Listening tips

The power of music


• Music is a great aid to memory. Rhyme,
rhythm, and melody help the brain to focus on
what is being said and to remember stressed
words, which are generally the most important
in any passage of speech.
• Listen to as many songs as you can, without
looking at subtitles or text, and write down
what you hear. Then, check with the original
lyrics.
• We all love stories, and songs tell them in
interesting ways. Whether about romance,
happiness or sadness, songs provide
memorable stories about different human
emotions.

Listening tips

The exciment of film


• Films (or ‘movies’) help us predict what will be said by
providing visual cues. The body language of an actor –
as well as their tone of voice – give signs of what is
about to be said, so it is a good idea to watch as many
entertaining films or TV shows as you can.
• If you record what you are watching, you can practice
by turning the sound off in a clip, imagining what has
been said, and then replaying the recording to check if
you were correct.
• Film also exposes us to different English accents. This
helps us become more skilled in understanding a wide
variety of accents throughout different regions in the
UK. This is important because the IELTS Listening test
uses a range of English accents, not just British and
American.
