IELTS Listening Practice Part 3

This IELTS listening practice part 3 will help you prepare for the test. It is based on the format for the real IELTS listening tests.

Sometimes in part 3 you have to listen to more than two people speak. In this sample test there are three people speaking - a university professor and two students.

The focus of this listening test is on Matching Exercises. This is when you are given a number of statements and you have to match them to something else.
