Test 3.
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 sections.
6
At the end of the test, you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
7
Now turn to section 1.
8
Section 1.
9
You will hear a conversation between two students talking about driving lessons.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
11
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
12
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
13
I don't have to miss any classes at college.
14
The woman wants to take driving lessons during the weekends, so weekends has been written in the space.
15
Now we shall begin.
16
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
17
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
18
Hi, Zach.
19
I heard you passed your driving test.
20
Congratulations!
21
Thanks, Olivia.
22
I passed just last week.
23
It feels great to be independent and driving on my own.
24
I really want to take driving lessons, but I haven't been able to find a driving school that will give lessons during the weekends,
25
so that I don't have to miss any classes at college.
26
The driving school that I used was brilliant and really flexible with their teaching hours.
27
It's really close to the school.
28
The address is 67 Kings Road.
29
That's 67 King's Road.
30
Oh, that's perfect.
31
I don't like the idea of driving around busy streets.
32
Did your teacher make you drive in urban areas or did he mainly teach you on roads in the countryside?
33
My teacher said that I had to learn on both in order to become a good and experienced driver.
34
We would start in the city centre and then drive north above the city.
35
He sounds like a good teacher.
36
Would you mind giving me his contact details so I can ask him for lessons? Of course.
37
My mother's friend Daniel Smith referred me to him.
38
His name is Alan Sutcliffe.
39
Could you spell the surname please?
40
S-U-T-C-L-I-F-F-E Thanks for helping me out.
41
I'll give him a call tomorrow.
42
I don't know if I should learn in a manual or automatic car.
43
How do I decide?
44
I wasn't sure which type of car to learn in either.
45
In the end, I chose to learn in a manual car, because once you've learnt how to drive manually, you can drive automatic as well.
46
Most cars on the road are automatic nowadays.
47
OK.
48
I think I'll learn with a manual car too then.
49
Hopefully the teacher will be able to give me lessons in the evenings after school.
50
It would be much better if you take the lessons during the day.
51
It will be far easier for you to learn when there is enough daylight to clearly see everything going on around you.
52
But you need to be an experienced driver to drive safely at night.
53
How frustrating!
54
I was hoping I wouldn't have to take lessons during the weekends.
55
You're right though, safety comes first.
56
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
57
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
58
Speaking of safety, you should wait until summer to start learning.
59
It's really difficult and dangerous to drive in the wind and rain as a learner, so you should definitely wait until the weather is sunny and dry.
60
OK, that's perfect, actually.
61
It will give me some time to save up some money to pay for the lessons.
62
Tell me about it.
63
I had to work for months before I had enough money saved up.
64
It was worth all the work when I finally got my driving licence, though.
65
The whole process is so expensive.
66
How much did it cost you in the end?
67
Well, each half-hour lesson cost $30 and then the final test cost $50.
68
In total, it cost me about $300.
69
Gosh, it's pretty expensive.
70
How did you find the test?
71
Was it really difficult?
72
No, it wasn't too bad and the man was really calm and friendly.
73
I knew that I would have to perform two parking manoeuvres during the test, so I practised them a lot beforehand and that really helped.
74
The test used to last 40 minutes, but it changed a bit.
75
For the first 20 minutes of the test,
76
he gave me directions and I had to just drive around and then the last 10 minutes was for demonstrating the manoeuvres.
77
So the test is 30 minutes in total.
78
OK, great.
79
I'll remember that.
80
Do you have any more advice?
81
It's really good to practice driving a lot outside of driving lessons as well.
82
Whenever my parents were running errands on the weekends, I would offer to drive them.
83
My driving teacher also told me to buy a notebook to write down everything that I've learnt in it, like a diary.
84
Ha ha!
85
That sounds boring, but I'll do it if it helps.
86
I found it really useful.
87
Before my test, I read through everything I had written down
88
and it reminded me of a lot of things that I had forgotten about.
89
It's really helpful for the theory test as well because there's so much information to remember for it.
90
That's great, Zach.
91
Thanks for your help.
92
No problem.
93
See you at school.
94
Bye.
95
That is the end of section 1.
96
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
97
Now turn to section 2.
98
Section 2.
99
You will hear part of a talk about Mount Rushmore given by a tour guide.
100
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
101
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
102
Good morning everybody and welcome to Mount Rushmore.
