शैडोइंग अभ्यास: [VOL 5] IELTS Listening Test 1 - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

You will hear two friends choosing a campsite together for their holiday with their families.

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.

Shall we have a look at this information about campsites, and then perhaps we can choose where to go on holiday?

Yes.

My children are very excited about our two families going away together again this year.

Shall we look at Westerly Campsite first?

Yes.

It says it's most suitable for children under 12 years old.

So that should be fine for us.

Your daughter's just 11, isn't she?

Yes, that's right.

Now, where is the westerly campsite?

Is it the one next to a lake?

That's another one.

This one's by the sea.

Perfect.

Yes.

That's a good place to go in the summer when the weather's hot.

This brochure says that most children who go to westerly campsite love the animals they can see there.

There's a special area where they can go and feed them.

We might see some interesting birds too.

Oh, and look, it says a farmer comes every day and you can buy eggs from him.

Great for breakfast.

I wonder if he sells other things like cheese, but it's not mentioned.

I don't know.

I think they grow a lot of fruit in that area, so he might sell that.

Another thing I like about this campsite is that they let you make a fire.

We could cook some sausages and sing songs around it in the evenings.

And perhaps it would be a good way to meet other families there, too.

Great!

And it isn't too expensive – £6 per adult per night, £3 per child – but wait!

Families of four can get it for £15 .75 a night.

That works out even cheaper.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.

Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.

Let's look at a couple of other campsites before we decide.

Yes, let's look at Snetton Forest campsite.

It's even cheaper.

Five pounds per adult and children under ten are free.

They say it's a very good place if you're keen on fishing.

And they even give you tips on where to go to have the best chance of catching some.

I prefer walking or hiking, and so do the rest of my family, so I'm not sure that will attract us that much.

Oh, look.

It says you can rent a bike to go around the forest.

I'd do that.

And your children would like that too, wouldn't they?

Absolutely.

We could all go somewhere and have a picnic.

Look, this is interesting too.

At Snetton, they get all the children together to play football.

Your children would love that.

And your husband, Mike, plays too, doesn't he?

Yes, that sounds good.

Well, Mike's more into tennis, actually but I'm sure he'd be happy to be a referee if they needed one.

Here's some information about Trent Valley Campsite.

I've heard about this one.

There's a festival near the campsite in June and it's really busy, so they say for families it's better in July when it's a bit quieter.

Well, that would be just right for us because we have to go in the school summer holidays.

Let's look at what it says about it.

Oh, look, it's quite a long way to the nearest village.

Eight kilometres.

It's too far to walk.

But this one has got an open -air pool, which we'd all love in the summer.

And they have a little shop where you can buy basic things like bread and milk.

That's really useful.

And there's lots to do there.

I think on Saturday night...

That is the end of part one.

You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

Thank you.

about starting a business first you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.

Good evening.

My name is Arthur Jones.

I'm very glad to have this opportunity to speak to you over the radio.

The host asked me to give a talk about my experience of starting my own business.

I can't say my business is successful, but there are some things that I want to share with you

which I think will be helpful if you want to start your own company.

I've talked to many young people and they told me that they are afraid of making mistakes when they start their business.

What I want to say is that mistakes are very common, especially when you do something new.

Mistakes can actually show you where you need to improve, so you can take actions about them and use the chance to learn new methods.

This is a very important attitude you should have.

Besides, most mistakes are not that fatal.

Don't be too anxious when they occur.

Next, I want to go on to talk about self -confidence, which is quite important in achieving business success.

Being self -confident means that you can have faith in yourself and what you do.

Self -confidence can be gained through hard work, even playing sports.

However, sometimes self -confidence may make you ignore problems and even cause failure.

Business leaders should remain calm and not take impulsive actions.

I know that when people start their business, they have confusions.

They don't know how they can be more professional.

They read business journals or watch related videos, but these don't seem to help sometimes.

My suggestion is that, instead of aimlessly trying many new things, they should always be committed to their goal.

As long as they stick to it, they will not be easily distracted or confused by other things, and they are sure to get better.

We will all meet difficulties, especially at the beginning.

We can't always rely on ourselves to solve all the problems.

I had a problem with marketing earlier this year.

100

Luckily I found an expert to help me deal with it so there's always a way, but we should know how and when to seek help from these people.

101

Business leaders have different kinds of styles.

102

Some are very good at public speaking, others are very down -to -earth and have strong executive skills.

103

But in general, they should be able to win the respect from their employees

104

so that they can carry out their orders more easily.

105

there are times

106

when a company might face risks during such times leaders will need to take prompt actions

107

and they can't always plan for distant future leaders should analyze

108

and deal with the risks with caution if they bear this in mind there is always a way out

109

before you hear the rest of the radio program you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.

