Test 1 You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.

There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions, and you will have a chance to check your work.
5
All the recordings will be played once only.
6
The test is in four sections.
7
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
8
Now turn to Section 1.
9
Section 1.
10
You will hear a woman reporting a theft to an officer in a police station.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 3.
12
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
13
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
14
Good morning.
15
What can I do for you?
16
I want to report a theft.
17
I had some things stolen out of my bag yesterday.
18
I'm sorry to hear that.
19
Right, so I'll need to take a few details.
20
Can I start with your name?
21
Louise Taylor.
22
The woman's name is Louise Taylor.
23
So Taylor has been written in the space.
24
Now we shall begin.
25
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
26
Listen carefully and answer questions one to three.
27
Good morning.
28
What can I do for you?
29
I want to report a theft.
30
I had some things stolen out of my bag yesterday.
31
I'm sorry to hear that.
32
Right, so I'll need to take a few details.
33
Can I start with your name?
34
Louise Taylor.
35
Okay, thank you.
36
And are you resident in the UK?
37
No, I'm actually Canadian, though my mother was British.
38
And your date of birth?
39
December 14th, 1977.
40
So you're just visiting this country?
41
That's right.
42
I come over most summers on business.
43
I'm an interior designer, and I come over to buy old furniture.
44
Antiques, you know?
45
There are some really lovely things around here, but you need to get out to the small towns.
46
I've had a really good trip this year, until this happened.
47
Okay.
48
So you've been here quite a while?
49
Yes.
50
I'm here for two months.
51
I go back next week.
52
So may I ask where you're staying now?
53
Well, at present, I've got a place at Park Apartments that's on King Street.
54
I was staying at the Riverside Apartments on the same street, but the apartment there was only available for six weeks, so I had to find another one.
55
Okay.
56
And the apartment number?
57
Fifteen.
58
Right.
59
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 4 to 10.
60
Now listen and answer questions 4 to 10.
61
Now, I need to take some details of the theft.
62
So, you said you had some things stolen out of your bag?
63
That's right.
64
And were you actually carrying the bag when the theft took place?
65
Yes.
66
I really can't understand it.
67
I had my backpack on, and I went into a supermarket to buy a few things, and when I opened it up, my wallet wasn't there.
68
And what did your wallet have in it?
69
Well, fortunately, I don't keep my credit cards in that wallet.
70
I keep them with my passport in an inside compartment in my backpack, but there was quite a bit of cash there.
71
About 250 pounds sterling, I should think.
72
I withdrew 300 pounds from my account yesterday, but I did a bit of shopping, so I must have already spent about 50 pounds of that.
73
Okay.
74
At first I thought, oh, I must have left the wallet back in the apartment.
75
But then I realized my phone had gone as well.
76
It was only a week old and that's when I realized I'd been robbed.
77
Anyway, at least they didn't take the keys to my rental car.
78
Yes.
79
So you say the theft occurred yesterday?
80
Yes.
81
So that was September the 10th?
82
And do you have any idea at all of where or when the things might possibly have been stolen?
83
Well, at first I couldn't believe it
84
because the bag had been on my back ever since I left the apartment after lunch.
85
It's just a small backpack, but I generally use it when I'm traveling because it seems safer than a handbag.
86
Anyway, I met up with a friend, and we spent a couple of hours in the museum.
87
But I do remember that as we were leaving there, at about four o'clock, a group of young boys ran up to us,
88
and they were really crowding round us, and they were asking us what time it was.
89
Then all of a sudden, they ran off.
90
Can you remember anything about them?
91
The one who did most of the talking was wearing a t-shirt with a picture of something.
92
Ah, let's see.
93
A tiger.
94
Right.
95
Any idea of how old he might have been?
96
Around 12 years old.
97
And can you remember anything else about his appearance?
98
Not much.
99
He was quite thin.
100
Color of hair?
101
I do remember that.
102
He was blonde.
103
All the others were dark-haired.
104
And any details of the others?
105
Not really.
106
They came and went so quickly.
107
Right.
108
So what I'm going to do now is give you a crime reference number so you can contact your insurance company.
109
So this is ten digits.
110
8795482361. Thank you. So should I contact...
111
That is the end of section one.
112
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
113
Now turn to section 2.

  • What can I do for you?
  • I'm sorry to hear that.
  • Right, so I'll need to take a few details.
  • Can I start with your name?
  • Can you remember anything about them?

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण

वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:

संरचनावीडियो में
Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता हैwill be played · will be given · has been done
Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी हैhas been done · has been written · you've been
Past continuous was/were + -ing — बीते समय के किसी क्षण में चल रहा कामwas staying · were leaving · were really crowding
“should” से सलाह should + क्रिया — बताना कि क्या करना अच्छा हैshould answer · should think · should I contact

ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण

वक्ता 20 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे I'm, I'll, I've। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।

  • “th” की ध्वनियाँ: theft /θɛft/, withdraw /wɪðˈdɹɔ/
  • लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: supermarket /ˌsupɚˈmɑɹkət/, fortunately /ˈfɔɹ.t͡ʃə.nɪt.li/

हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:

  • /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: wallet /ˈwɑl.ət/, withdraw /wɪðˈdɹɔ/
  • /æ/ — “ऐ” से ज़्यादा खुला: backpack /ˈbæk.pæk/, handbag /ˈhændˌbæɡ/, passport /ˈpæspɔɹt/

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें

  1. पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
  2. सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
  3. अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर theft, wallet, backpack जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
