5 easy steps to solve IELTS Listening MULTIPLE CHOICE questions

world or ethical teaching them values ​​what is fascinating is that the writer is not necessarily aware of the message he is conveying, for example a story may show a child who has a problem as a result of not doing what an adult has told him to make. implying that children should always obey adults no, I understand what you mean, okay, here's our script, Trevor says, okay, you probably know that it's a one-year course, it's divided into six modules and you can take them all, one of the most interesting for me at least interesting so that's the word we read here let's focus one of the most interesting for me at least was the purpose of children's literature and here we see the exact coincidence look at the question the purpose from the literature now we know that they are about to hear our answers and we see interesting here, but we are actually looking for what he finds interesting about the purpose and so far we have only heard that he finds the whole module interesting, so that is not our answer.

Let's hear more answers from Stephanie. Do you mean should she just entertain the kids or should she be educational and entertain the kids or be educational too? Let's look at our option b, it should be entertaining and educational at the same time, you see, the meaning is the same, but we are looking. What Trevor finds interesting and what we've heard is what Stephanie thinks and nothing about that being interesting. You see, that's not the right answer. Let's read a little more and Trevor answers correctly and if teaching is to be objective, then he starts talking about something. otherwise you don't say that you find option b particularly interesting, so this answer is incorrect, cross it out and let's read on, so Trevor says whether teaching should be objective, give them information about the world, or teach them ethical values, which which is fascinating is um.

Look here what is fascinating and in the question we should look for what Trevor finds interesting let's listen carefully is that the writer is not necessarily aware of the message he is conveying being aware means being aware of realizing the message he is conveying they are conveying and in the option a we see that the authors may not realize the values ​​they are teaching. You see, the meaning is the same even though each word is paraphrased, so that is our correct answer. Let's continue reading in case, for example, a story can show a child. who has a problem as a result of not doing what an adult has told them to do, which implies that children should always obey adults and our remaining option is c the fact that adults expect children to imitate characters from literature, so this option was not mentioned and the correct answer is okay, great, here's another question.

Stephanie is interested in the images module because images module are our keywords when we hear you talk about images, that's when we look for an answer and what we need is for her to be interested because then why is she interested in images now? The options she has to become an illustrator. Become an illustrator. She can remember beautiful illustrations from her childhood. I'd say she remembers the illustrations. She believes that illustrations are more important than words. I would say that the illustrations and the words, yes, sometimes it is difficult. For uh, she just picks one or two keywords because really the whole line gives you the meaning, but she just tries to memorize what each line is about.

I'm very interested in story illustrations, that's covered in the course. Yes, there is a module on images and how they are sometimes central to the story, that's good. I remember some I saw as a child and can still see them vividly in my mind years later. Images can be as powerful as words. I have always liked to draw. That is the field I want to enter when I finish the course. I bet that module will be very useful. Well, first of all, Stephanie says: I'm very interested in the illustrations in the stories. Illustrations and stories are the images module, which is covered in the course.

So they're talking about our question and Trevor says yes, there's a module on images and how sometimes they're central to the story. They are talking about the images. Stephanie says that's good. I remember some that I saw when I was a child and I can still remember them. I see them vividly in my mind years later and here I can see some words. I remember some scary ones I saw when I was a kid and that reminds me of option b. Remember childhood illustrations. Let's compare the details so that she can remember beautiful illustrations, but here she is in reality.

She mentioned that she remembers some scary ones, quite the opposite and that means option b is incorrect. The following images can be as powerful as words and that reminds me of option c. She believes that illustrations are more important than words and this is the key. lies in these words the illustrations are more important but she actually says that they are just as powerful just as important again the meaning is different let's continue I have always liked to draw and that is the field I want to enter when I finish the course the field I want to enter in that it means that she intends to become an illustrator that is the correct option option a but in reality because we have already crossed out b and c we know that a is the correct answer even without finding it well done, let's take a look at the next one regarding books aimed only at boys and girls Trevor was surprised, okay, the keywords are books aimed at children and when we heard them talk about that is when we started looking for our answer and we looked for what surprised Trevor surprised. a reaction we need now let's read the options how long the distinction was not questioned okay the distinction was not questioned how many books were aimed at both girls and boys books aimed at both sexes how many boys enjoyed the books aimed at the opposite sex books for the opposite sex please now Listen to the recording and try to find the correct answer.

What about books for girls and books for boys? What does the course consist of? Yes, there is a module for years. Many stories in English. At least it was assumed that children went out and did adventurous things. and the girls stayed home and played with dolls. I was surprised to learn how many books were aimed at one sex or the other. Of course, this reflects society as it is when the books are written. This is our script. Stephanie says what about girls' books and books? for kids, okay, these are our keywords, so they're discussing our question: does the course go into that Trevor?

Yes, there has been a model for years. Many English stories at least assumed that the boys went out and did adventurous things and the girls stayed home and played with dolls, so this sentence reminds me of our first

choice

, how long the distinction had remained unquestioned and they say that for years the boys They did adventurous things and stayed home, but was Trevor surprised? No, he just said he didn't say he was surprised so that's not a correct answer next I was amazed aha amazed that's synonymous with surprised that's what we're looking for I was amazed how many books were aimed at only one sex or the other look at option b that few books were aimed at both girls and boys and he says how many books were aimed at only one sex or how few were aimed at both and that surprised him he was amazed that is our answer let's continue just in case of course that reflects society as it was when the books were written, so option c wasn't mentioned at all. well done on IELTS

listening

, you should switch your attention between

listening

, reading and writing very quickly and the less effort it takes you to understand your recording, the better if you have some time before your test starts listening to English audiobooks.

They are good for developing your listening skills for two reasons. Well, first of all, the pronunciation in books is clear like in the IELTS test and unlike many movies and YouTube videos, listening is also a passive skill so you can listen to an audiobook while doing something else, like going to the work or study or clean your house. I listen to all my books on audible. When you join, you get any book free after one month. You start paying a monthly fee which differs from country to country and gives you access to a new book each month but if you unsubscribe during the free trial you still keep your free book so if you decide to try Audible could you use the link In the description box below you will get your free audiobook and it will allow me to earn a small commission and purchase more books to listen to.

I'll also leave a couple of pointers in there to help you memorize everything we've discussed today. Let me show you my five
