1
Part 1 Now turns to part 1.
2
Part 1.
3
You will hear a male student talking to a union representative about placing an advertisement to sell a laptop.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
5
Now the test will begin.
6
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
7
Listen carefully and answer questions one to five.
8
Hi, I'm Debbie.
9
How can I help?
10
Hi, my name's David.
11
I'm just looking to place an advertisement on the main union notice board to sell a laptop
12
and a few accessories if that's possible.
13
Sure, that's not a problem.
14
I take it you are a member of the students' union?
15
Yes, I am.
16
Right then.
17
I'll just get a form up, and as there is no one around, and it looks as if it's going to be quiet for a while, I'll just type the details straight into the computer for you.
18
Thanks very much.
19
No problem.
20
Shall we just title it, Laptop for Sale?
21
Yeah, okay.
22
Can you describe it generally?
23
Well, it's in very good condition.
24
In fact, it's hardly been used.
25
Why are you selling it, if I may ask?
26
Well, I've got another one which is much lighter and I don't really need two.
27
I see.
28
What weight is the one you're selling?
29
It's 3.5 kilograms.
30
That is heavy these days.
31
Can you give more details about the one you want to sell?
32
Right.
33
Well, it's an Allegro and it's got all the latest programs.
34
Okay.
35
What about the memory?
36
The memory is only 0.5 gigabytes.
37
And what about the screen size and the other features?
38
Well, the screen is, let's see,
39
it's 37.5 centimeters with a standard size keyboard and a touchpad.
40
But I've got a cordless mouse that I can put in with it if necessary.
41
Some people don't like using a touchpad.
42
What about ports or holes for attaching things to the laptop?
43
It's got two ports.
44
Hmm, more modern laptops have more than two ports for all the extra attachments.
45
They do.
46
Let's see, what else is important?
47
Oh yeah, the battery lasts for two and a half hours, which is okay, but not enough for long train journeys.
48
But one thing is that it's not wireless.
49
Right, okay, not wireless.
50
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
51
Thank you.
52
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
53
Anything else I can put on the advertisement?
54
There's a webcam built at the top of the screen, and I can throw in a printer, a scanner, and headphones, which I got with it in a special deal.
55
It also comes with its own case for carrying it around.
56
Actually, the case is quite smart.
57
I'm hoping these things will help it sell.
58
They should do.
59
Right, I think I've got all that.
60
How much do you want for it?
61
That I'm not sure about.
62
It's worth about £900 to £1,000 new.
63
Yeah, but you won't get that much if it's used, and even if it's in good condition.
64
What about £500?
65
I doubt if you'd get as much as that.
66
More like £200 or £300.
67
If you look at the notice board, there is one on there which is comparable to yours, and it's not more than about 250 pounds, I think.
68
As little as that.
69
I'm afraid so.
70
Shall we say 300 pounds?
71
OK, put that.
72
Can I take some contact details for the advert?
73
The name's David Bristow.
74
B-R-I-S-T-O-W.
75
Yes, that's it.
76
And mobile or email?
77
Both, if you want.
78
It's D-I-B underscore 7791 at hotmail.com.
79
OK, and the mobile?
80
That's 09875 423387.
81
That's it.
82
If you send the picture, I'll add it and print it out and stick it up for you.
83
OK, I can get that to you today.
84
Right, I'll type in here, advert placed the 22nd of October.
85
Fine, and good luck with the sale.
86
Thanks.
87
That is the end of section one.
88
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
89
Now turns to part two.
90
Cut to.
91
You will hear a speech given by the head of a company to some new employees.
92
You have 30 seconds to look at questions 11 to 16.
93
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
94
First of all, a warm welcome to Barker's Country Safaris.
95
We're delighted to have you all on board for this season.
96
I know you've all been told a bit about the company when you had your job interview, but I thought it would be worth telling you a bit more about ourselves.
97
Barker's was set up 10 years ago by myself, John, and my then girlfriend and now wife, Nancy.
98
We started it initially just as a hobby.
99
We felt
100
that there was a good opportunity to share our love of
101
the countryside in this part of the world with the many visitors who come here.
102
As you know, most people come for the beaches in the summer, but there is so much more to the region, and this is what we wanted to exploit.
103
Nancy and I were born near here, and as teenagers, we went climbing,
104
kayaking, whitewater rafting, potholing and just straightforward walking.
105
This district is in our blood and we love it.
106
While we were still at university, we started taking small groups of visitors out into the national park in Nancy's brother's old Land Rover.
107
We'd drive them around the back lanes and into the forest.
108
We'd also organise rock climbing tours for friends of friends.
109
Then each year, without us having to advertise, people came back to us to ask for more excursions and trips.
110
So, five years ago we gave up our other jobs to focus full-time on Barker's Country Safaris.
111
Two years after that, we set up the activity tour part of the business,
112
and one year ago we expanded into organising activities for school groups during term time.
113
Obviously, this was a massive challenge with all the health and safety requirements, but it's proving a great success.