110

Now, listen and answer questions 17 to 20.

111

At the beginning of my business, I experimented with quite a few strategies, hoping to find out the best solution for my business.

112

Here is what I found.

113

At first, my company wanted to work out prices for the products and make them realistic.

114

However, prices are always changing, so they can't be fixed.

115

Another thing I always keep in mind is that leaders must stay committed to their jobs.

116

Without enough commitment, you may easily give up when problems happen.

117

I have some friends whose businesses didn't survive during difficult times it wasn't

118

because they were stupid it was just a lack of commitment I can't always be sure

119

that my products or services are better than my competitors

120

but I pay attention to details

121

and try to improve all the little things as they can actually make a big difference you might worry

122

that you don't have a very clear

123

and sophisticated business strategy personally I don't think it's a problem

124

because you will be changing them all the time anyway in terms of support, at any stage we do need support from others to back up our business.

125

The support can really make a difference.

126

Before I started my business, my family helped me a lot, both financially and mentally.

127

There were also people who gave me advice on how to run businesses successfully.

128

However, these advice and ideas were not so practical to me, so I didn't really use them.

129

Looking back, I felt lucky that I followed my own way of thinking.

130

Also, I was short of funds back then, and I loaned money from the bank to start my company.

131

I was grateful for that.

132

That's what I want to share in today's program.

133

If you have any questions for me, please send it to my email, which is...

134

That is the end of section 2.

135

Thank you.

136

about their presentation on some dolphins which are unique to New Zealand.

137

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24 on page 5.

138

Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.

139

Hi, Mark.

140

Thanks for coming around.

141

Hi, Fran.

142

No problem.

143

We need to try and get this presentation finished.

144

Mark, let's start with the way dolphins make sounds.

145

Well, we all know that dolphins make clicking noises to communicate.

146

Yes, they have tongues and larynxes as humans do,

147

but what's really strange about the dolphin is that the sounds are focused through an extraordinary organ called the melon, which most other sea mammals don't have.

148

So, shall I take over from there and speak about the different dolphin types?

149

I want to share what we found out about those rare dolphins that are special just to New Zealand in particular.

150

Yeah, great.

151

Put the emphasis on them.

152

The rarest of all is the Hector's dolphin, isn't it?

153

They are endangered, aren't they?

154

I think that's mainly because so many of them get tangled up in fishing gear, especially gillnets, and die.

155

I know that some conservationists are worried about the impact of the tourism industry on dolphin numbers, but I don't think that's a problem yet here.

156

Also, remember that this species has a very long reproductive cycle, so their numbers don't get replenished quickly.

157

Yeah, that's really sad.

158

But at least the New Zealand government established a sanctuary for them, didn't it?

159

The fishing industry was against it, but I remember reading that the general public were very supportive of the decision.

160

It was a consequence of a study done by some marine biologists.

161

Having a protected breeding area has made a big difference to the dolphin population already.

162

Yeah, I think their numbers have swelled to over 7 ,000

163

in total with a tiny group of just 89 living down off Southland, nearly 2 ,000 living near Christchurch on the east coast and the biggest group surviving off the west coast.

164

It's pretty wild country over there so I guess there aren't as many tourists and fishermen to disturb them.

165

Before you hear the rest of the discussion you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30 on page 6.

166

Thank you.

167

twenty five to thirty

168

okay so how do you suggest I structure my part of the talk

169

well you could start with the common dolphin which inhabits the whole of the sea around New Zealand

170

and once you've covered everything to do with them feeding and so on

171

you could go on to the more unusual types the dusky dolphin is especially interesting

172

because you know how all the dolphins travel in small social groups called pods

173

While the dusky dolphins travel in pods as big as 800 members.

174

And I think the duskies like to travel along beside fishing and tourist boats, don't they?

175

Whereas the hectares dolphins are different in that they prefer to go in the wake of boats, that is, coming along in the rear.

176

Yeah, they do.

177

But they also dive down deep to avoid fast boats.

178

Oh, let's not forget the Maui, because they are endangered too, aren't they?

179

There are only 150 of them left and they inhabit only the western coastal waters off the North Island of New Zealand.

180

Yeah, it's a pity.

181

They also face problems because of their tiny size.

182

Now the orca is actually a dolphin too, right?

183

Yes, surprisingly.

184

So I'll include that in my talk.

185

People call them killer whales, but in fact they're not whales.

186

They're a huge and very fierce type of dolphin.

187

In New Zealand, Kaikoura in the South Island is the best place to spot orcas swimming by, so people mistakenly think that's where they live,

188

but actually orcas cover vast distances.

