Cambridge 17 Listening Test 2.
2
You will hear a number of different recordings.
3
All the recordings will be played once only.
4
The test is in four parts.
5
You will have 10 minutes at the end of the test to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
6
Now turn to part one.
7
First you have some time to look at questions one to seven.
8
Now listen and answer questions 1 to 7.
9
Hello, Jane Fairbank speaking.
10
Oh, good morning.
11
My name's Frank Pritchard.
12
I've just retired and moved to Southo.
13
I'd like to become a volunteer, and I gather you coordinate voluntary work in the village?
14
That's right.
15
What sort of thing could I do?
16
Well, we need help with the village library.
17
We borrow books from the town library, and individuals also donate them.
18
So, one thing you could do is get involved in collecting them, if you've got a car, that is.
19
Yes, that's no problem.
20
The times are pretty flexible, so we can arrange it to suit you.
21
Oh, another thing is the records that we keep of the books we're given, and those we borrow and need to return to the town library.
22
It would be very useful to have another person to help keep them up to date.
23
Right.
24
I'm used to working on a computer.
25
I presume they're computerised?
26
Oh, yes.
27
Is the library purpose-built?
28
I haven't noticed it when I've walked round the village.
29
No. We simply have the use of a room in the village hall.
30
The West Room.
31
It's on the left, as you go in.
32
I must go and have a look inside the hall.
33
Yes, it's a nice building.
34
Do you run a lunch club in the village for elderly people?
35
I know a lot of places do.
36
Yes, we have a very successful club.
37
I could help with transport, if that's of any use.
38
Oh, definitely.
39
People come to the club from neighbouring villages, and we're always in need of more drivers.
40
And does the club have groups that focus on a particular hobby too?
41
I could get involved in one or two, particularly if there are any art groups.
42
Excellent.
43
I'll find out where we need help and get back to you.
44
Fine.
45
What about help for individual residents?
46
Do you arrange that at all?
47
Yes, we do it as a one-off.
48
Oh, in fact, there's Mrs Carol.
49
She needs a lift to the hospital next week, and we're struggling to find someone.
50
When's her appointment? On Tuesday.
51
It would take the whole morning.
52
I could do that.
53
Oh, that would be great.
54
Thank you.
55
And also next week, we're arranging to have some work done to Mr. Salisbury's house before he moves, as he isn't healthy enough to do it himself.
56
We've got some people to decorate his kitchen, but if you could do some weeding in his garden, that would be wonderful.
57
Okay, I'd enjoy that.
58
And presumably the day and time are flexible?
59
Oh yes, just say when would suit you best and we'll let Mr. Salisbury know.
60
Good.
61
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 8 to 10.
62
Now listen and answer questions 8 to 10.
63
The volunteers group also organises monthly social events, which is a great way to meet other people, of course.
64
Uh-huh.
65
So next month, on the 19th of October, we're holding a quiz.
66
A couple of residents are great at planning unusual ones, and we always fill the village hall.
67
That sounds like fun.
68
Can I do anything to help?
69
Well, because of the number of people, we need plenty of refreshments for halfway through.
70
So if you could provide any, we'd be grateful.
71
I'm sure I could.
72
I'll think about what to make and let you know.
73
Thank you.
74
Then on November the 18th, we're holding a dance, also in the Village Hall.
75
We've booked a band that specialises in music of the 1930s.
76
They've been before, and we've had a lot of requests to bring them back.
77
I'm not really a dancer, but I'd like to do something to help.
78
Well, we sell tickets in advance.
79
And having an extra person to check them at the door as people arrive would be good.
80
It can be quite a bottleneck if everyone arrives at once.
81
OK, I'm happy with that.
82
We're also arranging a New Year's Eve party.
83
We're expecting that to be a really big event, so instead of the village hall, it'll be held in the Mountfort Hotel.
84
The Mountfort.
85
M-O-U-N-T-F-O-R-T Hotel.
86
It isn't in South O itself, but it's only a couple of miles away.
87
The hotel will be providing dinner, and we've booked a band.
88
The one thing we haven't got yet is a poster.
89
That isn't something you could do by any chance, is it?
90
Well, actually, yes.
91
Before I retired, I was a graphic designer, so that's right up my street.
92
Oh, perfect.
93
I'll give you the details, and then perhaps you could send me a draft? Of course.
94
That is the end of part one.
95
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
96
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.
