IELTS listening multiple choice pictures is when you need to choose the correct answer from a selection of pictures. It is one of the most difficult types of listening questions in your IELTS listening test. This particular listening lesson below is similar to the type of question you might get in Section 4 – the most difficult section in the IELTS listening test. However, picture multiple choice questions can come in any section of the listening test.
The listening practice below is mainly aimed at students who are band score 7 and above. For students under band score 7, you can use this listening exercise to improve your vocabulary and listening technique.
Prepare both question and picture options before listening and choosing the answer. Answers are available below the audio.
Question 1
1. Which type of mammoth is this lecture going to focus on?
Choose the correct letter, A-C.

Hello Liz,
I want you to add a timer, for reading questions, in the audio. This would help us a lot.
Thank you.
Hello Liz, Thank you so much for taking the time to give multiple tips on your blog. All of them were immensely helpful! You’ve been a wonderful teacher and have my deepest gratitude. I have a doubt regarding the listening test. I gave my Ielts test this morning, and there was a 5 question section in the listening exam where the speaker conversation did not coincide with the questions in a chronological order. As a result, I think I’ve missed hearing a question or 2. Does this generally happen in a listening test? Or should I bring this to someones attention in the exam centre that the numbering was probably amiss?
The problem is that without the transcript and questions, you cannot be 100% sure. IELTS don’t release the transcripts or questions or answers. Certainly, if you wish to talk to your test centre or contact IELTS official about this, you can. Maybe they could check for you and let you know if that was actually the case or not.
– B
Finally i’ve got right answer :))
Thank you so much Liz.
I came to conclusion that ‘B’ because the mammoth in answer choice B has curving tusk and colossal size ?
The answer is given on the page above.
Hi Liz, i can’t hear this audio =( NOT AVAILABLE
do you have other link with the audio?
thanks.
This might be due to your internet connection. These audios are streamed from soundcloud.

Hi Liz,
I appreciate your work and thank you for helping me to prepare this exam. The only part I can’t do well is multiple choice in Listening, especially the one which has long question and answer sentences. By the time I read the sentences recording begins and get lost while I am trying to read and listen at the same time. What can you offer to me?
Thanks in advance.
This means you need to do two things:
1. Build your speed reading. This is a skill that you need to practise and develop.
2. Learn to spot keywords. This is also a skill to practise and develop.

Hi, Liz!
Thanks for your exercise! My answer is B.
Since I haven’t taken any actual IELTS test yet, I have a small question about the Listening section. Is its speed the same as the audio in this exercise ?
Thank you!

excellent recording – what device do you use..?
Just a hand-held recording device – it’s really useful 🙂
very good – my recorder picks up cars honking, dogs barking, planes flying overhead…the works – as i am trying to record guided meditation clips for my clients.
I hold the recording device directly over my nose – this means it is very near my mouth but avoids picking up breathing. You also need to be in a very quiet room, windows closed and also without echo – a room that has wallpaper and carpet is useful as it dims the echo.
Hopefully, my answer is right.
