Section 1.
4
You'll hear a student phoning a student careers office about a job at a holiday resort.
5
Hello.
6
I saw an advert for holiday staff on the notice board and I'm very interested.
7
Can you tell me something about the resort?
8
Let me see.
9
Yes, those jobs are at the Sandy Shores Resort.
10
You may have heard of it, as it's quite well known in the area.
11
I'm not sure.
12
Where exactly is it?
13
It's on Jameson Island.
14
I haven't heard of that one.
15
How do you spell it?
16
J-A-M-I-E-S-O-N.
17
It was named after a famous explorer.
18
Oh, sounds interesting.
19
Yes, it's a beautiful place and as it's a large resort they have vacancies in a few different areas.
20
When would they want someone to start?
21
It looks like the applications close by the 12th of May
22
and they would need you to begin from the 11th of July.
23
Oh, that's perfect.
24
My exams finish on the 5th of July.
25
Can you tell me something about the jobs?
26
Well, first of all there is a vacancy in the Calypso Bistro.
27
That's for a waiter.
28
The work is quite easy, taking orders and serving meals.
29
You don't need any experience as they will train you.
30
That's good.
31
They've also got a few vacancies in what is called the Guest Liaison Department.
32
They are involved with the entertainment in the resort, especially the daily music shows and parades.
33
They definitely need people who can sing.
34
What's your voice like?
35
It's shocking, but I can play piano.
36
Would that be useful?
37
I don't think so.
38
They already have a band.
39
OK.
40
So what else is there?
41
Among the most popular things for guests are the games and water sports activities, which take place on the beach that belongs to the resort.
42
They are always looking for fit young people to help out with things like volleyball,
43
surfing and cricket, but they definitely need people who have worked with children for that vacancy.
44
Well, I coach junior basketball.
45
Sounds great.
46
Finally, there are vacancies in the reception area.
47
You'd work as part of the concierge department, carrying bags to and from rooms.
48
A requirement for this role is that you can drive.
49
That might seem strange, but some of the villas are quite far away from the resort hub, so they have little golf buggies to take the bags over to them.
50
I expect you'd like to know a bit more about the general benefits for staff?
51
Yes, please.
52
Do they provide free accommodation for staff?
53
It looks like they only provide it to permanent employees, but staff don't have to pay for transport to and from the island,
54
so you'd have to stay in Port Thomas, but there are plenty of cheap places there.
55
What about meals?
56
Yes, they're provided when you're on duty, so you would save money on groceries.
57
If you are interested, we can set up an interview for you.
58
I know the resort personnel manager wants interviews on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday here at the college.
59
Which day would suit you?
60
Can we do it on Thursday as I work on Wednesdays?
61
Fine.
62
Is two o'clock OK?
63
Perfect.
64
OK.
65
I've booked you in for then.
66
Is there anything I need to take to the interview?
67
Let me see.
68
Yes, you need to bring a CV giving details of your work experience and qualifications.
69
and because they are planning on interviewing a lot of people, they've asked everyone to provide a photo as well so they can remember who is who.
70
Do you have any questions?
71
That is the end of Section 1.
72
Now turn to Section 2.
73
You will hear a radio talk by Peter Gentle, the organiser of an annual walk called the Tavy Point Walk.
74
Today we're pleased to welcome Peter Gentle, who is organising this year's famous Tavie Point Walk.
75
Can you tell us about the walk, Peter?
76
Well, it's an organised group walk which takes place every year on one day in October, across some of the most beautiful scenery in the country.
77
Just about anyone with normal fitness can do it, but we have lots of volunteer stewards who are posted at regular intervals along the way to offer help if needed.
78
The walk is mainly aimed at families.
79
We want to help people to walk with their children.
80
It's healthy exercise, and it helps people get to know their local area better.
81
Now, for those of your listeners who might be interested in doing the walk, it takes place this year on Sunday the 27th of October.
82
It's 18 miles in length, so quite long, but we ensure walkers are very well looked after.
83
We like to involve as many people as possible, and it's getting busier every year.
84
For most of the walk's history, we set a maximum of 220 walkers.
85
But this year, we've been able to expand to 280 because we've got a total of 50 volunteers to help us.
86
You provide a lot of support then.
87
We have to be pretty strict about arrangements, but we do what we can to help people.
88
If someone arrives without proper clothing, we can help out from our stocks of waterproofs, for example.
89
We don't just turn them away.
90
The only time we do that is if people behave badly at the start.
91
We also spend a lot of time fielding walkers' questions about safety, both before the walk and while it's going on.
92
Do you ever cancel the walk for very bad weather?
