Shadowing-Übung: Cambridge IELTS 18 Test 2 Section 1 - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Lektion wird erstellt...
1
Test 2 This is the IELTS Listening Test.
2
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
3
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
4
All the recordings will be played once only.
5
The test is in four parts.
6
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
7
Now turn to part one.
8
Part one.
9
You will hear a woman from a job agency giving information to a man about work in a chain of restaurants.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
11
Now listen carefully and answer questions one to five.
12
So I understand you're interested in restaurant work.
13
Yes, I've got a bit of experience and I can provide references.
14
That's good.
15
I can check all that later.
16
Now, Milo's restaurants have some vacancies at the moment.
17
They're a really good company to work for.
18
Lots of benefits.
19
All right.
20
Yes.
21
They've got a very good reputation for looking after staff.
22
For example, all employees get training, even temporary staff.
23
Oh, really?
24
That's quite unusual, isn't it?
25
Certainly is.
26
And do staff get free uniforms too?
27
Um, you just need to wear a white T-shirt and black trousers, it says here.
28
So, I guess not.
29
But another benefit of working for a big company like this is
30
that you can get a discount at any of their restaurants.
31
Even at weekends?
32
No, but you'll be working then anyway.
33
Oh yes, I suppose so.
34
Most of their restaurants are in the city centre, aren't they?
35
So easy to get to by bus?
36
Yes, that's right.
37
But if you have to do a late shift and finish work after midnight, the company will pay for you to get a taxi home.
38
I probably won't need one.
39
I think I'd use my bike.
40
OK.
41
Now, they do have some quite specific requirements for the kind of person they're looking for.
42
Milo's is a young, dynamic company, and they're really keen on creating a strong team.
43
It's really important that you can fit in and get on well with everyone.
44
Yeah, I've got no problem with that.
45
It sounds good, actually.
46
The last place I worked for was quite demanding, too.
47
We had to make sure we gave a really high level of service.
48
That's good to hear, because that will be equally important at Milo's.
49
I know they want people who have an eye for detail.
50
That's fine.
51
I'm very used to working in that kind of environment.
52
Perfect.
53
So the only other thing that's required is good communication skills, so you'll need to have a certificate in English.
54
Sure.
55
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
56
Thank you.
57
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
58
OK, let's have a look at the current job vacancies at Milo's.
59
The first one is in Wivenhoe Street.
60
Sorry, where?
61
Wivenhoe.
62
W-I-V-E-N-H-O-E.
63
It's quite central, just off Cork Street.
64
Oh, right.
65
They're looking for a breakfast supervisor.
66
That would be OK.
67
So you're probably familiar with the kind of responsibilities involved.
68
Obviously checking that all the portions are correct, etc. And then things like checking all the procedures for cleaning the equipment are being followed.
69
OK.
70
And what about the salary?
71
In my last job I was getting £9.50 per hour.
72
I was hoping to get a bit more than that.
73
Well, to begin with, you'd be getting £9.75, but that goes up to £11.25 after three months.
74
That's not too bad.
75
And I suppose it's a very early start.
76
That's the only unattractive thing about this job.
77
But then you have the afternoons and evenings free.
78
So the restaurant starts serving breakfast from 7am, and you'd have to be there at 5.30 to set everything up.
79
But you'd be finished at 12.30.
80
Hmm.
81
Well, as you say, there are advantages to that.
82
Now, you might also be interested in the job at the City Road branch.
83
That's for a junior chef, so again, a position of responsibility.
84
I might prefer that, actually.
85
Right.
86
Well, obviously this role would involve supporting the sous chef and other senior staff,
87
and you'd be responsible for making sure there's enough stock each week and sorting out all the deliveries.
88
I've never done that before, but I imagine it's fairly straightforward once you get the hang of it.
89
Yes, and you'd be working alongside more experienced staff to begin with, so I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.
90
The salary's slightly higher here.
91
It's an annual salary of £23,000.
92
Right.
93
I know that if they like you, it's likely you'll be promoted quite quickly, so that's worth thinking about.
94
Yes, it does sound interesting.
95
What are the hours like?
96
The usual, I think.
97
There's a lot of evening and weekend work, but they're closed on Mondays.
98
But you do get one Sunday off every four weeks, so would you like me to send off your CV?
99
That is the end of part one.
100
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
101
Thank you.
102
Thank you.
103
Thank you.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
