Review and Explanations
1 Answer: 22.50 a month
Q1:

The main keywords in Q1 are “pricing” and “fixed 24-month contract”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe price of the Apple
iPhone 7S 32GB. Based on the keyword “fixed 24-month contract”, we can also
assume that the total can be divided among 24 months; for short, it can be mentioned
as the amount of money need to be paid per month.

Similar to Q2 and Q3, you may be easily confused when you hear this section as the
salesman referred to it after he mentioned Q2 and Q3. To prevent such thing, it’s
important for you to look at the keywords of the two questions before and when hearing
the conversation.

The answer to this question (which is “22.50 a month”) is quite easy to notice as the
salesman said it clearly and directly. The phrase “ fixed 24-month contract” following
after “22.50 a month” signifies that it’s the correct answer, but remember not to add
the symbol “£” to your answer since there has been one standing before the answer
gap. Adding such symbol will cause your answer to be unaccepted.

2 Answer: sleek and lightweight


Q2:

The main keyword in Q2 is “Pricing”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe price of the Apple
iPhone 7S 32GB.

You may be easily confused when you hear this section as the salesman referred to Q2
before Q1. To prevent such thing, it’s important for you to look at the keywords of the
two questions before and when hearing the conversation.

You can easily realise the answer to this question, which is “sleek and lightweight”,
as the salesman said it directly (the phrase “only 140 grams” following after the
answer justifies such answer). However, you will need to pay attention to the
conversation as the answer was mentioned before the phrase leading you to the answer
(“only 140 grams”). Together with the fact that those two are closed to each other, it’s
easy to be confused if you don’t listen carefully.

3 Answer: a voice-activated

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 10


Q3:

The main keywords in Q3 are “extra notes” and “special features”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toa special feature of
the Apple iPhone 7S 32GB.

Similar to Q2, you may be easily confused when you hear this section as the salesman
referred to Q3 before Q1. To prevent such thing, it’s important for you to look at the
keywords of the two questions before and when hearing the conversation.

You can easily realise the answer to this question, which is “a voice-activated”, as the
salesman said it directly (the two phrases “special features” and “built-in GPS”
justify such answer). However, you will need to pay attention to the conversation since
the answer and the phrases leading you to it are too closed to each other, which may
confuse you if you don’t listen carefully.

4 Answer: Slightly heavier


Q4:

The main keywords in Q4 are “appearance” and “than the iPhone”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething about the
LG G8 that is superior to the aforementioned iPhone.

The answer to this question (which is “slightly heavier”) is quite easy to notice as the
speaker said it clearly and directly (phrases like “149 grams” and “than the Apple
iPhone” help to justify the answer). However, the fact that the salesman mentioned the
camera features of the phone before its appearance (“The camera is a colossal 13
megapixels! You can also take still photos while simultaneously recording a
video!”) may cause you to be confused if you don’t listen carefully.

5 Answer: 565

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 11


Q5:

The main keyword in Q5 is “Camera Features/Battery Power”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe characteristic of
the LG 6S’s camera or battery power. Because the question has already mentioned
the camera features, battery power is the only thing you need to focus on.

Since we’ve already decided that battery power is the only thing we need to focus on,
anything related to camera features including the one that is mentioned in Q4, can be
ignored (“The camera is a colossal 13 megapixels! You can also take still
photos while simultaneously recording a video!”).

The answer to this question (which is “565”) is quite easy to notice as the salesman
said it clearly and directly. The phrase “ Standby time” standing before the answer
helps to signify it, but remember not to add the words “hours” to your answer since
there has been one standing after the answer gap. Adding such word will cause your
answer to be unaccepted.

6 Answer: Samsung DM S410


Q6:

The main keyword in Q6 is “Mobile Phone Model”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toa type of mobile
phone that the salesman introduced to the customer.

The answer to this question (which is “Samsung DM S410”) is quite easy to notice as
the salesman said it clearly and directly. The phrase “ Oh look, that's a nice phone”
shows that the salesman was about to introduce another new mobile phone, pointing
out that you should pay attention to the following in order to answer this question.

The only problem in this question is that the answer and the keyword leading you to it
are too closed to each other. You need to listen and take notes carefully in order to
answer this question correctly.

7 Answer: a flash

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 12


Q7:

The main keywords in Q7 are “Camera Features/Battery Power” and “lacks”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toa characteristic of
the camera or battery power that the mentioned phone doesn’t have. Because
the question has already mentioned the battery power, camera features is the only
thing you need to focus on.

The answer to this question (which is “a flash”) is quite easy to notice as the salesman
said it clearly and directly. The phrase “ the camera doesn't even possess” is similar
to the keyword “lacks” in terms of meaning, pointing out that you should pay attention
to the following in order to answer this question.

The only problem in this question is that the answer and the keyword leading you to it
are too closed to each other. You need to listen and take notes carefully in order to
answer this question correctly.

8 Answer: within the week


Q8:

The main keyword in Q8 is “Date due in store”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe due date for the
phone to be available in store. Because there has been a specific date mentioned
after the answer gap (“April 8th”), the answer may refer to a period of time rather than
a specific date.

The answer to this question is “within the week”, which isn’t very difficult to hear;
however, you may mistake the word “today” as the correct answer since the salesman
said it before he mentioned the answer (“But if I put in an order today”). Note that
the salesman inferred the day he intended to order the phone, not the one that the
phone would be available (phrases like “But if” and “I put in an order” signify such
thing).Therefore, the answer should be “within the week” rather than “today”.

