Identifying key information Key information tips
Distractors
Distractors are quite common, and can work in different ways. In Section 1, this might be where one speaker gives a possible answer, but then the other speaker corrects it. For example, imagine you listen to two people speaking on the phone. You have to listen for the time they’re going to meet:Speaker 1: So shall we meet at 12:30 then?
Speaker 2: Yes that’s fine for me.
Speaker 1: Oh no – I just remembered, I’ve got a meeting at 12. Can we make it 1:30?
Speaker 2: Sure!Synonyms
Synonyms are words that have the same or similar meaning. For example, ‘humorous’ is a synonym of ‘funny’. Sometimes in IELTS Listening your test paper will ask you to answer a question in relation to something (e.g. ‘a humorous book’) but the speakers in the recording actually use a synonym (e.g. they talk about ‘a funny book’). It’s important to be aware of this, as you’ll need to be ready for synonyms of key words in the questions throughout the test.Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is similar to synonyms, but involves using different words rather than just one synonym. So, the question paper might refer to ‘a humorous book which the speaker bought recently’, whereas in the recording you hear the speaker talk about ‘a funny text I picked up the other day in a second-hand bookshop’. As with synonyms, be aware that you may come across paraphrasing in all parts of the test.

Introduction to short answers
Short answers are another task type you need to be familiar with.
They can appear in Section 1 or elsewhere, and often involve listening for specific information. Knowing about what we looked at in the previous step can be very helpful when completing short answers. These are our tips for this task type:
- As always, it helps to read the instructions carefully in the time you have before you listen. Check how many words you can use. Don’t write more than the amount it says in the instructions.
- Underline the key words in the questions – you might need to listen out for them or a synonym or paraphrase, which can help you get the answer.
- Predict the kind of answer you need. Is it a time or place? A detail to describe something? A name? The question text should make this clear.
- The exact word(s) you need for each answer will appear in the recording. In other words, you write down the words you hear.
- Be prepared for distractors, like the one we saw in the previous step.
Remember you have time at the end of the test which you can use to check your answers for spelling. Note also that short answers are similar to sentence completion task types – something we’ll look at in more detail in Week 2.

- There is a word limit – did you notice it in the instructions for both task types?
- Answers appear in the recording in the same order as on the question paper.
- You write down what you hear in the recording.
don’t forget this is only one section of the Listening test
Did you notice too that in the short answers task there was an example of the speaker using a synonym? The bank employee gave information on the cost of each ‘transaction’, whereas in your question paper you see the word ‘transfer’. ‘Transaction’ is a synonym of ‘transfer’ in this context.
Do:
- read instructions very carefully
- try to predict what kind of answer you need
- be ready for paraphrases and synonyms.
Don’t:
- write too many words. Check what the word limit is in the instructions
- be fooled by distractors in the recording
- forget, if you’re taking the pen and paper test you have time to transfer your answers to the answer sheet at the end.
