Cambridge IELTS 9 by University of Cambridge ESOL examinations.

CD 1 Test 1 You will hear a number of different recordings,

and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.

There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions, and you will have a chance to check your work.

All the recordings will be played once only.

The test is in four sections.

At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

Now turn to section one.

Section 1.

You will hear a man phoning to inquire about a job vacancy.

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.

Now we shall begin.

You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.

Listen carefully and answer questions one to four.

Good evening, King's Restaurant.

Good evening.

I'm ringing about the job.

I understand you have vacant?

Oh, yes.

I'd like to find out a few more details, if I may.

Yes, of course.

Can I take your name?

It's Peter Chin.

Okay, Peter.

Well, if you want to ask about the job, and then if we're both still interested, we could arrange for you to come for an interview.

Great, thanks.

I'm afraid I missed the advert for the job, but heard about it from a friend.

That's no problem at all.

What would you like to know?

Well, um, what sort of work is it?

Washing up?

It's answering the phone.

Oh, right, fine.

And not waiting at table.

That'd be good.

And how many nights a week would it be?

Well, we're really only busy at the weekend.

So, two nights?

Three, actually.

So it would work out at twelve hours a week.

That'd be fine.

It wouldn't interfere with my studies.

Are you at the university?

Yes.

First year physics student.

Oh, right.

Um, and because I'm not an EU national, would I need a work permit?

Yes, you would.

Just get your tutor to sign it.

That wouldn't be a problem if I were to get the job.

Um, where exactly is the restaurant?

Well, we have two branches.

The one we're recruiting for is in Hillsdun Road.

I don't know that.

How do you spell it, please?

It's H-I-L-L-S-D-U-N-N-E Road.

Got that.

Thanks.

Is it near a bus stop?

Yes, the nearest one would probably be just beside the library.

Oh, yes, I know it.

That'd be fine for me.

And could I ask about the pay?

We're offering £4.45 an hour.

That's very good.

My last job was £3.95 an hour.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions five to ten.

Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.

We feel it's pretty good, and we also offer some good fringe benefits.

Really?

Well, we give you a free dinner, so you eat well.

Right.

Better than hostile food.

We certainly hope so.

And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays.

Oh, that's a really good perk, isn't it?

Yes, we think so.

And then because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you're working after eleven o'clock, we drive you home.

Oh, that's good to know.

Well, we'd certainly be interested in inviting you for an interview, if you're still interested.

Oh yes, certainly.

Could I just also ask what qualities you're looking for?

Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have.

Thanks.

And you must be able to think quickly, you know.

Well, I hope I...

So, when could you come in for an interview?

We're actually quite quiet tonight.

Sorry, I couldn't come tonight.

Or tomorrow, I'm afraid.

Thursday's okay.

That'd be 22nd of October.

Fine.

After 5pm?

Yes, fine.

Would 6 o'clock be okay?

Perfect.

100

And could you bring along the names of two referees?

101

Yes, that's fine.

102

No problem.

103

Good.

104

I look forward to seeing you.

105

Oh, uh, by the way, who should I ask for?

106

Oh, yes, of course.

107

Sorry.

108

My name is Samira Manuja.

109

Uh, can you spell that, please?

110

M-A-N-U-J-A.

111

Okay, I've got that.

112

Thanks very much.

113

Look forward to seeing you later on then.

114

That is the end of Section 1.

115

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

116

Now turn to section 2.

¿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.
