1
Thanks for agreeing to help me organize the library's annual fundraising dinner, Klaus.
2
We hope the event brings in enough money to expand our children's book section.
3
What task would you like me to start with?
4
Well, I could use some help sending out the invitations.
5
Okay, I can take care of that.
6
Is there a list of attendees available?
7
It's in my computer files.
8
I'll email it to you.
9
Questions 41 through 43 refer to the following conversation with three speakers.
10
Hey, Brian and Mateo.
11
I found some great pens to give away at the community festival to promote our business.
12
Great.
13
Can we put our cleaning service logo on them?
14
Yes, for no extra charge.
15
And they're biodegradable.
16
They're made from paper.
17
So when we hand them out, we can mention that.
18
as well as talk about the organic cleaning supplies our company uses.
19
Okay, I'll go ahead and order several cases.
20
Questions 44 through 46 refer to the following conversation.
21
Jamestown Recycling Facility.
22
How can I help you?
23
Hi, I'm preparing to move soon and I have some electronics, such as televisions and computers, that I'd like to get rid of before I put my house on the market.
24
My friend mentioned you might take them.
25
Yes, that's right.
26
We'll take all electronics.
27
Great.
28
I just have one question.
29
Do you provide a pickup service?
30
No. Unfortunately, you'll have to bring everything here yourself.
31
However, on our website, we list a number of companies that can remove and dispose of the items for you.
32
Questions 47 through 49 refer to the following conversation.
33
Zaina, what a surprise!
34
I haven't seen you since we took that class for business owners together last year.
35
How are you?
36
Zaina Zaina Great, thanks.
37
I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop in for a cookie or a piece of cake.
38
You have so many delicious baked goods here.
39
Zaina Zaina Thank you.
40
It's been a good year for business.
41
I'm even considering opening a second location.
42
Zaina Zaina Really?
43
Well, I noticed that Sunnyvale restaurant went out of business and the building's up for lease.
44
It's very close to the local university.
45
You'd probably get a lot of walk-in customers.
46
Questions 50 through 52 refer to the following conversation.
47
Hi Koji.
48
I think our new video game is nearly ready to be released.
49
Are you aware of any improvements that need to be made before then?
50
Actually, I just finished testing the game this morning.
51
I found a problem in the third stage of the game.
52
There were a few times when my character couldn't move.
53
Oh, that's strange.
54
I double-checked the problem using a different controller.
55
The same issue came up.
56
Oh, I think Pauline had a similar problem with a game she tested.
57
Maybe you should ask her about it.
58
Questions 53 through 55 refer to the following conversation.
59
You've reached the maintenance office at Hillview Apartment Complex.
60
Hi, this is Pallavi Sen from Unit 35B.
61
I'm calling because the new thermostat in my apartment isn't working.
62
It keeps shutting off and turning on randomly, so my apartment is getting cold.
63
When did this issue start?
64
A few hours ago.
65
The thermostat was just installed yesterday.
66
Okay, I can come and take a look at it tomorrow morning.
67
But it's supposed to be below freezing tonight.
68
Questions 56 through 58 refer to the following conversation with three speakers.
69
Good morning.
70
Welcome to Jasper Bank.
71
Thanks for meeting with us to discuss a loan for our business.
72
Why don't you tell me more about your business?
73
I understand it's a repair shop?
74
Well, ten years ago we opened as a snowmobile repair shop,
75
but after a few years we also started renting out snowmobiles and other sports equipment.
76
Yes, and because winter tourism has increased recently, we'd like to expand our space so that we can carry more inventory.
77
Questions 59 through 61 refer to the following conversation.
78
Many of our factory workers have expressed interest in upgrading their skills.
79
I'd like to implement a peer training program where learners shadow more experienced employees and observe how they do their jobs.
80
I'm afraid that might become a burden for our long-time employees.
81
They'll have to slow down their work to explain what they're doing.
82
What if we videotaped experienced employees doing specific tasks?
83
High-quality video can be recorded and edited with a smartphone.
84
I like that idea.
85
It would allow us to capture our workers' expertise without slowing down the production line.
86
Questions 62 through 64 refer to the following conversation and calendar.
87
Hi, Suresh.
88
I'm at the airport waiting for my flight.
89
I want to meet with a potential investor while I'm in Chicago.
90
Her name's Marta Gomez.
91
I can send you her contact information.
92
Okay.
93
Which day would you prefer to meet with her?
94
How about right after my meeting with the Chicago staff?
95
Okay.
96
By the way, did you see that our company won an award for our contributions to the community?
97
It was just announced this morning.
98
Questions 65 through 67 refer to the following conversation and web page list.
99
Marion, we keep getting calls from people who want to visit the Botanical Garden but can't find parking information.
100
Isn't it on our website?
101
It is, but you have to click on the About Us page and scroll to the bottom of that page.
102
Maybe people don't see it.
103
Oh, I think we should move that information from the About Us page
104
and make a separate page for directions and parking information.
105
That way, people can find it more easily.
106
I'd be happy to make that change, but we're in the middle of updating our software, so it'll have to wait until Monday.
107
Questions 68 through 70 refer to the following conversation and station map.
108
Good news!
109
We have finally received the go-ahead for our department's project to install bicycle racks at the train station downtown. At last!
