1
Part 2 You will hear a short talk given to a group of retired people about a club called Connect.
2
First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
3
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
4
Hello, I've been asked to talk to you today about Connect.
5
Connect is a club for people who have retired from full -time work.
6
The first Connect club began back in 1960 in Brisbane, Australia.
7
Today, I'll concentrate on Frankston Connect, the club where I'm a member.
8
It services the communities around the suburb of Frankston here in Melbourne.
9
Okay, so what are our club aims? we're not a fitness club
10
or anything like that some connect branches do charity work
11
but that's not for us our objective is to provide social contact with others who have similar interests
12
and ideas now meetings we have monthly club meetings where the
13
usual club business is discussed for example at the last meeting we talked about how much money was spent
14
that month also at that meeting someone had just returned from an overseas trip and he spoke about that.
15
Then we looked at entries for our photography competition.
16
The winner will be announced soon.
17
Up until now we've used the school hall for our meetings
18
but that's about to be renovated so we needed to find an alternative.
19
It's been a great venue because of its size and it's
20
so easy to get to but I'm sure historical Frankston Hall will suit us just fine.
21
Our social committee plans and organizes club trips from time to time, and they're always looking for suggestions from members for new places to go to.
22
If you join, you should check the activities list that's posted on our website each month and attend anything that interests you.
23
Come and make friends.
24
We're just one big happy family.
25
So, how do you join and what about membership fees?
26
It's simple.
27
Just fill in the form and give it to me before you leave this morning.
28
There are a few payment options.
29
Some members prefer to make an annual payment, which is a slightly cheaper option, or you can pay monthly.
30
Why don't you get a group together?
31
It makes the activities more fun.
32
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
33
If you still haven't decided whether to join or not, let me try to tempt you with some of our upcoming events.
34
Our Moonlight Wildlife Walk was previously available to members' immediate families as well,
35
but this wonderful activity has become so popular that it's now limited to just members.
36
Although it's free, we do ask our members to pay something to the Wildlife Fund so it can continue its good work.
37
Everyone makes their way to the wildlife park independently, arriving at dusk, where a guide walks with the group and tells us about all the animals we encounter.
38
OK, theatre in the park.
39
We see a different play every month.
40
The park's on the train line and easy to access, so we don't organise buses or anything.
41
Come along and recline on a blanket on the grass, although some members prefer to take along their own seat.
42
No need to make a reservation, there's plenty of space.
43
After the play, we all walk to a local cafe where you can purchase coffee and cake.
44
It's a really fun night out.
45
Birdwatching is a regular activity and it's organised by the keen birdwatchers in the club.
46
This activity consists mainly of early morning and late afternoon walking trips to spot the birds when they're most active.
47
Birdwatching attracts only small numbers, so one of our ardent birdwatchers drives members in the club van to the best spots.
48
The City Botanical Gardens Walk is a popular activity that occurs a couple of times a year.
49
Members make their own way there and usually meet up outside the gates at 8 .45am, setting off for the hour's walk with the volunteer guide by 9am.
50
Many members bring a friend or relative and this is fine.
51
Now, the State Library.
52
Our visits here in the past have always been great because there's something for everyone.
53
You can easily spend a whole day in there.
54
There's a lovely restaurant
55
and you can take food into the small cinema there where
56
we'll be watching a short film about the history of our local area.
57
So, what else can I tell you?
58
That is the end of Part 2.
59
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Part 2.
60
Thank you.
61
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.

Was du mit diesem Clip üben kannst: Sprechziele

Dieser Videoausschnitt eignet sich perfekt, um deinen Redefluss in Alltagsgesprächen zu verbessern. Die Gesprächsführung über einen Seniorenclub ist nah an realen Szenarien und hilft dir, komplexere Informationen (wie Aktivitäten, Preise oder Termine) klar und flüssig wiederzugeben. Ideal fürs Shadowing – probiere es aus, um die natürliche Rhythmik von Englisch zu internalisieren!

Phrasenbank: Wiederverwendbare Ausdrücke

  • "services the communities around" – beschreibt, welche Regionen ein Verein bedient
  • "our objective is to provide social contact" – klare Formulierung von Zielen
  • "up until now we've used" – weist auf eine vergangene Situation hin, die sich ändert
  • "limited to just members" – beschränkt die Teilnahme auf eine Gruppe
  • "make their way to... independently" – erklärt, dass jeder selbst ans Ziel gelangt

Schwächen beheben: Aussprache und Rhythmus

Der Clip hilft, Englische Aussprache zu verbessern, insbesondere bei Wörtern mit schwachen Vokalen wie "community" oder "volunteer". Achte auf die Betonung in längeren Sätzen – z. B. in "the winner will be announced soon" – um die natürliche Flussigkeit zu lernen. Nutze das Shadowing - Verfahren: Höre einen Satz zu, wiederhole ihn sofort nach, und versuche, Tonhöhe und Pausen zu kopieren. Ein guter shadowing site kann dir hierbei helfen, aber auch einfach das Video mehrmals wiederholen tut Wunder. Mit shadowspeak oder shadow speak trainierst du nicht nur die Aussprache, sondern auch das Zuhören und Reagieren – ein unverzichtbarer Schritt für flüssiges Englisch!

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.
