About this Listening test

“Induction Talk for New Food Bank Volunteers” is an original IELTS Listening practice test in the style of Part 2 with 10 questions (Matching Features, Multiple Choice and Note Completion). Play the recording, answer as you listen, then submit to have every answer marked instantly and read the transcript.

Part 2 is a monologue in an everyday social context — a guided tour, a welcome talk, an announcement about local facilities. You answer 10 questions, commonly multiple choice, matching, and map or plan labelling, by following one speaker’s organised description.

How to approach it

In the preparation pause, read the questions and mark the key difference between multiple-choice options, so you listen for meaning rather than matching words.
For a map task, orient yourself before the audio starts: find the entrance or starting point, the compass if there is one, and every label already printed.
Common trap: Map disorientation: "on your left" is the speaker’s left along the route being described, not the left of the page.