103
To start your visit, I'm just going to give you a brief account of the
104
history of the memorial before letting you roam about on your own.
105
I won't keep you long, OK?
106
Mount Rushmore is South Dakota's top tourist attraction and features the heads of four United States presidents.
107
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
108
Each head is 18 metres tall, which is taller than the heights of 11 people combined.
109
The sculptor initially wanted to depict the presidents from head to waist, but due to a lack of funding,
110
the construction had to stop before this vision could be realised.
111
In total, it cost the government $1 million to sculpt the heads at Mount Rushmore.
112
Before the construction of the President's heads, the mountain was just bare rock and forest, attracting only a few hikers a year.
113
The new carving at Mount Rushmore has become an iconic symbol of presidential greatness
114
and has appeared in works of fiction and other popular works.
115
The sculpture has also worked perfectly as a way to develop tourism, which was its intended purpose,
116
and now attracts over two million people a year.
117
The original plan was to carve the president's faces into the granite pillars known as the needles.
118
However, the sculptor soon realised that these rocks were too eroded and delicate to support such a large sculpture.
119
Instead, he chose to locate the carving at Mount Rushmore
120
due to its grand appearance and brightly lit rock faces
121
that experience maximum exposure to sunlight throughout the day as a result of the southeast orientation.
122
Upon seeing Mount Rushmore, the sculptor declared, America will march along that skyline.
123
The name of Mount Rushmore also has an interesting history.
124
The location was originally known as the Six Grandfathers.
125
However, during an expedition in 1885, the mountain was renamed after Charles E.
126
Rushmore, a prominent New York lawyer who joked that his annual treks to the mountain
127
had earned him the right to have it named after him.
128
Forty years after the mountain was renamed, Charles E.
129
Rushmore donated $5,000 towards the sculpting of the president's heads, the largest single contribution.
130
In 1927, the construction work started and seven years later was complete with no fatalities.
131
So that's the history for you.
132
If you'd like any more information, please feel free to ask me questions or you can soak up the information from our fantastic guidebook.
133
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
134
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
135
Now I'm going to give you a plan of the site
136
and I'd just like to point out where everything is so that you can explore everything for yourself.
137
We're currently standing at the entrance which is marked with the arrow on the map.
138
If you follow the trail up to our left you will find the information centre.
139
There's a great photo booth there where you can have your photograph taken with Mount Rushmore in the background
140
for a fee of only $10.
141
What a great souvenir.
142
In front of us is the refreshment centre, where you can help yourselves to coffee,
143
locally grown tea, and a delicious selection of cold drinks and biscuits.
144
Be sure to stay hydrated, as it can get really hot up here.
145
To our right, not far up the trail, is the gift shop.
146
Here we sell copies of the guidebook, and it's also the perfect place to pick up some small souvenirs for yourself, your family and friends.
147
Now, further up the trail, behind the gift shop, is a big stone building with a workshop.
148
This is where all of our souvenirs are made by hand, which you can purchase in the gift shop, like I said before.
149
Some are even carved from pieces of rock taken from Mount Rushmore itself.
150
If you carry on walking up the trail, past the workshop, you'll find our state-of-the-art visitor centre,
151
where you can find maps of the walking trails here at Mount Rushmore.
152
Now for the real treat.
153
After you have walked past the visitor centre, you can follow the trail up to the left, which will take you to our wooden shelter.
154
From here, you will have the best view of Mount Rushmore that there is, an experience not be forgotten.
155
Right, if anyone wants a guided tour, then I'm starting at the information centre.
156
If you'd like to follow me, this way please.
157
That is the end of section 2.
158
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
159
Now turn to section 3.
160
Section 3.
161
You will hear a conversation between a professor and a student talking about taking a course.
162
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
163
Thank you.
164
and answer questions 21 to 25.
165
Excuse me, Dr Twain.
166
May I speak with you for a minute? Of course.
167
Please come in.
168
I'm Charlotte York.
169
I'm considering taking your course in tourism.
170
Right.
171
Well, Charlotte, how can I help you?
172
I have been considering studying tourism.
173
However, it is such an important decision that I would like to seek some advice about it first.
174
Would you mind answering some of my questions?
175
Absolutely.
176
Fire away.
177
Well, I have been discussing courses with my parents
178
and they are concerned that I will not be able to get a well-paid job with a degree in tourism.
