after which the beans are crushed and separated from their outer shell In the final stage, this inner part that is left is pressed and the chocolate is produced You can view some more examples of process diagrams here: Brick Manufacturing Process Tea Manufacturing Process Passive Voice Excercise You can now test yourself with the passive voice In the quiz, the sentence given is active Write the passive sentence below DO NOT include the object i.e "by ", unless you are asked to so If you it will get marked as incorrect Include everything else Don't put a space or full-stop (period) after your sentence as it will also appear as incorrect, and start the sentence with a capital letter Here is an example: Active: I have read the book Answer: The book has been read Passive Quiz John cancelled the meeting The van takes the meat to the market I will take the medicine The police interviewed the suspect The canteen was serving lunch His grandfather looked after him (use an object) The boss will fire him tomorrow I can still use this pen My uncle raised me (use an object) 10 I will paint the room next month Score = Correct answers: The meeting was cancelled The meat is taken to the market The medicine will be taken The suspect was interviewed Lunch was being served He was looked after by his grandfather He will be fired tomorrow This pen can still be used I was raised by my uncle 10 The room will be painted next month ... 75 Lesson 12: IELTS Reading True False Not Given Exercises 78 Speaking 87 Lesson 1: IELTS Speaking Part – Extending your answer 88 Lesson 2: IELTS Speaking... future 169 Lesson 15: IELTS Pie Chart Gap Fill Exercise 172 Writing Task 175 Intro lesson: How to Write an IELTS Essay 177 Lesson 1: Identify the Topic... 2 27 Lesson 13: IELTS Opinion Essays 232 Lesson 14: IELTS Music Essay 233 Lesson 15: Personal Pronouns in Essays for IELTS 2 37 Lesson 16: IELTS Advantage
