Listening Test 1, Part 1.

You will hear people talking in eight different situations.

For questions 1 to 8,

choose the best answer A, B or C.

1. You hear a customer talking to a shop assistant about a coat she bought. Can I help you?

Yes, I bought this coat here yesterday,

but when I tried it on at home I found it was too tight on me,

so I'd like to exchange it for a larger one.

Hmm, I don't think we have one in stock.

Perhaps you'd like to try on another kind of coat, or a jacket?

Actually, we've got some lovely winter jackets just in.

No, that's not really what I'm looking for.

I could order the one you mentioned if you like,

or return your money, whichever you prefer.

Could you order it, please?

Fine. Can I help you?

Yes, I bought this coat here yesterday,

but when I tried it on at home I found it was too tight on me,

so I'd like to exchange it for a larger one.

I don't think we have one in stock.

Could you order it, please?

Fine.

I'm afraid it looks like there's quite a storm heading towards western and northern areas,

and that will arrive about dawn tomorrow.

The rest of the country will start off cloudy with a few showers,

but by lunchtime there will be clear skies and the bright weather will last well into the early evening,

apart from in the south where there might be a few foggy patches once the sun goes down.

At around the same time,

bad weather will reach eastern regions,

bringing high winds and heavy rain,

with the possibility of flooding in low-lying areas.

3. You hear an office worker talking about cycling to work

I sometimes think back to

when I used to drive to work in the morning looking at my watch

and worrying in case the traffic made me late

and though I still have to ride through it

and I still get held up by the lights I much prefer going on two wheels.

By the time I arrive I feel pleasantly tired,

almost as if I'd been for a light workout at the gym and that's a good way to start the day.

I hardly give any thought to my work until I actually sit down at my desk

because nowadays I feel much more relaxed and able to cope with whatever might come up during the day.

Four.

You hear a radio announcer talking about a competition for writers of short stories.

We're looking for good short stories to read out on next week's programme.

So if you think you're capable of writing an interesting tale in less than 750 words,

either send it in as an email attachment or post it to us

and you may be one of the lucky five prize winners.

Unlike in some competitions, as long as they are original pieces of writing,

you can send in as many as you like,

and there's no upper or lower age limit.

In fact, last year's first prize was won by a 17-year-old,

and the winner of the second prize was just 16.

5. You hear a conversation about reading.

So what sort of books do you like to read in your spare time?

Well, in my student days I went through a phase of reading novels that could really make me laugh out loud.

But although I still like entertaining stories,

my tastes have changed a little.

To what kinds of thing?

Action stories that take place in remote parts of the world.

The kinds of location my grandfather visited in his younger days,

but I can only dream of travelling to.

I particularly like those with weird characters,

quite unlike anyone you've ever met.

106

Six.

107

You hear two people talking about watching films on the internet.

108

Isn't it much simpler to look at some online reviews,

109

choose a movie, pay a little to download it and then settle down to watch it,

110

rather than go into town,

111

queue up for tickets and then sit in a crowded, uncomfortable cinema?

112

There's certainly a much wider choice available and getting the one you want is easy too,

113

but it's never the same as seeing it on the big screen.

114

And I wouldn't take too much notice of the comments made by other buyers.

115

They're even less reliable than the arts critics in the newspapers.

125

7. You hear a woman at an airport talking on the phone.

126

Yes, it's an awful feeling,

127

and I've been kicking myself here.

128

It's never happened to me before,

129

though I've had a few near-misses.

130

like the time I got stuck in traffic on the road to the airport

131

and only just made it in time or

132

when I got off the underground at Terminal 5 rather than 4

133

and had to race back to the station when I eventually realised my mistake.

134

On this occasion I got there on time

135

but there were just too many people waiting ahead of me

136

and when I finally reached the desk I was told the flight had closed.

137

147

8. You hear a man talking about his new job.

148

When I first saw the ad in the employment section of the paper,

149

it wasn't the fact I'd be earning far more than I am now that caught my attention.

150

It was the chance to achieve my full potential,

151

doing something relevant to the experience I'd gained before I took up my current post.

152

In fact, though the job description in the ad talked about good prospects of rising within the company structure,

153

that's never really been an ambition of mine.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