189

Let's not forget to mention the bottlenose.

190

It's bigger than nearly all the other dolphins, even the common dolphin.

191

Oh, but still not as big as the orca, right?

192

That's right.

193

Well, I think that's our presentation done now.

194

That is the end of Section 3.

195

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

196

Now turn to section 4 on page 7.

197

Part 4.

198

You will hear a man giving a lecture on his tyre recycling company to environmental science students.

199

First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.

200

You Thank you.

201

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

202

Good afternoon.

203

I'm the Managing Director of Melectra Technologies and we are involved in recycling tyres from vehicles such as cars and trucks.

204

This might not sound new or exciting, but the method we use is quite radical compared to traditional tyre recycling methods.

205

We strongly believe that the business of recycling tyres is crucial, as amazingly, every month in Australia alone,

206

the number of old tyres that are discarded exceeds 1 .5 million.

207

And when you look at the figure globally, it is a staggering 1 .2 billion each year.

208

For decades, various recycling methods have been trialled with varying degrees of success.

209

In some cases, the solution was as bad as the problem.

210

Incinerating tyres, for example, generates toxic fumes which are harmful to the environment.

211

Breaking up whole tyres is energy intensive and produces a contaminated product with very little value.

212

As a result, there was little incentive to get into the business because there was no profit in it.

213

And yet, a tyre is made up of so many valuable components.

214

And it is for this reason that we started trying out new recycling methods.

215

In the end, our factory came up with a much improved system for recycling old tyres.

216

The Melectra process is different for a number of reasons.

217

Firstly, it is a lot cheaper to run because our machines are much more compact in comparison to traditional systems.

218

This in turn reduces energy consumption.

219

The wear and tear on the shredding equipment, which cuts up the tyres, is also reduced, as the tyres fed through them have already been softened.

220

Costs are reduced by over 30 % using our system.

221

And, significantly, our machines can handle a tyre of any size,

222

from the smallest bicycle or wheelbarrow right up to the largest earth -moving truck.

223

Most other processes can only handle car tyres.

224

Our technology has proven to work

225

and we have won many awards including the Australian Museum's Eureka Award

226

and last year on a national TV program we were chosen as the invention of the year.

227

Winning

228

that certainly opened many doors for us with interest coming from 27 countries around the world including the United States and China.

229

To cope with the demand, we will soon have 10 more factories which will operate 24 hours a day just to stabilise the current stockpile.

230

We are passionate about taking this process further, and so we have chosen to dedicate 5 % of every dollar we make to research.

231

In this way, we can ensure we are always the best in the business.

232

So, let's look at the process we use, what we extract from the tyre in each stage of the process, and the uses that those materials can be put to.

233

The first step of the process mechanically extracts the steel wires from the rim of the tyre.

234

This high -quality wire can be cut into small pellets suitable for sandblasting shots.

235

Next, after the tyres have been sliced into a number of segments depending on tyre diameter, they are chemically treated.

236

This chemical treatment is essential as it removes dirt from the rubber prior to the rest of the process.

237

The cleaning process also softens the tyres, making them easier to chop up.

238

In the next stage, the fibre cords contained in the tyre segments are separated from the rubber using rollers.

239

The fibres, which can include nylon and rayon, can be used as a reinforcement for concrete or they can be used to form plastic panels.

240

Then, the rubber is cut up into very small pieces known as crumb rubber.

241

For a tyre weighing 10 kilograms,

242

Melectra can recover 7 .5 kilograms of crumb rubber that can be used to manufacture a range of rubber products, such as asphalt used in road making.

243

It is also used as insulation in buildings, or something simple like tiles for the floor.

244

Alternatively, any or all of this crumb rubber can continue through to the final stage.

245

This final stage involves our patented Melectrovac machine, which uses industrial microwave energy.

246

This changes the remaining rubber into hydrocarbon, which can be used to make three different products.

247

We can cheaply produce activated carbon, which is usually quite expensive to make from new materials.

248

It's used for treating water, as well as being an integral part of air filters.

249

Secondly, as the carbon produced is very pure, in fact it's over 97 .4 % pure,

250

we can crush it to form something called carbon black, which is used in the manufacture of batteries and also ink.

251

Our process is very flexible and we can alter the quantity of each of the three products depending on demand.

252

Finally, we can even use the hydrocarbon to make oil and we use this to generate electricity to power our own machines.

253

It certainly helps to keep the costs down.

254

And that's just about it.

255

That is the end of Part 4.

256

You now have one minute to check your answers to Part 4.

257

Thank you.

258

That is the end of the listening test.

259

You now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.
