Follow these three steps to get the short-answer questions correct in your IELTS Listening test
TIP 1: You will hear the exact word or words you need so don’t change them. NEVER change the part of speech
TIP 2: Do not write more words than you are asked for – you will lose marks. Simply
TIP 3: Practise by listening to interviews and conversations, or to news programs. Find one that you can record either on TV, radio or the Internet. Listen and take notes of the most important facts, then go back and check your notes, then check whether you pick up all the points or not
