1
Test 2.
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 ten 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 a clerk at the information desk of a transport agency
10
and a man asking for travel information.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
12
You will see that there is an example which has been done for you.
13
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
14
Morning.
15
Thanks for calling Metro Link.
16
Is there anything I can do for you?
17
Good morning.
18
I would like to go to Harbour City tomorrow before 11am, from Bayswater.
19
Well, for Bayswater?
20
Oh, no, no, from Bayswater, where I am currently living.
21
But Harbour City is my destination.
22
Sorry, that means Bayswater to Harbour City.
23
Which mode of transport do you prefer, by bus or train?
24
The destination is Harbour City.
25
So, Harbour City has been written in the space.
26
Now we shall begin.
27
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
28
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
29
Morning.
30
Thanks for calling Metro Link.
31
Is there anything I can do for you?
32
Good morning.
33
I would like to go to Harbour City tomorrow before 11am, er, from Bayswater.
34
Well, for Bayswater?
35
Oh, no, no. From Bayswater, where I am currently living.
36
But Harbour City is my destination.
37
Sorry.
38
That means Bayswater to Harbour City.
39
Which mode of transport do you prefer?
40
By bus or train?
41
In fact, I have no preference.
42
Only if it brought me to Harbour faster.
43
Well, if you take an express train, you'll be right in Harbour within an hour from departure.
44
Let's see.
45
Yes, I recommend you to get on the 9 .30 a .m.
46
express.
47
Sounds perfect.
48
So, at which station should I get on the train?
49
Hellandale is the nearest station to you.
50
Henlandsvale, did you say that?
51
No, Hellandale.
52
That's H -E -L -E -N -D -A -L -E.
53
Then how can I get there fastest?
54
Um, let me see.
55
Please wait a minute.
56
I need to have a look.
57
It says you probably have two options for the routes.
58
The first one is the Snow 6 bus from Bayswater Shopping Centre to Central Street.
59
There will be another bus that can take you to the train station.
60
Or, if you don't mind walking directly to Central Street, like a couple of kilometres, then you can take the bus there, bringing you to the train station.
61
Sure, but which bus is that than in Central Street?
62
The 702 will take...
63
Oh, sorry, it's the 782 that will take you to the station.
64
I believe walking will be fine, so option two might seem better to me.
65
When should I arrive at Central Street to catch the bus?
66
There are two buses that you can catch and get to the station on time.
67
One's before nine o 'clock, one right after.
68
Yet in the morning it might be better to take the earlier one, just in case of a traffic jam or something like that.
69
I'd like to say the 8 .55 one is more reassuring than the 9 .05 one.
70
Sure, I don't want to miss the train, so the 5 to 9 one will be better.
71
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
72
You Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
73
One more thing.
74
How much would the fares cost?
75
Well, the boss is $1 .80 in cash, and the train is $10 each way.
76
But do you have a travel link card?
77
No, but I may get one before tomorrow.
78
All right.
79
If you have the card, you can pay considerably less.
80
Yes, the bus will cost you $1 .50, and the train to harbour...
81
Sorry, wait, it will still cost you $10 because it is during rush hour in the morning, I'm afraid.
82
Yet, if you could return at an off -peak time...
83
What do you mean by that?
84
All right, if you could begin your returning journey before five in the afternoon, or later than 7 .45, a quarter to eight, in the evening.
85
In fact, my plan is that I won't start to go back home until 8 o 'clock anyway.
86
Then you can save a lot of cash using your Travel Link card.
87
You did mention that you were planning to buy one, didn't you?
88
Yes, today, maybe later.
89
I'll pick one up.
90
It means with cash it would cost you $10, but if with your card you will only pay $7 .15 for returning.
91
Thank you.
92
Is there anything else I can help you with?
93
Uh, yes.
94
In fact, I would like to know if the Travel Link card supports ferry services.
95
If the ferry services is Harbour City ferries that connect the northern and southern banks, then yes.
96
They are commuter ferries.
