Answers

Q1 = You could choose b, c or d. All three were correct. Answer a was wrong. The word “or” was already given in the question and shouldn’t be used again.

Tips: When you have two words as an answer for one question, it is best to just leave a space between the words. For example, “milk   butter”. You can separate the words if you want using punctuation but it isn’t necessary.,

Q2 = You could choose b. The other answers were wrong.  The sentence must be grammatically correct to be marked right. So, you needed to write “a ticket” as your answer.

Q3 = You could choose c or d. Both of them are right. The answers a and b are wrong. The word “at” was given in the sentence so you should not repeat it.

Tips: When you write the time, there is no set rule for this. You could write 9.30pm or 9:30pm. As long as the person marking understands, it will be marked right.

  1. Dear Elizabeth,
    should I include a space between the time and the AM/PM? Which one would you prefer, 9:00 PM or 9:00PM? Grammarly says that the former is correct.

    • You do not need to think about that for listening answers. Both options would be acceptable. Please be careful using that program.

    Ma’am please tell me that. Is there any differnece between british council or idp . I booked from idp as the dates in british council was not available.

    • You should find out which center has headphones for listening. Otherwise, there’s no difference.

  6. Mam, please tell how to write date in listening test for example if they say ” Thirtyfirst May” ,How we have to write 31 May or 31(st) May similarly if they say 15 july then how to write this in answer sheet 15(th) July or 15 July.

    • There is no fixed rules for writing dates. You can write July 15 or July 15th, you can write 15th July or 15 July. You can use capitals: 15 JULY

    Thanks for your replay, I choose the answer for the Q:1 a because it was written in the topic or same as in the answer a and I didn’ think that will be a repetition. Thank you for clarifying that.
