Part 1.

You will hear a customer asking a travel agent for information about some trips.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, Atlanta Travel Agency.

May I help you?

I saw your advert in the newspaper this morning

and decided to come over for more detailed information about some trips that you currently offer.

What kind of trips do you have in mind?

Well, I enjoy surfing very much and want to get tanned,

but all my friends suggest either mountain climbing or biking.

We currently offer all the three types.

Even though biking is the most popular type of holiday,

it doesn't work for everyone.

I think you should follow your heart.

Right.

What are my options for accommodation then?

For this type of holiday,

you can choose to stay in a hotel or a self-catering apartment.

Can you introduce the hotel package first?

Sure.

Price for our hotel package is quite reasonable compared with that of your own reservation.

What does the price include?

It covers the beachside hotel and free breakfast.

Good.

Does the hotel have any recreational facilities?

Oh, rest assured, the hotel is fully equipped with a pool,

a nightclub and a gym.

Guests can enjoy a vibrant nightlife during their stay at the hotel.

Five-star ratings are common for the hotel's satisfying service.

So how much does it cost?

Well, it was originally €360 for an adult,

but we are now offering a Labor Day promotion.

You can get a discount of 12.5%.

So that's €315 for now.

A really good deal.

Right.

What about the self-catering apartment?

Oh, that'll be even cheaper.

But you have to stay in a shared room with other guests.

Each room has six bunk beds with lockers.

OK.

I think the hotel is much better.

Getting a good night's sleep is critical for a relaxing holiday.

I can't stand sharing a room with someone who snores all night long.

Can't agree more.

What about the surfing equipment rental?

I don't want to bring my own surfboard.

You can hire a surfboard by the hour, day or week.

Just book it in advance and it will be delivered to the hotel or even directly to the beach.

How much does it cost?

It costs 15 euros for a day,

but for a week's rental it's just 75 euros.

The surf station also provides surf lessons if you're interested.

That's good to know.

Oh, there's one more thing you should know.

Just in case of an accident during your trip,

we recommend each customer to have the correct travel cover in place before leaving home.

Please, tell me about it.

Well, we mainly offer two types of insurance.

The first one is basic coverage.

It costs 30 euros.

What does it include?

It covers medical treatment during your trip and things like missing your flight,

flight delays and cancellations.

But, you know, extreme sports can be quite dangerous and therefore injuries during these activities are excluded.

Then how about the other one?

The second one is called Premier Cover.

It is more expensive at €42.50,

but we highly recommend this one for regular surfers.

If you receive an injury or hurt anyone else while participating in extreme sports like surfing,

you are fully covered.

I see.

I think I'll go with the Premier Cover.

When your flight gets in,

there will be a minivan to pick you up at the airport and take you to the hotel,

but you'll have to get to London Airport yourself.

It's alright, I'll just take the airport shuttle.

Actually, I personally suggest you take a taxi.

It's much cheaper than other types of transport, including the airport shuttle.

Thanks for the tip.

I think I'll book a trip for next weekend.

Okay, how would you like to pay?

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes, we do, but there will be a slight charge on that.

If you pay by cheque, there's no extra fee.

Great, I'll write you a cheque then.

Part 2.

You will hear a member of staff called Mary Linden giving some information about their community centre.

On behalf of our community centre,

I'd like to welcome you all here today.

My name is Mary Linden.

As you can see here,

this multi-purpose hall is a great venue for various events,

including banquets, seminars or dances.

The centre provides services for all ages.

As the majority of you have already signed up for our dance workshops,

I'll introduce relevant information first before we start the tour and get ourselves oriented.

Okay, now when participants check in for their first dancing session,

they will be given a class list printed with available seasonal classes,

100

ranging from Zumba to Ballet,

101

as well as detailed descriptions and schedules.

102

The dance studio will also give you a complimentary shoe bag to store your dance shoes.

103

Every week will be a surprise in cardio movement.

104

Our fitness professional will guide you through an upbeat, heart-pumping, lively dance class.

105

Therefore, it is highly advised to bring a face towel and a water bottle with you.

106

As things get mixed up easily,

107

you might also want to attach a name tag to your belongings.

108

It will be sent to you by mail in advance.

109

Now, let us get a closer look at our dance workshops and its curriculum.

110

There is a list of activities to participate during and after each session.

111

You'll have the chance to make your own costume,

112

but it won't be held until tomorrow.

113

You can also practice dance with music whenever the studio is available.

114

In the first afternoon

115

and evening of your dance class there will be an introduction

116

to the development of dance for the past few decades then

117

we'll warm up with an informal dance i know you don't have much experience in dancing

118

but we'll get there soon rest assured there won't be a dance test until the end of the course

119

okay now a word about the layout of the center our beautiful facility has 25 rooms all together

120

which are both very functional and aesthetically pleasing

121

We're standing here right at the entrance To your left you

122

can see two rooms in a row After each dance session you're probably soaking in sweat

123

and in desperate need of a shower Just go straight ahead,

124

turn left and the shower room is on your left hand side

125

If you just want to take a nap there is a

126

six bed bunk room It's immediately to the left of where you are standing right before the shower room.

