Enhance your IELTS Listening exam strategy with this quiz focused on interpreting maps and diagrams. Practice identifying locations, directions, and following instructions commonly found in IELTS Listening Part 2, designed to strengthen your spatial and analytical skills.
If the speaker says, 'Turn left at the entrance and the library is directly opposite the cafeteria,' which building would you find facing the cafeteria on a standard campus map?
Explanation: The correct answer is Library because the speaker explicitly mentions that it is directly opposite the cafeteria. Laboratory and Security Office do not match the directions given in the scenario. 'Librery' is a misspelling and is therefore an incorrect option. Understanding exact spellings and locations based on directions is crucial for IELTS Listening map tasks.
During the audio, the guide mentions, 'The playground is northeast of the car park and next to the tennis courts.' Which area should you mark on your map?
Explanation: Playground is correct because the scenario directly states it is northeast of the car park and adjacent to the tennis courts. While the tennis court is mentioned, it is not the answer, as it serves only as a reference point for the playground. The parking lot and cafeteria do not fit the directional clues provided. Always focus on the directions and relationships described.
In a listening diagram, if a part is labeled 'control panal' but the speaker says, 'Use the control panel to start the machine,' what is the correct spelling to write down?
Explanation: Control Panel is the correct spelling according to standard English. Although 'control panal,' 'control penal,' and 'control pannel' look similar, they contain misspellings or incorrect terms. For IELTS Listening, accurate spelling is essential, especially when the speaker uses a word that appears incorrectly on a diagram.
The audio says, 'To reach the registration desk from the main entrance, walk past the gift shop, and it is the first counter on your right.' What should you select as your final destination?
Explanation: Registration Desk is the end point described in the verbal directions. The main entrance and gift shop are reference points along the way, not the final location. Restrooms are not mentioned in the scenario, making them an unsuitable choice. Listening carefully to instructions helps pinpoint the exact destination.
A speaker instructs, 'Exit the elevator, turn right and continue straight. The conference room is just before the last door on the left.' Where should you look on the floor plan?
Explanation: Conference Room is correct because the speaker specifically indicates it is just before the last door on the left after exiting the elevator and turning right. Main Hall and Elevator are locations passed or used as starting points, not the endpoint. Storage Closet is another plausible room but does not fit the instructions given. Analyzing these steps improves accuracy with map-based questions.
