About this Listening test
“Welcome Talk at Riverside Country Park” is an original IELTS Listening practice test in the style of Part 2 with 7 questions (Matching Information and Multiple Choice). 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.
