You will hear a telephone conversation between a travel agent and a man who needs help planning a holiday.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 7 on page 2.
11
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
12
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
13
Beach Heads Travel Pam speaking.
14
Hi, my name's Duncan.
15
Duncan, I'm hoping you'll be able to help me organise a trip to Beach Heads.
16
Sure, let me just fill in our customer request sheet while I'm speaking to you.
17
Could you tell me your name again, please?
18
Yes, it's Duncan.
19
Duncan White.
20
The man's name is Duncan White.
21
So, White has been written in the space.
22
Now we shall begin.
23
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
24
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 7.
25
Beach Heads Travel, Pam speaking.
26
Hi, my name's Duncan.
27
I'm hoping you'll be able to help me organise a trip to Beach Heads.
28
Sure, let me just fill in our customer request sheet while I'm speaking to you.
29
Could you tell me your name again, please?
30
Yes, it's Duncan.
31
Duncan White.
32
OK, and is the trip just for yourself?
33
No, there's three adults, myself, my wife and my mother, and our two daughters, Chloe and Eden.
34
So when are you thinking of travelling?
35
During the next school holidays.
36
So they start on the 12th of October, don't they?
37
Yes, but we'll be arriving on the 15th and we want to stay for a fortnight.
38
Right, got all that.
39
Now I'll just take a few notes about the type of holiday you want, so I can make the bookings for you.
40
Have you thought about where you want to stay while you're here?
41
In the first week we'd like a bit of luxury, and we're planning on staying in a hotel on the beach if possible.
42
That'll be so much better than a campsite.
43
We usually stay in a tent when we go away, but we're going to treat ourselves this time.
44
And do you have a figure in mind for how much you'd like to spend?
45
Are we likely to get anything for under $150 a night?
46
Not really.
47
You'd have to spend at least $175 for a big enough room.
48
OK, we can stretch to that.
49
I'll just have to stop myself thinking that when we go camping we only pay about $200 for a whole week.
50
Well, I'm sure it will be worth it.
51
I can also organise some activities for your first week.
52
Is there anything your daughters would particularly like to do?
53
They want to try sailing this year.
54
Last year it was surfing.
55
They were mad about it.
56
Kids change their minds a lot, don't they?
57
Mine are into cycling at the moment.
58
I know someone who can teach them to sail.
59
Would you like me to organise a class for them?
60
Wonderful.
61
We're bringing our own boat with us.
62
And what about your wife and your mother?
63
Well, my mother Susan goes bowling when she's in Brisbane, but my wife Jenny doesn't really like it.
64
She loves bushwalking, but obviously my mother can't manage that.
65
Can I suggest golf for them both?
66
It's a gentler kind of walk.
67
There's a beautiful course here with magnificent views of the sea.
68
Sounds perfect.
69
OK, I'll organise a time.
70
Thanks.
71
Could you send me some leaflets about fishing in the area?
72
I'd like to take the boat out myself.
73
Sure, there are some good spots around.
74
Great.
75
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 8 to 10 on page 2.
76
Now listen and answer questions 8 to 10.
77
OK, so let's think about the second week now.
78
We want something totally different.
79
We'd like to stay up in the mountains in the National Park.
80
Very nice.
81
And what kind of accommodation are you thinking of?
82
There are some beautiful houses you can rent.
83
Yes, we did think about renting a house, but I'm worried about the cost.
84
Is there anything a bit cheaper, say a caravan or even a cabin?
85
It'd have to be a caravan, because they don't have cabins at the campground but the standard is very high.
86
How much does it cost?
87
A hundred dollars a night, but they're very roomy with all mod cons.
88
The campground's also in a really good spot.
89
What activities are you thinking of doing in that second week?
90
Well, it's actually going to be my wife's birthday, so I'd like to do something a bit special for her.
91
I can book a really nice massage for her after lunch on that day.
92
Lovely.
93
Or would she rather try something more adventurous, like a walk in the treetops?
94
It's really exciting.
95
You go along a really high wooden bridge.
96
Oh no, she'd be terrified.
97
Stick with your first idea.
98
Are there any nice places to eat near the campground?
99
Yes, there's a fantastic wood-fired pizza restaurant called Marco's.
100
Oh, good.
101
I've got two very fussy daughters.
102
Could you send me their menu so we can check it'll be OK?
103
No problem, Duncan.
104
Now, while I remember...
105
That is the end of section 1.
106
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
107
Now turn to section 2 on page 3.
108
Section 2.
109
You will hear a talk about two new initiatives to encourage bicycle use in a city in Australia.
110
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15 on page 3.
111
Now, listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
112
Thank you for all coming to today's information session on bicycle use in the inner city.
113
I'll start by telling you about the City Council's new bicycle hire scheme, which is called CityCycle.
