Map labeling tasks are very similar to diagram labeling tasks. The only difference is that instead of a diagram there is going to be a map. Let’s see our first example of a map labeling task:
SECTION 2 Questions 11 – 20
Questions 11 – 15
Label the map below. Write the correct letter from A – G, next to questions 11 – 15.
| 11 The Mall ……………
12 Kid’s Fun Park …………… 13 Ice – Skating ………….. 14 Coffee House ………….. 15 Dolphin Show ………….. |
- You should follow the same strategy you would with a diagram labeling task
- There are going to be more options than you will need
- The recording will follow the order of the questions
- Search for landmarks in the map to be your reference guides
Here’s another example of a map labeling task:
SECTION 2 Questions 11 – 20
Questions 11 – 15
Look at the map plan below.
Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.
- Follow the same strategy you follow with diagram labeling tasks
- This task is similar to note-completion too, so you should also be careful of the word limit in the instructions.
In this video I examine diagram and map labelling tasks of the IELTS Listening. I also share with you some general tips that it would be good to follow during your preparation.
