Test 4.
2
This is the IELTS Listening Test.
3
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
4
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
5
All the recordings will be played once only.
6
The test is in four parts.
7
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
8
Now turn to part one.
9
Part one.
10
You will hear a man who works at an employment agency phoning a woman who is looking for a job.
11
First you have some time to look at questions one to five.
12
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
13
Hello.
14
Oh, hello.
15
Is that Julie Davison?
16
Yes.
17
This is Greg Preston from the Employment Agency.
18
We met last week when you came in to inquire about office work.
19
Oh, that's right.
20
Now, we've just had some details come in of a job which might interest you.
21
OK.
22
So this is a position for a receptionist.
23
I believe you've done that sort of work before.
24
Yes, I have.
25
I worked in a sports centre for a couple of years before I got married and had the children.
26
Right.
27
Well, this job's in Fordham, so not too far away for you, and it's at the medical centre there.
28
OK.
29
So where exactly is that?
30
It's quite near the station on Chaston's Road.
31
Sorry?
32
Chaston's Road.
33
That's C -H -A -S -T -O -N -S.
34
OK, thanks.
35
So what would the work involve?
36
Dealing with inquiries from patients?
37
Yes.
38
And you'd also be involved in making appointments, whether face -to -face or on the phone, and rescheduling them if necessary.
39
Fine.
40
That shouldn't be a problem.
41
And another of your duties would be keeping the centre's database up to date.
42
Then you might have other general administrative duties as well.
43
But those would be the main ones.
44
OK.
45
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
46
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
47
Now, when the details came in, I immediately thought of you because one thing they do require is someone with experience.
48
And you did mention your work at the sports centre when you came in to see us.
49
Yes, in fact I enjoyed that job.
50
Is there anything else they're looking for?
51
Well, they say it's quite a high -pressure environment.
52
They're always very busy, and patients are often under stress, so they want someone who can cope with that and stay calm
53
and at the same time be confident when interacting with the public.
54
Well, after dealing with three children all under five, I reckon I can cope with that.
55
I'm sure you can.
56
And then another thing they mention is that they're looking for someone with good IT skills.
57
Not a problem.
58
So you'd be interested in following this up?
59
Sure.
60
When would it start?
61
Well, they're looking for someone from the beginning of next month.
62
But I should tell you that this isn't a permanent job.
63
It's temporary.
64
So the contract would be just to the end of September.
65
But they do say that there could be further opportunities after that.
66
OK.
67
And what would the hours be?
68
Well, they want someone who can start at a quarter to eight in the morning.
69
Could you manage that?
70
Yes.
71
My husband would have to get the kids up and off to my mother's.
72
She's going to be looking after them while I'm at work.
73
What time would I finish?
74
1 .15.
75
That should work out all right.
76
I can pick the kids up on my way home and then I'll have the afternoon with them.
77
Oh, one thing.
78
Is there parking available for staff at the centre?
79
Yes, there is.
80
And it's also on a bus route.
81
Right.
82
Well, I expect I'll have the car, but it's good to know that.
83
OK, so where do I go from here?
84
Well, if you are happy for me to do so, I'll forward your CV and references,
85
and then the best thing would probably be for you to phone them so they can arrange for an interview.
86
Great.
87
Well, thank you very much.
88
You're welcome.
89
Bye now.
90
Bye.
91
That is the end of part one.
92
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
93
Thank you.
94
Thank you.

Gramática en este vídeo
Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hace | will be played · will be given · be involved |
| Oraciones de relativo who / which + oración — información extra sobre una persona o cosa | man who works · someone who can |
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | we've just had · you've done |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 16 contracciones y formas reducidas, como they're, I'll, I'm. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: sheet /ʃit/, instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/, receptionist /ɹɪˈsɛp.ʃə.nɪst/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: temporary /ˈtɛmp(əˌɹ)ɛɹi/, administrative /ədˈmɪn.ɪ.stɹə.tɪv/, inquiry /ɪnˈkwaɪ(ə)ɹi/, receptionist /ɹɪˈsɛp.ʃə.nɪst/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: administrative /ədˈmɪn.ɪ.stɹə.tɪv/, involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/
- /dʒ/ — no es la “y” ni la “ch”: arrange /əˈɹeɪnd͡ʒ/, reschedule /ɹiˈskɛd͡ʒʊl/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como temporary, carefully, administrative.
¿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.
