Test takers will usually hear an audio clip and see a textual passage with blanks, before required to write a correct word down in each blank according to the audio clip. This type of question usually consists of 2 or 3 tasks.
Advice
The LFIB, one of the important question types in the Listening Section, deserves every effort to ensure the correct proportions.
In real tests, the gap between two intervals is usually very small, so shorten your word-filling time and keep up with the sound. Therefore, you don’t have to type the word completely after you hear it, as you can take your time to complete the word after the audio ends.
Note: Press the Tab key to quickly jump to the next empty cell.
Time Span
Despite the importance of the LFIB in terms of score in the Listening section, do not spend too much time on this section, 2 minutes maximum each.
