Shelly is sick today, so we are planning a re-run of our most popular ever episode - how to nail IELTS Listening Part 3!

Many students find Part 3 of the IELTS listening test the most difficult. There are a number of reasons for this: there are more than two voices, the questions usually focus on the outcome of a discussion in which many views are offered, and you may also be asked to locate a person's feelings (and we all know that feelings are much harder to find than facts!)

You can find the full episode notes for this episode and a transcript of the conversation at https://blog.myieltsclassroom.com/ielts-listening-part-3/
