Grab a piece of paper and a pen.

I'm going to play the audio tracks for each section.

You'll see the questions on screen.

Write your answers down as you go.

Here is a crucial tip for 2026.

The exam is getting stricter on distractors, where a speaker contradicts themselves, so stay sharp.

I'll be back after each section to check your answers and explain the tricky ones.

Let's start with section one.

If you want a full IELTS mock test graded and given feedback by one of our expert teachers,

make sure to jump over to e2language.com and check out our packages with included mock tests.

You can start for free and only pay the difference when you upgrade.

Section 1 is the social conversation.

For this one, we're covering travel insurance.

You'll hear a telephone conversation between a woman and an insurance agent.

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 through 11.

Now turn to section 1.

You will hear a woman telephoning an insurance company about travel insurance.

But first, you'll have time to look at questions 1 to 11.

Hello Travel Smart Insurance, how may I help you?

Oh, hello.

I'm calling because I'm going on a holiday and I'd like to take out travel insurance.

Oh, lucky you.

Okay, are you an existing client with us?

Yes, I am actually.

I have a car insurance policy with you.

All right then.

Can you give me your full name, please?

Sure.

It's Alexandra Wilkinson.

Is that Wilkinson with two L's?

No, just one L.

It's W-I-L-K-I-N-S-O-N.

Okay, Miss Wilkinson?

Oh, please, call me Alex.

Miss Wilkinson is my mother.

Okay, Alex.

And what is your client number?

It's 305...

Oh, sorry, it's 304-588-67.

Thanks.

What's your date of birth?

It's 12th of November, 1978.

Oh, you've just had a birthday.

Yes, that's why I'm going on a holiday.

It's a birthday present to myself.

Wow, good for you.

Okay, Alex, we do have your address on file.

Can you confirm if it's still current?

Yes, I'm at number 216, Lonsdale Street, Carlton.

Oh, I'll need to update that address.

Can you spell the street name for me?

Yes, Lonsdale is L-O-N-S-D-A-L-E.

OK, and what policy type would you like, Alex?

We have trip protection, luggage protection, medical and comprehensive, which includes all of the ones I just mentioned.

It's a bit more expensive but I highly recommend it.

I'll go with a comprehensive policy.

I don't want to take any risks.

Agreed.

Wise choice.

I'll just need some details about your trip now.

What are your travel dates?

I depart on the 8th of January and return on the 8th of February.

Oh no, the 7th, sorry.

OK, and where are you travelling to?

I'm going to Spain and Portugal.

Wow, lucky you.

I was in Portugal last year.

Beautiful country.

Yes, I can't wait.

What airline are you travelling with?

Northwestern Airways.

Oh, I haven't travelled with them before.

Me neither.

This is my first time, but they come highly recommended.

And which hotel will you be staying at during your travels?

Well, a lot of the time I will be staying in hostels and Airbnb, but I have booked the Hilton for three nights in each place.

Nice.

And what about your baggage?

What do you mean?

Are you taking hand luggage and check-in luggage?

Oh yes, I'll have check-in luggage and carry-on.

Okay, how would you like to pay for that?

Check, credit card or cash?

I'll pay with my credit card.

Okay, well now I have all the necessary details, I'll put your request for travel insurance through.

You will receive an invoice in the mail and as soon as payment is processed, your insurance will be activated.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Have a great trip.

Great work!

100

Question one is usually the easiest, but did you catch the self-correction in question six?

101

Let's look at the answers.

102

Number one is Wilkinson, spelled W-I-L-K-I-N-S-O-N.

103

Number two is 304-588-67.

104

Number three is 1978.

105

Number 4, Lonsdale.

106

Number 5 is Comprehensive.

107

Number 6 is the 7th of February.

108

This was the distractor.

109

She said, return on the 8th.

110

Oh no, the 7th.

111

This can be written out multiple ways.

112

7 is Portugal.

113

8 is Northwestern.

114

9 is Hilton or The Hilton.

115

10 carry-on.

116

11 credit card or you could just say card.

117

Now count your correct answers.

118

If you missed question 6 about the date, remember always wait for the speaker to confirm the final detail.

119

Don't write the first thing you hear.

120

Are you ready for section two?

121

If you want to learn more about the social conversation question type, we have tons of interactive activities and method videos on e2language.com.

122

Now we move on to section two.

123

You'll hear a guide describing how coffee is brewed. Be careful.

124

Questions 15 to 17 require you to label a diagram.

125

Here you should listen for spatial words like over, housed in, and released through.

126

Now turn to section two.

127

You will hear a speaker describing the process of brewing coffee.

128

First, you will have time to read questions 12 to 18.

129

Brewers have developed numerous techniques to prepare the popular beverage coffee.

130

All techniques are based on leaching via solid liquid extraction, and each method aims to produce the best quality coffee possible.

131

A subjective feat that, despite evaluations from professional coffee tasters, is often a matter of personal preference.

132

Because so many chemical compounds comprise a single batch of coffee,

133

Determining precise correlations between the soluble's physical parameters and the beverage's quality is difficult.

134

However, understanding the mathematics of extraction can help identify the influence of various parameters on the final product.

135

While past studies have investigated the mathematics of coffee extraction, researchers have previously paid little attention to the drip filter brewing system.

136

Drip filter machines make up about 10 million of the over 18 million coffee machines sold yearly in Europe.

137

But I'm getting a bit technical now.

138

I'll explain to you the process of the drip system.

139

Drip filter brewing involves pouring hot water over a loose bed of coarser coffee in a filter.

140

The filter is housed in a funnel.

141

Gravity pulls the water through the filter, extracting coffee solubles from the grains during the flow.

142

The water flows through the bed, leaching soluble coffee components from the grains.

143

Any undissolved solids in the fluid are filtered from the extract as the liquid leaves the filter

144

and the brewed coffee is released through the funnel.

145

By contrast, espresso coffee is made by forcing hot water under high pressure through a compacted bed of finely ground coffee.

146

But we'll look at that in the next session.

147

That was a bit more technical.

148

Let's see how you did with the diagram labeling.

149

Here are the answers for section two.

150

Number 12 is personal preference.

151

13, coffee extraction.

152

Number 14 is 18 million or over 18 million.

153

The distractor was 10 million.

154

That's for drip filter machines only.

155

The total is 18 million.

156

15 is hot water.

157

16, funnel.

158

17, brewed coffee.

159

18 was B.

160

They force hot water through compacted, finely ground coffee.

161

Question 14 was a classic IELTS trap.

162

The speaker mentioned 10 million first, but the question asked for the total number, which was 18 million.

163

Always read the question word for word.

164

Now, let's move on to Section 3.

165

Section 3 involves an academic discussion between a student, Marie, and a course coordinator.

166

This is where it gets harder.

167

You need to identify agreement and specific conditions for the course.

168

Now turn to Section 3.

169

You will hear a woman asking for more information about a museum studies course at a university.

170

First, you have time to read questions 19 to 26.

171

Hi Marie.

172

Hello.

173

I'm here to ask a few questions about the Masters of Museum Studies.

174

Yes, I'm the coordinator of the program.

175

Can I ask why you are interested in this particular course of study?

176

Well, I did a Bachelor's in History with a minor in Migration Studies.

177

I'm currently working at the Migration Museum and am interested in doing research to specialise in my field,

178

particularly in the area of history of European migration to Australia.

179

I see.

180

I know the curator of the museum, Albert Hofferman, quite well.

181

The university and the museum do quite a lot of projects together.

182

Yes, it was actually Mr Hoffman who suggested I speak to you.

183

I see.

184

And how long have you been working at the Museum?

185

I've been working there for eight months.

186

Actually, it's been nine months now.

187

Since I work full-time, I'd like to study part-time.

188

How long would it take to complete a Master's part-time?

189

Well, the graduate diploma is six months with one year full-time.

190

But the Master's program is one year.

191

One semester of coursework and one semester of research.

192

So if you do it part-time it will take you two years.

193

Also, what modes of study are available?

194

Well, we actually offer campus mode, online mode or blended mode, which is part on campus and part online.

195

Hmm, I won't be able to attend campus all the time.

196

But I do want to be able to come to lectures and classes, so I guess blended mode would be best for me.

197

Yes, it's more flexible and some of the classes are offered at night to cater to students like you who work.

198

So how do I apply?

199

Because this is a specialised program, you need to have a bachelor's degree, which you do, as well as at least one year's work experience.

200

Although research experience is highly looked upon as you will be completing a thesis, work experience is a prerequisite.

201

Okay.

202

Have you thought about what you'd like to focus on?

203

I know you said you're interested in the history of European migration to Australia.

204

Well, I'm particularly interested in heritage studies.

205

I'm really interested in how migrant communities have maintained their heritage over the generations.

206

Well, you will enjoy the subject called Migration, Community and Heritage in Semester 1.

207

Sounds great.

208

I suggest you get started on your application.

209

Applications are due by the end of October.

210

Sorry, November.

211

Do I need to submit references or recommendations?

212

A recommendation letter from your employer would be beneficial, though not necessary.

213

I'm sure Albert would be happy to write one for you.

214

Yes, he is a very supportive boss and is really encouraging me to do further study.

215

Well, all the best with the application.

216

I look forward to seeing you at the start of the semester.

217

Thank you for your time.

218

This one had several distractors.

219

Did you catch the correction on the date in question 26?

220

Let's check your score.

221

The answers for section 3 start with number 19, which is B, to specialize in a particular area.

222

20 is B, 9 months.

223

The distractor here is that she worked for eight months, but then she says, actually, it's been nine months now.

224

21 is C, two years.

225

22 is C, blended.

226

Questions 23 and 24 ask you to choose two letters, A through F.

227

They can be in any order, but the answers are A and B.

228

So 23 would be A, bachelor's degree, and 24 would be B, work experience.

229

Note that they mentioned that research experience is looked upon highly, but it is not required.

230

25 is heritage.

231

26 is November.

232

The distractor here, they said end of October.

233

Oh, sorry, November.

234

27 is recommendation letter.

235

Okay, let's move on to the final stretch, section four.

236

This is the most difficult section, a monologue on an academic subject.

237

There are no breaks in the audio here, so you must keep your focus for the entire clip.

238

Now turn to section 4.

239

You will hear an archaeologist talking about seven ancient mysteries archaeologists will solve this century.

240

First, you will have time to read questions 28 to 40.

241

Thank you.

242

However, archaeologists have a staggering array of technological tools to employ,

243

from remote sensing equipment that allows us to see beyond the visual bandwidth,

244

to computers so powerful that they can process in a second what it would take humans thousands of years to do.

245

Archaeologists are calling the 21st century the New Age of Exploration.

246

The opportunities for what we can discover in this century, and the questions we'll finally be able to answer seem almost limitless.

247

With that enthusiasm in mind, we may be able to look forward to, in this new century of discovery,

248

discovering previously unknown cities or even civilizations in Central and South America.

249

Archaeologists are using LIDAR, Light Detection and Ranging, to literally see beneath dense jungle canopies.

250

They are also using ground penetrating radar or GPR in places like Honduras

251

and Belize to locate settlements that we weren't aware existed.

252

Finding the Tomb of Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great Technology like Ground Penetrating Radar,

253

GPR, enables archaeologists to look underground without digging.

254

Archaeologists have this technology to identify potential locations for the burial site of Genghis Khan.

255

While we didn't locate the Tomb of Genghis Khan at the time, it's a great way to survey large areas of land for what might be a relatively small feature.

256

Ultimately, it's a numbers game.

257

The more area you're able to survey, the more likely you are to find something.

258

Why not the tomb of Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great?

259

Entering the Tomb of China's First Emperor Archaeologists know the location of the burial site of Qin Shi Huang Di,

260

surrounded by his terracotta warriors in Xi'an.

261

But the potential of damaging items preserved in the tomb for more than 2000 years makes them reluctant to open it.

262

Remote sensing tools like GPR can give us an idea of the interior structure,

263

and eventually we'll have tiny robotic devices that can enter the tomb and collect data with negligible disturbance.

264

It's been more than a century since the powerful Minoan civilization of the Mediterranean was uncovered, but scholars are still unable to decipher their language known as Linear A.

265

So far we have more than 1400 examples of Linear A to study,

266

and now we have big data in our toolkit which used with computer analysis will help us decipher the mysterious language.

267

Understanding the purpose of the Nazca Lines Researchers are still theorising on the purpose of the Nazca Lines.

268

Do these elaborate geoglyphs in Peru represent constellations?

269

Are they associated with water sources?

270

Anthropologists say that no single evaluation proves a theory about the Nazca Lines.

271

This is where using increasingly powerful computer analysis to crunch big sets of geographical and archaeological data would be really important.

272

Recovering an intact Neanderthal As global warming causes ice sheets and glaciers to retreat, it will be very, very likely

273

that a well-preserved Neanderthal will one day emerge much like the 40,000-year-old baby mammoth found in Siberia.

274

Confirming large-scale Viking presence in North America Just as increasing temperatures will make glaciers reveal their secrets,

275

the thawing coasts of Canada will expose a network of Viking settlements

276

that will force us to rewrite the discovery of the Americas.

277

We already have identified two Viking sites in the Americas, and once we better understand the nature of these settlements,

278

I'll bet you will start recognizing them all along the Atlantic coast.

279

It's not impossible to imagine.

280

NASA also provides sophisticated high-tech tools that archaeologists are making use of.

281

NASA satellite imagery has been used to search for Mayan ruins in southern Mexico and Central America.

282

They've also made use of ground-penetrating radar, which sends electromagnetic pulses underground and then spots signals reflected back by buried structures.

283

The radar scans allow scientists to create images of what exists below.

284

In northwestern New Mexico, archaeologists have used drone aircraft equipped with thermal imaging cameras to identify the walls

285

and passages of a 1,000-year-old sediment buried beneath the dirt.

286

And Brexton University archaeologist Caitlin Bart and colleagues have used a robotic snake to probe man-made caves excavated by ancient Egyptians.

287

One of the advantages of these new tools is that touch-free archaeology enables searchers to scrutinize large areas without disturbing them,

288

and accidentally destroying valuable material.

289

Another potential advantage of high-tech archaeology is that despite the cost of sophisticated equipment, it saves time and manpower, and some of the tools,

290

such as software that stitches together data from various sources, usually can be downloaded for free.

291

And that's the end of the listening section.

292

Section 4 moves fast.

293

Let's see if you survived the archaeology lecture.

294

Here you should have been looking for specific technologies like GPR and LIDAR.

295

The answers to section 4.

296

Number 28 is A.

297

Ground Penetrating Radar or GPR.

298

29 A.

299

30 A.

300

31 C.

301

Computer Analysis.

302

32 C.

303

33 B.

304

Warming Temperatures.

305

34 B.

306

For numbers 35 and 36, again the order doesn't matter, but it's answers A and D.

307

Number 37 is A, thermal imaging.

308

38 is C, drones or drone aircraft.

309

39 is B, saving the sights.

310

40 is C, saving time and energy.

311

Deep breath, you're done with the listening section.

312

Now count up your total score out of 40.

313

How did you do?

314

If you scored under 30, don't worry.

315

It usually means you fell for the distractors.

316

Go back and re-listen to those specific parts.

FOR YOU

Сценарий: разговор о туристическом страховании

В видео представлен реальный диалог между женщиной и агентом страховой компании, который отражает типовую ситуацию при оформлении туристического страхования. Это отличная возможность познакомиться с бытовой коммуникацией на английском, которая часто встречается в повседневной жизни и на экзамене IELTS. Диалог включает в себя вопросы о данных клиента, условиях страховки и особенностях оформления — все, что нужно для того, чтобы чувствовать себя уверенно в подобных ситуациях.

Полезные фразы и сочетания слов

Take out travel insurance — оформить туристическое страхование. Это стандартное выражение, которое используется вместо более простых "buy insurance".
Existing client — действующий клиент. Полезно для описания отношения с компанией: "I'm an existing client with your bank".
Client number — номер клиента. Важно запомнить, так как на экзамене часто спрашивают такие детали.
Call me Alex — называйте меня Алексом. Обычный способ сократить имя в разговоре, чтобы создать более близкую атмосферу.
Date of birth — дата рождения. Это базовая информация, которая запрашивается практически во всех офисных диалогах.

Ваше задание: практика "shadowing"

Теперь пришло время проверить себя! Скачайте аудио из видео и попробуйте метод shadowing (последующее повторение). Вот как это сделать: включите запись, услышите фразу, остановите и повторите её сразу, копируя интонацию и темп речи. Сосредоточьтесь на фразах like "I'd like to take out travel insurance" или "Is that Wilkinson with two L's?". Для лучшего результата используйте shadowing site или приложения, которые помогают тренироваться в реальном времени. Эта техника, называемая также shadow speech или shadow speak, идеально подходит для улучшения произношения и уверенности в разговоре. Практикуйте по 5–10 минут в день, и скоро заметите прогресс! А если вы хотите учить английский по видео, такие диалоги — это отличный старт.

Грамматика в этом видео

Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:

Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает	is processed · can be written · is brewed
Придаточные определительные who / which + предложение — уточнение о человеке или предмете	number, which was · mode, which is

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
