Listening Multiple Choice Practice: Moles

Below is a listening practice lesson for IELTS preparation. The questions are multiple choice questions which require you to pay very close attention to the paraphrases used and to pay close attention to the differences in the options given. Don’t expect only one option to be mentioned in the recording. You will likely hear words that relate to all options, but only one will be the real answer.

Instructions for Multiple Choice Listening

  • Always pay attention to the topic of the listening test which will help prepare you for the language in the recording.
  • Read the questions before you listen to the recording.
  • Pay attention to keywords in the questions (incomplete statements) and the options.
  • Notice the similarity and differences between options.
  • Be ready to listen only once.
  • Make sure you write a letter, not words, for your answer.

  16. Bonson Adem says

    Thank you very much. Could you tell me how much time we should give ourselves to read the questions and mark key words before we start listening to your recording?
    Thank you.

    • My lessons are aimed at technique, awareness and understanding. They aren’t tests. So, you will start with taking more time and then increase your speed of preparation of the questions as you progress through my lessons. If you want to test yourself with timing and tests, get the IELTS Cambridge test books which IELTS have published for home use. They contain real past papers and the recording audio will be at the speed for the test. I mainly recommend people to use those test books and my lessons as a way to prepare fully.

  17. Hi Liz, I got band score of 8.5 in both listening & reading; 6.5 in writing and 7 in speaking with an overall score of 7.5 and I am completely satisfied with it. I completely relied on your website and thoroughly practiced from it. I’m very grateful to you for everything, as I wouldn’t be able to achieve this score without your help. I sincerely wish you a life filled with good health, abundant wealth, and enduring happiness. You’ve made a positive impact on my journey, and I’m truly thankful for it.
