Hi Sunny,
I wrote the correct answers just above your answers. It doesn't matter if you're late - it's still good practice!

Hi Fatih,
That's a really good question. Unfortunately, IELTS listening is a very strict exam - "element" would be wrong because the sentence needs a plural (otherwise the sentence is not grammatically correct). Be very careful with singular and plural.

Hi Simon,
Would you like to post the transcript of the videos/ recordings? (If you got it). I practice your video not only by complete the questions, but also write all transcript I heard on the notebook. But I can't check how much wrong or right my listening is. And, should I do this - write all I heard ?
Thank you so much for your useful practice !
