1
Now turn to section 1.
2
Section 1.
3
You will hear a conversation between a clerk at the help desk of a transport
4
and travel agency and a woman who is asking for travel information.
5
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
6
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
7
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
8
Good morning.
9
Good morning, madam.
10
How can I help you?
11
Well, I'd like to get Camden Town from Highgate Village tomorrow before 10am.
12
Did you say Highgate Park or Highgate Village?
13
I said Highgate Village from Camden Town.
14
You sure?
15
Yes, I should know where I'm going.
16
Right, so Highgate Village from Camden Town.
17
No, no, sorry, I should have said Camden Town from Highgate Village.
18
That's what I thought you said.
19
And how are you planning to get there, by bus or train?
20
The woman wants to go to Camden Town.
21
So, Camden Town has been written in the space.
22
Now we shall begin.
23
You should answer the questions as you listen,
24
because you will not hear the recording a second time.
25
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
26
Good morning.
27
Good morning, madam.
28
How can I help you? you?
29
Well, I'd like to get to Camden Town from Highgate Village tomorrow, before 10am.
30
Did you say Highgate Park or Highgate Village?
31
I said Highgate Village from Camden Town.
32
You sure?
33
Yes, I should know where I'm going.
34
Right, so Highgate Village from Camden Town.
35
No, sorry, I should have said Camden Town from Highgate Village.
36
That's what I thought you said.
37
And how are you planning to get there, by bus or train?
38
Oh, it doesn't bother me which way I travel as long as I get there sooner rather than later.
39
Well, if you take a fast train,
40
you'll get there in under an hour.
41
Now, there's a King's Cross Express train leaving the station at 8.30 from Platform 9.
42
How does that sound?
43
Great.
44
Which station does that leave from?
45
King's Cross.
46
It's the railway station nearest to you.
47
Did you say King's Crossed?
48
No, King's Cross.
49
That's C-R-O-S-S.
50
Are you not from round here?
51
No, it's my first time in England, I'm afraid.
52
So, could you point out the best way to get to King's Cross Station?
53
Yes, of course I could.
54
Just give me a second to look it up.
55
Right, well, it looks like you have two options.
56
You could take the 999 bus from the Highgate Village Central Square to Gower Street Underground Station.
57
At Gower Street, take a train to King's Cross.
58
Alternatively, you could walk to Gower Street and get straight on the train going to King's Cross.
59
Go to Platform 6 on the Northern Line.
60
How long would the walk take?
61
About half an hour or so.
62
Oh no, that's too long.
63
I don't want to be walking around streets I don't know for half an hour.
64
Actually, the walk there is not complicated.
65
Just go down Holloway Road until you come across Gower Street.
66
The road, not the station.
67
On your right.
68
The station is about five minutes walk up the road on your left.
69
That does sound easy.
70
It'll be better for me to get some exercise as well.
71
What time do I catch the tube?
72
There are trains every five minutes,
73
so it doesn't really matter what time you get there from that point of view.
74
However, it might be very busy at that time in the morning,
75
so you may want to get there early just in case.
76
Sometimes the trains are too full to take everyone waiting on the platform.
77
If I were you, I'd get there for seven o'clock.
78
Seven o'clock.
79
OK.
80
Well, thank you very much.
81
You've been most helpful.
82
Before listening to the rest of the conversation,
83
you have some time to look at
84
questions 6 to 10.
85
You're welcome.
86
Is there anything else I can do for you?
87
Actually, yes.
88
How much will it cost me?
89
Well, you can get a ticket on the bus for £2 and you'll need £11 each way for the train.
90
Unless, that is, you have an international student travel card.
91
No, I haven't, but I can probably get one before tomorrow.
92
Well, that's good, because that will cut the cost of travelling right down.
93
The bus will cost £1.40 each way,
94
and the train to Camden Town...
95
Actually, I'm sorry, I was mistaken.
96
There's no discount offered when travelling during morning peak time,
97
so I'm afraid it will still cost you £11.
98
But you'll probably want to return after peak hours, won't you?
99
So your return train ticket might cost you considerably less.
100
What are off-peak hours, then?
101
Either before 5 o'clock in the afternoon or after 8 o'clock in the evening.
102
Oh good.
103
I've no intention of coming back until long after 9,
104
so that'll work out nicely.
105
So, what discount will I get?
106
Your return train journey will only cost you £6.05 with your card.
107
But do make sure you don't forget to buy an international student travel card before 7am tomorrow.
108
Oh, I won't forget.
109
In fact, I'll get one today as soon as possible.
110
Well, good for you.
111
Is there anything else I can help you with?
112
Actually there is.
113
Do you know if I can use my International Student Card on boats?
