88
Write one word or a number or a date or a time.
89
Look at questions 6 to 10 now.
90
You have 10 seconds.
91
You will hear a museum guide talking to a group of students.
92
Welcome to the Museum of the Natural World.
93
I know most of you are interested in the new dinosaur exhibition, so I will take you there first.
94
The tour will take one hour.
95
Afterwards, you can look at the rainforest and the countryside exhibitions by yourselves.
96
Don't forget that your coach leaves at 11am.
97
So you have three hours in total for your visit.
98
There are guidebooks for sale at the information desk.
99
Please remember you cannot take photographs in the museum.
100
Of course, you may write down information in your notebooks if you like.
101
Next year, we will have a new exhibition on technology and the natural world.
102
We were hoping to have it ready by March 13th.
103
Unfortunately, it will now open a month later on April 12th, a week before the school holidays, which start on April 20th.
104
We hope you will visit us again.
105
When you leave the museum today, please remember to collect your coats from the entrance hall.
106
Enjoy your visit.
107
Now listen again.
108
Welcome to the Museum of the Natural World.
109
I know most of you are interested in the new dinosaur exhibition, so I will take you there first.
110
The tour will take one hour.
111
Afterwards, you can look at the rainforest and the countryside exhibitions by yourselves.
112
Don't forget that your coach leaves at 11am, so you have three hours in total for your visit.
113

114

116

117

122
Part 3 For each question, choose the correct answer.
123
Look at questions 11 to 15 now.
124
You have 20 seconds.
125
You will hear Alan talking to his mum about a new teacher at school.
126
We've got a new teacher for maths, mum.
127
I hope he'll be better than the last one.
128
But mum, he was so popular.
129
I'm not surprised.
130
Teachers who forget to ask their students to do their homework are always popular.
131
But my grades were good last term.
132
That's because you always study hard.
133
I suppose so.
134
Anyway, do you like your new teacher?
135
He seems nice, but I don't always understand when he explains things in class.
136
Maybe maths is more difficult this term.
137
Yes, it is.
138
But I think our teacher is the problem.
139
Why?
140
He spends a lot of time explaining things, but he just speaks too fast.
141
Why doesn't someone tell him that?
142
He's new, and the other students are afraid to say anything.
143
If you like, I can say something.
144
But not to him, right?
145
No, to the head teacher.
146
Do you really think that's a good idea?
147
Yes.
148
That way he'll know there's a problem.
149
Why don't we leave it a week or two?
150
How will that help?
151
Maybe he's afraid because he's still new.
152
That could explain why he speaks so fast.
153
You may be right.
154
If things don't improve after two weeks, I'll go and talk to the head teacher.
155
Okay then, Mum.
156
Now listen again.
157
We've got a new teacher for maths, Mum.
158
I hope he'll be better than the last one.
159
But Mum, he was so popular.
160
I'm not surprised.
161
Teachers who forget to ask their students to do their homework are always popular.
162
But my grades were good last term.
163
That's because you always study hard.
164
I suppose so.
165
Anyway, do you like your new teacher?
166
He seems nice, but I don't always understand when he explains things in class.
167
Maybe maths is more difficult this term.
168
Yes, it is.
169
But I think our teacher is the problem.
170
Why?
171
He spends a lot of time explaining things, but he just speaks too fast.
172
Why doesn't someone tell him that?
173
He's new, and the other students are afraid to say anything.
174
If you like, I can say something.
175
But not to him, right?
176
No, to the head teacher.
177
Do you really think that's a good idea?
178
Yes, that way he'll know there's a problem.
179
Why don't we leave it a week or two?
180
How will that help?
181
Maybe he's afraid because he's still new.
182
That could explain why he speaks so fast.
183
You may be right.
184
If things don't improve after two weeks, I'll go and talk to the head teacher.
185
Okay then, Mum.
186
Part 4 For each question, choose the correct answer.
187
16. You will hear a mum talking to her son.
188
Where were they a few minutes ago?
189
Have you got everything you need from the supermarket, Gary?
190
Yes, mum.
191
I didn't get the chocolate cake, however.
192
It's too expensive, isn't it?
193
Yes, but it's still popular.
194
There was none left on the shelf.
195
Never mind.
196
I'm sure you have some at home.
197
We just left the place.
198
We haven't got time now to go somewhere else.
199
Yes, I know.
200
You need to collect my sister from school.
201
Now listen again.
202
Have you got everything you need from the supermarket, Gary?
203
Yes, Mum.

It's too expensive, isn't it?
206
Yes, but it's still popular.
207

208

213
You need to collect my sister from school.
214
17. You will hear two friends talking.
215
Why is the boy going to Bob's house?
216
Are you going to football practice, Harry?
217
No, I can't today.
218
Why?
219
Are you busy doing this new school project?
220
You know me, I only study when I have to.
221
So, where are you going? To Bob's house.
222
I think I left my sports kit there, so I have to find it first.
223
If I don't, at least we'll play some computer games at the internet cafe.
224
Now listen again.
225
Are you going to football practice, Harry?
226
No, I can't today.
227
Why?
228
Are you busy doing this new school project?
229
You know me, I only study when I have to.

Eighteen.
235
You will hear a husband and wife talking.
236
Why doesn't the woman want the ring?
237
What a beautiful ring.
238
But I'm sure it's expensive, Bob.
239
I'll buy it for you, Mary.
240
Thank you, but I don't think it's a good idea.
241
Why not?
242
I do a lot of washing up every day.
243
Take off your ring before you put on your washing up gloves.
244
That way it will always be nice.
245
But I'm afraid that way I'll lose it.
246
Okay then, how about a necklace?
247
Now listen again.
248
What a beautiful ring!
249
But I'm sure it's expensive, Bob.
250
I'll buy it for you, Mary.
251
Thank you, but I don't think it's a good idea.
252
Why not?
253
I do a lot of washing up every day.
254
Take off your ring before you put on your washing up gloves.
255
That way it will always be nice.
256
But I'm afraid that way I'll lose it.
257
Okay then, how about a necklace?
258
19. You will hear a girl talking about her plans for the next month.
259
Why can't she go to the school party?
260
Sorry, Abdul, but I can't come to the school party next month.
261
I know it'll be fun, but if I have a late night, I won't be able to wake up early the next day.
262
I know that we don't need to go to school because the holiday starts then, but my parents have booked a flight to Paris for the whole family.
263
It isn't an early flight, but the bus to the airport leaves really early.
264
Now listen again.

Yes.

I really think we should phone the post office.
275
My parents have tried a few times.
276
Every time they say they'll do something about it.
277
I don't understand why this is happening.
278
The addresses are clearly written on the envelopes.
279
Do you think this is happening to other people as well?

What things will each student bring to the class?
297
Hi, Bill.

What are you bringing to the show-and-tell class?
299
We have to show and talk about something from the past, don't we?
300
That's right.
301
You could bring that interesting camera that your dad has.
302
It has a printer with it, doesn't it?

Yes, if I wear gloves when I show it.
310
Great.
311
What's Anne bringing, then?
312
A newspaper printed the year she was born.
313
That's nice, but I prefer Jane's idea.
314
Everyone writes a diary.
315
It's more interesting, as her mum wrote it at school.
316
Okay then, what about Tanya?
317
She'll bring an old comic book.
318
Jane's mum has seen it and she liked it a lot.
319
Nice.

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.
