1
Section 1.
2
You are going to hear a conversation between Angela and Mr. Ray.
3
Angela is applying to join the library.
4
Listen to the conversation and complete the form below.
5
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
6
Now we shall begin.
7
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will never hear the recording a second time.
8
Hello.
9
How can I join the library?
10
Well, you need to make an application.
11
Would you like to do it now?
12
Yes, if I can.
13
One moment and I'll get the form.
14
Now, I just need to ask you a few questions before you sign at the bottom.
15
Okay.
16
Your full name, please.
17
Angela Mary Price.
18
Price?
19
Yes, that's right.
20
Okay.
21
And your address?
22
Apartment 3, 86 Bridge Street, Pimlico.
23
Bridge Street.
24
That's just near here, isn't it?
25
Yes, not very far.
26
Good.
27
So the postcode must be 2065, right?
28
Yes, that's right.
29
Now, your telephone number.
30
I need both home and work if you have them.
31
My home number is 8763-5142, and work is 8456-1307.
32
Do you need anything else, like ID or something?
33
Yes, your driver's license will do, if you have one.
34
Right.
35
It's easy to remember.
36
I know it by heart.
37
4040AC.
38
I'm afraid I'll also need to see it.
39
Okay, here it is.
40
Thanks.
41
And your date of birth, please?
42
24 March 1981.
43
Okay, thanks.
44
That's the most important part completed.
45
But if you don't mind, I'd also like to ask you a few questions for a survey we're conducting.
46
Yes, that's okay.
47
Now you have some time to read questions 6 to 10.
48
As the conversation continues, answer questions 6 to 10.
49
What kind of books do you like to read?
50
Here's a list to look at.
51
Oh, it varies from time to time, but I always like to relax and learn about other countries I might visit one day.
52
I don't like anything too heavy or serious, unless it's about animals or the environment.
53
I'm not really into sport very much.
54
Anything else?
55
Well, I do like entertaining at home.
56
You know, dinner parties.
57
So I suppose you'll have something for me in that line.
58
The pictures in those books always make me hungry, although they never seem to turn out exactly as they look in the books.
59
Fine.
60
I think that's all I need now, except I need you to sign here on the application form.
61
Oh, and I almost forgot.
62
The membership fee is $20, which is refundable if you no longer stay a member.
63
There you are.
64
Do I sign at the bottom here?
65
Yes, that's right.
66
You can borrow books now if you wish, although your membership card won't be ready until next week.
67
So if you want to borrow today, you can pick up your card when you return your first books.
68
That's if you want to take some now.
69
I think I will, but I'll have a look around first.
70
Okay, take your time.
71
This is the end of Section 1.
72
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
73
Thank you.
74
Thank you.
75
Thank you.
76
Thank you.
77
Thank you.
78
Thank you.
79
Thank you.
80
Thank you.
81
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.
