Now turn to part three.

Ahora pasemos a la tercera parte.

Questions 14 to 19.

You will hear a radio programme about some historic places to visit.

For each question, fill in the missing information in the numbered space.

You now have 20 seconds to look at part three.

Now we are ready to start.

Listen carefully.

You will hear the recording twice.

Are you interested in history?

Well, I'd like to tell you about some of the historic places open to visitors in this part of the country.

Let's start with the oldest first.

Blackrock caves have been here for over two million years.

And for half a million years, they were home to people and various animals, particularly tigers.

You can explore these ancient homes and imagine what life was like for the people who lived there.

The caves are open daily from April to October.

A special attraction on evenings in August is a walk by candlelight.

Don't take this tour if you're afraid of the dark.

Next, I recommend a visit to Salter House.

This was built by Sir Joshua Salter and dates back to 1765.

The Salter family are still living there today.

The house became famous in 1982 when the television series Aunt Dorothy was filmed there.

The furniture and paintings are well worth seeing, but the attraction nobody wants to miss is the kitchen.

This is where Aunt Dorothy cooked her enormous meals and gave advice to anyone who passed through this part of the house.

And don't forget to visit the old port.

You'll need several hours to see everything there, especially if you take a trip along the riverside in an old tram as far as the fishing village.

The guides there all wear traditional costume, and you too get the chance to try on clothes from a hundred years ago.

You can buy gifts in the old village stores and eat delicious snacks in the tea shop.

If you visit the village factory, you can see how sweets were made a hundred years ago, and taste them too.

So you see, there's plenty of things...

Now listen again.

¿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.
