1
Part 2.
2
You will hear a tour guide, Lou Miller,
3
speaking to a group of people about a boat trip they are going to take around the Australian island of Tasmania.
4
First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14. So, hello everyone.
6
My name's Lou Miller, and I'm going to be your tour guide today, as we take this fantastic boat trip around the Tasmanian coast.
7
Before we set off, I just want to tell you a few things about our journey.
8
Our boats aren't huge, as you can see.
9
We We already have three staff members on board, and on top of that,
10
we can transport a further 15 people around the coastline.
11
But please note, if there are more than 9 people on either side of the boat, we'll move some of you over,
12
otherwise all 18 of us will end up in the sea.
13
We've recently upgraded all our boats.
14
They used to be jet black, but our new ones now have these comfortable dark red seats
15
and a light green exterior in order to stand out from others and help promote our company.
16
This gives our boats a rather unique appearance, don't you think?
17
We offer you a free lunchbox during the trip, and we have three types.
18
Lunchbox 1 contains ham and tomato sandwiches.
19
Lunchbox 2 contains a cheddar cheese roll.
20
And Lunchbox 3 is salad-based and also contains eggs and tuna.
21
All three lunchboxes also have a packet of crisps and chocolate bar inside.
22
Please let staff know which lunchbox you prefer.
23
I'm sure I don't have to ask you not to throw anything into the sea.
24
We don't have any bins to put litter in, but Jess, myself or Ray,
25
our other guide, will collect it from you after lunch and put it all in a large plastic sack.
26
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
27
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
28
The engine on the boat makes quite a lot of noise, so before we head off, let me tell you a few things about what you're going to see.
29
This area is famous for its ancient lighthouse, which you'll see from the boat as we turn past the first little island.
30
It was built in 1838 to protect sailors, as a number of shipwrecks had led to significant loss of life.
31
The construction itself was complicated, as some of the original drawings kept by the local council show.
32
It sits right on top of the cliffs in a very isolated spot.
33
In the 19th century, there were many jobs there, such as polishing the brass lamps,
34
chopping firewood and cleaning windows that kept lighthouse keepers busy.
35
These workers were mainly prison convicts until the middle of that century, when ordinary families willing to live in such circumstances took over.
36
Some of you have asked me what creatures we can expect to see.
37
I know everyone loves the penguins, but they're very shy and unfortunately tend to hide from passing boats,
38
but you might see birds in the distance, such as sea eagles, flying around the cliff edges where they nest.
39
When we get to the rocky area inhabited by fur seals, we'll stop and watch them swimming around the coast.
40
They're inquisitive creatures, so don't be surprised if one pops up right in front of you.
41
Their predators, orca whales, hunt along the coastline too, but spotting one of these is rare.
42
Dolphins, on the other hand, can sometimes approach on their own or in groups as they ride the waves beside us.
43
Lastly, I want to mention the caves.
44
Tasmania is famous for its caves, and the ones we'll pass by are so amazing that people are lost for words when they see them.
45
They can only be approached by sea, but if you feel that you want to see more than we're able to show you,
46
then you can take a kayak into the area on another day, and one of our staff will give you more information on that.
47
What we'll do is to go through a narrow channel, past some incredible rock formations,
48
and from there we'll be able to see the openings to the caves, and at that point we'll talk to you about what lies beyond.
49
That is the end of part two.
50
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part two.

  • Our boats aren't huge, as you can see.
  • We've recently upgraded all our boats.
  • This gives our boats a rather unique appearance, don't you think?

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

El hablante usa 19 contracciones y formas reducidas, como we'll, don't, I'm. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: inquisitive /ɪŋˈkwɪzətɪv/, inhabited /ɪnˈhæbɪtɪd/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: inquisitive /ɪŋˈkwɪzətɪv/, convict /ˈkɑnvɪkt/
  • /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: lighthouse /ˈlaɪthaʊs/, inhabited /ɪnˈhæbɪtɪd/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo

  1. Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
  2. Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como lunchbox, coastline, lighthouse.

¿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.
