This lesson is about listening to an audio recording, taking notes and then reproducing the full written text. This is not an IELTS test practice. It is just a practice exercise to develop sharper listening skills and check your accuracy of written English. Many people preparing for IELTS say they don’t know if their grammar is accurate or not. This is one way to check. When someone speaks aloud what they want you to write down, it is called Dictation. This is a dictation practice.
In this lesson, you will check your ability to:
- listen for keywords such as nouns
- make notes at the same time as listening
- recreate what you hear in writing – produce a written script of what you hear
- check your grammar
- check your spelling
- check your basic punctuation
How to use this lesson:
- get a pen and paper
- listen and make notes at the same time
- write down all the nouns you hear. Nouns are always the most important words to write down when you want to reproduce what you hear on paper.
- the aim is not to pause the audio, but to keep it running while you make notes. Of course, the first time, you will only get about 15% of the words. But you can listen again to collect more nouns.
- when you write down the nouns, don’t worry about spelling the full word. You can edit all this later after you have finished listening three times.
- make sure you keep the order of nouns correct so that you can create the sentences afterwards. You will use those nouns to recreate the full script.
- Your aim is not to write all the words while listening. It is to write only key nouns and keywords so you can then recreate the script. This is the same as you do in a university lecture.
- listening again and add more nouns to your list
- Listen a third time and even a fourth if necessary. You can also write down other useful words as well.
- using the nouns you have written down, try to write the whole script on your paper. Don’t listen at this point. Just look at the nouns on your paper and recreate the passage. You will need to add verbs, adjectives, adverbs, articles (a/the) and any other words to make your writing grammatically accurate.
- review what you have written and put in full stops, commas and capital letters.
- when you think your writing is accurate, listen one more time to see what words you have missed.
- after those steps, when you are sure your writing is an accurate reproduction, check the answer.
- Check which words you are making mistakes with – are they plurals, articles, verb agreement – which aspects of grammar do you make the most mistakes with
- check your spelling and punctuation
This is NOT an IELTS test. It is an opportunity to develop note taking skills at a high level and check the accuracy of your written language.
