It's important to practise doing real IELTS listening tests (use the Cambridge books for this), but that isn't the only listening practice you can do. I advise my students to watch TV, films and online videos - anything that interests you is good for your ear!
If you find a good video on the Internet, please share it with other students. For example, Shafaq shared this link to a very clear speech by an author addressing students at a graduation ceremony. It's useful because you can listen and follow the transcript at the same time.
really amazing i enjoyed a lot.

Hello Simon
Just wanted to ask what you think about the Oxford books for IELTS. Are they as good?

FROM SIMON:
I no longer have time to answer everyone's questions individually. However, I do read them all, and I'll try to answer some of them in a lesson each Saturday.
PS. Thanks for sharing your video links!