9 Answer: Janet Johnson


Q9:

The main keyword in Q9 is “Customer name”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe name of the
customer.

The answer to this question (which is “Janet Johnson”) is quite easy to notice as the
customer said it clearly and directly. She also gave a reminder regarding her name
(“Johnson with an 'H'”), which can help you to write down the answer correctly.

The only problem in this question is that the answer and the keyword leading you to it
(“take your name and contact number”) are too closed to each other. You need to
listen and take notes carefully in order to answer this question correctly.

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 13


10 Answer: 0799 6783058378
Q10:

The main keyword in Q10 is “Contact number”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe contact number
of the customer.

The answer to this question (which is “0799 678 305 8378”) is quite easy to notice as
the customer said it clearly and directly. Phrases like “ take your name and contact
number” and “my mobile number” help to indicate where the answer is.

The only problem in this question is that the answer and the keyword leading you to it
are too closed to each other. You need to listen and take notes carefully in order to
answer this question correctly.

11 Answer: C
Q11:

The main keyword in Q11 is “Unisex toilet”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe position of the
unisex toilet.

The speaker mentioned that their current location was in front of the entrance door in
the large storage room (phrases like “At the moment, we're standing in the large
storage room” and “We've just come through the entrance door indicated and
that's now behind us” signify that). Keep that detail in mind as it’ll help you locate the
correct position of all the things in that lab.

The location of the unisex toilet (which is “C”) is easy to notice and realise as the
speaker said it clearly and directly. That the speaker mentioned the caretaker’s room
before he mentioned the unisex toilets points out that those two are related to each
other. In this case, the speaker said “Immediately after are the unisex toilets”,
pointing out that the toilets should be next to the caretaker’s room. Therefore, C is the
correct answer.

12 Answer: D

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 14


Q12:

The main keyword in Q12 is “Eyewash/ emergency shower”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe position of the
eyewash/ emergency shower.

In this part, the speaker took people to various location as they went on a tour of the lab
(phrases like “Now, let's go through these doors ahead of us and Into the Dry
Lab” and “Let's walk over there and take a look” prove that they weren’t standing
still), which may confuse you if you don’t listen carefully. Pay attention to the talk and
listen carefully in order to pinpoint the exact location of the speaker.

If we listen to the talk carefully and take notes of the aforementioned phrases, we can
realised that the speaker was standing in front of the acid storage bin area. Together
with what the speaker said about the position of the eyewash/ emergency shower:
“That’s just back where we came in, right after the doors opening onto the
Dry Lab, on the outside corner of the unisex toilets”, we can realise that the
eyewash/emergency shower is near the unisex toilets and the doors opening onto the
Dry Lab, indicating that D is the correct answer.

13 Answer: B
Q13:

The main keyword in Q13 is “Chest freezer”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe position of the
chest freezer.

The speaker mentioned two things: the chest freezer and the cooler, right after he
mentioned the eyewash/emergency shower, which may confuse you if you haven’t
finished answering the question before. You should be aware of such circumstance, as
well as listen carefully and take notes quickly.

The phrase “off to your right, as you're facing the acid storage bins ” said by the
speaker shows two possible answers: B and A. Nevertheless, you may mistake A as the
correct answer when you hear the speaker said: “The cooler area is divided into
two sections” (The label A points to two sections). Note that it is the cooler area that
he mentioned, not the chest freezer. In fact, such sentence drops a hint that the chest
freezer should be the remaining label, which is B. Therefore, B should be the correct
answer to this question.

Noted: You may mistakenly choose B and A as the correct answers to Q15 a n d Q14
since those questions also ask for the position of the freezer and the cooler. Note that
the freezer in Q15 and the cooler in Q14 have the word “walk-in” in them, whereas the
ones mentioned in Q13 are just normal ones. You should read the question carefully
unless you want to lose some easy points.

14 Answer: F

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 15


Q14:

The main keyword in Q14 is “Walk-in cooler”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe position of the
walk-in cooler.

In this part, the speaker took people to various location as they went on a tour of the lab
(phrases like “let's go and see the rooms now at the other end of the building”
and “Let's pass on by this lab and the Clean Lab adjacent to it and make our
way to the small storage area” prove that they weren’t standing still), which may
confuse you if you don’t listen carefully. Pay attention to the talk and listen carefully in
order to pinpoint the exact location of the speaker, which was in the storage room.

Sentences like “You can see two doors leading off this room ”, “The one ahead is
an exit which will take you outside the building”, and what the speaker said about
the position of the walk-in cooler: “The other leads to the walk-in cooler” signify
that the walk-in cooler is behind the door leading to another room in the building, which
is F. Therefore, F is the correct answer.

15 Answer: G
Q15:

The main keyword in Q15 is “Walk-in freezer”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe position of the
walk-in freezer.

What the speaker said about the position of the walk-in freezer (“It can only be
accessed by leaving the building entirely, either through the exit I just
pointed out or the first entrance we came in”) shows that you need to go outside
the building in order to enter the room that has the walk-in freezer.

Base on the floor plan, we can realise that the room with labelG can only be entered by
going outside the building. Therefore, G is the correct answer to this question.

16 Answer: B

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 16


Q16:

The main keywords in Q16 are “assuming”, “laboratory workers”, and “Health and
Safety Procedure”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething about
Health and Safety Procedure that is related to the laboratory workers, which
is assumed by the speaker.

It isn’t hard to locate where the answer is because it was mentioned by the speaker
right from the start. The phrase “I know that” signifies this is what the speaker was
assuming.

You may mistake A as the correct answer due to the speaker’s use of words (“I know
that you are not unfamiliar”). In this case, the speaker was using the double
negative (“not unfamiliar”) in order to infer that the laboratory workers should have
been familiar with the procedures. Therefore, A isn’t the correct answer to this question,

You may also mistake C as the correct answer when you hear the speaker said: “must
know them off by memory”. Note that the phrase “know them off” implies that you
know something so well that you can say or do it without having to try or think. Such
phrase indicates that C isn’t the correct answer to this question, which lead to B as the
only suitable choice to this question.

17 Answer: A
Q17:

The main keyword in Q17 is “experiments”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething about all
the experiments that the laboratory workers want or intend to do. Base on the
given answers, we can also assume that such experiments is somehow related to the
Health and Safety Officer.

You may mistake C as the correct answer to this question when you hear the speaker
said: “”In certain cases, written approval is required”. Note that the question
refers to all experiments, whereas what the speaker mentioned is just some certain
cases. Therefore, C isn’t the correct answer to this question.

Base on the phrase “In certain cases, written approval is required”, we can also
remove answer B from the answer list as the answer implies that all the experiments
need written approval, while the speaker inferred that such thing is required in certain
cases.

The fact that the speaker said: “The Health and Safety Coordinator has the final
decision in situations where formal approval is needed” points out that the
Health and Safety Officer has the ability to decide whether the experiment is accepted
or not; for short, they has discretion over all the experiments, implying that A is the
correct answer to this question.

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 17


18 Answer: B
Q18:

The main keywords in Q18 are “projects” and “not approved”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething should be
done when a project isn’t approved.

You may mistake C as the correct answer to this question when you hear the speaker
said: “”In certain cases, written approval is required”. Note that the question
refers to all experiments, whereas what the speaker mentioned is just some certain
cases. Therefore, C isn’t the correct answer to this question.

Base on the phrase “In certain cases, written approval is required”, we can also
remove answer B from the answer list as the answer implies that all the experiments
need written approval, while the speaker inferred that such thing is required in certain
cases.

The fact that the speaker said: “The Health and Safety Coordinator has the final
decision in situations where formal approval is needed” points out that the
Health and Safety Officer has the ability to decide whether the experiment is accepted
or not; for short, they has discretion over all the experiments, implying that A is the
correct answer to this question.

19 Answer: B
Q19:

The main keywords in Q19 are “not permissible” and “remove”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething that
cannot be removed, or get permission to be removed. Base on the listed answers,
we can also assume that such thing cannot be removed from the laboratory.

The answer to this question (which is B) is quite easy to notice as the speaker said it
clearly and directly. The phrase “ On no account” is similar to the keyword “not
permissible” in terms of meaning, indicating that this is the answer you’re looking for.

You may feel confused when you hear the speaker mentioned: “Obviously the same
goes for equipment that is portable”. Note that the speaker said “the same goes
for”, pointing out that laboratory clothing or samples are still given higher priority.
Therefore, choosing B as your correct answer is still correct.

20 Answer: C

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 18


Q20:

The main keyword in Q20 is “contaminated objects”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toan action that should
be done when it comes to contaminated objects.

You may mistake B as the correct answer when you hear the speaker said “these can
be temporarily stored”. Note that he used the phrase “temporarily stored” in his
sentence, indicating that such objects will be removed shortly. Choosing B as the
correct answer may cause you to lose the point of this question.

The word “However” following after the aforementioned phrase shows that the correct
answer should follow right after that. In this case, the correct answer to this question is
C.

21 Answer: A
Q21:

The main keywords in Q21 are “Annette” and “lecture”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toAnnette’s opinion
about the upcoming lecture.

You may mistake B as the correct answer when you hear Annette said: “It's not that
it's not a relevant field of study”. Note that she used the phrase “It's not that” in
her sentence, indicating that the lecture is still relevant to her field of study, and such
thing isn’t her main reason for not going to that lecture.

When you realise the problem in the aforementioned phrase, you can easily find out the
real answer, which is pointed out in the phrase following right after it (“it isn't
personally relevant to me”). In this case, A is the correct answer to this question.

22 Answer: C
Q22:

The main keywords in Q22 are “believes” and “microchip implant technology”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething about
microchip implant technology that Mark believes.

You may mistake A as the correct answer when you hear Mark said: “Still I think the
concept of microchip implants is rather intriguing”. In this case, it means that
Mark thought microchip implants technology is quite interesting rather than beneficial to
everyone. Therefore, A isn’t the correct answer to this question.

The phrase “such a technology opens up so many possibilities” following after the
aforementioned phrase points out that the correct answer should be C as both of them
hold the same meaning.

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 19


23 Answer: C
Q23:

The main keywords in Q23 are “Mark’s opinion” and “microchip implant
technology”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething related to
microchip implant technology. Base on the listed answers, we can also assume that
such thing is related to science fiction.

The answer to this question (which is C) is quite easy to notice as Mark said it clearly
and directly. The phrase “ the prediction didn't fall far short of reality” is similar to
the phrase “fairly accurately” in terms of meaning, which strengthen the fact that C is
the correct answer to this question.

24 Answer: B
Q24:

The main keyword in Q24 is “Implanting a microchip”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething related to
microchip implant. Base on the listed answers, we can also assume that the correct
answer refers to the feeling when implanting a microchip.

You may mistake C as the correct answer when you hear Annette said: “I'd imagine it
was quite painful!” Note that she used the phrase “I'd imagine”, indicating that such
thing was only her imagination rather than the real experience. Therefore, C shouldn’t
be correct answer to this question.

The answer to this question (which is B) should be easy to notice when Mark said that
“All you feel is a slight prick on your skin ”, which points out that the pain is very
minimum. The phrase “it's relatively painless” also proves that the pain is fairly, or
barely, noticeable (“relatively” means “fairly”). Therefore, B is the correct answer to
this question.

25 Answer: B

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 20


Q25:

The main keyword in Q25 is “Microchips”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething related to
microchips. Base on the listed answers, we can also assume that the correct answer
refers to the place where microchips are implanted .

The answer to this question (which is “B”) is quite easy to notice as it was said clearly
and directly. The phrase “ under your skin” is similar to “beneath the skin’s layer” in
terms of meaning, indicating that B is the correct answer.

The only problem in this question is that the answer ofQ24 and Q25 are too closed to
each other. You need to listen and take notes carefully in order to answer this question
correctly.

26 Answer: C
Q26:

The main keyword in Q26 is “Turning on electrical appliances”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toAnnette’s opinion
about using microchip to turn on electrical appliances.

If you understand the meaning of what Annette said in her sentence (“Indispensable
wouldn't be the word I'd use for encouraging people to be so lazy that they
can't switch on an electric appliance unaided”), you can realise that C is the
correct answer to this question. In this case, Annette said that “Indispensable
wouldn't be the word I'd use”, indicating that she didn’t think such function is
necessary, hence her disagreement.

27 Answer: A
Q27:

The main keyword in Q26 is “Accessing medical records”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toAnnette’s opinion
about using microchip to access medical records.

The answer to this question (which is A) is easy to notice as Annette said it clearly and
directly. The fact that she said “ I take your point though about using microchips
to access medical records” indicates that she agrees with such function, hence her
approval.

28 Answer: C

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 21


Q28:

The main keyword in Q28 is “Security system”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toAnnette’s opinion
about using microchip to secure the security system.

You may mistake A or B as the correct answer when you hear Annette said: “I can't say
that I was really in favour of the idea when you first mentioned it... but now
you've persuaded me.” While the first half of her sentence may cause you to choose
B as the correct answer, the other half may cause you to choose A. However, none of
them are correct in this case. Take notice of what she said afterward: “ If it's so easy
to breach security then you're really defeating the whole point of the object
aren't you”. Such sentence proves that Mark himself was neglecting his own idea,
which points out that C is the real correct answer to this question.

29 Answer: A
Q29:

The main keyword in Q29 is “finding lost pets”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toAnnette’s opinion
about using microchip to find lost pets.

The answer to this question (which is A) is easy to notice as it was said clearly and
directly through the phrase “I can understand pet owners wanting to microchip
their pets”. However, you may be confused when you hear the following: “I don't
think the case for microchipping humans is as clear-cut”. Note that Annette was
talking about humans in that part, hence its irrelevance to this question.

30 Answer: B
Q30:

The main keyword in Q30 is “A GPS system”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toAnnette’s opinion
about using microchip as a GPS system.

The answer to this question (which is B) is easy to notice as Annette said it clearly and
directly. The fact that she said “I don't think the case for microchipping humans is
as clear-cut” indicates Annette’s doubt about such function, which is also
strengthened by her question: is it wise for an individual's movements to be
known to everyone?“”.

The only problem in this question is that the answer ofQ29 and Q30 are too closed to
each other. You need to listen and take notes carefully in order to answer this question
correctly.

31 Answer: catching on (fast)


Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 22
Q31:

The main keywords in Q31 are “Drone technology”, “people of all ages”, and “all
walks of life”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toa characteristic of
drone technology that are considered by people of all age and all walks of life.
Based on the place of the answer gap, we can realise that the answer is an adjective
or a verb in V-ing form .

You may mistake “popular” as the correct answer when you hear the speaker said “In
fact they are becoming so popular amongst gadget lovers”. Note that he was
referring to gadget lovers rather than people of all ages or all walks of life.
Therefore, it can’t be the correct answer to this question.

The answer to this question (which is “catching on (fast)”) is easy to notice once you
realise the fault in the aforementioned phrase. Phrases like “It is certainly a
technology” and “People of all ages are seemingly fascinated by UAVs ” placed
before and after the answer signify that the correct answer should be placed between
them.

32 Answer: recreational
Q32:

The main keywords in Q32 are “use”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toa characteristic of
the use of drones. Based on the place of the answer gap, we can realise that the
answer is an adjective.

The answer to this question (which is “recreational”) is quite easy to notice as it was
said clearly and directly. The word “purely” can be found in both before the answer and
the answer gap in Q32, which helps to find out the correct answer to this question.

Regardless of such, you may mistake “professional” as the correct answer when you
hear “whether the interest is professional or purely recreational”. In this case,
such word is similar to the word “work-related” mentioned in the question in terms of
meaning, indicating that it isn’t the correct answer as it has already been mentioned in
the question.