93
Yes, but it hasn't happened for several years.
94
However, a couple of years ago, the organisers made a decision to cancel
95
because we didn't get as many volunteers as we needed to act as stewards on the walk.
96
The team felt really awful about it, but these things happen.
97
If something does go amiss, we try to inform all walkers well in advance.
98
Now, if any of your listeners are interested in joining the walk,
99
they should go to our website at www.tavywalk.org and give us their details.
100
It costs £4.50 each to enter, and that covers a bottle of juice and a hot pie.
101
It also helps towards maintaining the 12 staff checkpoints at different parts on the route.
102
About 90% of our walkers do complete the whole 18-mile route, but if you're not well or feel you can't go any further, just inform the stewards when you get to the checkpoint,
103
and they'll organise transport to get you where you need to go.
104
If you do complete the course, you are entitled to receive a badge.
105
Now, unfortunately, we can't give those to you immediately on finishing.
106
If you want one, you have to order it one week before the walk, and you'll get it by post two weeks after the walk.
107
As long as you finish, of course.
108
It may seem a strange system, but we found it works because only those walkers who really want a badge get one.
109
What do walkers need to take with them?
110
Good question.
111
When you register for the walk, we send you a booklet with all the key information.
112
But basically, we do say that you should be properly dressed.
113
Now, it must be emphasised that this doesn't mean that you wear thick trousers like jeans.
114
Lighter, waterproof apparel is better.
115
Some people like to bring their mobile phones, but there isn't always a good signal.
116
And remember, the checkpoints are there, so you can always rely on those.
117
Some people asked if they should bring a torch, but frankly, they're a waste of space and weight.
118
It's a relatively gentle, straightforward walk
119
Another thing people ask about is refreshments Whether you carry things like high-energy drinks is up to you And finally,
120
we say it's a very good idea to bring a rucksack But what size is up to the individual
121
But as I say, there's full information in the walker's booklet Well,
122
thank you very much, Peter That is the end of Section 2 Now turn to section 3.
123
You will hear two students, called Charlie and Delia, discussing a joint assignment for their human geography course.
124
Hi, Delia.
125
Shall we get down to planning our assignment?
126
We haven't got long now before the deadline.
127
I know.
128
And it's quite open-ended, isn't it?
129
Just research and analyze data about energy consumption in a given region.
130
Yes, and all we've done so far is check out a few likely websites.
131
Shall we exchange ideas about those first? those first?
132
Hmm, good idea.
133
Let me look at my notes.
134
Okay, I had a preliminary look at one or two websites.
135
There was National Geographic.
136
The thing there that struck me was a facility for creating tailor-made maps.
137
We might like to use that when it comes to presenting our findings.
138
Right.
139
That would make some types of data instantly clear, I guess.
140
Also, I checked out the United Nations website.
141
That one had masses of useful stuff, only I couldn't get at it.
142
I know.
143
It was for subscribers only, right?
144
And we don't want to get into that sort of thing.
145
After all, it's not a major piece of work we're doing.
146
Yes, I agree.
147
I looked at the website of an agency called the Energy Information Administration.
148
There were some population statistics there that we could use, But there didn't seem to be any figures for energy use,
149
so that site would only be suitable to a limited extent for our purposes.
150
I thought the British Petroleum website might be a good place to get information about energy use.
151
Oh, good thinking.
152
There was lots of data, actually.
153
The only thing is, it went into more depth than was necessary for our assignment,
154
and we'd have to collate a lot of the figures to arrive at an overview.
155
So I didn't think it was quite what we were looking for.
156
I also looked on the Central Intelligence Agency website.
157
Hmm, I never had thought of that.
158
Something worth noting.
159
It seemed to be the only place I looked at that had data for this current year.
160
Oh, right.
161
I'm not sure about the websites I looked at.
162
I didn't look carefully enough, I guess.
163
And I also found stuff on the World Bank site, and that had figures going back quite a long way.
164
Okay.
165
Fine.
166
We know roughly what we're doing, but have you got any more definite thoughts about what our subject matter should be?
167
I think one thing we've got to be careful about is biting off more than we can chew.
168
Yes, especially as it doesn't count towards our final assessment anyway.
169
So, shall we just limit it to data about population size and energy consumption?
170
How about if we add in one other factor, carbon emissions?
171
I think it'd be interesting to see what the interaction between those three factors is like.
172
Okay.
173
But in that case, we originally planned to stick to countries in North and South America.
174
But what if we narrowed it down further?
175
I'd be happy with that.
176
How about, let's say, 20 countries in all, the top 10 consumers of energy in the region, and also the bottom 10?
