Substitution principle—
In the IELTS listening test, substitution is a principle often used by the questioner, and it should appear many times in each set of questions. This kind of keywords and keyword groups that appear in the stem of the question will not appear directly in the original text, but will be replaced by synonyms or synonyms. The most common substitutions are:
1. Substitution of agreed words, such as substitution between scientists and researchers, substitution between disadvantages and disadvantages, and substitution of deixis.
2. Substitution of synonym groups, such as: Miss specially replaces the main scenic spot.
3. Active and passive substitution: coffee growing suppliers work for 30 million people, replacing 30 million people who make a living by growing coffee.
4. Addition and subtraction replacement: The original text of a question is ER. About three quarters of the bottles made in most places are new glass, and the rest are recycled.
The title of this question is that most bottle manufacturers use about 30% recycled glass. Total amount 1 minus 3/4 to get 1/4, and then convert it into percentage to get the answer. The correct answer is 25%.
Candidates should be vigilant when they encounter keyword substitution in the original text of the topic, and the correct answer to the topic will appear immediately. Don't just wait for the original text to appear in the original text.
According to this principle, if the examinee is waiting for the relevant information of a topic, then the replacement of the next topic has already appeared, and the examinee should pay attention to that he may have missed a topic.

The principle of normal distribution—
In mathematics, there is a concept called normal distribution, which means that in scientific tests or investigations, the number of individuals who are always in the middle is the largest, while the number of individuals at both ends is less.
For example, among the candidates who take the IELTS test, the number of people who take the test of 5 and 6 is the largest, while the number of people who take the test of 0, 1, 8 and 9 is very small.
This is a very useful principle, and we can analyze, predict and guess the problem according to the principle of "more in the middle and less on both sides", which is very effective.
This method can be further extended to the average appearance of several selected answers. The following is only an analysis of three difficult topics of 1995 embassy sample topic.
Question 18 to 20 is a difficult question. Candidates must first judge whether the information in the topic is correct, and if it is correct, tick it; If it is not correct, you should fill in the blanks with the correct answer. According to the law of normal distribution, there are bound to be cross-checked questions in the correct answers, so if the candidates can only ask one question, they may wish to tick the remaining two blanks; If the candidate can't do a single question, he might as well check all three blanks. The answer is 18, and check the answers to 20 questions. In this way, candidates can answer at least two-thirds of the questions correctly.
From 2 1 to 24 questions, candidates will find that I, R, or E should be filled in the horizontal line of coffee type, and both I and E have already appeared in this horizontal line, so if candidates do not do 2 1 and 24 questions, they can guess R correctly, and the correct answer is R.25 Candidates are required to fill in 1, 2 or 3 points. According to the principle of normal distribution, candidates can guess 2 points for the questions they have not heard, and fill in 2 points for the five correct answers.

Meeting site-
At the discussion site, the opening remarks are often introduced by the chairman or organizer of the meeting, and then the specific content of the meeting is introduced. Besides, we should also introduce how long the meeting will last. Here is a test center that is often tested-the first scene.
For example, how many meetings have been held in a given year? A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5
This is our third annual retailer conference. Because this is the third meeting this year, it has been held twice before, and the answer is A.
How many times did the scene not only appear many times in the meeting scene, but also how many years did you study in this college? One year; This is my second year on campus. So this person has been studying at school for one year, and the answer is A.
Another common test site is the venue. The answer to this question is usually the capital of the country where the meeting is held.
For example, where will the conference be held? A Brisbane b Melbourne c Canberra d Sydney According to the technique, we can do the topic according to Canberra, the capital of Australia, without listening to the article. The answer is C.
In addition, everyone attending the meeting will inevitably go to various places of interest in the capital for sightseeing, so there will be problems such as how to take a bus. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to examine the dictation ability of candidates to listen to numbers and place names.
