Listening – Part 2 Multiple Choice

Start IELTS lesson thumbnail: Listening – Part 2 Multiple Choice

In IELTS Listening Part 2, the speaker often mentions all three options, but only means one. This lesson shows you how to spot the traps.

You’ll do a full Part 2 task with one audio track: a talk to new volunteers at Hartley Castle, with ten questions including two “choose TWO” questions. Then you’ll learn the signals that rule an option out, such as but, not until and we used to, and the signals that point to the answer, such as What we really wanted was…

Inside:

  • A full Part 2 task with audio
  • A 7-step routine to use before you listen
  • 12 useful phrases from the talk, shown in new situations
  • Four practice activities: find the difference, which option the speaker means, matching paraphrases and using the phrases
  • Full answers with explanations, plus the audio script
  • An AI prompt for extra practice