114
We want to provide people who don't own a bike a convenient way to get around the inner City.
115
Now to use CityCycle first you need to subscribe to the service and you can do that online.
116
Just go to the City Council website and follow the prompts and you'll be sent a card.
117
Once you've done that you can unlock one of our bikes from any station in the inner city area.
118
Just go to the station and log on at the computer terminal.
119
You'll be shown a diagram of the bikes
120
that are currently available at the station so you just choose the one you want by touching the screen.
121
You don't need a password or anything.
122
Once you've chosen your bike you can then go to where the bikes are stored and push the release button.
123
After you do that you have about 10 seconds to take the bike out of the rack.
124
You can now start your bike ride.
125
Further down the track we're thinking about adding lockers for bags if the scheme is popular.
126
Oh, at this point can I just clarify something
127
that a few people have been asking and that is do I have to wear a helmet?
128
Well the answer is yes you do.
129
That's a requirement by law in this state so don't forget to wear one at all times when riding.
130
Now at the end of your trip just come back to one of the city cycle stations
131
and wheel the bike into the bike rack.
132
It's important to make sure that the bike is properly secured because you could be held liable if it goes missing.
133
The green light on the rack will confirm that it has been locked into place.
134
So we hope that with such a simple scheme we'll have many users.
135
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20 on page 4.
136
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
137
Let's turn to another initiative, the layout of the new Council Bicycle Centre, which will be opening next week.
138
This is for people who already own a bike.
139
We wanted to provide a place for cyclists to store their bikes, then change before going on to work.
140
Can you all see the plan?
141
If you look at the bottom towards the right-hand corner, you'll see where the cyclists enter the centre.
142
People want more than just a place to park their bikes.
143
That's why you'll see a coffee cart.
144
That's it there between the reception desk and the vending machines.
145
I'm sure it'll be very popular with commuters first thing in the morning.
146
Now, of course, some of our cyclists have very expensive bikes, so we'll have a totally secure place for them to park.
147
That's it in the top right-hand corner.
148
Now, there's another special service for the cyclists that I'd like to show you.
149
Look back at the entry on the map.
150
Just to the left of reception, on the Donovan Street side of the building, you'll see quite a large room.
151
That's the workshop, where cyclists will be able to leave their bikes for repairs while they are at work.
152
We've put a lot of thought into the facilities of the centre.
153
If you have any valuables with you, you can leave these in our lockers.
154
The locker room is in the top left hand corner of your plan, so you can store your bag or wallet there before you head off for a shower.
155
We've installed ten state of the art power showers are located
156
in this room here to the left of the hairdryers and just near the exit.
157
There's also a water cooler available so you can grab a drink
158
and then pick up a towel next to the water cooler there.
159
That is the end of section two.
160
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
161
Now turn to section 3 on page 5.
162
Section 3.
163
You will hear two students called Sylvia and Greg discussing their project on renewable energy.
164
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25 on page 5.
165
Thank you.
166
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
167
Greg, about this project on renewable energy,
168
we've got to look at some products that use it and then see how aware people are of this kind of energy.
169
Well, first we must clarify what renewable energy is.
170
I've done that.
171
It's energy from a source which is replaced by a natural process such as wind, tidal energy from the sea, energy from the sun, and so on.
172
And I've found some very interesting examples of products using these sources.
173
So have I.
174
What have you got?
175
Well, the first one is a company in Germany which is producing huge kites that pull ships along.
176
The kites are attached by long cables, and they fly up to 500 meters above the sea.
177
They must be pretty big.
178
And it means that they can be powered by the wind no matter what the weather.
179
That sounds like a good idea.
180
But will they really help reduce energy use?
181
You bet.
182
As well as that, apparently, the shipping industry is one of the worst polluters on the planet, as they use cheap diesel fuel which has terrible toxic emissions.
183
The company believes these kites could cut the use of these fuels by 50% and reduce the emissions by the same amount.
184
Sounds good.
185
And I found a company in the US which is developing a new type of car.
186
Apparently, they're producing a sports car which doesn't use petrol at all, just electricity, but for the US market only.
187
Sounds intriguing.
188
Do we know what it'll look like?
189
They're very secretive about it, and all they say is that it won't look ugly, and it'll have zero emissions.
190
Wow, really?
191
So they say.
192
Any other products?
193
Uh, I found an interesting article about a man in South Africa who's selling stoves using ethanol to the local people.
194
Ethanol?
195
Yes.
196
It's made from the sugar of certain crops.
197
Most of the local people use paraffin stoves at the moment, and they are dangerous because they can explode quite easily.
198
Right.
199
Now for the next part, we have to do a survey to find out how aware the public is about this kind of energy.
