top tips for IELTSListening: multiple choice TIP: Don’t choose an option just because you hear a wordfrom it. Think about the whole meaning of what is said.TExampleNHere is a question from a task about a field trip.B some rare plants NTEdid the students see on their walk in the mountains?Q WhatA a group of unusual animalsC an interesting geological featurestudent:tutor:SAMPLstudent:How did you enjoy the field trip to Scotland?Well, we had some fantastic walks. One day wewalked along an amazing deserted beach. Wemust have walked for about fifteen miles and wesaw a seal which was basking in the sunshine. Itwas there all by itself.How lucky! They’re such beautiful animals and it’squite unusual to see them there.That’s right. Another day we climbed the mountainbehind the hut where we were staying. We werehoping to find some rare ferns that are supposedto grow there and nowhere else in Scotland. We’djust about given up hope when we found some atthe bottom of a rocky slope. They have a number ofvery interesting features, for example COTAPESCRIPTtutor:E Explanation: The correct answer is B, but the mention of anunusual animal (a seal, although only one) might lead you to believethat A is correct. Similarly, the phrase ‘interesting features’ mighttempt you to the answer C. In other words, you need to understandthe recording as a whole rather than jump to a conclusion simplybecause you hear words from one of the options.16University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations
