1
Now open your question paper and look at part 1.
2
You'll hear people talking in 8 different situations.
3
For questions 1 to 8, choose the best answer A, B or C.
4
1. You hear a restaurant manager talking about the cooks who work for him.
5
What does he say about them?
6
A. They dislike cleaning tasks B.
7
They have a choice of jobs C.
8
They help to decide the menu As restaurant manager,
9
I feel responsible for the quality of the food we serve, so it's up to me to check the ingredients
10
that have been delivered overnight to make sure they are of sufficient quality and to produce a menu for the day.
11
The cooks arrive at about 10 a.m to prepare lunch, and I'll take them through the menu.
12
Because lunch is concentrated over a short period of time, it can get very busy and very hot.
13
But unlike some kitchens, we tend to divide the jobs up according to who likes doing what, and that includes cleaning pots and pans and clearing the place before dinner.

20
What does she particularly like about the book?
21
A. It's educational.
22
B. It's well-organized.
23
C. It's enjoyable.
24
It's a factual book, a chronicle of the 20th century, and it's wonderful.
25
I mean, it's terribly bitty, and it's not going to give you a lot of information, nor be good for schoolwork.
26
That's what's really nice about it.
27
Here is a reference book which it is fun to dip in and out of.
28
It's hardly going to help anyone write an essay, and it avoids being geared to any school syllabus, unlike so much of what is published today.
29
But for anyone who likes little details, you know, you can look up your date of birth, for example, and see what else happened then.
30
It's a very good book.

44
Are next week's episodes as exciting?
45
Well, I can't give away the whole story, but I don't think you'll be disappointed.
46
I can tell you that Stephen's mother is forced to tell her husband the secret she's been hiding for years, which leads to more fireworks and a few tears,
47
and Jason refuses to accept Mariella's decision, so you're going to hear a lot more from him, and look out for some surprises there.

We get people to the taxis, that's the first priority, and to the trains.

We make sure they get on early and get comfortable seats.
60
These days, many passengers have a lot of luggage and they want assistance with it, so we provide a much-needed service.
61
We even take people down to the underground or to places in the surrounding streets.
62
But the majority of users are airline passengers with a lot of bags and perhaps accompanied by elderly relatives, young children and so on.
63
Obviously, they can't manage everything on their own.

78
because exercise is more interesting with music
79
but I've since moved on to line dancing It's less energetic but I go three times a week
80
I run my own business, work hard, and it's just a way to cut off rather than watch television.
81
It's also a challenge keeping up with the new steps.
82
I think young people sometimes take exercise too far, get over-concerned with how they look, when they'll never be able to keep it up at that sort of pace.
83
Whereas line dancing struck me as something I could sustain as part of my normal life.

I wish now I'd tried this place sooner.
100
I mean, I've been walking past it for years.
101
Why didn't you?
102
Well, to be honest, I never thought I'd be able to afford it.
103
But it's actually quite reasonable.

Mind you, I think they could have tried a bit harder with the presentation.
105
I think if food looks good on the plate, you automatically expect it to taste good.

124
as long as I have the necessary tools, you know, pencil and paper and, of course, my keyboard.
125
Once I'm started, I go over things again and again.
126
Must be very dull if anyone's listening.
127
I change a few notes here and there, but basically I tend to stick with an idea once I have it.
128
I guess home's the best place in a way, because there I'm relaxed enough to let my imagination flow, and that's what you need to do in order to produce a good piece.

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.
