IELTS 15.

Published by Cambridge University Press and Cambridge Assessment English 2020.

This recording is copyright.

Test 1.

This is the IELTS Listening Test.

You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.

There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions, and you will have a chance to check your work.

All the recordings will be played once only.

The test is in four parts.

At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.

Now turn to part one.

Part 1 You will hear a woman phoning a friend to get information about a job agency.

First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.

Hello, William.

This is Amber.

You said to phone if I wanted to get more information about the job agency you mentioned.

Is now a good time?

Hi, Amber.

Yes, fine.

So, the agency I was talking about is called Bankside.

They're based in Docklands.

I can tell you the address now.

497 Eastside.

OK, thanks.

So, is there anyone in particular I should speak to there?

The agent I always deal with is called Becky Jameson.

Let me write that down.

Becky...

Jameson.

J-A-M-I-E-S-O-N Do you have her direct line?

Yes, it's in my contact somewhere.

Right, here we are.

07866510333. I wouldn't call her until the afternoon if I were you.

She's always really busy in the morning trying to fill last-minute vacancies.

She's really helpful and friendly, so I'm sure it would be worth getting in touch with her for an informal chat.

It's mainly clerical and admin jobs they deal with, isn't it?

That's right.

I know you're hoping to find a full-time job in the media eventually, but Becky mostly recruits temporary staff for the finance sector,

which will look good on your CV and generally pays better too.

Yeah, I'm just a bit worried because I don't have much office experience.

I wouldn't worry.

They'll probably start you as a receptionist or something like that.

So what's important for that kind of job isn't so much having business skills or knowing lots of different computer systems, it's communication that really matters,

so you'd be fine there.

And you'll pick up office skills really quickly on the job.

It's not that complicated.

OK, good.

So how long do people generally need temporary staff for?

It would be great if I could get something lasting at least a month.

That shouldn't be too difficult.

But you're more likely to be offered something for a week at first, which might get extended.

It's unusual to be sent somewhere for just a day or two.

Right.

I've heard the pay isn't too bad.

Better than working in a shop or a restaurant.

Oh, yes, definitely.

The hourly rate is about £10, 11 if you're lucky.

That's pretty good.

I was only expecting to get eight or nine pounds an hour.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten.

Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.

Do you want me to tell you anything about the registration process?

Yes, please.

I know you have to have an interview.

The interview usually takes about an hour and you should arrange that about a week in advance.

I suppose I should dress smartly if it's for office work.

I can probably borrow a suit from Mum.

Good idea.

It's better to look too smart than too casual.

Will I need to bring copies of my exam certificates or anything like that?

No, they don't need to see those, I don't think.

What about my passport?

Oh yes, they will ask to see that.

OK.

I wouldn't get stressed about the interview, though.

It's just a chance for them to build a relationship with you, so they can try and match you to a job which you'll like.

So there are questions about personality that they always ask candidates, fairly basic ones, and they probably won't ask anything too difficult,

like what your plans are for the future.

Oh, hope not.

Anyway, there are lots of benefits to using an agency.

For example, the interview will be useful because they'll give you feedback on your performance so you can improve next time.

And they'll have access to jobs which aren't advertised.

Exactly.

Most temporary jobs aren't advertised.

And I expect finding a temporary job this way takes a lot less time.

It's much easier than ringing up individual companies.

Yes, indeed.

Well, I think I've covered everything.

Thank you.

Part 2 You will hear a woman giving a presentation about a holiday on an island in Britain that her company organizes.

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.

Good morning.

My name's Erica Matthews and I'm the owner of Matthews Island Holidays, a company set up by my parents.

Thank you for coming to this presentation, in which I hope to interest you in what we have to offer.

We're a small family-run company, and we believe in the importance of the personal touch,

so we don't aim to compete with other companies on the number of customers.

What we do is build on our many years' experience, more than almost any other rail holiday company,

100

to ensure we provide perfect holidays in a small number of destinations, which we've got to know extremely well.

101

I'll start with our six-day Isle of Man holiday.

102

This is a fascinating island in the Irish Sea, with Wales to the south, England to the east, Scotland to the north, and Northern Ireland to the west.

103

Our holiday starts in Hesham, where your tour manager will meet you, then you'll travel by ferry to the Isle of Man.

104

Some people prefer to fly from Luton instead

105

and another popular option is to go by train to Liverpool and take a ferry from there.

106

You have five nights in the hotel

107

and the price covers five breakfasts and dinners and lunch on the three days when there are organised trips.

108

Day four is free and most people have lunch in a cafe or restaurant in Douglas.

109

The price of a holiday includes the ferry to the Isle of Man, all travel on the island, the hotel and the meals I've mentioned.

110

Incidentally, we try to make booking our holidays as simple and fair as possible.

111

So, unlike with many companies, the price is the same whether you book six months in advance or at the last minute.

112

And there's no supplement for single rooms in hotels.

