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 the answer sheet.
8
Now turn to part one.
9
Part one.
10
You will hear a woman phoning a company that converts old photographs to digital format.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions one to three.
12
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 3.
13
Hello, Picture Rep.
14
Can I help you?
15
Oh, hi.
16
I saw your advertisement about copying pictures to disk, and I'd like a bit more information about what you do.
17
Sure.
18
What would you like to know?
19
Well, I've got a box full of old family photos that's been up in the attic for years.
20
Some of them must be 50 or 60 years old.
21
And I'd like to get them converted to digital format.
22
Sure, we can do that for you.
23
Right.
24
And what about size?
25
The photos are all sorts of sizes.
26
Are there any restrictions?
27
Well, the maximum size of photo we can do with our normal service is 30 centimetres, and each picture must be at least four centimetres.
28
That's the minimum we can cope with.
29
That should be fine.
30
And some of them are in a frame.
31
Should I take them out before I send them?
32
Yes, please.
33
We can't copy them otherwise.
34
And also the photos must all be separate.
35
They mustn't be stuck into an album.
36
OK, that's not a problem.
37
So can you give me an idea of how much this will cost?
38
I've got about 360 photos, I think.
39
We charge £195 for 300 to 400 photos for the basic service.
40
OK, and does that include the disc?
41
Yes, one disc, but you can get extra ones for £5 each.
42
That's good.
43
So, do I need to pay when I send you the photos?
44
No, we won't need anything until we've actually copied the pictures.
45
Then we'll let you know how much it is, and once we've received the payments, we'll send the parcel off to you.
46
Right.
47
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 4 to 10.
48
Thank you.
49
Is there anything else you'd like to ask about our services?
50
Yes, I've roughly sorted out the photos into groups according to what they're about.
51
So can you keep them in those groups when you copy them?
52
Sure.
53
We'll save each group in a different folder on the disk, and if you like, you can suggest a name for each folder.
54
So I could have one called grandparents, for instance.
55
Exactly.
56
And do you do anything besides scan the photos?
57
Like, can you make any improvements?
58
Yes, in the standard service, each photo is checked and we can sometimes touch up the colour a bit or improve the contrast.
59
That can make a big difference.
60
OK.
61
And some of the photos are actually quite fragile.
62
They won't get damaged in the process, will they?
63
No. If any look particularly fragile, we'd do them by hand.
64
We do realise how precious these old photos can be.
65
Sure.
66
And another thing is we can make changes to a photo if you want.
67
So if you want to remove an object from a photo or maybe alter the background, we can do that.
68
Really?
69
I might be interested in that.
70
I'll have a look through the photos and see.
71
Oh, and talking of fixing photos, I've got a few that aren't properly in focus.
72
Can you do anything to make that better?
73
No, I'm afraid that's one thing we can't do.
74
Okay.
75
Any other information I can give you?
76
Er, oh, how long will it all take?
77
We aim to get the copying done in ten days.
78
Fine.
79
Right, well, I'll get the photos packed up in a box and post them off to you.
80
Right.
81
If you've got a strong cardboard box, that's best.
82
We've found that plastic ones sometimes break in the post.
83
OK.
84
Right.
85
Thanks for your help.
86
Bye.
87
Bye.

La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | that's been · we've actually copied · we've received |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | will be played · will be given · be stuck |
Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 25 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I've, we'll, we've. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: contrast /kənˈt(ʃ)ɹæst/, sheet /ʃit/, instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/, restriction /ɹɪˈstɹɪkʃən/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: advertisement /ˈædvɚˌtaɪzmənt/, centimetre /ˈsɛn.tɪ.miː.tə/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: disk /dɪsk/, format /ˈfɔːɹ.mæt/, convert /kənˈvɝt/, contrast /kənˈt(ʃ)ɹæst/, sheet /ʃit/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: format /ˈfɔːɹ.mæt/, fragile /ˈfɹæd͡ʒəl/, contrast /kənˈt(ʃ)ɹæst/, photograph /ˈfoʊ.təˌɡɹæf/, scan /skæn/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come disk, format, convert.
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.