97
A one -way trip costs $4 .50, but with the Travel Link card you will enjoy a 20 % discount, and the cost will be $3 .55.
98
So, $3 .55 for it.
99
What about the tour boats?
100
You mean those ferries going upriver on sightseeing tours for tourists?
101
No, they do not belong to the Travel Link Company, and they only take cash and credit cards.
102
Oh, I see.
103
So, I may believe that you might not know how much they cost for one tour?
104
Actually, I do know.
105
I took a friend to the trip upriver just last week.
106
We decided to go on an afternoon tour, and it cost us $35 each.
107
There is also a whole -day option costing $65.
108
Thank you.
109
You really helped me a lot. With pleasure.
110
Enjoy your trip.
111
That is the end of Section 1.
112
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
113
Now, turn to Section 2.
114
Section 2.
115
You will hear a radio anchor on broadcast speaking to her audience about water conservation
116
and some contributions they can make at home.
117
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
118
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
119
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
120
Thank you for returning to Action Radio.
121
We are here talking about current affairs and global issues.
122
I am Jill, and today our focus will be on discussing the very concerning issue of the significance of water conservation
123
and how you can make your own contribution at home.
124
The most universal wasted energy of all the domestic kinds is heat.
125
Yet since my house has well -insulated walls, I'm lucky enough not to need to do anything about this problem.
126
Yet, I still found out that a large amount of water was wasted, owing to my way of life.
127
I looked into a few approaches online, trying to reduce my water usage as much as possible,
128
and have been pleasantly surprised to figure out that there are experts in
129
that field who can make some instant changes to my home.
130
But the only dark side is this work is so costly that there are no means for me to get financial help.
131
Now, if any of you listeners are interested in reducing your energy usage, here are a couple of easy and positive changes you can make immediately.
132
A lot of the magazines will recommend that you change your bulbs for those with energy -saving capabilities.
133
However, I have found that these make little difference to your electricity bill, and they also severely reduce the light levels in your home.
134
Instead, simply switch off all plug sockets and appliances to make an immediate saving on your electricity consumption.
135
If this doesn't make enough of a saving for you, you could later turn down the thermostat as well.
136
Even though my energy provider gave me a discount on my bills for prompt payments, this doesn't make enough of a saving for my monthly bill,
137
considering the amount of energy that I was using.
138
So, I felt like switching to another provider.
139
Not only could I make a considerable monthly saving, but also get other perks from the new company.
140
The bills can now be paid online, for instance, which was a thrill to me, because it saves me from driving to the bank.
141
If our contract endures more than one year, they will also provide me with a deduction for all energy -saving appliances I am currently using.
142
Now, many of you listeners will have an electricity meter at home, so I'm very sure that all of you will know the problems associated with them.
143
These meters can occupy a lot of room in your home, and can be very unsightly if you cannot tuck them away in a cupboard.
144
Mine is very large, and it measures both gas and electricity usage.
145
But it is nicely hidden in the coat cupboard, and I'm lucky enough to escape from accessing it easily.
146
But the cons about this is that, whenever I need to take a meter reading, I'll have to use a torch because it is hidden in darkness,
147
and without a flashlight, I can't read the numbers on the screen correctly.
148
I recently extended my house with a new room that gives us a bathroom with a low -energy boiler, so I'm able to take long showers guilty -free.
149
My walls are nice and thick and well insulated, but disappointingly, the window is a little drafty,
150
thus I'm about to make some investments by doing some upgrading.
151
Given renewable energy, I initially thought about installing solar panels on the roof to heat the water, rather than applying a new low -energy boiler,
152
which was the price -friendly alternative.
153
But I finally determined that the panels would make my house ugly on the exterior, in spite of their ease of technical use.
154
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
155
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
156
Now, if you are keen on taking long showers, as I am, switching from baths to showers doesn't change much on your total water usage.
157
Instead, some small effective changes can be quite helpful and efficient.