33 Answer: new industry

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 23


Q33:

The main keywords in Q33 are “In the US” and “drone technology”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tothe status of drone
technology in the US. Based on the place of the answer gap, we can realise that the
answer is a noun or a noun phrase.

The answer to this question (which is “new industry”) is easy to notice as it was said
clearly and directly. Along with phrases like “ In the US alone” and “could create up
to 70,000 jobs”, the word “booming”, which can be found in both before the answer
and the answer gap in Q33, help to find out the correct answer to this question.

34 Answer: ground-breaking
Q34:

The main keywords in Q34 are “E-commerce delivery” and “use”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toa characteristic of
the use of UAV in E-commerce delivery. Based on the place of the answer gap, we
can realise that the answer is an adjective.

The answer to this question (which is “ground-breaking”) is quite easy to notice as it


was said clearly and directly. The speaker used many words and phrases that are also
appear in the question (“the most novel”, “use”, and “E-commerce delivery”),
which help to find out the correct answer to this question.

35 Answer: delivery service


Q35:

The main keywords in Q35 are “Amazon”, “drone-based”, and “stopped”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething that the
Amazon planned to do but end up being stopped. Based on the place of the
answer gap, we can realise that the answer is a noun or a noun phrase.

The answer to this question (which is “delivery service”) is quite easy to notice as it
was said clearly and directly. The phrase “ first conceived of drones as ” is similar to
the phrase “keen to take up the idea of a drone-based” in terms of meaning, and
the word “stalled” is also similar to the word “stopped” in the same terms. All of them
help to find out the correct answer to this question.

36 Answer: aviation rules

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 24


Q36:

The main keywords in Q36 are “Drone-based delivery service”, “conform to US”,
and “making them illegal”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething about
drone-based delivery service that failed to meet the US’s rules and
requirements. Based on the place of the answer gap, we can realise that the answer is
a noun or a noun phrase.

The answer to this question (which is “aviation rules”) is quite easy to notice as it was
said clearly and directly. Phrases like “ the proposed drone delivery service
conflicted with” and “laid down by the US Federal Aviation Administration” help
to narrow down the correct answer to this question.

37 Answer: more relaxed


Q37:

The main keywords in Q37 are “laws”, “the UK”, and “big business”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething about the
UK’s laws that help drone-based delivery system become a big business. Based
on the place of the answer gap, we can realise that the answer is an adjective.

The answer to this question (which is “more relaxed”) is easy to notice as it was said
clearly and directly. Phrases like “ The UK”, “aviation laws”, and “makes the UK a
very attractive country to develop the E-commerce delivery system” help to
narrow down the correct answer to this question.

38 Answer: aerial photography


Q38:

The main keywords in Q38 are “the UK”, “successful venture”, and “drone-based”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toa business that is
currently very successful in the UK. Based on the place of the answer gap, we can
realise that the answer is a noun or a noun phrase.

The answer to this question (which is “aerial photography”) is easy to notice as it was
said clearly and directly. Phrases like “ Britain is already a leader” and “drone-
based” help to narrow down the correct answer to this question. The speaker also
explained why such business is a success in the UK, proving that aerial photography
is the correct answer to this question.

39 Answer: controlled area

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 25


Q39:

The main keywords in Q39 are “Problems” and “not confining their drones”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer toa place where people
flying their drones should keep them unless they want to cause troubles.
Based on the place of the answer gap, we can realise that the answer is a noun or a
noun phrase.

The answer to this question (which is “controlled area”) is easy to notice as it was
said clearly and directly. Phrases like “ Many of the problems have arisen” and
“When someone flies a drone outside” help to narrow down the correct answer to
this question.

40 Answer: stricter regulations


Q40:

The main keywords in Q40 are “brought in”, “drone industry”, and “will not
become”.

We can assume from the question that the answer may refer tosomething that can
prevent drone industry from growing if it is brought in. Based on the place of the
answer gap, we can realise that the answer is a noun or a noun phrase.

The answer to this question (which is “stricter regulations”) is easy to notice as it


was said clearly and directly. However, that the speaker used many words and phrases
that are difficult to understand (like “in place”, “burgeoning”, or “the sky's the limit”)
may cause confuse you if you don’t understand what the answer is. Note that we’ve
confirmed that the answer something that can prevent drone industry from
growing if it is brought in, indicating that you should only pay attention to such
something. In this case, they are stricter regulations.

Audio Script:

Part 1
You will hear a conversation in a mobile phone centre between a customer and
a mobile phone seller. First you have some time to look at questions 1-
7. [Pause 30 seconds]

You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this
occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.

Salesman: Good afternoon, madam, May I help you?

Customer: Oh yes. I'm looking for a mobile phone but don't really know where
to start. This one looks a very attractive phone.

Salesman: Ah yes, that's the Apple iPhone 7S 32GB. It's very sleek and
lightweight; it's only 140 grammes. It's a classic look, packed with special
features such as a voice-activated service to assist you and built-in GPS.

Narrator: The phone the customer first looks at is the Apple iPhone 7S 32GB. So
you should write '7S 32GB' in the space provided. You should answer the
questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.

Listen carefully and answer questions 1-7.

Salesman: Good afternoon, madam. May I help you?

Customer: Oh yes. I'm looking for a mobile phone but don't really know where
to start. This one looks a very attractive phone.

