Listening Practice: My University

This listening practice is with a video rather than an audio recording. It is a video of Royal Holloway, University of London, which is actually where I completed my BA Hons degree. I thought you would enjoy seeing it. The main building is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen for a university and I was lucky enough to live in the castle for one year.

The listening exercise is not difficult so I expect you all to get at least 5 out of 6 correct 🙂

Listening Practice: My University

Read the questions first and then listen to the video below and answer the questions.

Questions 1 – 6: no more than three words and/or a number

  1. The University of London is made up of ………. different institutions.
  2. The college was established in ………..
  3. Nowadays, the university has ………… students from over 100 countries.
  4. The campus feels like a peaceful, ……….. place in the countryside.
  5. Royal Holloway is located ………… from the centre of London.
  6. There are three world class faculties: the arts faculty, …………….and ……………………, and the science faculty.

Liz’s University: Royal Holloway, University of London

Listen to the video and answer the questions above. Please note that in the IELTS test, you won’t be given a video with music to listen to. I have created this lesson to be enjoyable, to learn about the university I went to and also to practice sentence completion questions, which are very common in the IELTS listening test.

  7. ARVIND says

    Dear Liz,
    I noticed that you don’t use full stop (period) in abbreviations. Is it acceptable? For example, you wrote – Mr instead of Mr. ; Mrs instead of Mrs. In contrast, for writing the name – JK Rowling, you used ‘J.K. Rowling’.
    Please clarify, when to use and not to use these dots.

    • There is no rule as such. IT is not necessary to use periods at all these days. I chose to use them in “J.K.Rowling” because it helps distinguish the letters – it’s easier to read. But they are not necessary and you can omit them.