114
Now listen carefully and answer questions 17 to 20.
115
Anyway, we'll certainly not be dealing with school parties during the summer holidays.
116
Our clients for the next three months are mostly family parties
117
or groups of friends and I'd like to talk a bit now about the tours we offer
118
and what your responsibilities will be.
119
Our most popular excursion is the Woodland Tour and Trail.
120
Often this is sold out and we have all of our 10 jeeps and convoy with 8 people in each jeep.
121
It's a lot of fun.
122
These tours really offer a taster of what we can provide.
123
So as both driver and guide, it is important that you do a good job here so they come back for the bigger tours.
124
I will talk about the commission package later.
125
As the summer days are so long, we have three tours each day, but you will not be expected to work on more than two of them.
126
Morning tours start at 8am and go to midday
127
Afternoon tours are from 2pm to 6pm And then evening ones 7pm to 11pm
128
All the tours follow the same route
129
And you should have made yourselves familiar with all the key
130
information This was provided to you in the information pack you were sent when you accepted the job offer This is important,
131
so if you haven't had time yet please do so now.
132
Our second most popular tour is the family exclusive.
133
This tour is for the whole day and for only one group.
134
Usually it is just one jeep but sometimes there are two if the party is large.
135
These tours go from 10am till 5pm and include lunch at the Brown Bear in Lower Middleton.
136
We have a number of different routes for these tours as
137
we don't want our premium clients being made to feel that they are part of a large package deal.
138
You will be told which route to take with your weekly schedule.
139
Now, I'd like to move on to these specialty tour packages.
140
These are the ones that we are keen to book people on once they've done the woodland tour and trail trip.
141
That is the end of part two.
142
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
143
Now turns to part three.
144
Part three.
145
You will hear three students discussing a program of activities for new students at a college.
146
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
147
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
148
So you were both on last year's orientation course then.
149
How did it go?
150
I loved it.
151
The activities were well organised and I met people from all over the world.
152
Yes, it was useful.
153
And you think I should sign up for this year's course?
154
Yes, definitely.
155
Apart from being fun, it really does prepare you for all the things you have to do in your first couple of weeks.
156
In fact, one of the most useful things was chatting to people who'd already been there for a year, so-called senior students.
157
They'd been on the orientation course the year before last and recommended it to us.
158
Oh, and there was a great atmosphere at the formal dinner too.
159
It was so colourful with people in their traditional dress from Asia, Africa, South America.
160
It was one of the high points of the whole week.
161
That was right at the end, of course.
162
The first thing they did on the Monday was take us on a guided tour of the Students' Union.
163
And after that they took us round the city centre, showing us things like the bus station, the main shop...
164
And the best pubs.
165
Right, so it was very worthwhile.
166
Yes, though maybe they could have taken us to a better nightclub.
167
The music at the place we went to was lousy.
168
That's a matter of taste, surely?
169
Well, anyway, the next day they showed us round everything on the campus.
170
And believe me, it was everything.
171
You must have walked miles.
172
I could have done with less information on every building in sight, given that I'll probably never need to go into half of them,
173
and a bit more on places everyone's likely to use at some time or other, like the sports block, the health centre, the bicycle and car parks.
174
Which reminds me, there was an afternoon session on how to drive in this country, which seemed to me a bit weird, you know, for a university course.
175
I suppose it's because there have been accidents involving students who aren't used to people driving on the left.
176
I was there, actually.
177
How was it?
178
Well, I must say I was a bit disappointed.
179
There were some useful driving tips, but it might have been more helpful if it had included stuff for pedestrians.
180
How to avoid getting run over, for example.
181
You didn't go to the session on safety then?
182
No. Well, apparently that dealt with road safety for pedestrians, along with lots of other aspects of course.
183
I wasn't there myself, but that might be something worth going to, Julia.
184
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
185
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
186
I like the sound of the whole thing.
187
Tell me, what's the accommodation like?
188
Do you have a room to yourself or do you have to share?
189
What do you have to take with you?
190
For the orientation course, you'll have an individual room in one of the halls of residence.
191
That'll be a different hall from the one you're booked into for the year.
192
But they're both on the campus, so you won't have far to go.
193
And you won't have to take much with you.
194
The room will have chairs, table, wardrobe, bed, mattress, blankets, sheets and so on.
195
Take a warm coat or jacket, though.
196
It may well rain, and it's unlikely to reach even 20 degrees in late September.
197
But it shouldn't drop below about 10, at least during the day, which is something, I suppose.
198
Right.
199
Now, I know they can't do much about the weather, but did you have the feeling that they were looking after you on the course?
200
Yes, we did.
201
There were some little touches that showed they'd thought about what it was like to be starting a course of study abroad.
202
Such as?
203
Well, it's just a small example, but they gave us free email access to contact people at home.
204
30 minutes, if I remember correctly.
205
Actually, I think it was 20.
206
Yes, you're right.
207
I was on for over half an hour and paid for an extra 10 or 15 minutes.
208
Not that it was much.
