This recording is played directly from section 1 so you consider yourself that you start the test from the beginning, the computer generated voice to wait for the time limit is not here, however this question is being separated into two parts, first part is from question number 1 to question number 4, and the other part is from question number 5 to 10. So please do the reasoning carefully and fill the answers in the sheet.
IELTS is an famous exam required for studying abroad, living there, or getting job. Here below, the original Cambridge 9 Listening Test 1 Audio Samples are shared so that you can easily you through the answers without wasting your single second, here I directly added the audio from the first question so you can start immediately and stop at the exact second where all questions are asked, stop itself.
I hope you will find it useful, and Please do share if you are a Dreamer. IELTS is your way, I, Avinash Modi, belongs to Hindi Medium (please do remeber the one quotations my trainer told me, “today is never to be late to brand new” so start afresh and believe on yourself from the moment you think to start.)
