1
Section 1.
2
You will hear a conversation between the director of a childcare centre and a parent enrolling her child in the centre.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
4
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
5
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
6
Good morning.
7
Welcome to the Early Learning Child Care Centre.
8
How may I help you?
9
Hi.
10
I spoke to you last week about enrolling my daughter for next year.
11
Oh, yes.
12
I'll just get some details from you.
13
So, you're her mother?
14
That's right.
15
And can I have your name?
16
It's Carol.
17
Carol Smith.
18
The parent's name is Carol Smith, so Smith has been written in the space.
19
Now we shall begin.
20
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
21
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
22
Good morning.
23
Welcome to the Early Learning Child Care Centre.
24
How may I help you?
25
Hi.
26
I spoke to you last week about enrolling my daughter for next year.
27
Oh, yes.
28
I'll just get some details from you.
29
So, you're her mother?
30
That's right.
31
And can I have your name?
32
It's Carol.
33
Carol Smith.
34
And your daughter's name?
35
It's Kate.
36
Now, we have several groups at the centre and we cater for children from three to five years old.
37
How old is your daughter?
38
She's three now but she turns four next month.
39
I'll put four down because that's how old she'll be when she starts.
40
Fine.
41
She's so excited about her birthday and coming to the centre.
42
That's good to hear.
43
And what's your address?
44
It's 46 Wombat Road.
45
That's W-O-M-B-A-T.
46
Woodside 4032.
47
And what's the phone number?
48
Oh, it's 3345 9865.
49
So, have you decided on the days you would like to bring your daughter here?
50
I'd prefer Monday and Wednesday if possible.
51
Hmm, I'll check.
52
Monday's fine, but I think the centre is already full for Wednesday.
53
Ah, yes.
54
Sorry, it seems to be a very popular day.
55
We can offer you a Thursday or a Friday as well.
56
Oh dear.
57
I suppose Thursday would be alright because she has swimming on Friday.
58
OK, got that.
59
Because a lot of parents work, we do offer flexible start and finish times.
60
We're open from 7.30 in the morning until 6 o'clock at night.
61
What time would you like your daughter to start?
62
I need to get to work in the city by 9, so I'll drop her off at 8.30.
63
You're pretty close to the city here, so that should give me plenty of time to get there.
64
That's fine.
65
Now, we also need to decide which group she'll be in.
66
We have two different groups, and they're divided up according to age.
67
There's the green group, which is for 3- to 4-year-olds, and then there's the red group, which is for 4- to 5-year-olds.
68
She's quite mature for her age and she can already write her name and read a little.
69
Well, I'll put her in the red group
70
and we can always change her to the green one if there are any problems.
71
That sounds fine.
72
OK, let's move on to meals.
73
We can provide breakfast, lunch and dinner.
74
As she's finishing pretty early, she won't need dinner.
75
Will you give her breakfast before she comes?
76
Yes, she'll only need lunch.
77
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
78
Now, listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
79
Now, does she have any medical conditions we need to know about?
80
Does she have asthma or any hearing problems, for example?
81
No, but she does need to wear glasses.
82
Oh, I'll make a note of that.
83
Yeah, she's pretty good about wearing them.
84
She can't see much without them.
85
Right.
86
OK.
87
Now, I also need emergency contact details.
88
So what sort of information do you need?
89
Just the name and number of a friend
90
or family member we can contact in case we can't get hold of you at any time.
91
OK.
92
That'd better be my sister, Jenny Ball.
93
That's B-A-L-L.
94
Her phone number is 3346 7523.
95
Great.
96
So, she is the child's aunt?
97
Yes, that's right.
98
I'll make a note of that as well.
99
Now, is there anything you'd like to ask?
100
What about payment?
101
How much are the fees each term?
102
Well, for two days in the hours you've chosen, that will be $450 altogether.
103
OK.
104
And do I have to pay that now?
105
No. We send out invoices once the children start at the centre.
106
You can choose to pay at the end of each term, or we do offer a slightly discounted rate if you pay every month.
107
Oh, I'll do that then.
108
I find it easier to budget that way, and I'm not used to the term dates just yet.
109
Good.
110
It makes it a lot simpler for us as well.
111
Well, that's everything.
112
Would you like me to show you around the centre?
113
That is the end of Section 1.
114
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
115
Good morning.
116
Welcome to the Early Learning Child Care Centre.
117
How may I help you?
118
Hi.
119

120

121

122

123
That's right.
124
And can I have your name?
125

126

127
The parent's name is Carol Smith, so Smith has been written in the space.
128

Real-Life Enrollment: A Parent-Care Centre Conversation
Imagine walking into a childcare centre to enroll your child—this is exactly the scenario in the video. The dialogue between a parent and the centre director is packed with everyday language you’d use in similar situations: sharing names, ages, addresses, and scheduling preferences. It’s a perfect example of how English works in real, practical settings, making it ideal for practicing conversational skills.
Useful Chunks & Collocations to Remember
- "enrolling my daughter for next year": A common phrase for signing up a child for a program. Notice how "enrolling" pairs with "for" to specify the time frame.
- "cater for children from three to five years old": "Cater for" means to provide for a specific group, a useful term in service contexts.
- "put four down because that's how old she'll be when she starts": "Put down" is a casual way to say "write down," and the structure "because that's how old she'll be when..." is great for explaining future circumstances.
- "prefer Monday and Wednesday if possible": A polite way to state scheduling preferences, using "if possible" to soften the request.
Your Shadowing Challenge: Try Shadowspeak Now
Shadowing—also called shadowspeak or shadow speech—is a powerful way to improve pronunciation and fluency. Here’s your task: Play the video’s dialogue, pause after each line, and repeat it immediately, mimicking the tone, speed, and stress. Focus on phrases like "46 Wombat Road" (practice the clear pronunciation of the address) and "She's three now but she turns four next month" (notice the natural rhythm). For extra practice, visit a shadowing site to find more videos like this—learn English with videos and turn passive listening into active speaking. This is how shadowspeaks becomes second nature!

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