179
The reason that I want to study the course is
180
that I have a great interest in the subject and I think I would really enjoy it.
181
I believe the only way that I will enjoy my life is if I enjoy my career.
182
Happiness is far more important than money, don't you think?
183
Absolutely.
184
I would much rather be happy and poor rather than rich and miserable.
185
Money cannot buy you happiness.
186
I'm glad you agree.
187
You needn't worry about money, Charlotte.
188
A large part of the tourism course is dedicated to teaching students how to manage finances, a skill that you can apply to your everyday life as well.
189
I would also recommend that you take a sideline course in time management, as this can be incredibly useful in efficiently planning your workload.
190
Efficiency is the key to success.
191
I'll remember that.
192
Now, I have found that some students have natural talents that really help them to succeed in the course.
193
Communication skills, for example, can be very beneficial.
194
Do you have any strengths?
195
Maths was always my favourite subject at school, so I really enjoy solving mathematical problems.
196
However, I find statistics quite difficult.
197
I have always been very capable and self-sufficient.
198
I have a lot of confidence in my abilities
199
and will take the initiative in situations without needing to depend on anyone else for their help.
200
That's a really great quality to have and will be particularly useful if you choose to study tourism.
201
That's great!
202
I would recommend that you spend some of your time researching the course.
203
A lot of people who are uneducated on the subject claim
204
that tourism is a shrinking industry and that it will become irrelevant in the future.
205
If you study the published research, however, you will see that the truth is quite the opposite.
206
The industry has, in fact, grown significantly as people have developed an ever-increasing interest in culture and travel.
207
Have you compared the university course with a polytechnic?
208
Yes, I have.
209
I was interested in studying the course in modules.
210
However, the university doesn't offer that option.
211
I don't have enough funds to be able to attend an expensive university, so I was relieved to see that the course is quite affordable.
212
I also considered attending a summer school instead of university to save money, and so that I could work during the rest of the year.
213
But I really wanted the university experience.
214
I think that university would suit you well.
215
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
216
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
217
Now, what about the courses?
218
Are you interested in any of the other subjects on offer?
219
I have looked at a few.
220
I was interested in travel and business as it sounds similar to tourism.
221
That is really worth learning.
222
However, be aware that it is difficult and will demand a lot of your time.
223
OK, that's good to know.
224
You might find that Japanese is an interesting course and it will teach you valuable skills in speaking the language.
225
Personally, it's not bad and could be of some help, but not that much.
226
OK, Japanese.
227
Got that.
228
What about medical care?
229
Well, if you have time, the course will teach you a lot about curing diseases and illnesses or dealing with injuries outside, although it's not essential.
230
So, OK, if it's useful, I'll take it.
231
If you enjoy using technology and are worried about fulfilling the entry requirements, computing is very relaxed about the skills that applicants must possess.
232
I'm terrible with computers, so I'm not sure that I would enjoy that course.
233
How about public relations?
234
Yes, I would recommend that course.
235
It would be related to entering the tourism industry, as it will educate you on how to approach clients and develop associations with them.
236
That's great.
237
Thank you so much for your help.
238
That is the end of section three.
239
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
240
Now turn to section 4.
241
Section 4.
242
You will hear a talk about the practice of company outsourcing.
243
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
244
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
245
Welcome class to your very first lecture in this series on business in the modern world, conducted by myself, Dr Toby Bennett.
246
Today, we will be looking into the practice of company outsourcing, using TCP technologies as a case study.
247
Now, for those of you who are unfamiliar with this practice, I will give you a summative definition.
248
Company outsourcing involves the contracting of various business activities by one company to another.
249
This practice will sometimes occur from a Western company to a party based in a third world country,
250
the rationale being to make significant financial savings on lower international labour rates and to potentially increase quality.
251
Now, our case study for today is TCP Technologies,
252
a party located in India that receives outsourced tasks from Western companies.
253
The manager of TCP Technologies is a man called Manjeet Khanna,
254
who has personally developed a series of aims and philosophies by which the company is expected to operate.
255
He claims
256
that the most important of these philosophies is to create a
257
workplace where each individual member has the opportunity to contribute their opinion to the operations of the company.
258
That is to say that he found it important to develop a democratic environment.
259
As a means of ensuring quality from every individual at TCP Technologies,
260
a grading system has been developed that encourages an ethos of hard work and recognises accomplishment.
