As we know,the "listening bible" is a quite hot topic here in the forum.Many people regard it as a powerful weapon to overcome the IELTS listening test.Others think that you have to be very carful to it's misleading.I didn't know about it very much before.So I downloaded a 2005.11 edition last night and dipped into it to get a overlook of it.In my point of view,I agree with the second opinion,that is,you mustn't count too much on it,or you will be likely misleaded!!!

Every thing is changing.I noticed that those who think the "listening bible" is a powerful weapon are those who have already passed  the IELTS exam several year ago.Say,19xx----2002.But nowadays,in fact,things have changed a lot!Along with the time passed year by year,the bible is becoming longer and longer.From a simple stuff,to a complex one,finally come into a terrible mess!!!

By the way,never count on those mp3s recorded in the examing room.they are too noisy and will give you more faint than help!Those do need to be discarded right away.
