1
Section 2.
2
You will hear a restaurant manager talking to a small group
3
of new staff who are starting work as kitchen assistants in a restaurant.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
5
Now listen carefully.
6
and answer questions eleven to sixteen.
7
Good morning everyone.
8
My name's Joy Parkins and I'm the restaurant manager, and I understand that none of you have had any previous experience as kitchen assistants.
9
Well, you might be feeling a bit nervous now, but most of our kitchen assistants say they enjoy the work.
10
OK, they might get shouted at sometimes, but it's nothing personal, and they're pleased that they have so many different things to do, which means they never get bored.
11
And I'll tell you straight away that if you do well, we might think about moving you up and giving you some more responsibility.
12
Right, well, you've all shown up on time, which is an excellent start.
13
Now, I'm glad to see none of you have unsuitable footwear, so that's good.
14
You need to be careful as the floors can get very wet and slippery.
15
Those of you with long hair have got it well out of the way, but some of you will need to remove your rings and bracelets.
16
Just put them somewhere safe for today and remember to leave them at home tomorrow as they can be a safety hazard.
17
Now, it's going to be a busy day for you all today.
18
We don't have any tables free for this evening and only a few for lunch.
19
Fortunately, we've got our head chef back.
20
He was away on holiday all last week which meant the other chefs had extra work.
21
Now, I'll tell you a bit more about the job in a minute, but first some general regulations.
22
For all of you, whatever your age, there's some equipment you mustn't use until you've been properly trained,
23
like the waste disposal system, for example, for health and safety reasons.
24
Then I think there are two of you here who are under 18.
25
That's Emma and Jake, isn't it?
26
Right, so for you two, the meat slicer is out of bounds,
27
and of course none of you are allowed to use the electric mixer until you've been shown how it works.
28
Now, you may have heard that this can be a stressful job, and I have to say that can be true.
29
You'll be working an eight-hour day for the first week, though you'll have the chance to do overtime after that as well if you want to.
30
But however long the hours are, you'll get a break in the middle.
31
What you will find is that you're on your feet all day long, lifting and carrying, so if you're not fit now, you soon will be.
32
You'll find you don't have much chance to take it easy.
33
When someone tells you to do something, you need to do it straight away.
34
But at least we do have a very efficient air conditioning system compared with some kitchens.
35
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
36
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
37
Now let me tell you about some of the people you need to know.
38
So, as I said, I'm Joy Parkins and I decide who does what during the day and how long they work for.
39
I'll be trying to get you to work with as many different people in the kitchen as possible, so that you learn while you're on the job.
40
One person whose name you must remember is David Field.
41
If you injure yourself at all, even if it's really minor, you must report to him and he'll make sure the incident is recorded and you get the appropriate treatment.
42
He's trained to give basic treatment to staff himself, or he'll send you off somewhere else if necessary.
43
Then there's Dexter Wills.
44
He's the person you need to see if you smash a plate
45
or something like that don't just leave it
46
and hope no one will notice it's really important to get things noted and replaced or there could be problems later
47
and finally there's Mike Smith he's the member of staff who takes care of all the stores of perishables
48
so if you notice we're getting low in flour or sugar
49
or something make sure you let him know so he can put in an order
50
okay now the next thing we need to cover That is the end of Section 2.
51
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
52
Now turn to section 3.

¿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.