Salesman: Ah yes, that's the Apple iPhone 7S 32GB. It's


very Q2 sleek and lightweight; it's only 140 grammes. It's a classic
look, packed with special features such as Q3 a voice-activated service to
assist you and built-in GPS.

Customer: Well, I really only want a mobile which has a good camera and
which is easy to use. Oh, and another thing! I don't want it to run out of battery
all the time like some of those cheaper phones.

Salesman: If you want an excellent camera then this phone has an 8-megapixel
camera for photos. You can also talk for up to 8 hours once the battery is
charged. On standby, your phone will remain powered for up to 200 hours.

Customer: Oh, that sounds good. How much is it, though? Salesman: You're
looking at Q1 £22,50 a month on a fixed 24-month contract. The good thing is
that there are no fees payable upfront.
Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 27
Customer: Yes, it's a bit pricey. What about this one?

Salesman: That's the LG G8 phone. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you when
you learn the price; It's £40 per month.

Customer: For a 24-month contract?

Salesman: Afraid so. But you're paying for several excellent features. The
camera is a colossal 13 megapixels! You can also take still photos while
simultaneously recording a video! Another good point is that it is remarkably
lightweight at 149 grammes - so it's only Q4 slightly heavier than the Apple
iPhone we just looked at.

Customer: What is the battery power?

Salesman: A lot more impressive than the Apple iPhone. Standby time is
Q5 565 hours and talk time 19 hours. It also has a high-definition screen that
is second to none due to Quad HD technology In fact the screen has four times
the pixel count of a normal HD screen

Customer: I admit I love the look of the phone but really it's way out of my
price range. Oh look, that's a nice phone! The one with the flip top.

Salesman: Ah yes, the Q6 Samsung DM S410. That's one of our more basic
models but it's still solid and reliable. Obviously it has hard keys rather than a
touch screen but it's very economical. It's only £20 for the handset and It's
pay-as-you-go thereafter.

Customer: What about the camera? Are the pictures of good quality?

Salesman: That's where the other two phones I showed you earlier are far
superior in quality of picture than this model. In fact, the camera doesn't even
possess Q7 a flash. You're also very limited on your talk time. It's only up to
2.5 hours and standby time is 75 hours. It's also fairly lightweight considering
it's not state-of-the-art technology. It weighs in at 131 grammes.

Narrator: Before listening to the rest of the conversation you have some time to
look at questions 8-10. [Pause 30 seconds] Now listen and answer questions 8-
10.

Customer: Well, all things considered, I reckon the Apple IPhone 7S 32GB is the
one for me.

Salesman: Actually, I know that it's out of stock at the moment. We only have
the display model to show customers. But if I put in an order today it will be
with you Q8 within the week, say around April 8th.

Customer: Great!
Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 28
Salesman: So If I could just take your name and contact number, I will give you
a call as soon as it's In.

Customer: OK, thank you. The name's Q9 Janet Johnson. That's Johnson with
an 'H' and my mobile number is Q10 0799 6783058378.

Salesman: Wonderful. Thank you very much madam. It was a pleasure meeting
you.

Customer: Thank you, too, for all your help and for your patience!

Narrator: That's the end of Part 1. You have half a minute to check your
answers. [Pause 30 seconds]

Now turn to Part 2.

Part 2
You will hear a scientist giving a laboratory induction to a group of new
employees. First you will have time to look at questions 11-15. [Pause 30
seconds]

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11-15.

Welcome everybody to Browning-Smith laboratories. I'll be giving you a short


tour around your new working environment and pointing out several key
features. It's very much state-of-the-art as I'm sure you'll see.

Please now look at the plan of the laboratory building I gave you earlier. At the
moment, we're standing in the large storage room. It's right there, positioned
at the top on your plans and roughly in the middle. We've just come through
the entrance door indicated and that's now behind us. OK, so got your
bearings? All know where we are? Good! Let's continue our tour then and go
next to the Dry Lab.

Q11 As we go straight ahead down this corridor, the caretaker's room is the
next room on your right. Immediately after are the unisex toilets. Now, let's go
through these doors ahead of us and Into the Dry Lab. OK... So here we are
now In the Dry Lab, which is the laboratory's biggest work area. If you look at
your map, as we are standing now with the doors behind us, you can see the
acid storage bin area clearly marked off to your right. Let's walk over there and
take a look. You can see on your maps that we're standing In the far end of the
building now. The acid storage bins are a hazardous area obviously. If one of
you should accidentally come Into contact with not only these stored materials
but any other hazardous substance, then please proceed immediately to the
eve wash/emereency shower area. Q12 That's just back where we came in,
Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 29
right after the doors opening onto the Dry Lab, on the outside corner of the
unisex toilets. I think those are the ’main features this end of the Lab apart
from Q13 the chest freezer and cooler you see off to your right, as you're
facing the acid storage bins. The cooler area is divided into two sections.

OK... let's go and see the rooms now at the other end of the building. Now don't
turn off to your left... that's where we entered the lab, If you'll remember... The
next entrance off to your left, however, is the Wet Lab which if you'll look on
your plan Is adjacent to the large storage area but can only be reached by this
entrance. Let's pass on by this lab and the Clean Lab adjacent to It and make
our way to the small storage area. It's the first room through these doors
ahead of us now. Please hold the door open for the person behind you as we
file through. Good, I think that's everyone here now. This is the small storage
area and now we are at this end of the building there remains for me to show
you only one other room. Q14 You can see two doors leading off this room.
The one ahead is an exit which will take you outside the building. The other
leads to the walk-in cooler. Oh... There is one more area I need to mention.
That's Q15 the walk-in freezer. It can only be ac-cessed by leaving the building
entirely, either through the exit I just pointed out or the first entrance we came
in. I hope that's all clear now but you will soon become more familiar with the
general layout of the laboratory building.