261
This grading of individuals is based upon a series of factors such as turnover, hours worked and efficiency.
262
Every month, Kana publishes the grades on an internal website where staff can access not only their own grades, but also compare it to others.
263
A spirit of playful competitiveness has developed through this method, which has resulted in increased efficiency and turnover across the company.
264
Kana also saw it as essential to develop a culturally diverse
265
group of employees as a means of presenting a multifaceted image
266
that would appeal to a host of potential employees from across the globe.
267
This cultural openness has not only increased the quantity of incoming contracted opportunities by 7%,
268
but has also benefited the company itself significantly.
269
A level of transparency now exists that had not before been apparent.
270
According to questionnaires carried out recently, These newly introduced measures have significantly increased the rate of staff satisfaction,
271
which has subsequently led to an increase of 32% in the company's income.
272
These figures are truly admirable and serve as a testament to the measures
273
that Karner has introduced to the workplace at TCP Technologies.
274
In a recent interview published by The Economist, he declared, The figures speak for themselves.
275
My system works.
276
When asked if he had any advice for companies on methods they could employ to streamline workflow and increase turnover,
277
he replied, It's simple, really.
278
A company must see itself not as one entity comprised of nameless components, but instead as a living organism composed of cells,
279
each one essential to the functioning of the whole.
280
I suggest that the motto by which your management operates will be Employee First.
281
Many benefits have been reaped from the aforementioned changes in management style such as a significant decrease in staff turnover.
282
This improvement alone has solved many problems that had before stunted the growth of the company.
283
A lot of these improvements came from the realisation that the solution does not have to be produced internally, but can come from any other company.
284
The grading system also immeasurably enhanced the dynamics of the company.
285
the fact that this measuring system is solely produced for staff members and inaccessible by management
286
means that it cannot be used as a judging criterion for promotion.
287
It has proven itself a relaxed and informal means of stimulating workflow.
288
When asked about specific features of his managing style,
289
Karner mentioned that it is important for him to respond personally to any complaints filed by staff members
290
Having found the existing complaints process slow and ineffective,
291
he introduced a new online system that created a direct line of communication between Kanna and all employees of the company.
292
The complaint form, dubbed by Kanna as a ticket,
293
eradicates the middleman, is easily accessible to all employees online and has an interface that can be instinctively navigated.
294
Any staff-related complaint, such as those relating to air conditioning and food quality, can be submitted directly to CANA via this online system.
295
Entitlement to vacation is also a popular issue discussed through this forum.
296
The main benefit of using this system is
297
that staff must include their personal details on the ticket before they are able to submit it.
298
In the past, anonymous complaints had been the root of much confusion and caused many wasted work hours,
299
so the new system has put a ban on this form of complaint.
300
That wraps up the lecture for today.
301
Please remember that attendance is mandatory.
302
That is the end of section 4.
303
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
304
That is the end of the listening test.
305
In the IELTS test, you will now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
306
Thank you.
307
Thank you.

- Die „th“-Laute: mathematical /ˌmæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪ.kəl/, booth /buθ/, southeast /sawˈθɪjst/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: workshop /ˈwɝk.ʃɑp/, gosh /ɡɑːʃ/, expedition /ɛkspəˈdɪʃən/, orientation /ˌɔː.ɹi.ənˈteɪ.ʃən/, beneficial /ˌbɛn.ɪˈfɪʃ.əl/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: internally /ɪnˈtɜːnəli/, transparency /tɹænsˈpæɹənsi/, irrelevant /ɪˈɹɛləvənt/, expedition /ɛkspəˈdɪʃən/, mathematical /ˌmæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪ.kəl/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): workflow /ˈwɝkfloʊ/, workplace /ˈwɝkˌpleɪs/, workshop /ˈwɝk.ʃɑp/, waist /weɪst/, quantity /ˈkwɑn(t)ɪti/
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: compose /kəmˈpəʊz/, comprise /kəmˈpɹaɪz/, dub /dʌb/, relieve /ɹɪˈliːv/, yourselves /jəˈsɛlvz/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: applicant /ˈæp.lə.kɪnt/, granite /ˈɡɹæn.ɪt/, transparency /tɹænsˈpæɹənsi/, mathematical /ˌmæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪ.kəl/, enhance /ɪnˈhæns/
So übst du mit diesem Video

- Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie turnover, outsourcing, sculptor.
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.
