Labelling Diagrams (Listening)

Tips for Labelling a Diagram 

During the IELTS exam you may need to label a diagram or a map for exampleielts1

During this kind of listening task a lot of students miss answers for this type of question because they get “lost” on the diagram.

In order to prevent you from getting lost when your faced with this kind of question is important that you start off looking for the question numbers . You will always hear the answers for the questions in order so your eyes should go to the first question number and then the second and so on.

So in the case of the example above your eyes should be looking at the bottom left hand corner of the map and your ears should be listening out for main entrance or theatre
