This lesson focuses on sentence completion questions which basically means filling the gaps with a word or words from the recording. It’s a common question type in IELTS listening tests. To do well at this type of question you need to be good at paraphrasing and being able to spot keywords in the question to help you navigate the audio.
I chose the topic of Autism because I feel it is one we all need to know more about. Autistic people experience the world in a very different way to people who are neuro-typical. The more we understand, the more we will love, value and respect people with Autism.

Message from Liz:
Autism is something close to my heart. Please take the time to learn more by choosing one of the following links:
The Reason I Jump. This is one of the most remarkable books I have ever read. It opened my eyes to the incredible world experienced by autistic people. Written by Naoki Higashida, who has severe autism, it provides a special insight into what someone with autism experiences and the reasons for their reactions so we can understand and support them. You can purchase this on Amazon. Here is a link to it for UK buyers: The Reason I Jump
National Autistic Society, UK. This website will give you information about autism and what you can do to help: https://www.autism.org.uk/

Hi Liz,
I have a husband and two boys within the spectrum and I take every chance I get to learn more about the subject. What a surprise to find something here!
Thanks for such a great resource such as this site, sharing this information and thanks for the book tip!
Fabiana
It’s lovely to get your comment. It’s strange how life works 🙂 I found the book incredible to read. There’s a second book by the same author called “Fall down 7 times, get up 8” – it’s also full of incredible insights. Love to you and your family 🙂
Thank you, Liz, for sharing the book The Reason I jump. I am Mum to a 6 year old autistic boy, I call him my Teacher and my biggest inspiration.
Thank you so much for telling me this. I think we all have a lot of learn from people with autism – from their experience of the world, their strength in dealing with life’s challenges and their gentle nature which can be masked by their symptoms. My best wishes to both you and your son 🙂
Thank you! You are a very sweet person. I wish you quick recovery, thank you for all you do.

If I may ask (will the questions always folow the same flow of the recording or for example question 4 might be answered before the first question in the recording)
Yes, the answers will come in the order of the questions. But options in a multiple choice question probably won’t be in order.