114
Well, if you're thinking of the regular Thames boats that go back and forth between the East and West Bank,
115
then the answer is yes.
116
But you can't use it on the tourist ferries linking the North and South Banks, I'm afraid.
117
A one-way trip east or west of the Thames costs £6,
118
but with your card you'd make a 20% saving and pay only £4.80.
119
So, £4.80 for the regular ferry.
120
Do the ferries linking the North and South Banks offer sightseeing tours?
121
Yes, but like I said,
122
there's no discount offered on those.
123
And you can only book using cash or credit card.
124
But I can't book them for you.
125
We don't work with them.
126
Oh, I see.
127
You wouldn't happen to know the cost of a tour by any chance, would you?
128
In actual fact, I do,
129
because I took my girlfriend on the trip three weeks ago.
130
We bought the half day tour and that was £45 each.
131
But I'm told that you can do the whole day for £75.
132
Well, thank you again.
133
You really have been most helpful.
134
Don't mention it.
135
Have a nice day now.
136
That's the end of section 1.
137
You have half a minute to check your answers.
138
Now turn to section 2.
139
Section 2.
140
You will hear a university counsellor talking to a group of students.
141
First, you will have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
142
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
143
Hello everyone, I'm the Counselling Administrator here at King's College
144
and I've been asked to come and talk to you about our counselling team and the services that we offer.
145
The University Counselling Service is available to all our students and it is free of charge.
146
It is our belief that if you can function well psychologically
147
then you will find it easier to fulfil your potential both personally and academically.
148
Our services include email counselling.
149
We believe it is helpful to be able to write down your issues
150
and see your own words so you can reflect on them and do so in your own time.
151
Face-to-face individual counselling.
152
We believe it is beneficial to talk about your issues in person at a pre-scheduled appointment time for 50 minutes.
153
Group therapy
154
Particularly valuable if you want to consider how you function in relation to others
155
and if you are keen to invest in long-term personal development.
156
Self-help resources Helpful if you are interested in finding out more about your issues and seeking strategies to help yourself.
157
Accessible 24-7 and with links to a range of resources.
158
Specific Issue Workshops
159
Suitable
160
if you want to learn about specific issues in a supportive
161
learning environment with a small group of others who are interested in developing strategies to help manage similar concerns.
162
I must stress at this point that you can only register for one of these options at any one time.
163
Before you hear the rest of the discussion,
164
you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
165
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
166
We have three professional counsellors here at King's College.
167
Deirdre Blythe, Bobby Foyle and Samantha Stewart.
168
Deirdre Blythe specialises in seeing new students and offers an introductory session during
169
which she explains the counselling process and what you can expect to achieve through counselling.
170
This can be particularly helpful for those who are concerned about the counselling process.
171
During that first session she also establishes what it is that's led you to seek counselling.
172
Deidre is also the only counsellor available outside office hours.
173
She's usually available early Monday morning before classes begin and late Tuesday evening after class.
174
Bobby is available all day long during term time.
175
If you feel the need to drop in and talk to someone,
176
then see Bobby about it.
177
Bobby will either see you himself or place you with the next available counsellor.
178
If you want to be sure to see the same counsellor on each visit,
179
then we strongly recommend that you make an appointment ahead of time.
180
Anyone who is trying to deal with examination stress or any type of anxiety should see Samantha Stewart.
181
Sam has an extensive background in stress management and relaxation techniques
182
and her repertoire includes a full range of techniques to help you cope,
183
such as body awareness, time management and positive reinforcement.
184
Well, that's it.
185
Thanks for your time.
186
If you have any questions or want more information about our services,
187
do come and see us at the Counselling Service.
188
That's the end of Section 2.
189
You have half a minute to check your answers.
190
Now turn to section 3.
191
Section 3.
192
You will hear a conversation between a tutor and two students about how to write an English literature essay.
193
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
194
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
195
Hello Alfred and Alice.
196
Glad you could make it.
197
So the two of you think you need help with essay writing, correct?
198
Yes, we do.
199
I mean, all the lecturers expect us to write essays,
200
but no one has bothered to explain what's required in an English literature essay.
201
Right, well let's get started shall we?
202
Now, how basic do you want this tutorial to be?
203
As basic as possible.
204
Different people, I mean different fellow students of course,
205
seem to disagree on what makes a good essay, so I'm very confused.
206
Well, your number one priority is readability.
207
But what is it that makes an essay readable?
208
Well, it's got to be interesting and enjoyable to read and easy to understand.
209
Write an essay that you yourself would want to read.
210
If you wouldn't want to read your own essay,
211
you can rest assured that no one else will.
212
No one wants to read an essay.
213
This is a mere reiteration of facts,
214
lecture notes or other people's opinions.
