IELTS Listening Practice Test 27

A complete 40-question IELTS Listening paper: a customer taking her walking boots to a cobbler to be resoled and repaired, a welcome talk for new volunteers at a community orchard, with its site to label, two students and their tutor planning an experiment on taking lecture notes by hand or on a laptop, and a lecture on vanilla and the hand-pollination method that made it a crop. Played in sequence under exam conditions and marked the moment you hand in.

Questions: 40
Time: About 33 min

How should it play?

Exam conditionsPlays once, start to finish, on the real test's timeline: time to read before each part, half a minute to check after it, two minutes at the end. No pause, no rewind.PracticePause, rewind and play a part again as much as you like, read the script as it is spoken, and check your answers as you go. The clock counts up rather than down, and nothing is handed in for you.

The recording sets the pace from the moment you press the button. Nothing plays until you have had time to read.