209
Emails don't take long to write anyway.
210
No, they don't.
211
So, just one more thing.
212
The timetable.
213
When does the course actually start and finish?
214
Well, a lot of people get there on the Sunday, though you'd have to find a room for an extra night, as the course accommodation is only booked from the Monday, when things get going.
215
Then they'll keep you busy all week until the dinner on the Friday.
216
And that's it, is it?
217
Yes.
218
There's nothing after that.
219
Though most people stay over till Saturday, partly to recover from the party, but also because they can then move straight into their permanent rooms.
220
I think I'll do that.
221
Well, thanks a lot for all your advice.
222
I'm sure I'll enjoy the course.
223
I wish I could go on this year's too.
224
That is the end of Section 3.
225
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
226
Now turns to part 4.
227
Part 4.
228
You will hear a biology lecture about tubularia.
229
First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
230
Thank you.
231
I'm glad so many people have shown up here today to hear about these fascinating little creatures called the Turbilaria.
232
My name is Dr. Baker, and I've spent 20 years researching thousands of different species of platyhelminths,
233
what are commonly known as flatworms, both free-living and parasitic.
234
So there are a lot of things I could tell you about these extremely interesting invertebrate, but I will try to keep it short.
235
Turbularia are unique amongst flatworms in three ways.
236
The first one is that, unlike 80% of all platyhelminths, Turbularia do not need to secure nourishment from a living source source.
237
This means that they do not generally parasitize a host, but are instead found living freely in the environment.
238
So no need to worry about any of these little samples I've got here escaping and causing havoc.
239
The second way in which they're different is that they are, well, they're incredibly simple.
240
And by simple I don't mean in terms of structure, as their structure is indeed quite complex and I'll get to that later.
241
By simple I mean that they're not the brightest bulbs in the box.
242
Flatworms in general are not known for their cognitive abilities, especially when compared with other invertebrates such as cuttlefish or octopuses or even insects.
243
But amongst flatworms, turbularia are by far the most primitive of the bunch.
244
Finally, and this is a direct result of the first thing I mentioned, turbularia tend to have a much more complicated sensory system in their head region.
245
This includes a set of eyes with receptors
246
that can detect light as well as chemical sensory organs that assist turbularia in locating food.
247
Obviously, as other flatworms receive nutrition directly from their host, they have no need for this.
248
Despite these three differences, however, turbularia are quite similar to other flatworms in all sorts of other ways.
249
First of all, as their name suggests, they're incredibly flat, which allows them to hide under stones.
250
They're symmetrical on both sides and they don't have a body cavity.
251
They also don't have any specialized respiratory, skeletal, and circulatory systems.
252
What they do have however, and this is what I meant when I referenced their structure before, is three layers known as the endoderm,
253
the mesoderm, and the ectoderm, as well as a head region where their brain and sense organs are located,
254
and a spongy connective tissue that fills all the space between their organs.
255
Finally, like most species of flatworms, they're hermaphrodites.
256
This means that a single flatworm has a set of each gender.
257
But don't take this to mean they reproduce alone.
258
Their preferred method of reproduction is called cross-fertilization, which means that each flatworm fertilizes the other.
259
I mentioned before that most flatworms need a host, but Turbillaria feed from the environment.
260
So what do they feed on?
261
Most Turbillaria can be found either in fresh or salt water, and they feed on small insects, microscopic matter, and crustaceans.
262
They will pretty much eat anything they find.
263
They have no preference on whether their food is living or dead.
264
Also, and this is the most remarkable part about their eating habits,
265
if they ever find themselves in a situation where food is scarce, they might also feed on themselves.
266
That's right, they'll start eating their own body, starting with the least essential muscles and organs and working their way up.
267
They will shrink in size until they're able to find food again, at which point they'll begin to regenerate everything they've lost.
268
One final thing about food, and apologies in advance if I discussed you, Turbularia don't possess an anus, which means that their mouth,
269
which is a muscular opening on the underside of their body has to serve as one.
270
Before I finish this presentation, one more thing you've probably heard before but weren't sure if it was a myth or not.
271
I mentioned already that Turbularia can reproduce on their own, but there's a second method they can use, which is known as fission.
272
Now, as a child, you were probably told that if you cut a worm in half, it will grow into two new worms.
273
That's not entirely true, but flatworms are not worms exactly, and they do have the ability to regenerate by splitting into two,
274
perhaps even more smaller parts, at which point each part regrows the missing organs and becomes a brand new Turbularian.
275
Now this is extremely important for us, and this is how I'd like to close this presentation, because their ability to regenerate endlessly makes them virtually immortal,
276
and it might open pathways to regeneration in human cells or slowing the human aging process, which is why scientists like myself have been studying these unique
277
creatures hoping to get some answers thank you for listening
278
and please come along to see me and my samples
279
if you have any further questions
280
that is the end of part four you now have half a minute to check your answers
281
The End
282
I'm going to get my hands on me
283
I love
284
you, too, too I love you.

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.
