IELTS Listening: ‘Life on Other Planets’

Those of you who have met me know that I love talking about space exploration and science in general.

Fortunately, science is one of the main topics for IELTS listening lectures (along with history, geography, etc.)!

I watched this TED talk recently and found some great vocabulary in it for IELTS listening.

To make things more interesting, I’ve put some definitions/hints for good vocabulary in the first 2 minutes. Can you find them?

Vocabulary Hints (what’s the word?)

1. the opposite of simple
2. a group of living organisms
3. a room built to enable an audience to hear and watch performances
4. the food necessary for growth, health, and good condition
5. a task or job that is difficult to carry out
6. (of food) tender, juicy, and tasty.
