Now turn to section 2.
2
Section 2.
3
you'll hear a tour guide talking to a group of visitors about Bestley Castle.
4
First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
6
Welcome to Besley Castle.
7
It's nice to see so many of you here today.
8
Before we go in, I'd like to tell you some information about the castle.
9
the things to see and do, and the facilities available to you in the grounds We'll do our best to make this a truly memorable visit.
10
Now, the castle grounds are quite big and we don't want you to get lost.
11
So I'm going to give you an idea of the layout.
12
At the moment we are at the entrance, and immediately to our left is the Tourist Information Office.
13
Go here if you need any questions answered.
14
they'll be happy to help.
15
And of course, behind the tourist office is the car park where the coach dropped you off.
16
And he'll also pick you up from the same spot at 5 :00 p .m today.
17
In front of us are the water gardens.
18
If you stroll through, you'll get to the North Bridge, which is the entrance to Bessley Castle.
19
Take your time and enjoy looking around the castle.
20
There is a lot of history steeped in those walls.
21
As you leave the castle via the South Bridge, you'll be greeted with the sight of roaming deer.
22
During the day, there will be scheduled feeding opportunities where visitors can get involved.
23
However, we do request that you do not feed the deer outside these times.
24
To the right of the Deer Park is the Castle Museum, and behind that is our award -winning restaurant.
25
It's a relatively new addition to the castle grounds, but is fast gaining a reputation for its food.
26
Alternatively, you can choose to dine in the picnic area on the other side of the deer park.
27
It's perfect for the family as it's next to the kids' play area and homemade ice cream hut.
28
We hope that on your way out, you pop into the gift shop by the exit for something to remember us by.
29
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
30
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
31
Admission to the grounds is free for all.
32
That includes the museum, gardens, and picnic area.
33
There is an admission fee for the castle, which is £6 .50 for adults, with a 10 % discount for students and retired people.
34
Children under the age of 16 pay half adult price.
35
and under 8 going free.
36
There are many spectacular events throughout the year.
37
And for most of them, there is also an admission fee.
38
As these events are in high demand, it's a good idea to book well in advance.
39
Some of the exciting events planned for this year are the Summer Medieval Festival,
40
where you can watch old -fashioned nights and experience a feast in the halls of the castle, as if you were a guest of King Henry VIII himself.
41
There are several concerts planned this year, too, including a rock concert.
42
at an admission price of 10 pounds per person and a special jazz concert which is free to the public.
43
I'm sure you'll agree that all tastes and ages will be satisfied.
44
One scary but extremely popular event is the annual haunted castle event at the end of October,
45
where the castle comes alive at night.
46
Why don't you come along if you're brave enough?
47
Another sight to see is the fantastic firework display on November 5th, and the cost of that includes refreshments.
48
We also have a long tradition of raising money for charity.
49
The charity event held every year on the first day of May will this year be an archery contest.
50
Entrance is free, but donations are certainly welcome.
51
This year, We'll be collecting money on behalf of a charity for elderly people, Age Concern.
52
Just in case you can't remember all of that, you can pick up a leaflet showing the timetable and prices for all events from the tourist information desk.
53
You can also go online to get this information from our website.
54
That is the end of section two.
55
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
56
Thank you.

¿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.