Narrator: Before you hear the rest of the discussion you have some time to look
at questions 16-20. [Pause 30 seconds]

Now listen and answer questions 16-20.

Now I'd just like to refer to Health and Safety Procedure. Q16 This is
essentially to fulfil basic health and safety requirements since I know that you
are not unfamiliar with such procedures and must know them off by memory!

OK... So firstly, I'd like to say that if you are undertaking any project whether
supervised or not, all of you will be required to discuss it first with your Health
and Safety Co-ordinator. In certain cases, written approval is
required. Q17 The Health and Safety Co-ordinator has the final decision in
situations where formal approval is needed. Everyone undertaking a project
will have to first submit a form of a written standard operating procedure to the
Health and Safety Co-ordinator, outlining the steps and justifications for
the experimental process to be carried out. Q18 Should the undertaking of a
project not be granted initially, plans for the project, if satisfactorily amended,
can be represented to the Health and Safety Co-ordinator for approval at a
later date.

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 30


Assuming acceptance of the undertaking of a project, strict laboratory
procedures must be adhered to. Overalls and non-hazardous equipment can be
kept in the large storage room. Q19 On no account can either laboratory
clothing or samples be removed from the building itself. Obviously the same
goes for equipment that is portable. This way we can ensure that no cross-
contamination can occur with samples or specimens kept in the laboratories.

Finally, and this goes without saying, when hazardous materials are being
handled, full protective equipment should be worn. Safety goggles and
protective overalls are kept in the small storage room for this purpose. Q20 If
using sharp, contaminated objects, such as needles, these can be temporarily
stored in clearly marked containers on your laboratory work surface. However,
they must be disposed of by the end of the day in the waste disposal bins
clearly indicated outside the laboratory building. These bins are to be found
just outside the exit by the small storage room.

In the event of fire, please make your way immediately to the nearest of the
two exits, either by the small storage or large storage room that I pointed out
earlier.

All that remains for me to do Is to welcome you all to the company and wish
you good luck!

Narrator: That's the end of Part 2. You have half a minute to check your
answers. [Pause 30 seconds]

Now turn to Part 3.

Part 3
You will hear a discussion between two science students. First you have some
time to look at questions 21-25.

[Pause 30 seconds]

Now listen carefully and answer questions 21-25.

Annette: Hi Mark! Are you going to that lecture on microchip Implant


technology? I don't think I'll go. Q21 It's not that it's not a relevant field of
study, it's just that it isn't personally relevant to me. If it were a Computer
Science lecture, though, I wouldn't miss It for anything!

Mark: I know! Still I think the concept of microchip Implants is rather


intriguing. Q22 Whether you like the idea or not, such a technol-ogy opens up
so many possibilities. Almost everyone stands to benefit from it.

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 31


Annette: It just sounds so futuristic and like something out of a sci-fi novel to
me.

Mark: Q23 Funnily enough, microchip technology was first predicted in a sci-fi
novel over half a century ago. More amazingly still, the prediction didn't fall far
short of reality, either!

Annette: But what sort of person would implant a microchip in their body?

Mark: Oh I don't know... gadget and techie enthusiasts for one. Whilst we may
not have the technology available at the moment to use their full potential they
will have uses in many fields in the future, I'm sure,

Annette: But doesn't the Implantation of the chip hurt at all? I'd imagine it was
quite painful!

Mark: Q24 Actually, from what I've heard it's relatively painless. Q25 All you
feel is a slight prick on your skin as a needle with the chip is inserted under
your skin.

Annette: Just the thought of it makes my stomach turn! But isn't it quite
unsightly? Doesn't the chip show up as a bump on the skin's surface?

Mark: No, not at all. It's really minute, you see. It's so small it fits into the size
of a thumbnail.

Annette: Well, it's certainly not my thing, for sure.

Mark: I think you ought to come to the lecture though. You might change your
mind.

Annette: No, you go. If you find out anything interesting, then you can tell me.
I'll be around on campus for at least the rest of the afternoon.

Mark: OK! You're on.

Annette: Great! Well meet after the lecture then. See you!

Mark: Bye!

Narrator: Before you hear the rest of the discussion you have some time to look
at questions 26-30. [Pause 30 seconds]

Now listen and answer questions 26-30.

Annette: Hi Mark! So how was the lecture?

Mark: You really missed out!

Annette: Really?

Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 32


Mark: Yes. I learned so much. You wouldn't believe how microchip implants will
improve our lives in the future.

Annette: Oh? Tell me more.

Mark: Well, from the simple action of allowing us to switch on a light or


mechanical device with a wave of the hand to accessing our medical records,
microchips will prove indispensable to us in the future!

Annette: Q26 Hm... Indispensable wouldn't be the word I'd use


for encouraging people to be so lazy that they can't switch on an electric
appliance unaided. I thought remote controls were bad enough! Q27 I take
your point though about using microchips to access medical records.

Mark: Also, using microchip implant technology can help secure buildings.
Access of buildings in the future will be restricted to individuals with a specific
code on their microchip implant. But at the moment, though, there are some
problems with the technology.