113

If you make a booking then need to change the start date, for example because of illness,

114

you're welcome to change to an alternative date or a different tour for a small administrative fee.

115

Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.

116

Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.

117

OK, so what does the holiday consist of?

118

Well, on day one, you'll arrive in time for a short introduction by your tour manager, followed by dinner in the hotel.

119

The dining room looks out at the river, close to where it flows into the harbour, and there's usually plenty of activity going on.

120

On day two, you'll take the coach to the small town of Peel, on the way calling in at the Tinwold exhibition.

121

The Isle of Man isn't part of the United Kingdom and it has its own parliament called Tinwold.

122

It's claimed that this is the world's oldest parliament that's still functioning and that it dates back to 979.

123

However, the earliest surviving reference to it is from 1422, so perhaps it isn't quite as old as it claims.

124

Day three, we have a trip to the mountain Snaefell.

125

This begins with a leisurely ride along the promenade in Douglas in a horse-drawn tram.

126

Then you board an electric train, which takes you to the fishing village of Laxey.

127

From there, it's an eight kilometre ride in the Snaefell Mountain Railway to the top.

128

Lunch will be in the cafe, giving you spectacular views of the island.

129

Day 4 is free for you to explore using the pass which we'll give you,

130

so you won't have to pay for travel on local transport or for entrance to the island's heritage sites.

131

Or you might just want to take it easy in Douglas and perhaps do a little light shopping.

132

The last full day, Day 5, is for some people the highlight of the holiday,

133

with a ride on the steam railway from Douglas to Port Erin.

134

After some time to explore, a coach will take you to the headland that overlooks the Calf of Man, a small island just off the coast.

135

From there, you continue to Castletown, which used to be the capital of the Isle of Man and its medieval castle.

136

And on day six, it's back to the ferry, or the airport if you flew to the island, and time to go home.

137

Now, I'd like to tell you a bit more.

138

That is the end of part two.

139

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.

140

Part 3

141

You will hear two psychology students discussing the effects of the order in which the children in a family are born.

142

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.

143

Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.

144

Ed, how are you getting on with the reading for our presentation next week?

145

Well, OK, Ruth, but there's so much of it.

146

I know.

147

I hadn't realised birth order was such a popular area of research.

148

But the stuff on birth order and personality is mostly unreliable.

149

From what I've been reading, a lot of the claims about how your position in the family determines certain personality traits

150

are just stereotypes with no robust evidence to support them.

151

OK, but that's an interesting point.

152

We could start by outlining what previous research has shown.

153

There are studies going back over a hundred years.

154

Yeah, so we could just run through some of the typical traits.

155

Like the consensus seems to be that oldest children are generally less well-adjusted

156

because they never get over the arrival of a younger sibling.

157

Right, but on a positive note, some studies claim that they were thought to be good at nurturing.

158

Certainly in the past, when people had large families, they would have been expected to look after the younger ones.

159

There isn't such a clear picture for middle children.

160

But one trait that a lot of the studies mention is

161

that they are easier to get on with than older or younger siblings.

162

Hmm, generally eager to please and helpful, although that's certainly not accurate as far as my family goes.

163

My middle brother was a nightmare, always causing fights and envious of whatever I had.

164

As I said, none of this seems to relate to my own experience.

165

I'm the youngest in my family and I don't recognise myself in any of the studies I've read about.

166

I'm supposed to have been a sociable and confident child who made friends easily, but I was actually terribly shy.

167

Really?

168

That's funny.

169

There have been hundreds of studies on twins, but mostly about nurture versus nature.

170

There was one on personality which said that a twin is likely to be quite shy in social situations,

171

because they always have their twin around to depend on for support.

172

My cousins were like that when they were small.

173

They were only interested in each other and found it hard to engage with other kids.

174

They're fine now, though.

175

Only children have had a really bad press.

176

A lot of studies have branded them as loners, who think the world revolves around them because they've never had to fight for their parents' attention.

177

That does seem a bit harsh.

178

One category I hadn't considered before was children with much older siblings.

179

A couple of studies mention that these children grow up more quickly and are expected to do basic things for themselves, like getting dressed.

180

I can see how that might be true.

181

Although, I expect they're sometimes the exact opposite playing the baby role and clamouring for special treatment.

182

Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.

183

Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.

184

What was the problem with most of these studies, do you think?

185

I think it was because, in a lot of cases, data was collected from only one sibling per family,

186

who rated him or herself and his or her siblings at the same time.

187

Some of the old research into the relationship between birth order and academic achievement has been proved to be accurate, though.

188

Performances in intelligence tests declined slightly from the eldest child to his or her younger siblings.

189

This has been proved in lots of recent studies.

190

Yes, although what many of them didn't take into consideration was family size.

191

The more siblings there are, the likelier the family is to have a low socioeconomic status, which can also account for differences between siblings in academic performance.

192

The oldest boy might be given more opportunities than his younger sisters, for example.

193

Exactly.

194

But the main reason for the marginally higher academic performance of oldest children is quite surprising, I think.