127

We also have a games room with dartboards,

128

table tennis, pool and card games.

129

It is a good place to have fun with friends.

130

Just take the first right.

131

It is the second area to your right.

132

You can explore it well later during our tour.

133

Further ahead in the corner there are the bike racks.

134

You can either park your bike here or hire one if you want a ride.

135

The first hour is free.

136

Part of our dance sessions will take place in the music room.

137

It has a large mirror with various musical instruments and state-of-the-art stereos.

138

If you want to get there,

139

just go straight, take the second right,

140

and it's the second area to your left.

141

Our friendly reception team is an invaluable resource for any visitor to the centre.

142

If your mobile phone needs charging,

143

we have several adapters and can easily get your phone back up and running again.

144

We also offer a range of chargeable services,

145

including photocopy, scanning and faxing.

146

The reception is located in the centre to the south of the music room.

147

There is a medical centre providing a full spectrum of care and treatment,

148

especially for sports injuries like a sprained knee.

149

It's right opposite the reception to the left of the music room.

150

Now, I have to tell you about our gym,

151

where some of our dance sessions take place.

152

It is also equipped with the latest equipment,

153

including exercise bikes, treadmills, rowing machines,

154

etc. If you walk straight ahead before you come to the end and turn right,

155

it's the second room to your left.

156

And speaking of food, if you ever feel hungry,

157

you can either cook in the kitchen or grab a snack at the store.

158

To reach it, keep straight on until you get to the third passageway,

159

turn right, and it's the one after the gym

160

and the kitchen sits right next to the gym on the same side of the passageway.

161

It has all the utensils you'll need,

162

spatulas, frying pans, ladles and plates.

163

You name it, just feel free to use it.

164

By the way, if you have coats,

165

umbrellas or any large bags with you, the cloakroom is available.

166

It's the room in the top right corner on the far side.

167

Right, well, if you're ready,

168

we'll start the tour of our lovely community centre.

169

Part 3.

170

You will hear a student called Karen discussing her assignment with her course tutor.

171

Oh, Karen, hi.

172

Come in, take a seat.

173

I wanted to talk to you about this assignment you've handed in.

174

I'll give it back to you with detailed feedback,

175

but first there are a few things I'd like to run over,

176

you know, pointers for next time.

177

When you hand in your next assignment,

178

can you ensure that you've gone through these aspects?

179

Um, sure, will do.

180

Now, the first thing is your literature review.

181

It was not sufficient enough,

182

so I would like to see your book reports to get your complete view.

183

So can you submit those with your next assignment?

184

Then I can find out which parts you've chosen to leave out.

185

Oh yes, sorry, I didn't realise you needed them.

186

It did cross my mind that what I've handed in is a bit thin,

187

but then I started to work on another project and forgot to revise it.

188

That's alright, and I've found some errors,

189

just small ones where you had quoted people but not recorded the information properly at the end.

190

Don't forget to go through and make sure that your references are accurate.

191

They were very relevant though.

192

Just check and revise them using the format sample that I've emailed you beforehand, okay?

193

Yes, I'll remember to check them.

194

Now, you've made some good points,

195

but it might be helpful if you could include a few other examples,

196

just to drive your point home.

197

Don't start writing more paragraphs,

198

just slot them in at the end of what you've already written.

199

Now, the thing you have to do,

200

if you really want to get a better mark,

201

is expand the ideas you're presenting.

202

Then your argument becomes more valid.

203

Okay.

204

Hmm.

205

Can I talk to you about the presentation I've got to do?

206

Sure, of course.

207

When shall I stage what we've studied?

208

Am I doing it next term?

209

I can't remember what we said.

210

Well, the thing is, Marco couldn't do it,

211

so you agreed to do it at the next seminar.

212

So how can I help?

213

Actually, I'm wondering what you suggest to be the key part of the presentation.

214

I mean, which part should I spend most of my time on?

215

That's a question to the point.

216

Well, you have very little time really,

217

so it's absolutely essential for you to explain the experiment.

218

Of course, you'll have a summary in the handouts you give out,

219

but you can still start the presentation with that.

220

It's optional though.

221

And do I have to give you the abstract first,

222

or shall I just email it to all the students?

223

Err, no, I do need to see it first and see if it needs to be polished up,

224

and then we'll get some printouts done.

225

Now, they'll need to be done by the 3rd of December,

226

so I'll need to see it by the 26th of November, if that's okay.

227

Yes, fine.

228

Oh, and I need to talk to you about where the presentation is going to be made.

229

Given the actual number of participants and audience,

230

we've had problems with the rooms because we'll need something bigger than usual.

231

In our faculty, the only room available is the computer room,

232

which is far from suitable considering the layout of the room

233

so we'll have to go across the road and do it in the chemistry lab.

234

It's big enough to accommodate everyone and is equipped with the proper overhead projector in there as well.

235

Okay, right.

236

And I get a grade for this, don't I?

237

Yes, your first one was graded by your tutor,

238

but this one will be scored by the professor.

239

But relax, the criteria will be consistent and you'll get an unbiased result.

240

Oh, and I've sorted out my modules for next year.

