1
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
2
OK, so let's look at a plan of the factory complex and see how it's changed.
3
You can see that the main entrance is at the top of the map.
4
Ellerslie Road is on the left-hand side and the warehouse is at the bottom.
5
OK, let's start with one of the new buildings.
6
The conference centre, perhaps.
7
If you look at the lower half of your plan, on the right, there are two long buildings that are parallel to each other.
8
The conference centre is the one with a view of the river.
9
Hopefully that's something visitors to the factory complex will appreciate, especially on a sunny day when it's clear outside.
10
Now, what about the new office space?
11
As you know, the offices used to be in that large building right alongside Ellerslie Road, and that could get a bit noisy at times.
12
So what we've done is move the office space further away from the road, into the building that directly joins on to reception.
13
This should mean employees can benefit from a quieter working environment, as well as the other improvements I mentioned earlier.
14
We also decided to move the stores building, so it could be a lot closer to the warehouse.
15
so now if you were going to enter the factory complex from the ellerslie road entrance
16
stores would be the building immediately on your left the warehouse staff have already commented
17
that having the stores here is much more convenient yes i'm sure it's going to save a lot of time
18
finance was another building that had to be relocated they just didn't have enough space before.
19
So you can see the main entrance on the plan, right?
20
And below that is the roundabout.
21
Then there's the road that goes from the roundabout directly to reception.
22
Well, the finance building is about halfway along that road.
23
On the plan, the factory is just above it.
24
The cafe, just so you know, is in the same place as before.
25
It's not ideally located for the factory workers that's true
26
but it's not too far if you're heading down from reception
27
or up from the warehouse
28
but what we've done is try to make the environment a bit more pleasant
29
so whereas before you look straight from the cafe onto the
30
large car park now there's a line of trees separating them i think you'll agree
31
that this was a good decision putting in the trees I mean.
32
It was also necessary to relocate the IT department.
33
Of course, for some of their work, they can do it remotely.
34
But from time to time, the IT people do need to visit the different buildings around the factory complex.
35
For that reason, we've given the IT department a more central location.
36
It's that square building you see right in the centre of the plan, one of the closest buildings to the larger car park.
37
Something I'd like to say about the car park actually
38
Thank you.

¿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.