200
who shall we approach local businesses I think it's easier to
201
do a survey of the general public rather than local companies
202
why well last time we sent all those email surveys to commercial organizations
203
and we only had replies from five percent of them oh I forgot
204
that okay then what about the other students and the lecturers here in the University you know what the lecturers alike.
205
They're so busy they won't have the time, but the students will, I'm sure.
206
Okay.
207
And as well as that, we could target the local schools like last time.
208
School kids just love doing surveys.
209
I think we want to stick to adults for this, don't you?
210
You're probably right.
211
Maybe we could approach people who rent our own properties around here, since they're the ones who have to pay for the energy.
212
Exactly.
213
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30 on page 6.
214
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
215
Now, what about the kind of questions we want to include in the survey?
216
Well, we need to find out if they know what renewable energy is and how familiar people are with the concept.
217
I know it's been all over the news lately, but I think a lot of people are still in the dark about it.
218
Do you think so?
219
I'm not sure I agree.
220
But we can have that in if you want.
221
We also need to find out what they think about the use of traditional energy sources like gas and coal,
222
and if they know what effect these types of energy have on their environment.
223
And what they cost.
224
That's not so important.
225
But we ought to see what they think is going to happen to the consumption of traditional energy sources.
226
You're right.
227
Then there's nuclear power.
228
That's an interesting one, because it's cleaner and more efficient in many ways than other fuels.
229
But the safety factor has always worried people.
230
Yes.
231
I know that the technology has improved greatly since it was first used, but I don't think everyone is convinced.
232
Are there any problems with renewable energy?
233
Yes, and we need to know what people think about them.
234
One argument is that it's going to be too expensive to use solar or wind power.
235
But once people realize the benefits to us all, the price is bound to come down.
236
It's always expensive to start with.
237
Once enough people want it, it'll be a viable prospect.
238
That's true.
239
But the other thing is they don't like it.
240
They say that some of the technology is ugly, like the big windmills used.
241
A lot of people think they spoil the countryside, and I agree.
242
They're not that bad.
243
They're pretty efficient, so perhaps it's a case of choosing the right place for them, where they look least out of place.
244
Good point.
245
It'll be very interesting to see the results of this survey.
246
That is the end of Section 3.
247
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
248
Now turn to section 4 on page 7.
249
Section 4.
250
You will hear part of a presentation given by a business student on an assignment about absence from work.
251
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on page 7.
252
Thank you.
253
questions 31 to 40.
254
Hello everyone.
255
For my assignment I did a review of the literature concerning absence in the workplace, and I am going to present a summary of what I found.
256
I looked at some research on absence from work, that is, the number of days work people miss, for various reasons.
257
Researchers refer to two types of absence.
258
Frequent absence, which is obviously a more serious problem, and occasional absence.
259
A lot of studies look at the factors involved in absence from work, and several have been identified.
260
Firstly, the gender of the employee may influence his or her ability to attend work.
261
For example, a female is more likely to have child care responsibility, and so could be absent as a result of that.
262
The next factor that has been identified is the attitude of employees toward their work.
263
But there has been a lot of debate about the extent to which this actually does influence absence, and some people argue that the research hasn't been conclusive.
264
Some researchers have suggested that another reason for high levels of absence is
265
that some organizations have a culture in which absence is accepted, but others have criticized this model, arguing that it's too much of a generalization.
266
And then there are factors related to the type of work the employee does.
267
It's been claimed that workers in industry are more likely to have high absence rates than people who work in offices.
268
It's also important to recognize that groups within a single organization might behave differently.
269
For example, one of the other underlying themes in the literature is
270
that there is a connection between how often an employee is absent
271
and what size of work group he or she belongs to.
272
Specifically, it's been found that the bigger the group, the higher the levels of absence.
273
On a related theme, some writers have focused on a comparison between public sector organizations and private sector ones.
274
There is some evidence that absence levels are higher in the public sector.
275
It's not exactly clear why this should be the case,
276
but one explanation that has been often put forward is that in some cases public sector organizations may not be as efficient.
277
This might be because their systems are more bureaucratic, due to factors which are external rather than internal,
278
like the degree of control the government imposes on the public sector.
279
However, most recent literature suggests a number of other explanations.
280
Firstly, a public sector organization tends to have a workforce which is larger.
281
Also, it tends to employ a higher number of female and older employees, both of which groups are likely to record higher absence rates.
282
It is also suggested that public sector organizations are more likely to give their absent employees benefits for a longer period,
283
and are less likely to place restrictions on these.
284
In addition, it's been found that public sector employers have less of a tendency to dismiss employees for being absent.
285
And all of these could be additional or alternative reasons for higher absence rates in the public sector.
286
Now, I'd like to talk about the management of absence.
287
That is the end of Section 4.
288
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
289
Thank you.
290
Now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.
291
Thank you.
292
Thank you.
293
Thank 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.
