Before You Begin...


*	*The Listening exercises are for practice only.*
*	The question types are similar to those in the actual IELTS test. However, the format of these practice tests does not resemble the IELTS Listening test exactly. This is partly due to the electronic medium we are using. *i.e. in the IELTS test there are listening passages of varying length and difficulty.* Also, the listening passages in the actual IELTS test are designed to be heard only once. For practice you may listen to the recording as many times as you wish.
*	**Click on the button to hear the listening talks and answer the questions that follow. The audio files are in MP3 format. To play the audio files we suggest you use Windows Media Player available free from http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/ or the free Winamp player available from http://www.winamp.com**
*	*Place the answers to the questions in the blue boxes* *as you listen to the recording.*
*	*Check the answers by clicking on the Answers link below the last set of questions.*
*	*Click on the Texts link to look at the words of the listening passage you heard.*
