IELTS listening is a part of elegant thinking, and many candidates always find it difficult to break through listening during the preparation. In fact, from the test results, listening is an easy part to obtain through short-term training, and correct listening skills are a weapon for candidates to obtain. Here are some skills that must be mastered in the IELTS listening test. First, IELTS dictation ability. Dictation is the difference between IELTS and introspection. In elegant thinking, dictation accounts for about 80%, which is also the key to candidates. We can concentrate on making a breakthrough through spelling practice. But at the same time, dictation is not only that, candidates also need to pay attention to the format and case of the answer, so as not to lose points. In addition, we should strengthen the basic practice of dictation for commonly used mandatory items such as name, address, subject name and number. The following picture shows the process, main contents and test sites of IELTS listening: 2. Information conversion. Candidates' listening comprehension ability is another key point of IELTS listening test. Candidates must master synonyms, phrases and sentence transformation if they want to understand the content. For example, in section 2 of Jian 6Test 1, we will find the following synonym substitution. Question11:access = entrancequestion12: reopen? . Next fwmonth = temporaryclosed question13: less = reduced in number question14: twice = doubled in number There are still many synonyms and phrases in listening. Candidates need to practice, accumulate and master these synonymous substitutions skillfully. In addition, sentence substitution is also common in listening, such as active and passive exchange, noun and verb exchange and so on. In Jian 4test 1, there is a sentence that can be used to fill in the blanks: metal industries were established by _ _ _ _ _ _ who living there. As you can see from the question, this is the passive voice, and the blanks should be filled in. The original text is: atthattime, local craftsmensinfirstbuiltaniron for just behind the village here, where built = wasestablished, which is a typical active and passive exchange. In Sword 6 Test 2 Part 3, there is a title: No? tfindEricsson？ Sesaysonmanagengthe _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _。 I'm in the original? mafraidIdidn？ tmanagetholdoftheessaysautclassroom management。 Here is the interchange of nouns and verbs. 3. Distinguishing interference information In the IELTS listening test, the test needs to have the ability to distinguish information from a large amount of information and filter interference information to avoid falling into the trap set by the test. Signal words are an important basis for distinguishing information in exams. Once you hear the signal words, candidates should be vigilant and pay attention to the changes in the content of the signal words, so as to determine the answer content. The main signal words in listening include negative signal words and turning signal words. Some negative words include: no, no, never, almost no, no, almost no, very little, very little, and so on. When candidates hear these words, they should exclude the relevant content according to the topic or plan to stay. But, in any case, don't forget. Turning conjunctions are often used in listening tests. Usually, the information words before and after these words change, so candidates should pay attention to the content after the turning point. These are the correct answers. 4. After the retrospective examination, there will be half a minute for candidates to check after each festival. After the whole listening, candidates have 10 minutes to copy the answers to the answer sheet. Candidates should make full use of this time to check, strive for zero mistakes, and really plan their scores. In the process of checking, candidates should pay special attention to the following points: 1. Case: Proper nouns such as time, place, name and position, and corresponding positions in the context of filling in the blanks should be capitalized. In order to avoid losing points in capitals, students are advised to use all capitals. 2. Abbreviations: month, week, etc. Don't use abbreviations in the listening test. 3. Nouns are singular and plural. This is the loss point of most candidates and needs special attention. 4. Subject-predicate agreement. 5. Verb tenses are consistent. 6. The number of words in the answer reaches the test word limit. 7. IELTS listening vocabulary is spelled correctly. The above points are the places that candidates need to pay special attention to in the listening test. In addition, if you want to take the IELTS test, you should not only be able to solve problems, but also understand the scoring standards of various parts of IELTS, especially speaking and writing, and how the examiner judges the scores. Only in this way can we prepare these two parts in a targeted manner. IELTS Listening Scoring Standard: http://ielts.shanghai.gedu.org/info/20130304427.html.
