IELTS Listening Practice: Catch a Corrected Time, Date or Place
When a speaker changes a detail, keep listening for the final arrangement. Do not treat the first time, date or location you recognise as the answer. Listen for the change in this practice dialogue Ask a partner to read: “We originally planned to meet at ten in Room 4. Room 4 is still available, but the tutor is running late, so let’s start at eleven instead.” The final time is eleven; the room stays the same. Note which detail changed and which did not. Review the clue, not just the number If you wrote ten, replay the sentence and listen for the contrast and the revised plan. Try a new example where the place changes but the time stays fixed. Do not automatically replace every earlier detail when you hear a correction. Frequently asked question Should I wait until the whole recording ends before writing? No. In this drill, jot the first detail lightly and update it as soon as you hear a clear correction. The point is to keep listening after you recognise a possible answer.
