IELTS Listening Map Labelling Questions

Listening Strategies

Step 1: Check if it’s a fill-in map (numbered blanks in the map) or a matching map (letters in the map).

Step 2: Look for any information on the map that will help you to find your way.

Step 3: Keep an eye on the list of labels — they will be listed in the order you will hear them in the recording.

Step 4: Use the features on the map to help you to find your way.

How To Recognise

The questions include a map or plan.
The map contains some information, along with numbered blanks or letters.
The instructions say ‘Label the map’ or ‘Complete the map.’
If the map contains letters, then there will be a numbered list of labels.

Improve Your Score

Directions can be difficult if you are looking at a map of an area you don’t know. Because of this, it is important to look carefully at all of the information on the map: Does it include main roads or landmarks such as important buildings, stations or parks?
These can be very useful when you are following the directions given in the listening.
