Sentence Completion Questions

 

Sentence completion questions in the IELTS Listening exam are a type of question where you will be given a sentence with one or more missing words. You will need to listen to the recording and fill in the missing words based on the information that you hear.

Sentence completion questions can be about a variety of topics, such as everyday life, work, or education. The missing words can be nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs.

Here are some tips for answering sentence completion questions:

  • Read the sentence carefully before you listen to the recording. This will give you an idea of what the missing words are likely to be.
  • Listen for key words and phrases in the recording. These words and phrases will help you to identify the missing words.
  • Fill in the missing words as soon as you hear them. This will help you to keep track of the information in the recording.
  • Don’t be afraid to guess. If you’re not sure what a word is, try to guess based on the context of the sentence.

Here is an example of a sentence completion question:

The man was wearing a ______ coat.

The missing word could be any of the following:

  • thick
  • heavy
  • warm
  • long

To answer this question, you would need to listen to the recording and identify the word that best describes the coat that the man is wearing.

If you are unsure of the answer, you could try to guess based on the context of the sentence. For example, if the man is wearing a coat in the winter, you could guess that the coat is thick or warm.

Sentence completion questions can be challenging, but with practice, you can learn to answer them correctly.
