Listening three.
109
One.
110
What's the airport like in your town?
111
Well, it's only a short distance from the centre of town, so that's good.
112
Yes.
113
And it's pretty easy to get there.
114
It only costs about $25 by taxi.
115
Or you can take a bus from most of the hotels.
116
Is it a big airport?
117
It's fairly big, but it's not a very pleasant place to spend time.
118
How come?
119
There isn't much to do there.
120
They really should put in some stores and cafes. That would help.
121
Luckily, you don't have to spend much time there
122
because it usually only takes about 15 minutes to check in and go through security.
123
Two.
124
What's the new airport like?
125
It's fantastic.
126
Much better than the old one.
127
Is it far from town?
128
Not really.
129
It's only about 15 miles from the city, so it doesn't take long to get there.
130
That's good.
131
Yes, now we can get out there on a fast train, which makes the trip very comfortable.
132
How nice.
133

It's almost like a big shopping mall.
135
There are department stores, shops, a game center, and even a gym.
136
It sounds great.
137
Yeah, it is.
138
The only trouble is it's always very crowded, so it can take a while to get through check-in.
139
They really need to add some more check-in counters to speed things up.
140
Three.
141
Is the new airport close to town?
142
Yeah, really close.
143
Does it take long to get to the airport?
144
Well, you have to go by taxi or train, so it depends on how long it takes you to get a taxi.
145
There are never enough taxis that will go to the airport, so you have to wait for a while.
146
You can go by train, but it's not very easy to get on when you're carrying bags.
147
There really should be a bus service into town.
148
I agree.
149
Yeah, but once you get there, it's OK.
150
There are lots of good duty-free stores and the restaurants are pretty good.

158
The city really needs to build a new airport that is closer to the city.
159
Do you usually drive to the airport?
160
No. I usually take the airport bus.
161
The bus is pretty nice.
162
It's clean and comfortable, and it's a lot cheaper than driving because you don't have to pay for parking.
163
Is there much to do while you wait for your flight?
164
Sure.
165
There are a couple of stores that sell souvenirs and magazines.
166
There are also a couple of fast food places, and they're fine for coffee and a sandwich.
167
How long does it take to check in?
168
It doesn't take long.

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.
