1
Part 3.
2
You will hear two veterinary science students called Diana and Tim discussing their work placements and their course modules.
3
First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
6
So, Tim, we have to do a short summary of our work experience on a farm.
7
Right.
8
My farm was great, but arranging the work experience was hard.
9
One problem was it was miles away and I don't drive.
10
And also, I'd really wanted a placement for a month, but I could only get one for two weeks.
11
I was lucky.
12
The farmer let me stay on the farm, so I didn't have to travel.
13
But finding the right sort of farm to apply to wasn't easy.
14
No, they don't seem to have websites, do they?
15
I found mine through a friend of my mother's, but it wasn't easy.
16
No. My farm was mostly livestock, especially sheep.
17
I really enjoyed helping out with them.
18
I was up most of one night helping a sheep deliver a lamb.
19
On your own?
20
No, the farmer was there, and he told me what to do.
21
It wasn't a straightforward birth, but I managed.
22
It was a great feeling to see the lamb stagger to its feet and start feeding almost straight away, and to know that it was OK.
23
Then another time a lamb had broken its leg, and they got the vet in to set it, and he talked me through what he was doing.
24
That was really useful.
25
Yes, my farm had sheep too.
26
The farm was in a valley and they had a lowland breed called Suffolk's, although the farmer said they'd had other breeds in the past.
27
So were they bred for their meat?
28
Mostly, yes.
29
They're quite big and solid.
30
My farm was up in the hills and they had a different breed of sheep.
31
They were Cheviots.
32
Oh, I heard their wools really sought after.
33
Yes, it's very hard wearing and they use it for carpets.
34
Right.
35
I was interested in the amount of supplements they add to animals' feed nowadays.
36
Like, even the chickens got extra vitamins and electrolytes in their feed.
37
Yes, I found that too.
38
And they're not cheap.
39
But my farmer said some are overpriced for what they are, and he didn't give them as a matter of routine,
40
just at times when the chickens seemed to particularly require them.
41
Yes, Mai said the same.
42
He said certain breeds of chickens might need more supplements than the others, but the cheap and expensive ones are all basically the same.
43
So did your farm have any other livestock, Diana?
44
Yes, dairy cows.
45
I made a really embarrassing mistake when I was working in the milk shed.
46
Some cows had been treated with antibiotics, so their milk wasn't suitable for human consumption and it had to be put in a separate container.
47
But I got mixed up and I poured some milk from the wrong cow in with the milk for humans, so the whole lot had to be thrown away.
48
The farmer wasn't too happy with me.
49
I asked my farmer how much he depended on the vet to deal with health problems.
50
I'd read reports that the livestock's health is being affected as farmers are under pressure to increase production.
51
Well, he didn't agree with that, but he said that actually some of the stuff the vets do, like minor operations, he'd be quite capable of doing himself.
52
Yeah, my farmer said the same, but he reckons vet skills are still needed.
53
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
54
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
55
Now we've got to give a bit of feedback about last term's modules, just short comments apparently.
56
Shall we do that now?
57
OK.
58
So, medical terminology.
59
Well, my heart sank when I saw that, especially right at the beginning of the course, and I did struggle with it.
60
I thought it'd be hard, but actually I found it all quite straightforward.
61
What did you think about diet and nutrition?
62
OK, I suppose.
63
Do you remember what they told us about pet food
64
and the fact that there's such limited checking into whether or not it's contaminated?
65
I mean, in comparison with the checks on food for humans, I thought that was terrible.
66
Hmm.
67
I think the module that really impressed me was the animal disease one,
68
when we looked at domesticated animals in different parts of the world, like camels and water buffalo and alpaca.
69
The economies of so many countries depend on these, but scientists don't know much about the diseases that affect them.
70
Yes.
71
I thought they'd know a lot about ways of controlling and eradicating those diseases, but that's not the case at all.
72
I loved the wildlife medication unit.
73
Things like helping birds that have been caught in oil spills.
74
That's something I hadn't thought about before.
75
Yeah, I thought I might write my dissertation on something connected with that.
76
Right.
77
So, actually, I was thinking something along the same lines...
78
That is the end of part three.
79
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part three.

¿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.
