Creazione lezione...
1
Test 2.
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 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
8
Now turn to part one.
9
Part 1.
10
You will hear a woman from a job agency giving information to a man about work in a chain of restaurants.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
12
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
13
So I understand you're interested in restaurant work?
14
Yes, I've got a bit of experience and I can provide references.
15
That's good.
16
I can check all that later.
17
Now, Milo's restaurants have some vacancies at the moment.
18
They're a really good company to work for.
19
Lots of benefits.
20
All right.
21
Yes.
22
They've got a very good reputation for looking after staff, For example, all employees get training, even temporary staff.
23
Oh, really?
24
That's quite unusual, isn't it?
25
Certainly is.
26
And do staff get free uniforms too?
27
Um...
28
You just need to wear a white T -shirt and black trousers, it says here.
29
So I guess not.
30
But another benefit of working for a big company like this is
31
that you can get a discount at any of their restaurants.
32
Even at weekends?
33
No, but you'll be working then anyway.
34
Oh, yes, I suppose so.
35
Erm, most of their restaurants are in the city centre, aren't they?
36
So easy to get to by bus?
37
Yes, that's right.
38
but if you have to do a late shift and finish work after midnight, The company will pay for you to get a taxi home.
39
I probably won't need one.
40
I think I'd use my bike.
41
OK.
42
Now, they do have some quite specific requirements for the kind of person they're looking for, Milo's is a young, dynamic company,
43
and they're really keen on creating a strong team.
44
It's really important that you can fit in and get on well with everyone.
45
Yeah, I've got no problem with that.
46
It sounds good, actually.
47
The last place I worked for was quite demanding too.
48
We had to make sure we gave a really high level of service.
49
That's good to hear, because that will be equally important at Milo's.
50
I know they want people who have an eye for detail.
51
That's fine.
52
I'm very used to working in that kind of environment.
53
Perfect.
54
So the only other thing that's required is good communication skills, so you'll need to have a certificate in English.
55
Sure.
56
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
57
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
58
OK, let's have a look at the current job vacancies at Milo's.
59
The first one is in Wivenhoe Street.
60
Sorry, where?
61
"'Wivenho!' W -I -V -E -N -H -O -E.
62
It's quite central, just off Cork Street.
63
Oh, right.
64
They're looking for a breakfast supervisor.
65
That would be OK.
66
"'So you're probably familiar with the kind of responsibilities involved.' obviously checking that all the portions are correct,
67
etc., And then things like checking all the procedures for cleaning the equipment are being followed.
68
Oh, okay.
69
And what about the salary?
70
In my last job I was getting £9 .50 per hour.
71
I was hoping to get a bit more than that.
72
Well, to begin with you'd be getting £9 .75, but that goes up to £11 .25 after three months.
73
That's not too bad.
74
And I suppose it's a very early start.
75
That's the only unattractive thing about this job.
76
But then you have the afternoons and evenings free, So, the restaurant starts serving breakfast from 7am,
77
and you'd have to be there at 5 .30 to set everything up.
78
But you'd be finished at 12 .30.
79
Hmm.
80
Well, as you say, there are advantages to that.
81
Now, you might also be interested in the job at the City Road Branch, That's for a junior chef, so again a position of responsibility.
82
I might prefer that, actually.
83
Right.
84
Well, obviously this role would involve supporting the sous chef and other senior staff.
85
"'and you'd be responsible for making sure there's enough stock each week.' and sorting out all the deliveries.
86
I've never done that before, but I imagine it's fairly straightforward once you get the hang of it.
87
Yes and you'd be working alongside more experienced staff to begin with, "'so I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.' The salary's slightly higher here.
88
It's an annual salary of £23 ,000.
89
Right.
90
I know that if they like you, it's likely you'll be promoted quite quickly, so that's worth thinking about.
91
Yes, it does sound interesting.
92
What are the hours like?
93
The usual, I think.
94
There's a lot of evening and weekend work, but they're closed on Mondays.
95
but you do get one Sunday off every four weeks.
96
So would you like me to send off your CV?
97
That is the end of part one.
98
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

Perché praticare la conversazione con questo video?

Praticare la conversazione in inglese attraverso questo video offre un'ottima opportunità per migliorare le competenze linguistiche in un contesto reale. Ascoltando un'interazione tra un candidato e un'agenzia di lavoro, puoi acquisire familiarità con il lessico specifico del settore della ristorazione e comprendere come le persone si presentano in contesti professionali. La pratica di conversazione in inglese ti aiuterà a sviluppare la tua capacità di esprimerti in modo fluido e convincente, rendendoti più a tuo agio in situazioni simili nella vita reale. Inoltre, ascoltare il video ti permette di intuire il tono e l'atteggiamento appropriati per affrontare colloqui di lavoro.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

Durante il video, vengono utilizzate alcune strutture grammaticali e espressioni chiave che possono essere utili per chi sta imparando l'inglese con youtube. Ecco alcune di esse:

  • "I've got a bit of experience and I can provide references." – Questa frase mostra l'uso del presente perfetto per indicare esperienze passate che hanno rilevanza nel presente.
  • "It's really important that you can fit in and get on well with everyone." – Qui viene utilizzato il congiuntivo per esprimere l'importanza di adattarsi al contesto lavorativo.
  • "They do have some quite specific requirements." – L'uso dell'avverbio “quite” enfatizza il messaggio e rende la dichiarazione più forte.

Queste frasi non sono solo utili per la comprensione del video, ma possono essere facilmente integrate nel tuo repertorio linguistico quotidiano.

Trappole comuni di pronuncia

La pronuncia può risultare complicata, soprattutto per i non madrelingua. Durante l'ascolto del video, presta attenzione a parole come "restaurant" e "experience." Queste parole possono presentare difficoltà a causa delle loro consonanti e vocali, che spesso sono mute o si pronunciano in modi diversi a seconda del contesto. Utilizzare tecniche di shadowing in inglese può aiutarti a migliorare la pronuncia e renderti più sicuro nel parlare. Ripeti le frasi mentre ascolti, cercando di imitare il ritmo e l'intonazione dei parlanti.

Incorporando l'ascolto attivo e il migliorare la pronuncia inglese attraverso l'imitazione, puoi affinare le tue abilità e prepararti a conversazioni reali: in questo modo, non solo comprendi meglio, ma riesci anche a comunicare in modo più efficace.

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.
