Creazione lezione...
1
I'm left behind
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 phoning to enquire about a job vacancy.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions one to four.
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
Good evening, King's Restaurant.
14
Good evening.
15
I'm ringing about the job.
16
I understand you have vacant?
17
Oh, yes.
18
The job vacancy is at a restaurant, so a restaurant has been written in the space.
19
Now we shall begin.
20
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
21
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
22
still interested, we could arrange for you to come for an interview.
23
Great, thanks.
24
I'm afraid I missed the advert for the job but heard about it from a friend.
25
That's no problem at all.
26
What would you like to know?
27
Well, um, what sort of work is it?
28
Washing up?
29
It's answering the phone.
30
Oh, right, fine.
31
And not waiting at table.
32
That'd be good.
33
And how many nights a week would it be?
34
Well, we're really only busy at the weekend.
35
So, two nights?
36
Three, actually.
37
So it would work out at twelve hours a week.
38
That'd be fine.
39
It wouldn't interfere with my studies.
40
Are you at the university?
41
Yes.
42
First year physics student.
43
Oh, right.
44
Um, and because I'm not an EU national, would I need a work permit?
45
Yes, you would.
46
Just get your tutor to sign it.
47
That wouldn't be a problem if I were to get the job.
48
Um, where exactly is the restaurant?
49
Well, we have two branches.
50
The one we're recruiting for is in Hillsdun Road.
51
I don't know that.
52
How do you spell it, please?
53
It's H-I-L-L-S-D-U-N-N-E Road.
54
Got that.
55
Thanks.
56
Is it near a bus stop?
57
Yes.
58
The nearest one would probably be just beside the library.
59
Oh, yes, I know it.
60
That'd be fine for me.
61
And could I ask about the pay?
62
We're offering £4.45 an hour.
63
That's very good.
64
My last job was £3.95 an hour.
65
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions five to ten.
66
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
67
We feel it's pretty good and we also offer some good fringe benefits.
68
Really?
69
Well, we give you a free dinner so you eat well.
70
Right.
71
Better than hostile food.
72
We certainly hope so.
73
And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays.
74
Oh, that's a really good perk, isn't it?
75
Yes, we think so.
76
And then because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you're working after 11 o'clock, we drive you home.
77
Oh, that's good to know.
78
Well, we'd certainly be interested in inviting you for an interview, if you're still interested.
79
Oh yes, certainly.
80
Could I just also ask what qualities you're looking for?
81
Well, for this particular job, we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have.
82
Thanks.
83
And you must be able to think quickly, you know.
84
Well, I hope I...
85
So, when could you come in for an interview?
86
We're actually quite quiet tonight.
87
Sorry, I couldn't come tonight.
88
Or tomorrow, I'm afraid.
89
Uh, Thursday's okay.
90
That'll be 22nd of October.
91
Fine.
92
After 5pm?
93
Yes, fine.
94
Would 6 o'clock be okay?
95
Perfect.
96
And could you bring along the names of two referees?
97
Yes, that's fine.
98
No problem.
99
Good.
100
I look forward to seeing you.
101
Oh, uh, by the way, who should I ask for?
102
Oh, yes, of course.
103
Sorry.
104
My name is Samira Manuja.
105
Uh, can you spell that, please?
106
M-A-N-U-J-A OK.
107
I've got that.
108
Thanks very much.
109
Look forward to seeing you later on then.
110
That is the end of Section 1.
111
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
112
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.