195

it's not only that they benefit intellectually from extra attention at a young age, which is what I would have expected.

196

It's that they benefit from being teachers for their younger siblings by verbalising processes.

197

Right.

198

And this gives them status and confidence, which again contributes, in a small way, to better performance.

199

So, would you say sibling rivalry has been a useful thing for you?

200

I think so.

201

My younger brother was incredibly annoying, and we fought a lot, but I think this has made me a stronger person.

202

I know how to defend myself.

203

We had some terrible arguments, and I would have died rather than apologise to him.

204

But we had to put up with each other, and most of the time we co-existed amicably enough.

205

Yes, my situation was pretty similar.

206

But I don't think having two older brothers made me any less selfish.

207

I was never prepared to let my brothers use any of my stuff.

208

That's perfectly normal.

209

That is the end of part three.

210

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.

211

Part 4 You will hear a student giving a presentation about a type of tree known as the eucalyptus,

212

which is common in Australia.

213

First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.

214

Thank you.

215

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

216

Today I'm going to talk about the eucalyptus tree.

217

This is a very common tree here in Australia, where it's also sometimes called the gum tree.

218

First, I'm going to talk about why it's important, then I'm going to describe some problems it faces at present.

219

Right, well, the eucalyptus tree is an important tree for lots of reasons.

220

For example, it gives shelter to creatures like birds and bats.

221

And these and other species also depend on it for food, particularly the nectar from its flowers.

222

So, it supports biodiversity.

223

It's useful to us humans too,

224

because we can kill germs with a disinfectant made from oil extracted from eucalyptus leaves.

225

The eucalyptus grows all over Australia, and the trees can live for up to 400 years.

226

So, it's alarming that all across the country,

227

numbers of eucalyptus are falling because the trees are dying off prematurely.

228

So, what are the reasons for this?

229

One possible reason is disease.

230

As far back as the 1970s, the trees started getting a disease called mundula yellows.

231

The tree's leaves would gradually turn yellow, then the tree would die.

232

It wasn't until 2004 that they found the cause of the problem was lime,

233

or calcium hydroxide to give it its proper chemical name, which was being used in the construction of roads.

234

The lime was being washed away into the ground and affecting the roots of the eucalyptus trees nearby.

235

What it was doing was preventing the trees from sucking up the iron they needed for healthy growth.

236

When this was injected back into the affected trees, they immediately recovered.

237

But this problem only affected a relatively small number of trees.

238

By 2000, huge numbers of eucalyptus were dying along Australia's east coast of a disease known as bell minor-associated dieback.

239

The bell minor is a bird, and the disease seems to be common where there are high populations of bell minors.

240

Again, it's the leaves of the trees that are affected.

241

What happens is that insects settle on the leaves and eat their way round them, destroying them as they go,

242

and at the same time they secrete a solution which has sugar in it.

243

The bell miner birds really like this solution, and in order to get as much as possible,

244

they keep away other creatures that might try to get it.

245

So these birds and insects flourish at the expense of other species,

246

and eventually so much damage is done to the leaves that the tree dies.

247

But experts say that trees can start looking sick before any sign of bell minor-associated dieback.

248

So it looks as if the problem might have another explanation.

249

One possibility is that it's to do with the huge bushfires that we have in Australia.

250

A theory proposed over 40 years ago by ecologist William Jackson is

251

that the frequency of bushfires in a particular region affects the type of vegetation that grows there.

252

If there are very frequent bushfires in a region, this encourages grass to grow afterwards,

253

Well, if the bushfires are rather less frequent, this results in the growth of eucalyptus forests.

254

So why is this?

255

Why do fairly frequent bushfires actually support the growth of eucalyptus?

256

Well, one reason is that the fire stops the growth of other species which would consume water needed by eucalyptus trees. And there's another reason.

257

If these other quick-growing species of bushes and plants are allowed to proliferate,

258

they harm the eucalyptus in another way, by affecting the composition of the soil and removing nutrients from it.

259

So some bushfires are actually essential for the eucalyptus to survive, as long as they are not too frequent.

260

In fact, there's evidence

261

that Australia's indigenous people practised regular burning of bushland for thousands of years before the arrival of the Europeans.

262

But since Europeans arrived on the continent, the number of bushfires has been strictly controlled.

263

Now, scientists believe that this reduced frequency of bushfires to low levels has led to what's known as dry rainforest,

264

which seems an odd name as usually we associate tropical rainforest with wet conditions.

265

And what's special about this type of rainforest?

266

Well, unlike tropical rainforest, which is a rich ecosystem, this type of ecosystem is usually a simple one.

267

It has very thick, dense vegetation, but not much variety of species.

268

The vegetation provides lots of shade, so one species that does find it ideal is the bell minor bird,

269

which builds its nests in the undergrowth there.

270

But again, that's not helpful for the eucalyptus tree.

271

That is the end of part four.

272

You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.

273

Thank you.

274

That is the end of the listening test.

275

In the IELTS test, you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
