Supplementary Feedback via Our Tool

Here’s an analysis of the student's IELTS Listening exam performance, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.

Strengths:

Weaknesses and Areas for Improvement:

  1. Difficulty with Specific Details (Names, Addresses, and Spelling): Mishearing or missing out on spelled-out words (e.g., W-I-V-E-N-H-O-E). Struggled with precise location details, which are essential for map-based and multiple-choice questions.
  2. Struggles with Synonyms and Paraphrasing: In Part 2, the student might have struggled when the speaker used different wording than expected (e.g., "steep slope" instead of "challenging terrain"). IELTS listening often paraphrases the questions, so missing out on synonymous phrases can lead to incorrect answers.
  3. Trouble with Fast-Paced Information (Numbers and Dates): In Part 1, the student had some difficulty with monetary values and time-related details (e.g., "9 pounds and 75 pence increasing to 11 pounds and 25 pence"). Dates like 1783 in Part 3 might have required repetition for full understanding.
  4. Difficulty with Map/Diagram Labelling (Part 2): Misinterpreting directional phrases such as "bordered to the south by the main road" and "adjacent to these houses" could have caused errors.
  5. Issues with Long Explanations (Listening for Key Information in Part 3): Part 3 included a discussion about scientific causes and effects. The student might have lost track of long sentences, affecting answer accuracy.
