Welcome to IELTS Listening Practice! Today we'll work through 10 authentic practice questions that mirror the real IELTS test format. These questions cover everyday conversations and informational monologues, helping you develop the listening skills needed for test success.
Now we'll practice Section 1 of the IELTS Listening test. This section features a conversation between two people in an everyday situation. You'll hear a customer calling a travel agency to book a day tour. Listen carefully and complete the booking form with the information you hear. Remember, you'll only hear the audio once, just like in the real test.
Here's the first part of the conversation. The customer calls Travel Plus and wants to book a day tour. The agent offers three options: Forest Walk for 25 pounds, Castle Visit for 18 pounds, or River Cruise for 32 pounds. The customer chooses the Castle Visit for next Saturday, June 15th. Pay attention to the specific details like prices, dates, and tour names.
Now it's time to practice! Here are the first five questions based on the conversation you just heard. Complete the booking form by filling in the blanks with the correct information. Remember to write no more than two words and or a number for each answer. Think about what the customer and agent discussed regarding the tour choice, date, child's age, surname, and phone number.
Excellent work! Here are the correct answers to the practice questions. Remember these key listening tips: always listen for specific information like names, numbers, and dates. Pay attention to spelling, especially for proper nouns. Note how numbers can be written in different formats. Most importantly, practice regularly with authentic IELTS materials to improve your listening skills and confidence for test day.