Annette: Like what, exactly?

Mark: Well, the microchip ID numbers of employees can theoretically be


obtained and cloned by any individual standing close enough with a hand-held
device.

Annette: Q28 I can't say that I was really in favour of the idea when you first
mentioned it... but now you've persuaded me. If it's so easy to breach security
then you're really defeating the whole point of the object aren't you, by using
microchips to secure a building.

Mark: Guess so... but there's another brilliant use for microchips that I haven't
told you about yet...

Annette: Go on...

Mark: GPS-enabled chips!

Annette: Which are?

Mark: Well, microchips that tell you the position of an individual. Like a GPS
that tells you the direction when you're in a car but these tell you where
someone is when they're lost and say if they're injured or In danger, they can
be found easily.

Annette: So It's a bit like the microchips that are already used on pets?

Mark: Exactly!

Annette: Q29 Q30 Much as I can understand pet owners wanting to microchip
Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 33
their pets i don't think the case for microchipping humans is as clear-cut. I
mean is it wise for an individual's movements to be known to everyone? That
could place some individuals such as political activists and those
escaping persecution under threat.

Mark: Doesn't seem like you're a great fan of microchip implants, then.

Annette; Their uses do at best seem rather limited Well, you won't catch me
having a microchip implant in the near future, that's for sure!

Narrator: That's the end of Part 3. You have half a minute to check your
answers. [Pause 30 seconds]

Now turn to Part 4.

Part 4
You will hear part of a science lecture. First you have some time to look at
questions 31-40. [Pause 1 minute]

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31-40.

Now I'm sure most of you will be familiar with the concept of drones or
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, UAVs for short, to give them their technical name. If
you are lucky enough, you may even own one! In fact they are becoming so
popular amongst gadget lovers that the sales of consumer drones were up by
24% In 2014. It is certainly a technology that is Q31 catching on fast and
seems to have captured the public's imagination. People of all ages are
seemingly fascinated by UAVs whether the interest is professional or
purely Q32 recreational. In fact, so far most members of the public tend
to view UAVs as no more than a very sophisticated and expensive toy. As
confirmation of this, Selfridges, the well-known London department store, has
described them as 'the ultimate toy that spans the generations'. However, in
this lecture, I would like to talk about the more serious side to UAVs and how
they may revolutionise the world of business as well as employment.

With regard to the job sector, analysts predict that the market for drones could
be worth billions. In the US alone, drones could create up to 70,000 jobs In this
booming Q33 new industry. This would definitely be a boost to employment in
a time where so many industries are replacing their workers with machines.
The consumer end of the market, though, is a mere drop in the ocean. The
potential for drones to revolutionise the way we do business is where the real
opportunity lies and Britain has the potential to become the world leader.

Probably the most novel and Q34 ground-breaking use for UAVs is as an E-
Access https://ieltsonlinetests.com for more practices page 34
commerce Q35 delivery service. However, the idea has yet to get off the
ground - literally! In principal, the idea is an excellent one. Consumers order
Items from an Internet site and the order is dispatched and delivered to your
door by an unmanned drone within minutes. The mall order giant, Amazon, first
conceived of drones as a delivery service in the US, but plans stalled leading
many to question if the whole proposition was merely a marketing stunt. More
likely, though, the proposed drone delivery service
conflicted with Q36 aviation rules as laid down by the US Federal
Aviation Administration. The biggest problem In the US is that they've
invested $5 billion in a new traffic control system but it was years
before drones were on the radar. Therefore, aviation laws are not compatible
with or accommodate for UAVs.

The UK, however, has much Q37 more relaxed aviation laws. Drones are
permitted as long as they do not fly in 'crowded areas' as defined by the Civil
Aviation Authority. It, therefore, makes the UK a very attractive country to
develop the E-commerce delivery system in. Whilst the UK Is trying to set up
and run a drone-based delivery service, Britain is already a leader In the field
of drone-based Q38 aerial photography. If you think about it, the potential for
such photography Is huge. Not only does It allow you to take photos that could
only previously be taken from an aircraft or even hot air balloon but drones can
get much closer to their subject. This is obviously a great advantage if taking
photos of dangerous wildlife on safari. For the moment, drone-based aerial
photography is especially popular for weddings. It's a bit of one-upmanship for
the bride and groom really. I think most people are bored with the usual cliche
settings of a ehurcti with a countryside backdrop.

Well, so far I've talked about all the positive aspects of UAVs. But we shouldn't
forget that there have also been some problems experienced by those using
this technology. Many of the problems have arisen because of a handful of
hobbyists who are giving the industry a bad name. The issue mainly Is with
cheap drones flown by people without licences. Because in the UK, unlike the
US, a driver's licence is officially required to fly a UAV. When someone flies a
drone outside a Q39 controlled area, like a park, you're heading for
trouble. Only recently an accident caused by a drone made headlines.
A photographer was injured In TGI Fridays when a stunt using a
drone spectacularly backfired. That might be bad enough but an even more
serious incident occurred recently when a drone had a near-miss with an Airbus
A320 as it began its descent into Heathrow airport. However, that said, with
Q40 stricter regulations in place, Britain could soon see E-commerce delivery
systems 24 hours a day and may become a leading centre for imagery shot by

drones. It certainly is a burgeoning Industry where, If you pardon the pun, the
sky's the limit!