110
So, now we need to decide where to place the racks.
111
How about by the station entrance?
112
Hmm.
113
If we ask riders, I'd bet they'd say that the most convenient spot is as close to the platform as possible.
114
Let's do that.
115
I'll contact some companies for estimates.
116
Questions 71 through 73 refer to the following recorded message.
117
You've reached select repair service.
118
We specialize in all makes and models of automobiles.
119
Our factory trained specialists will keep your vehicle running in top condition.
120
As an added benefit, we offer extended warranties on all vehicles we service.
121
You can enjoy three extra years of worry-free driving.
122
Please note that Select Repair Service will be closing on Friday, June 30th, so we can complete our quarterly inventory of supplies.
123
Thank you for your patience.
124
A representative will be with you shortly.
125
Questions 74-76 refer to the following talk.
126
Welcome new employees.
127
My name is Diego and I facilitate all orientation sessions.
128
Before we start today, you will need to set up your employee account.
129
If you look at the first page of your training binder, you'll see your username and a temporary password.
130
Please open the laptops you were given this morning and log in using those credentials.
131
You will then be prompted to create your own password.
132
Once that's complete, you'll have access to all your department's files.
133
Please note that you can only access them from your company computer.
134
Questions 77 through 79 refer to the following telephone message.
135
Hello, this is Heather Ross calling from Denville Amusement Park.
136
About a month ago, I ordered one of your new video game machines, Space Defenders.
137
I'm really happy with my purchase, since the game has been incredibly popular with our park guests.
138
I'm considering buying some additional machines in the near future.
139
I heard you may be releasing a new game soon.
140
Could you call me back and let me know if that's true?
141
Thanks.
142
Questions 80 through 82 refer to the following excerpt from a meeting.
143
The first agenda item for our board meeting is the annual sales report.
144
We're all disappointed by the drop in our clothing sales.
145
The decline is mostly due to distribution issues.
146
Because our factories are all overseas, it takes too long for orders to reach customers.
147
So I'm recommending that we start manufacturing some clothing locally.
148
We'll be looking for a location to build a manufacturing facility.
149
I hired a consultant to put together a list of locations we could use.
150
We'll be at our next board meeting to explain the pros and cons of each.
151
Questions 83 through 85 refer to the following announcement.
152
Attention passengers.
153
All trains to Midway Station are delayed for track repairs.
154
Repair crews are working on a stretch of track just south of the town of Whedon.
155
They expect to complete the repair within the hour.
156
We apologize for the delay.
157
We understand that many commuters need to get to Midway as soon as possible.
158
A bus will be departing for that destination in 15 minutes.
159
Also, a reminder that the station cafe opens at 8 a.m and there are food kiosks on Platform 1.
160
Questions 86 through 88 refer to the following telephone message.
161
I'm calling about the work my design team's doing to update your company logo.
162
I've just emailed two versions for you to review.
163
The first is a modern design with bold colors and simple lettering.
164
The second image reflects the history of your brand and its logo.
165
It's less Trendy, but it doesn't depart much from the original, which you may prefer.
166
Take your time to think about which one you'd like to choose.
167
I'll be on vacation all next week, but if you call the office, my assistant will set up a meeting for when I get back.
168
Questions 89 through 91 refer to the following speech.
169
After the Transportation Agency released the draft of our improvement plan last week,
170
Members of the press asked if we're considering installing more fuel-efficient engines in our trains.
171
I've scheduled this press conference to officially respond to your inquiries.
172
Eighteen months ago, we hired a firm to determine if this upgrade would be feasible for our trains.
173
It reported that the upgrade would be economical only for relatively new trains, that is, those less than five years old.
174
All of ours are at least 10 years old.
175
I hope this addresses your questions.
176
If you're interested in more details, email our Media Relations Department to receive a summary of the findings.
177
Questions 92 through 94 refer to the following excerpt from a meeting.
178
As Regional Sales Manager, I want to explore the use of a more modernized payment system in our cosmetic stores.
179
This system would allow any sales associate to take customer payments from a tablet anywhere in the store.
180
Why should we do this?
181
The main complaint about shopping at our stores is waiting in long lines to pay.
182
A lot of our stores could benefit from this, but I've decided to conduct a trial run at our store in the Center City Mall.
183
By far, that's our busiest location.
184
Questions 95 through 97 refer to the following broadcast and table.
185
In local news, the downtown Reston office tower is completed.
186
The most extraordinary feature of the building is its beautiful garden located in the lobby.
187
Reston's management office has confirmed the tenant list for the building, and we interviewed the CEO of Barnum Financial Services about its new offices.
188
He said he and his team are excited to move in in January.
189
A recording of the full interview with the CEO is available on our website.
190
Questions 98 through 100 refer to the following excerpt from a meeting and table.
191
Good morning, and thank you for attending this meeting for prospective investors.
192
ZZ Mining has been planning to expand our operations by opening an additional silver mine.
193
Let me show you the laboratory analysis of our exploratory drilling.
194
On the screen, you can see information about the ore extracted from different sites.
195
The highest grade site had 410 grams of silver per tonne of ore.
196
However, the site with 390 grams per tonne has a larger deposit, so that's where we'll build the new mine.
197
Our next step is to apply for the necessary permits.
198
We'll do that next week.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