158
When making a cup of tea, for instance, before boiling water, measure out the amount that you need during the procedure.
159
Also, when brushing teeth, use a cup of water instead of leaving the tap water running.
160
I would recommend you not to fill up the washing machine before switching it on, because I found out that the clothes were not thoroughly cleaned.
161
Also, call a plumber to fix your dripping taps.
162
This will give rise to a great reduction of water being wasted.
163
Before finishing today's show, I'd like to address two questions that we often get asked by listeners.
164
We had some great feedback about our answer to last week's
165
question on how to calculate the price involved in powering domestic appliances.
166
So, let's see how we do this week.
167
One of the most commonly asked questions this week was, which device is the lowest energy option for watching films?
168
The simplest answer is that the smaller the screen, the lower the energy used.
169
One of our listeners wrote in with a question that made me chuckle, and the answer is, yes, solar panels only work when the sun is out.
170
Now, on a more serious note, a number of you wanted to know what the most efficient temperature is to set the thermostat to.
171
The answer is that the closer you set it to room temperature, the lower the energy used.
172
Before saying goodbye today, I'll give you one last tip.
173
Turn off all the lights when you leave the room.
174
That is the end of Section 2.
175
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
176
Thank you.
177
Turn to Section 3.
178
Section 3.
179
You will hear two students, called Tim and Jenny, discussing their geography assessment they are going to take next week.
180
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
181
Now listen carefully, and answer questions 21 to 25.
182
Morning, Jenny.
183
Hi, Tim.
184
How's everything going on?
185
Not bad, but I'm really nervous about our geography assessment next week.
186
Have you done any work on it yet?
187
I've just gone over some of the slides where there are a few difficult terms, but I think it would be helpful if I could discuss it together with someone else.
188
Would you like to talk about it with me?
189
That sounds great.
190
Have you got any information about the requirements for the assessment?
191
For our test last semester, all of us tried our best to collect raw data to meet the requirements, so as to achieve a pass.
192
But according to what the tutor has said, this term there won't be any need for us to do so.
193
I read through the notes, and they said that we are all going to be given a set of instructions
194
that we can choose to follow if we wish, but it's not mandatory, and we can complete the exam as we wish.
195
I don't think that it will be hard for us to pass the assessment.
196
As long as we don't copy the answers from anyone else's exam paper, I think we'll be sure to pass.
197
Definitely, I agree.
198
Should we put on a slideshow presentation with the information on all kinds of volcanoes?
199
I think it will really help us to revise the recognition.
200
OK, great.
201
First, let's look at Pompeii, which is regarded as the most famous one among all the volcanoes.
202
Therefore, we might find it much easier to find a large amount of information about it on the net.
203
I think we should exclude some of the pictures in the presentation, since many people were killed, and some of them can be quite disturbing.
204
It is so lucky that there is going to be a double free break today, so we will have a bit of time to modify this together.
205
Well, the next one to mention is Mount Faygo.
206
This is an ancient, mythical volcano whose site is still ambiguous.
207
In Mexico, as well as the USA, there are mountainous regions, both of which are rumoured to be the location of this volcano.
208
It's not that reasonable to list two unrelated locations for one volcano, but since no one has been capable of figuring out which is the correct one,
209
we have no choice.
210
It's amazing that we cannot find any other example of a volcano in existence today that is haunted by so much mystery.
211
Definitely yes.
212
I suggest we'd better search online for some information about Mount Etna in Sicily, which is well known for the stunning panoramas that one can appreciate from its peak.
213
According to Google, it's a relatively new volcano compared to the others in the nearby region.
214
That's the reason why it has very few of the features found in older volcanoes.
215
Oh, interesting.
216
Might we present any information on Mount Hurton?
217
Because I don't think that any of the other students have carried out much of a survey into it, even though it has several unique traits.
218
Well, then I think we can just ignore it, since it's a man -made volcano and not that closely linked to our spas, and probably won't be tested in the exam questions.
219
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
220
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
221
Have you got feedback from your tutor on your presentation last week?
