Test 2.
2
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
3
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
4
All the recordings will be played once only.
5
The test is in four sections.
6
At the end of the test,
7
you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
8
Now turn to section one.
9
Section one.
10
You will hear a woman phoning the secretary of a cycling club to find out about becoming a member.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
12
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
13
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
14
Hello, South City Cycling Club.
15
Oh, hi.
16
I want to find out about joining the club.
17
Right, I can help you there.
18
I'm the club secretary and my name's Jim Hunter.
19
Oh, hi, Jim.
20
The club secretary's name is Jim Hunter,
21
so Hunter has been written in the space.
22
Now we shall begin.
23
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
24
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
25
Hello, South City Cycling Club.
26
Oh, hi.
27
Um, I want to find out about joining the club.
28
Right, I can help you there.
29
I'm the club secretary and my name's Jim Hunter.
30
Oh, hi Jim.
31
So, are you interested in membership for yourself?
32
That's right.
33
OK, well there are basically two types of adult membership.
34
If you're pretty serious about cycling, there's the full membership.
35
That costs $260 and that covers you not just for ordinary cycling,
36
but also for races both here in the city and also in other parts of Australia.
37
Right.
38
Well, I'm not really up to that standard.
39
I was more interested in just joining a group to do some cycling in my free time.
40
Sure.
41
That's why most people join.
42
So in that case, you'd be better with the recreational membership.
43
That's $108 if you're over 19 and $95 if you're under.
44
I'm 25.
45
OK.
46
It's paid quarterly and you can upgrade it later to the full membership if you want to, of course.
47
Now, both types of membership include the club fee of $20.
48
They also provide insurance in case you have an accident,
49
though we hope you won't need that of course.
50
No. OK, well I'll go with the recreational membership I think,
51
and that allows me to join in the club activities and so on?
52
That's right.
53
And once you're a member of the club,
54
you're also permitted to wear our kit when you're out cycling.
55
It's green and white.
56
Yes, I've seen cyclists wearing it.
57
So can I buy that at the club?
58
And now it's made to order by a company in Brisbane.
59
You can find them online.
60
They're called Jerry's.
61
That's J-E-R-R-I-Z.
62
You can use your membership number to put in an order on their website.
63
Okay.
64
Now can you tell me a bit about the rides I can do?
65
Sure.
66
So we have training rides pretty well every morning
67
and they're a really good way of improving your cycling skills as well as your general level of fitness.
68
But they're different levels.
69
Level A is pretty fast.
70
You're looking at about 30 or 35 kilometres an hour.
71
If you can do about 25 kilometres an hour,
72
you'd probably be level B and then And Level C are the novices who stay at about 15 kilometres per hour.
73
Right.
74
Well, I reckon I'd be Level B.
75
So when are the sessions for that level?
76
Er, there are a couple each week.
77
They're both early morning sessions.
78
There's one on Tuesdays, and for that one you meet at 5.30am,
79
and the meeting point's the stadium.
80
Do you know where that is?
81
Yes, it's quite near my home, in fact.
82
OK, and how about the other one?
83
That's on Thursdays.
84
It starts at the same time,
85
but they meet at the main gate to the park.
86
Is that the one just past the shopping mall?
87
That's it.
88
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
89
you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
90
Now listen and answer questions seven to ten.
91
So how long are the rides?
92
They're about an hour and a half,
93
so if you have a job,
94
it's easy to fit in before you go to work.
95
And the members often go somewhere for coffee afterwards,
96
so it's quite a social event.
97
OK, that sounds good.
98
I've only just moved to the city,
99
so I don't actually know many people yet.
100
Well, it's a great way to meet people.
101
And does each ride have a leader?
102
Sometimes, but not always.
103
But you don't really need one.
104
The group members on the ride support one another anyway.
105
How would we know where to go?
106
If you check the club website,
107
you'll see that the route for each ride is clearly marked.
108
So you can just print that out and take it along with you.
109
It's similar from one week to another,
110
but it's not always exactly the same.
111
And what do I need to bring?
112
Hmm, well, bring a bottle of water and your phone.
113
You shouldn't use it while you're cycling,
114
but have it with you.
115
Right.
116
And in winter, it's well before sunrise when we set out,
117
so you need to make sure your bike's got lights.
118
That's OK.
119
Well, thanks, Jim.
120
I'd definitely like to join.
121
So what's the best way of going about it.
122
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.
