Creazione lezione...
1
Test 2.
2
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
3
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
4
All the recordings will be played once only.
5
The test is in four sections.
6
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
7
Now turn to section one.
8
Section one.
9
You will hear a man interviewing a woman in the street about her use of transport.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions one to five.
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
Excuse me?
14
Yes?
15
I wonder if you could spare a few minutes to do a survey on transport.
16
It won't take long.
17
No, that's fine.
18
Lovely.
19
The survey is on behalf of the local council.
20
They'd like to know about what transport you use and any suggestions for improvement.
21
Can I start by asking you how you travelled to town today?
22
Sure.
23
I came on the bus.
24
The woman travelled to town by bus, so bus has been written in the space.
25
Now we shall begin.
26
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
27
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
28
Excuse me?
29
Yes?
30
I wonder if you could spare a few minutes to do a survey on transport.
31
It won't take long.
32
No, that's fine.
33
Oh, lovely.
34
The survey is on behalf of the local council.
35
They'd like to know about what transport you use and any suggestions for improvement.
36
Can I start by asking you how you travelled to town today?
37
Sure.
38
I came on the bus.
39
Great.
40
Now, can I get a few details about yourself?
41
OK.
42
What's your name?
43
It's Louisa.
44
Yes?
45
Hardy.
46
Can you spell that, please?
47
Yes, it's H-A-R-D-I-E.
48
Great, thanks.
49
And can I have your address?
50
It's 19 Whitestone Road.
51
Oh, right, I know that area.
52
It's Bradfield, isn't it?
53
That's right.
54
Is the postcode GT7?
55
It's actually GT8 2LC.
56
Great.
57
And could I ask what your job is?
58
Are you a student?
59
I've actually just finished my training.
60
I'm a hairdresser.
61
Oh, right.
62
And one more question in this section.
63
What is the reason for you coming into town today?
64
Actually, it's not for shopping today, which would be my normal reason, but to see the dentist.
65
Right.
66
Thanks.
67
Before you hear the rest of the interview, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
68
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
69
Now, in this last section, I'd like you to give us some ideas about the facilities and arrangements in the city for getting to and from work.
70
Any suggestions you have for improvements?
71
Well, something I've thought about for some time is that when I do walk and I'm doing a later shift, I think the lighting should be better.
72
Yes, good point.
73
And of course I think it's a real shame they've been cutting down on the number of footpaths.
74
They should have more of those.
75
Then people would walk more.
76
Yes, right.
77
And I don't think there are enough trains.
78
That's why I don't use them.
79
You have to wait so long.
80
Thanks.
81
And finally, I'd like to ask your opinion on cycling.
82
As you may know, there's a drive in the city to get more people to cycle to work.
83
Right.
84
But we realise that there are things which the council, but also employers might do to help encourage workers to cycle to work.
85
Yep.
86
Well, I have thought about it, and where I work there are no safe places to leave your bikes.
87
OK.
88
And also, I'd have to cycle uphill, and on a hot day I'd arrive at work pretty sweaty, so I think I'd need a shower somewhere at work.
89
Right.
90
And I suppose the last thing is that I wouldn't be all that confident about cycling on such busy roads.
91
I think I'd like to see you offering training for that.
92
You know, I'd feel a lot better about starting if that was the case.
93
Well, that's very helpful.
94
Thank you very much for your time.
95
No problem.
96
Bye.
97
That is the end of Section 1.
98
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
99
Now turn to section 2.

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.