222
Yes, but I don't think he was satisfied with the work.
223
He was impressed by the amount of research that I'd carried out before I started,
224
but he criticized me that I was just mostly writing a summary of the facts instead of giving my own opinion.
225
Oh, that's a pity.
226
It was depressing that my work is not appreciated, but in the end I learned a lot from my tutor's feedback.
227
He suggested to me that next time I should present my work as a short documentary film, which he thinks will help me to strengthen my arguments.
228
What topic was your presentation based on?
229
I opted to discuss about the lack of knowledge that most people have about volcanoes, and the awareness that they look at them in such a negative way.
230
During documentaries and lectures, the scientific experts often neglect to mention the positive features that volcanoes possess.
231
That sounds really interesting.
232
Well done.
233
I think everyone had a really good time, but I was really nervous about speaking in front of the audience.
234
Also, I felt very underprepared, since I didn't complete the presentation until the night before, and therefore there had been no time for rehearsal.
235
I'm sure it was great.
236
Is there any other information that you think we should include in our slideshow for revision?
237
Yes, I think it's important that we list all of the differences between active and extinct volcanoes, as there will definitely be a question on this topic.
238
There are no documentaries on the subject, but there's a very informative website that discusses the geological structure of each volcano type.
239
OK.
240
Well, I'll continue collecting images, and you can carry on with the online research.
241
That is the end of Section 3.
242
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
243
Now, turn to Section 4.
244
Section 4.
245
You will hear part of a lecture in a zoology course talking about New Zealand birds and their protection.
246
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
247
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
248
Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.
249
In this session, we're going to talk about birds indigenous to New Zealand, delving into the facts and analysing methods of protecting these species from extinction.
250
It may be a surprise to you to know that there are thousands of bird species that are endemic to New Zealand.
251
In other words, they are rarely found anywhere else throughout the world.
252
Because quite a large number of these birds make a living on a diet of freshly caught fish, they often nest alongside the coastline or follow the neighboring river,
253
if necessary, to track freshwater fish.
254
Once they have mated, the female will collect twigs
255
and pieces of debris to build nests where she can hatch her eggs under safe circumstances, out of the reach of predators.
256
When the first immigrants landed on New Zealand roughly seven centuries ago, Rats were carried on the ships with them.
257
The rats flourished in the warm climate and gradually became a threat to the native bird populations, particularly to the flightless species.
258
In 1984, researchers discovered that just three pairs of flightless bird species remained in existence and that even these faced severe pressure.
259
Now, New Zealand is a global pioneer in facilitating the recovery of severely endangered species from the brink of extinction.
260
Every year, researchers conduct certain surveys aimed at monitoring the fluctuation in the levels of bird numbers
261
and species living in New Zealand.
262
Owing to migration patterns of a few bird species, it is far from easy to accurately estimate the bird numbers,
263
since many may have flown to other regions in search of mates and warmer climates, and thus may not be included in the investigation.
264
Probably, there is a sensitive link between bird numbers and environmental influences.
265
especially those closely linked to human activities.
266
Routine activities such as farming or building houses can have a massive impact on the local populations.
267
Forests
268
that play a role of a habitat for thousands of birds can be entirely eradicated to produce fields for cropping
269
or to provide wood for construction, which has a catastrophic impact.
270
It is not only the activities of humans that threaten the living conditions of bird species, but the population of many predatory animal species has dramatically risen in New Zealand.
271
One of these predators is the Mantani snake, which was introduced from Australia and has decimated the population of Kildear birds.
272
These birds nest on the ground and often return to find their eggs have been devoured by the egg -eating snakes.
273
One cannot dismiss, of course, the disadvantages that nature itself imposes on the survival of many bird species.
274
Natural disasters such as storms can be devastating, tearing apart forests and leaving thousands of destroyed nests in their wake.
275
Monsoons flood the rivers and often drown many of the flightless bird species that are unable to escape.
