How to grasp the key information in IELTS listening

Every time a classmate asks me:? Teacher, what if I can't hear the answer? ? They know very well that if one of the subjects goes wrong, months of hard review will be in vain. Students'? Can't you hear me? Reflected in the slow response, unable to grasp the key information and unable to understand the meaning. Through these phenomena, Shen, a famous listening teacher from the world's Ivy League schools, took IELTS candidates together to find a solution to how to grasp the key information in IELTS listening. First of all, the big problem lies in the weak ability to distinguish sounds. Under the influence of dumb English for many years, students' listening and speaking ability is getting worse and worse. For many words, students can only recognize and read. If you can't read correctly, you can't hear correctly. IELTS listening and speaking skills complement each other, what's more, vocabulary in listening is accumulated vocabulary, which needs students to master comprehensively in recognition, reading and writing, rather than eliminating vocabulary just by watching. Therefore, when students recite words, they should not only recognize the words, but also recite them together with the records in the vocabulary manual. This method is particularly important for students with weak foundation, but following this method is a link that students tend to ignore when reviewing. I don't know such details will have a great influence on the final information acquisition. After reading, you need to combine listening and writing, that is, play a recording of a word and dictate a paragraph. In this way, listening, reading and writing will be greatly improved. Secondly, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and the improvement of sentence comprehension ability is indispensable for IELTS listening practice. After improving the pronunciation ability of words, you must follow up the practice of the whole article. Good listening materials are the audio of Cambridge review materials. Students can choose the exercises they have done in class and only use Cambridge audio and articles, not the topic itself. You should also pay attention to reading after practice. Students should also try to understand the meaning of each sentence and listen to a sentence before reading along. When listening, you shouldn't look at the original text. You must understand it. If you don't understand, you can listen to it several times, but you can't read the original again. In addition, besides imitating pronunciation and intonation, we should also pay attention to the phenomenon of continuous reading and swallowing in circled sentences, which is often a difficult point in the topic. The last step also requires dictation of words, and this step also requires dictation, but the dictation of the text is more difficult. Dictation is dominated by nouns and adjectives, which often appear in the answers to fill-in-the-blank questions. Dictation of such words is enough. In addition, after such practice, students' 1 and 2 paragraphs will definitely be greatly improved, but 3 and 4 paragraphs still need intensive practice. In addition to improving in this way, students also need to adjust the playback speed while listening to audio. Students who have passed the exam will find that the audio speed in the exam will be faster than that in Cambridge, so they should meet this challenge when practicing. Try to speed up the playback speed 1.2- 1.4 times when practicing. If you feel uncomfortable at first, you can practice 1 first. If you practice the official guide, it should be accelerated to more than 1.4 times. I believe this step-by-step practice can help students hear the answers one by one. The above are the answers from the famous listening teacher Shen from the world's Ivy League schools on how to grasp the key information in IELTS listening. I hope it can help IELTS candidates.
