Complete IELTS Bands for To Five Listening Track 4 OK.
2
My name is Clarice Willard.
3
Clarice is C-L-A-R-I-C-E and Willard W-I-L-L-A-R-D.
4
Uh-huh.
5
And have you got a contact number?
6
Yes.
7
I'll give you my mobile,
8
which is 0192 873 4566.
9
That's great.
10
Thanks.
11
And can I ask how you found us?
12
Of course.
13
A family member used you last year and recommended you.
14
So I had a look at your website and,
15
well, that's why I'm calling now.
16
Okay.
17
So which property are you interested in?
18
The apartment on Statham Street,
19
the one on the third floor.
20
Uh-huh.
21
Let me
22
see um ah i'm afraid
23
that flats no longer available no no it went this morning
24
it's in a really popular part of town we do have a house on the same street
25
if you're interested it's nine hundred
26
and fifty pounds a month uh no i think that's much too expensive i think an apartment is all we can Oh,
27
so it's not just for you?
28
No, me and a friend.
29
We're both starting work in the town next month.
30
Oh, right, so it's two of you.
31
So, let's see.
32
Do you have any preferences in terms of location?
33
Both our jobs are in the town centre,
34
so it would be good to be within walking distance of that,
35
or perhaps a short bus journey away.
36
Neither of us have a car,
37
so we'd be relying on public transport.
38
Mm-hmm.
39
And what's your budget?
40
I'm sorry?
41
How much can you pay a month?
42
Let me see.
43
Uh...
44
700 pounds a month is probably our limit.
45
Each?
46
no
47
that would be for the both of us we wouldn't be able to pay more than 350 pounds each oh
48
and that would have to include bills not phone bills obviously
49
but things like electricity gas
50
and water mm-hmm okay well we do have a place in the Banton district
51
which is about 10 minutes by bus from town it's a two-bedroom apartment
52
and it's less than your budget at six hundred pounds a month the bills would be extra unfortunately
53
but that should still work out at less than seven hundred pounds although remember
54
that electricity and gas prices are going up all the time
55
so I can't guarantee that do you have an address I do the apartment number is three
56
and it's at fifty seven Thorny Lee's Road hang on let me just make a note of
57
that fifty seven Thorny Lee's Road Thorny is T H O O-R-N-E-Y
58
and Lees is L-E-Y-S and the district is called Bampton.
59
Do you have an email address?
60
Yes.
61
In that case, I can send you the details and then you can think about it.
62
And if you're interested, I could arrange for a visit so you can see the place for yourself.
63
How does that sound?
64
Oh, that would be really helpful.
65
It's Clarice underscore Willard at NT...

El hablante usa 10 contracciones y formas reducidas, como I'm, you're, can't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • /dʒ/ — no es la “y” ni la “ch”: arrange /əˈɹeɪnd͡ʒ/, journey /ˈd͡ʒɝni/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo

  1. Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
  2. Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como bedroom, guarantee, helpful.

¿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.
