Section 1.
2
You will hear a man asking for information about health services in the place where he is living.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
4
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
5
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. Can I help you?
6
Yes, I've just moved to this area with my wife and children,
7
and I'd like to know where we can all register with a doctor at a health centre.
8
Oh, okay.
9
Well, there's Dr Green at the Harvey Clinic clinic?
10
The woman says the doctor at the Harvey Clinic is called Dr Green,
11
so Green has been written in the space.
12
Now we shall begin.
13
You should answer the questions as you listen,
14
because you will not hear the recording a second time.
15
Listen carefully and answer questions one to six. Can I help you?
16
Yes.
17
I've just moved to this area with my wife and children,
18
and I'd like to know where we can all register with a doctor at a health centre.
19
Oh, okay.
20
Well, there's Dr. Green at the Harvey Clinic.
21
We always recommend her for babies because she's very good with them and she runs a special clinic.
22
Oh, actually, my youngest child is five,
23
so that wouldn't be any good for us.
24
Right.
25
Is there anywhere else I could try?
26
Yes, the Eshcol Health Practice is the next one on my list.
27
How do you spell that?
28
E-S-H-C-O-L.
29
And it's Dr Fuller who has space on his list.
30
The clinic only opened a year ago,
31
so the facilities are all very modern.
32
That sounds good.
33
And it's particularly good if you're busy during the day,
34
because they also do appointments in the evening.
35
They're closed on Saturday, though.
36
The only other place on the list is the health centre on Shore Lane.
37
You can register with Dr. Gormley.
38
That's G-O-R-M-L-E-Y.
39
He's new there, but the centre has a very good reputation.
40
Oh, yes.
41
I think I know the road.
42
That would be the best one.
43
Thanks.
44
Could you tell me, will all their services be free?
45
Uh, there are usually some small charges that doctors make.
46
Let me see what it says about the Shore Lane Centre.
47
If you need to be vaccinated before any trips abroad,
48
you won't have to pay for this.
49
ah what else the sports injury treatment service operates on a
50
paying basis as does the nutritional therapy service some health centers
51
do offer alternative therapies like homeopathy as part of their pay
52
to use service shaw lane are hoping to do this soon i think they may start with acupuncture oh
53
and finally if you need to prove you're healthy or haven't had any serious injuries before a new employer will accept you,
54
you can get a free fitness check up there.
55
But you'd most likely have to pay for insurance medicals, though.
56
OK, thanks.
57
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
58
you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
59
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
60
You might also be interested to know the Centre is running a pilot scheme of talks for patients.
61
I've got the list here.
62
Actually, they look very interesting.
63
What sort of things?
64
Well, the first one's about giving up smoking.
65
It's next week, the 25th of February,
66
at 7pm, and that's in Room 4.
67
It says the talk will stress the health benefits,
68
particularly for people with asthma or heart disease.
69
That sounds very interesting.
70
There's also a talk for families with children.
71
It's on healthy eating and takes place on the 1st of March at 5 o'clock.
72
Will that be at the health centre?
73
Actually, it's at the primary school on Shore Lane.
74
I imagine they're inviting the parents of pupils there.
75
It says here, all welcome.
76
Hmm.
77
I might go to that if I have time.
78
There's a couple of other talks.
79
One giving advice about how to avoid injuries while doing exercise.
80
It's on the 9th of March.
81
Oh, it's a late afternoon talk at 4.30.
82
And it'll be in room 6.
83
It also says the talk is suitable for all ages.
84
and finally there's a talk called stress management which is on

¿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.
