Cambridge 17 Listening Test 4.
2
You will hear a number of different recordings.
3
All the recordings will be played once only.
4
The test is in four parts.
5
You will have 10 minutes at the end of the test to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
6
Now turn to Part 1.
7
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
8
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
9
Hello, Easy Life Cleaning Services, Jacinda speaking.
10
Oh, hello.
11
I'm looking for a cleaning service for my apartment.
12
Do you do domestic cleaning?
13
Sure.
14
Well, it's just a one bedroom flat.
15
Do you have a basic cleaning package?
16
Yes.
17
For a one bedroom flat, we're probably looking at about two hours for a clean,
18
so we'd do a thorough clean of all surfaces in each room and polish them where necessary.
19
Does your apartment have carpets?
20
No, I don't have any, but the floor would need cleaning. Of course.
21
We'd do that in every room.
22
And we'd do a thorough clean of the kitchen and bathroom.
23
OK.
24
Then we have some additional services, which you can request if you want.
25
So, for example, we can clean your oven for you every week.
26
Actually, I hardly ever use that.
27
But can you do the fridge?
28
Sure.
29
Would you like that done every week?
30
Yes, definitely.
31
And would ironing clothes be an additional service you can do?
32
Yes, of course.
33
It wouldn't be much.
34
Just my shirts for work that week.
35
That's fine.
36
And we could also clean your microwave if you want.
37
No, I wipe that out pretty regularly, so there's no need for that.
38
We also offer additional services that you might want a bit less often, say every month.
39
So, for example, if the inside of your windows need cleaning, we could do that.
40
Yes, that'd be good.
41
I'm on the 15th floor, so the outside gets done regularly by specialists, but the inside does get a bit grubby.
42
And we could arrange for your curtains to get cleaned if necessary.
43
No, they're okay.
44
But would you be able to do something about the balcony?
45
It's quite small and I don't use it much, but it could do with a wash every month or so.
46
Yes, we can get the pressure washer onto that.
47
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
48
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
49
Now, if you're interested, we do offer some other possibilities to do with general maintenance.
50
For example, if you have a problem with water and you need a plumber in a hurry, we can put you in touch with a reliable one who can come out straight away.
51
And the same thing if you need an electrician.
52
Right, that's good to know.
53
I've only just moved here, so I don't have any of those sorts of contacts.
54
And I don't know if this is of interest to you, but we also offer a special vacuum cleaning system
55
which can improve the indoor air quality of your home by capturing up to 99% of all the dust in the air.
56
So if you're troubled by allergies, this can make a big difference.
57
Right.
58
In fact, I don't have that sort of problem, but I'll bear it in mind.
59
Now can you tell me a bit about your cleaning staff? Of course.
60
So all our cleaners are very carefully selected.
61
When they apply to us they have to undergo a security
62
check with the police to make sure they don't have any sort of criminal background, and of course they have to provide references as well.
63
Then, if we think they might be suitable for the job, we give them training for it.
64
That lasts for two weeks, so it's very thorough, and at the end of it they have a test.
65
If they pass that, we take them on, but we monitor them very carefully.
66
We ask all our clients to complete a review of their performance after every visit and to email it to us, so we can pick up any problems straight away and deal with them.
67
Okay, well that all sounds good.
68
And will I always have the same cleaner?
69
Yes, we do our best to organise it that way and we usually manage it.
70
Good, that's fine.
71
Right, so I'd like to go ahead and get...

Lo scenario: Una conversazione reale per la vita quotidiana

Il video presenta una discussione tra un cliente e un operatore di un servizio di pulizia domestica, un contesto perfetto per esercitarti nella pratica di conversazione in inglese. Imparare a capire e partecipare a tali scambi è fondamentale per gestire situazioni reali, come prenotare servizi o chiedere informazioni. La dialettica è semplice ma ricca di espressioni utili, ideale per chi vuole migliorare la comprensione e la pronuncia.

Frasi e collocazioni da memorizzare

  • "Basic cleaning package": Pacchetto di pulizia base. Una collocazione essenziale per chiedere servizi specifici.
  • "Additional services": Servizi aggiuntivi. Utile per discutere di opzioni extra, come la pulizia del frigorifero o del balcone.
  • "Put you in touch with": Metterti in contatto con. Una frase pratica per chiedere o offrire assistenza con professionisti esterni.
  • "Pressure washer": Lavapavimenti a pressione. Un termine tecnico utile per descrivere strumenti di pulizia.
  • "Thorough clean": Pulizia approfondita. Esprime l'idea di una pulizia completa e dettagliata.

La tua sfida: Shadowing per migliorare la pronuncia inglese

Ora è il momento di mettere in pratica il shadowspeak (o shadow speech), una tecnica efficace per rafforzare la pronuncia e l'intonazione. Riproduci il video e ascolta una frase alla volta, poi ripetila immediatamente dopo, cercando di imitare il tono, la velocità e l'accento dell'interlocutore. Concentrati sulle frasi chiave come "Do you do domestic cleaning?" o "We can get the pressure washer onto that". Ripeti il esercizio per 5-10 minuti al giorno: noterai presto un miglioramento nella fluidità e nella confidenza. Ricorda: il shadowing è un modo veloce per trasformare la comprensione passiva in abilità di parlare attiva!

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

StrutturaNel video

Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsionewill hear · will be · will have
Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — qualcosa che succede adesso o in questo periodoI'm looking · we're probably looking
Obbligo: must / have to / need to dire che qualcosa è necessariohave to undergo · have to provide

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.
