VocabBuilder
mammoth = prehistoric animal now extinct similar in shape to an elephant
physiology = make-up / structure
prominent = major / outstanding
parts of an elephant and mammoth = tusks, trunk, large ears
huge / colossal = enormous / extremely large
Transcript
There is evidence of much change and development in the mammoth. We can see the Ambelodon 20 million years ago, the Stegodon 12 million years ago and finally the Stegotetrabelodon which existed somewhere between 7.5 to 4.5 million years ago. There seem to have been a number of changes in the physiology of the mammoth, the most prominent were in the height, the size of the ears and the shape of the head and tusks. Today, I’m going to be focusing, on the one most of us associate with the ‘so-called’ classic shape and size of a mammoth and which is most known for its huge curving tusks and colossal size.
Answer
B
‘Today, I’m going to be focusing on….. which is most known for its huge curving tusks and colossal size.’

  12. Hello Liz,
    I want you to add a timer, for reading questions, in the audio. This would help us a lot.
    Thank you.

  13. Hello Liz, Thank you so much for taking the time to give multiple tips on your blog. All of them were immensely helpful! You’ve been a wonderful teacher and have my deepest gratitude. I have a doubt regarding the listening test. I gave my Ielts test this morning, and there was a 5 question section in the listening exam where the speaker conversation did not coincide with the questions in a chronological order. As a result, I think I’ve missed hearing a question or 2. Does this generally happen in a listening test? Or should I bring this to someones attention in the exam centre that the numbering was probably amiss?

    • The problem is that without the transcript and questions, you cannot be 100% sure. IELTS don’t release the transcripts or questions or answers. Certainly, if you wish to talk to your test centre or contact IELTS official about this, you can. Maybe they could check for you and let you know if that was actually the case or not.

      • Hello Liz,

        You are doing a great work is there away people can appreciate this, maybe you could add a link to buy you a Coffee, thank you

        • That’s a great idea. And I very much appreciate your offer of a virtual coffee. I’ll think about whether to set up a “buy me a coffee” button 🙂

  14. – B
    Finally i’ve got right answer :))
    Thank you so much Liz.

  16. Facundo says

  17. Hi Liz,
    I appreciate your work and thank you for helping me to prepare this exam. The only part I can’t do well is multiple choice in Listening, especially the one which has long question and answer sentences. By the time I read the sentences recording begins and get lost while I am trying to read and listen at the same time. What can you offer to me?
    Thanks in advance.

    excellent recording – what device do you use..?

    • Just a hand-held recording device – it’s really useful 🙂

      • very good – my recorder picks up cars honking, dogs barking, planes flying overhead…the works – as i am trying to record guided meditation clips for my clients.

        • I hold the recording device directly over my nose – this means it is very near my mouth but avoids picking up breathing. You also need to be in a very quiet room, windows closed and also without echo – a room that has wallpaper and carpet is useful as it dims the echo.
