Exam tip: 
In this type of short-answ er question you w ill have to w rite one-, two- or 
three-word answers. If more than one word is required, think carefully about the 
gram m ar of your answer because it w ill need to be correct. You should think about the 
common gram m atical combinations of words which w ill be tested, such as adjective + 
noun (e.g. 
s o la r energy],
noun + noun (e.g. 
p o w e r statio n ]
verb + adverb (e.g. 
decrease
d ra m a tica lly]
or verb + object (e.g.

Exam information: Summary completion |2)
As you saw in Unit 4, in the IELTS Listening exam, you may have to complete a 
summary. Sometimes you have to choose the answers from a list of options in a box. 
There w ill be more options than you need.
Exam tip: 
In sum m ary-com pletion tasks where you are given answer options, it is a 
good idea to identify which words are gram m atically possible answers. That way, when 
you listen, you are choosing between a sm aller num ber of options.
