The table below shows 'keywords' from section 2 of listening test 3 in Cambridge IELTS book 5.
I think this table demonstrates that you need to be listening for 'similar words'. Also, I think the table shows how important it is to analyse the vocabulary in every practice test that you do. There are some great vocabulary items here: hold-up, the norm, demand exceeds supply, deal with, on your behalf.

Hi Simon,
There are about 9 books of the Cambridge IELTS. What are the general differences between those, say, difficulty level or something. I heard that the latest one is the closest to the exam and I should focus on it, is that true?
If not, which one is a good start since I haven't used any of them yet?
Thanks

Hi Masoon,
I always try to write 2 main paragraphs for writing task 2.
...
Hi helicha,
The numbers just show the edition i.e. book 1 was published first, and book 9 is the newest. I recommend the newer books, from 5 to 9.
