IELTS DOs & DON’Ts:
Listening Listening can be tricky, especially since you can hear the recording only once. How can we maximise our chances?
1)
Get visual Don’t keep doing listening tasks with zero picture in your head. You will always struggle. Do try to understand daily life abroad. Get an idea of university life, transport systems, restaurants, gyms, etc. Watch TV serials or YouTube videos showing you daily life.
2)
Concentration Don’t lose your focus or interest easily like a TikTok victim. Do consume videos, articles, podcasts and of course Afandi English posts that take more than a minute to understand. Learn to keep up your attention – you will need it for IELTS Listening.
3)
Accents Don’t think English is just from abroad and therefore all the same. Do become familiar with different accents. In the recordings you may hear English from the UK, North America and/or the
Southern Hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand and South Africa).
