Part 2.

You will hear the manager of a childcare service at a

primary school talking to parents at an open day about the school's childcare service offered before and after school.

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.

Good afternoon.

My name's Mrs Carter and I run the Before and After School Extended Hours Child Care Service.

I hope you've had a chance to have a good look around the school and talk to staff and pupils.

I know that many of you are interested in using our child care service

when your child joins the school and perhaps you already know something about it.

But for those that don't, I'll go through the main details now.

We offer child care for children from the ages of 4 to 11, both before and after school.

I know that many parents who work find this service invaluable.

You can leave your child with us, safe in the knowledge that they will be extremely well cared for.

We are ensured to provide care for up to 70 children, although we rarely have this many attending at any one session.

I think we generally expect around 50 to 60 children for the afternoon sessions

and about half that number for the breakfast sessions.

Although we currently do have 70 children registered with us, not all of these attend every day.

It's 10 years since we began offering an extended hours service and we've come a long way during that time.

When we first opened, we only had about 20 children attending regularly.

We try to keep our costs as low as we can and we think we provide very good value for money.

For the afternoon sessions, which run from 3.30 until 6pm, it's £7.20.

But if you prefer, you can pay for one hour only, which costs £3.50, or two hours, which costs £5.70.

The cost of the childcare includes food and snacks.

They'll be given breakfast in the morning and in the afternoon a healthy snack as soon as they finish school.

At 5pm children are given something more substantial such as pasta or a casserole.

Please inform us of any allergies that your child might have and we'll make sure they're offered a suitable alternative.

As you may know, the childcare service runs through the school holidays from 8am to 6pm.

We offer a really varied and exciting programme to keep the children entertained.

We don't want them to feel as if they are still at school.

It will also feel different because they'll get the chance to make new friends with children from other schools.

Spaces are available for them because a lot of our term time children don't always attend during the holiday.

In the past, parents have asked

if children over the age of 11 are allowed to come with their younger brothers and sisters, but I'm afraid we're unable to do this

because of the type of insurance we have before you hear

the rest of the talk you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20 now listen

and answer questions 16 to 20.

so now let me tell you about some of the activities that your child can do during the after-school sessions.

As well as being able to use the playground equipment,

computers, and the library, there is usually at least one special activity that children can do each day.

For example, Spanish.

We have a specialist teacher coming in every Thursday to give a basic introduction to the language through games and songs.

She does two sessions, one for the over rates and one for the younger children.

This is the only activity which we have to make an extra charge for but it's well worth it.

Once a week the children have the opportunity to do some music.

We're very lucky that one of our staff is a member of a folk band.

On Mondays she teaches singing and percussion to groups of children.

We do rely on parental support for this so

if any of you sing or play an instrument and would be prepared to help out at these sessions we'd be delighted.

Painting continues to be one of the most popular activities.

To begin with we weren't keen on offering this

because of the extra mess involved but children kept asking if they could do some art and so we finally gave in.

Art is great for helping the children to relax after working hard at school all day.

Yoga is something that we've been meaning to introduce for some time

but haven't been able to find anyone available to teach it, until now that is.

So we'll see how this goes.

Hopefully, children will benefit in all sorts of ways from this.

Cooking is another popular activity.

They make a different sort of cake or pizza or bread each week.

Although the younger children love doing it, we found that the mess was just too much.

so we've decided to restrict this to the over-8s as they are better able to clean up after themselves.

That is the end of part two.

¿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.