241

You asked me to tell you about my choices.

242

Yes.

243

What have you decided?

244

Oh, it was really hard to determine.

245

Um, I've already done the data collection once,

246

so that wasn't really a choice.

247

I couldn't make up my mind between language and society and communication skills.

248

I read the syllabuses, but they sound more or less the same to me.

249

Anyway, I went for communication skills in the end,

250

because I know the lecturer.

251

Actually, social interaction seems to cover much the same ground,

252

so I didn't bother with that either.

253

Erm, I thought discourse analysis looked really interesting.

254

It studies and analyses the text beyond the literal meaning of the sentences.

255

It looks into the connotation beyond the sentences.

256

And in fact, it also covers a little bit of research methodology in it.

257

So, I thought I'd do that rather than the full methodology course.

258

Kill two birds with one stone, as it were.

259

And then, I fancied something drastically different.

260

So, I thought psycholinguistics would be interesting,

261

unless you think it'll be more worthwhile for me to do the phonology course.

262

No, I think you've made sensible choices.

263

I'm glad you're organised.

264

OK, let's meet again in a couple of weeks to see how you're getting on.

265

OK, thank you.

266

See you then.

267

Good afternoon.

268

This is the third session of the series of lectures on wildlife.

269

For this lecture, we're going to look at two studies on the habitats of birds and protection measures taken in Australia,

270

including the basic methodology and related areas of research.

271

Now, let me give you some background information about the first research project on birds.

272

The study was carried out by R.B.

273

Cunningham and his team from the Australian National University in 1995.

274

The primary goal was to detect the breeding habits and resting sites of some birds,

275

especially those protected species in urban regions.

276

These species included birds like peregrine falcons and kestrels in Australia.

277

The bird dataset consisted of a total of 153 species,

278

recorded from 946 sites.

279

One might expect that in order to obtain valid data on their distribution patterns and population densities,

280

researchers had to count through binoculars.

281

Instead, they managed to estimate with various standard distance sampling methods like random sampling.

282

In addition, a mapping system was used to study their companionship behaviour.

283

It recorded proposed birds' nesting sites to monitor the mating behaviour of targeted species.

284

To obtain valid data of birds' whereabouts,

285

researchers attached identity tags to birds' legs, transmitting radio signals.

286

The tagging process was done when the birds were between five and seven days of age.

287

After the initial tagging, data was collected from subsets of radio-tagged birds,

288

making it possible to assess the trends of birds over 15 months.

289

So, what did they find?

290

Well, as it turned out,

291

many of the birds tagged had the tendency to nest in the same habitat where they grew up.

292

Their nesting sites were quite varied and included freshwater reed beds,

293

tidal reed beds, agricultural crops, and man-made sites.

294

Even though naturally occurring nests were common,

295

birds sometimes accidentally nested in man-made devices like power towers, chimneys and tunnels.

296

This research also studied the impact of humans on bird communities

297

and found out that pollution had contributed greatly to the declining birth rates of some species,

298

which were considered to be extinct or threatened to vanish from the study area.

299

These species are dependent on natural forests because of their breeding holes.

300

They will become extinct when local natural forests continue to be polluted heavily.

301

A number of measures were thus taken by members from local animal conservation organizations to boost their alarming survival rates.

302

Firstly, breeding boxes were placed in trees taking on the role of breeding holes that were contaminated.

303

Protection guidelines were also introduced strictly prohibiting killing, disturbance and habitat destruction.

304

A further measure was taken to ensure the safety of birds from wind farms.

305

In fact, birds are sometimes shedded by wind turbine blades.

306

A great deal of work was done on how to prevent them from colliding with turbines.

307

A case in point was protecting space for bird migration by ensuring that migratory routes were kept free.

308

Falcons generally cope well with wind turbines,

309

but not in weather conditions where visibility is bad.

310

So, with knowledge of how fast falcons fly,

311

bird stations in northern Australia can notify wind farms further south of the falcons approach

312

so that turbines can be shut down as they pass by.

313

Then, another piece of research was done a couple of years later by Conway in 2006.

314

His team detected the calling frequency of seabirds flying at night.

315

Automatic signals are important communication tools for birds.

316

These signals can indicate social cohesion,

317

prey location and breeding behaviour.

318

Courtship songs are common among various species during mating seasons.

319

Males produce calling songs that attract distant females,

320

and then courtship songs will induce nearby females to respond.

321

Surveyors also took recordings of the sounds of all the individual birds detected.

322

A tablet PC was used to process detailed information like sound pitch,

323

spectrum, length and timing of surveys.

324

To minimize the disturbance on the bird community,

325

all the sounds were recorded from a distance using microphones to detect noise.

326

They found that the probability of call events was much higher for solitary birds communicating early and late in the day.

327

Further analyses indicated that during foraging,

328

the frequency of calls was significantly greater for birds encountering schooling fish,

329

and birds called sooner after a catch in these foraging scenarios,

330

compared with when only single fish were encountered.

331

The results of this study showed

332

that increased calling activity in the presence of more profitable prey could be of crucial importance to seabirds

333

that benefit from group foraging.

334

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.
