Test 1.
2
This is the IELTS Listening Test.
3
You will hear a number of different recordings, and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
4
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 parts.
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 part one.
9
Part one.
10
You will hear a woman asking a friend for restaurant recommendations.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
12
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
13
I've been meaning to ask you for some advice about restaurants.
14
I need to book somewhere to celebrate my sister's 30th birthday, and I liked the sound of that place you went to for your mum's 50th.
15
The Junction?
16
Yeah, I'd definitely recommend that for a special occasion.
17
We had a great time there.
18
Everyone really enjoyed it.
19
Where is it again?
20
I can't remember.
21
It's on Grayson Street, only about a two-minute walk from the station.
22
Oh, that's good.
23
I'd prefer not to have to drive anywhere.
24
But I don't want to have to walk too far, either.
25
Yes, the location's perfect, but that's not necessarily why I'd recommend it.
26
The food's amazing.
27
If you like fish, it's probably the best restaurant in town for that.
28
It's always really fresh, and there are lots of interesting dishes to choose from.
29
But all the food is good there.
30
Is it really expensive?
31
It's certainly not cheap, but for a special occasion I think it's fine.
32
It's got a great atmosphere, and before dinner you can go up on the roof and have a drink.
33
It's really nice up there, but you need to book.
34
It's very popular as the views are spectacular.
35
Hmm, sounds good.
36
So that's definitely a possibility then.
37
Is there anywhere else you can think of?
38
Um, if you want somewhere a bit less formal, then you could try Paloma.
39
Where's that?
40
I haven't heard of it.
41
No, it's quite new.
42
It's only been open a few months, but it's got a great reputation already.
43
It's in a really beautiful old building on Bow Street.
44
Oh, I think I know where you mean.
45
Right beside the cinema.
46
Yes, that's it.
47
I've only been there a couple of times, but I was really impressed.
48
The chef used to work at Don Felipe's, apparently.
49
I was really sorry when that closed down.
50
So is all the food they serve Spanish, then?
51
Yeah.
52
You can get lots of small dishes to share, which always works really well if you're in a group.
53
Hmm.
54
Worth thinking about.
55
Yeah.
56
There's a lively atmosphere and the waiters are really friendly.
57
The only thing is that you need to pay a £50 deposit to book a table.
58
A lot of restaurants are doing that these days.
59
I should have a look at the menu to check there's a good choice of vegetarian dishes.
60
A couple of my friends have stopped eating meat.
61
Not sure.
62
I'd say the selection of those would be quite limited.
63
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions five to ten.
64
Now listen and answer questions five to ten.
65
I've just thought of another idea.
66
Have you been to the Audley?
67
No, don't think I've heard of it.
68
How's it spelt?
69
A-U-D-L-E-Y.
70
You must have heard of it.
71
There's been a lot about it in the press.
72
I don't tend to pay much attention to that kind of thing.
73
So where is it exactly?
74
It's in that hotel near Baxter Bridge on the top floor.
75
Oh, the views would be incredible from up there.
76
Yeah, I'd love to go.
77
I can't think of the chef's name, but she was a judge on that TV cookery show recently, and she's written a couple of cookery books.
78
Oh, Angela Frayne.
79
That's the one.
80
Anyway, it's had excellent reviews from all the newspapers.
81
That would be a memorable place for a celebration.
82
Definitely.
83
Obviously it's worth going there just for the view, but the food is supposed to be really special.
84
She only likes cooking with local products, doesn't she?
85
Yes.
86
Everything at the restaurant has to be sourced within a short distance, and absolutely nothing flown in from abroad.
87
I imagine it's really expensive, though.
88
Well, you could go for the set lunch.
89
That's quite reasonable for a top-class restaurant.
90
Thirty pounds a head.
91
In the evening, I think it'd be more like fifty pounds.
92
At least that, I should think.
93
But I'm sure everyone would enjoy it.
94
It's not the kind of place you leave feeling hungry, though, is it?
95
With tiny portions.
96
No, the reviews I've read didn't mention that.
97
I imagine they'd be average.
98
Well, that's all great.
99
That is the end of part one.
100
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
101
Thank you.
102
Thank you.
103
Thank you.

Consigli per la pratica

Per trarre il massimo beneficio da questa lezione, prova a incorporare la tecnica del shadowing in inglese mentre ascolti la registrazione. Questa metodologia consiste nell’imitare immediatamente ciò che senti, pronunciando le frasi in tempo reale, il che può significativamente migliorare la pronuncia inglese. Poiché il dialogo è presentato a una velocità naturale, questo è un ottimo esercizio per affinare la tua intonazione e il tuo ritmo. Ascolta attentamente le pause nelle conversazioni e cerca di rispettarle mentre fai shadow speech.

Utilizza risorse come un shadowing site per collegamenti audio e trascrizioni, così da rendere più facile seguire insieme. Rivisita il video più volte, iniziando con l’ascolto passivo e poi passando a un approccio attivo. Non avere paura di fermarti e ripetere le frasi che trovi difficili. Ricorda, l'obiettivo è che tu possa riprodurre queste espressioni linguistiche in modo fluente e naturale nel tuo parlato quotidiano.

Con il tempo e la pratica regolare, vedrai un netto miglioramento nelle tue capacità di ascolto e di conversazione in inglese. Utilizza questa lezione come un'opportunità per non solo comprendere ma anche per parlare con sicurezza. In breve, shadowspeaks non è solo una tecnica, ma un modo per vivere e respirare la lingua inglese!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