215
The second important point to bear in mind when writing your English literature essay is planning.
216
Don't start writing without a goal or an idea of the key points to cover.
217
Make a list of all the key points and ideas before you start writing.
218
Plan your paragraphs.
219
Look at the whole picture before you begin.
220
Give yourself a deadline for the first 300 words.
221
One moment, could I write this down please?
222
Yes of course.
223
So I'll start again.
224
1. When should you aim to have the first 300 words written by?
225
2. Make a list of all the key points and ideas before you start writing.
226
3. Plan your paragraphs.
227
4. Consider the whole picture before you begin.
228
5. Decide what your argument is going to be.
229
6. Who is your reader?
230
That's a tough one.
231
I never know who my reader is supposed to be.
232
I usually write for myself.
233
A lot of students make that mistake,
234
and because they know what they mean to say,
235
they do not bother to explain it clearly.
236
No, your reader is the person who is actually going to read it,
237
that is, your lecturer and fellow students.
238
In your case, it's me and Alice.
239
Before you hear the rest of the discussion,
240
you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
241
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
242
The next thing to talk about is paragraph size.
243
Rather basic to writing a good essay, I would say.
244
If you have re-read a paragraph and got lost on the way,
245
then it is probably time to consider dividing it into two paragraphs.
246
Paragraphs are there to help you and your reader make sense of the text.
247
They divide up your thoughts neatly and section each part of your argument into readable chunks.
248
Remember, you should never have a paragraph that is longer than an A4 page.
249
I'm usually OK with most of the things you mentioned,
250
but the problem with my essays is that they usually lack flow.
251
Same here.
252
Well, what you need to do is make sure that the transition between your paragraphs and sentences makes sense.
253
Each thought should seem to follow on effortlessly from each previous thought.
254
And it is at this point that we might want to use connective words and phrases such as In addition,
255
in spite of this, however,
256
on the other hand, and so on.
257
Well, yes, but you need to be very careful when using connectives.
258
Don't just use them for the sake of using them,
259
as many students often do.
260
Use them only when it makes sense to use them.
261
Otherwise, you're better off not using them at all.
262
Last, but not least, your argument should be perfectly clear.
263
Instead of offering a one-sided rant,
264
however, make sure you include several possible sides of the discussion.
265
A great English literature essay on the set text is a lively and thought-provoking conversation.
266
That's the end of Section 3.
267
You have half a minute to check your answers.

דקדוק בסרטון הזה
המבנים שהדובר משתמש בהם הכי הרבה, עם המילים המדויקות מהסרטון:
| מבנה | בסרטון |
|---|---|
| הווה מושלם (Present perfect) have/has + past participle — פעולה שקרתה בעבר ועדיין יש לה חשיבות או השפעה עכשיו | has been done · has been written · You've been |
| סביל (Passive voice) be + past participle — הדגש הוא על מה שקורה, לא על מי שעושה את הפעולה | has been done · will be played · has been written |
| משפטי זיקה (Relative clauses) who / which + clause — מידע נוסף על אדם או דבר | woman who is · those who are · Anyone who is |
הגייה ששווה לשים לב אליה
הדובר משתמש ב-43 קיצורים וצורות מקוצרות, כמו I'm, don't, I'd. אמרו אותם בצורה הקצרה, כפי שאתם שומעים אותם.
- הצלילים של “sh” ו-“zh”: relaxation /rᵻˌlækˈseɪ.ʃən/, assure /əˈʃʊɹ/, beneficial /ˌbɛn.ɪˈfɪʃ.əl/
- מילים ארוכות — שימו לב להטעמה: academically /ˌæk.əˈdɛm.ɪk.ə.li/, effortlessly /ˈɛf.ɚt.ləs.li/, readability /ˌɹiːdəˈbɪlɪti/, reinforcement /ˌɹiːɪnˈfɔːsmənt/, introductory /ˌɪntɹəˈdʌktəɹi/
צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:
- /æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: paragraph /ˈpæɹəɡɹæf/, madam /ˈmædəm/, academically /ˌæk.əˈdɛm.ɪk.ə.li/, rant /ɹænt/, relaxation /rᵻˌlækˈseɪ.ʃən/
- /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: paragraph /ˈpæɹəɡɹæf/, counselor /ˈkaʊnsələ(ɹ)/, distress /dɪˈstɹɛs/, ferry /ˈfɛɹi/, readable /ˈɹiː.də.bəl/
- עיצור קולי בסוף מילה — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ בלי להפוך אותם לאטומים: connective /kəˈnɛktɪv/, divide /dɪˈvaɪd/, supportive /səˈpɔɹtɪv/
איך לתרגל עם הסרטון הזה

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.