276
Unfortunately, illegal hunting, which is the greatest threat to bird species in New Zealand, is nearly impossible to prohibit.
277
Several bird species, which are going to be extinct, now appear on display at the National Zoo,
278
and there is such a cruel need that urgent policies are adopted to protect them.
279
The zoo recently employed an expert in bird protection who strongly suggested
280
that a guard should be employed to protect their birds from poachers.
281
The expert also lays much stress on the fact
282
that the birds can be haunted by quite a stressed situation where the public can approach them too closely,
283
suggesting that the administration install a fence network to keep the public a safe distance away from the birds.
284
In spite of this threat to birds in captivity, it is the freely roaming birds that are most at risk.
285
Many efforts are being made to educate the public in terms
286
of how they can contribute towards protecting birds living in the wild.
287
Finally, research has indicated
288
that one of the most feasible measures of keeping the public
289
notified about the significance of protecting the bird population is through the media.
290
I advise you all to read the related articles in specialist journals, and also do some research on the Internet.
291
Everyone can make your own contribution if you put your mind to it.
292
That is the end of Section 4.
293
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
294
That is the end of the listening test.
295
In the IELTS test, you will now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.

Für wen ist dieses Video geeignet?
Dieses Video ist ideal für Lerner, die sich auf den IELTS-Listening-Test vorbereiten oder ihre Fähigkeit, englische Gespräche zu verstehen und zu replizieren, verbessern wollen. Es eignet sich besonders für Fortgeschrittene, die an realistischen Szenarien üben möchten – wie z. B. die Planung einer Reise – und gleichzeitig ihre Englisch sprechen üben wollen. Auch für diejenigen, die mit der Methode des shadowspeak (Nachsprechens) arbeiten, um ihre Fluenz zu steigern, bietet es wertvolle Materialien, da die Dialoge lebendig und nah an der Alltagssprache sind.
Wörter und Redewendungen, die man unbedingt lernen sollte
- Express train: Ein Schnellzug, der weniger Haltestellen hat. Beispiel: "Der 9.30-Uhr-Express bringt dich in einer Stunde an."
- Destination: Das Reiseziel. Im Dialog: "Harbour City ist meine Destination."
- Nearest station: Die nächstgelegene Station. Wichtig für Reiseplanung: "Hellandale ist die nearest station zu dir."
- No preference: Keine Vorliebe. Nutzen, um auszudrücken, dass man zwischen Optionen indifferent ist: "Ich habe no preference – was schneller ist."
Diese Wörter tauchen oft in Alltagsgesprächen und Tests auf, daher lohnt es sich, sie zu beherrschen.
Wie man den Akzent richtig einnimmt
Um die Aussprache in diesem Video zu verbessern, konzentriere dich auf zwei Dinge: Intonation und Redewgeschwindigkeit. Der Sprecher nutzt eine natürliche, flüssige Sprache, ohne übermäßige Betonung. Übe, die Frage- und Satzmelodien nachzuahmen – z. B. die leichte Steigerung bei "Did you say that?". Nutze die Methode des shadow speak: Höre einen Satz kurz an, stoppe die Aufnahme und spreche ihn sofort nach, so nah wie möglich an der Originalaussprache. Achte besonders auf Wörter wie "Harbour" (mit einem weichen "r" am Ende) und "Bayswater" (Betonung auf der ersten Silbe). Diese Übung hilft nicht nur, die Englische Aussprache zu verbessern, sondern auch, die Reaktionszeit zu verkürzen – ein entscheidender Faktor für den IELTS-Test.
Mit regelmäßigem Üben dieser Szenen wirst du schnell merken, dass dein Verständnis und deine Sprechfähigkeit zunehmen – und das nicht nur für Tests, sondern auch für echte Kommunikation.
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Bedingungssätze if + Satz, will/would + Verb – eine Bedingung und ihre Folge | if you take an express train, you'll be · if with your card you will only |
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | has been done · has been written · have been |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | will be played · will be given · has been done |

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.
