Basic Recommendations:

• check your spelling

• listen to find the synonyms (right answer: sick; in the audio file: search)

• try to predict the information that you may need after having read the questions

• beware of Distractors! The speaker often corrects themselves in Section 1

• write the words exactly as you hear them (don't change them)

2) Useful links

https://ielts-up.com/exercises/ielts-listening-exercises.html

You will see Lesson 1-3 with provided activities, practice at the intro lesson with necessary
comment from the site to show your Student what the Listening section is about

3) Most popular mistakes with spelling/countable or uncountable

use/ singular or plural forms at Listening Section

Lesson 3 or 4: give your students these cards and set your times on 5 minutes, the more cards
they correct, the better it is. If your Student is stuck, give a necessary comment on.

My recommendation is to use it as a warm-up activity (no longer than 15 min), even if your lesson
is dedicated to Writing Section