177
Sounds good.
178
And we can calculate per capita consumption and per capita emissions to allow valid comparisons.
179
Actually, it would be interesting to look at a breakdown of the types of energy each of those countries uses.
180
You know, how much coal, how much wind power, how much nuclear power, and so on.
181
But we did just agree to restrict our data.
182
I know.
183
And then, what about the way we present our data?
184
Our tutor said that's one of the things she'll be looking at in particular, especially our graphics.
185
Don't you think a bar chart would be more effective than a set of tables with figures?
186
It might, but I've got another idea.
187
I'm keen to display our data on a map instead.
188
We can easily find a software program to do that.
189
Brilliant.
190
Thanks.
191
One last thing, Charlie, and then we better go away and get started.
192
Who's going to do what?
193
Your math is better than mine, so I'll volunteer to search out all of the raw data we need if you're prepared to do the necessary number crunching.
194
OK, but can you get them to me as soon as possible?
195
I'll do it tonight.
196
OK, and I tell you what, since the graphics were my idea, I'll take those on.
197
But do you mind doing the text?
198
You've got a better way with words than I have that's
199
okay with me as long as you'll agree to look over everything
200
and give it the finishing touches before we hand it in
201
it's a deal shall we meet at the same time tomorrow or
202
that is the end of section 3 now turn to section
203
4 you will hear a university lecturer talking to his students
204
about an architectural studies assignment okay before this morning's lecture on
205
successful design of public buildings I want to draw your attention to your next assignment
206
so your assignment is on public monuments and by
207
that I mean any structure or statue
208
that is built to remind us of important events
209
or of historic figures the assignment should be divided into three
210
sections at the beginning of section one you should identify the monument you're examining
211
and say why you've chosen it include a comment on whether you think the monument works by
212
that I mean its success you may think it's wonderful you may think it's a public eyesore something
213
that people hate looking at next you should also include in
214
this first section information about where the monument was built its geographical site
215
and also a a discussion of its social importance how relevant it was for the people of the time
216
you should also include information on when it was built its historical background
217
and make sure you illustrate the assignment appropriately too i shall expect
218
that insert any plans you can find
219
and make sure any photographs you use have captions and are clearly referred to in the text
220
or they will be meaningless to end this section you should
221
include something about the record of the person who designed the monument showing how the monument relates to his
222
or her other work
223
right in section two of the assignment you'll need to give a detailed account of the design
224
and construction of the monument firstly i'll want to read about
225
any particular influence you think is apparent in the design more often than not there will be something in it
226
that links it to an established style classical greek for example
227
or it may reflect a movement like bauhaus
228
or art nouveau you decide secondly i want information about the choice of materials not only those
229
which were used but reasons why they may have been selected from others
230
that were available at the time
231
and in the area where the designer worked next i'll want to mention of any particular skills
232
that were necessary in the construction too the third section is the most important one
233
here you'll go into much more critical detail to add to
234
your own comments you'll need to carry out a survey for this section to be as comprehensive
235
and rounded as possible ask yourself
236
and others the following questions firstly was the reason for erecting
237
the monument a valid one for example was it one
238
that ordinary members of the public the man
239
or woman on the street can readily relate to
240
and did it justify how much public money it cost was it a waste
241
or does it represent a sound cultural investment then think about its emotional impact
242
when someone looks at it how do they feel
243
angry sad indifferent and don't forget to consider how well the monument sits in its environment
244
does it harmonize with it or does it clash with it
245
and is that important does it add to the effect
246
or take away from it right those guidelines should help oh
247
and remember it is important to weigh up carefully how to
248
make the maximum impact in this kind of critique within the
249
number of words allowable you don't get extra marks for lots
250
of factual information you get those for a well constructed analysis that's what counts
251
and that needs to be based on your personal opinion that is the end of section 4.

- Trascrivi il dialogo: Scrivi il testo mentre ascolti. Questo ti aiuterà a riconoscere le parole e le frasi.
- Ripeti in tempo reale: Esegui il shadow speech seguendo il dialogo parole per parole. Questo miglioramento diretto della tua pronuncia sarà molto utile.
- Analizza e correggi: Dopo aver completato il shadowing, riascolta la registrazione mentre segui la tua trascrizione. Identifica eventuali errori e ripeti le frasi che ti creano difficoltà.
Questa guida ti aiuterà a migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la tua confidenza nell'uso della lingua. Integrare l'inglese nella tua vita quotidiana attraverso video e esercitazioni è un passo fondamentale per diventare fluente. Buona pratica!
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.
