IELTS Listening Form Completion with Alex

Hello guys and welcome to the tasks of the week. My name is Alex. I am one of the expert IELTS teachers here at e2 language and today we are working on

listening

to IELTS and focusing on section one. I'll give you a quick overview. of the

listening

test we will do a warm up practicing spelling and numbers and then we will do a practice test of section one, so I always think about what it is about. Let's see in our overview that there are four sections in the IELTS listening test. and each with ten questions, which makes 40 questions and the whole test takes around 30 minutes, if you take the IELTS test on paper you get an extra 10 minutes to transfer your answer, if you take the IELTS on computer you will not have those 10 extra minutes, but don't worry, there is plenty of time during the exam and you put your answers directly on the screen, so you don't actually need that extra 10 minutes in terms of scoring, as you know that IELTS goes from band 0 like maybe you don't go up to bed 9, which is an expert user, but the listening test is over 40, so how does it work well?

This is the raw score equivalency, so on the left maybe the score that when you take the listening test, you could get 16 out of 40 23 out of 40 30 and everything in the middle and on the right is the equivalent of band so for example if you aim for band 7 you should score around 30 or over 40 by the way there is no difference between general or academic when it comes to IELTS listening they all do exactly the same exam and it is scored the same way, so listening to section 1, which happens well, there are always two speakers and they are at an everyday social gathering. context, when talking about booking a holiday, renting a car, joining a gym, for example, and questions usually fill in the blanks, as in section 1, you often hear spelling, someone might spell a name or a website , so it is important to have the updated English alphabet. your mind, especially the vowels an E.

I owe you any doubt in this part can cost you easy points. In section one you can also hear numbers and sometimes a combination of letters and numbers, so let's practice just spelling and numbers with a quick warm-up. to listen to three short audios and answer three questions just practice listening to the alphabet and numbers here are the three questions, grab your pencil and paper, let's do it one, my name is Simon Cavanaugh, that's K a V a and a ugh, my address is 19 B River. key Road that's our IV e r qua y three this is my student card and my ID is nine three four FB pretty easy let's check the answers let's go to number one number two number three let me know in the comments section if you have problems with something in particular. a particular letter or number before you really try, let me remind you that our YouTube channel is just a small part of what we do at e to language.

We have a full website with IELTS courses, tutors and live classes. We are 100% online so you can study when it suits you, let's practice section one now remember that we are going to listen to two speakers in an everyday context here are our instructions at the top complete the table below write a word and/or a number so you don't write two or three words here, the title is higher in a meeting room and in the real test you will hear the example twice, but today I will only play it once, there will also be some time to read before starting . and a pause in the middle on the actual test, this could be after question four, five or six.

Make sure you use that time to read and predict. Try to read everything as quickly as you can. Keep the English alphabet in your mind, particularly AEIOU or maybe. write it on your piece of paper and be careful with distractions, we will talk about this another time, are you ready? You are going to hear two people talking about hiring a meeting room, watch the questions and then pause the video for 30 seconds to read now we will begin good afternoon including meetings how can I help? Hi, my name is Cam and I'm calling to book a meeting room.

Let's definitely check that your date is available before proceeding. When do you want to hire the space for July, sorry June 16th, we have a lot available so great, we are a local business now and we are planning to walk from our office to your place that day, so can I confirm the location with you? Yes, of course, it will be 11:50 yes, at the Macquarie building. Oh, isn't it on Green Road by the lake, which is quite a distance from us? Yes, that is the old Macquarie Navia building in the city centre, it is level 16 B chambero Road Port Salut.

Oh, could you? mind spelling that for me it's certainly GE m b o ro ug H Road ok thanks sorry I'm new to the area no problem easy to find us we're right next to the movie theater about two blocks from the State Library , understood, okay, I know the The place is perfect, it's easy to walk from our office. Great, so let me run through a couple of options and we'll find the best one for your needs. Perfect, so I assume you need space for more than ten people. Yeah, probably around 30. Okay. Well, there are two rooms that will probably suit you.

One is the Governor's room, one of the most popular options, it's actually okay and how many can fit? Yesterday we had a meeting with 15 people, but it usually has around 25, we just can't have more. there are over 35 people there, well that sounds good, it has all the usual things, Wi-Fi projector, yes, and it is also equipped with its own coffee machine, which is probably why it is so popular, mmm, and the price is four hundred and forty-five dollars. For the day, it's fine and you said there was another one. There is also a stateroom, another good option for you, but the maximum capacity is 30 people, so we may need to verify your final numbers before closing that one.

Yes, this one also has its own attached bathroom. like a kitchen that is quite useful and saves time during breaks, that's a good point, and then also an interactive whiteboard if you need that right and it's more expensive than the first room, the cabin costs four hundred and fifteen dollars, a good deal, actually, mmm. Now I look at questions six to ten and pause the video for 30 seconds to read it now, let's start now before your event, we just need a few details from you. The best way to do this is to complete your confirmation using our booking

form

.

Online I will send you the link for that, it will be great and then just the day before our manager will call you to order the keys. We generally leave them in a safe so you can come and go as you please. during the day and you just return them at the end. Well then, what else once your meeting is over? We ask that you ensure the table has been thoroughly cleaned. Oh of course our cleaners will take care of the kitchen bathroom but any rubbish. What remains must also be removed. There is a container in the back that will show you the day.

It's okay, it will be okay. Any laptop or TV cables you use can also be brought to reception downstairs. Alright. so let me check this with my manager and then I will call you and actually I will be out tomorrow but I will give you my colleagues number she will be able to answer any questions.
