1
And finally, I'd like to tell you about our new wildlife area, Hinchingbrook Park, which will be opened to the public next month.
2
This slide doesn't really indicate how big it is, but anyway, you can see the two gates into the park and the main paths.
3
As you can see, there's a lake in the north -west of the park with
4
a bird hide to the west of it at the end of a path,
5
so it'll be a nice quiet place for watching the birds on the lake.
6
Fairly close to where refreshments are available, there's a dog walking area in the southern part of the park, leading off from the path.
7
And if you just want to sit and relax, you can go to the flower garden.
8
That's the circular area on the map, surrounded by paths.
9
And finally, there's a wooded area in the western section of the park, between two paths.
10
Okay, that's enough from me, so let's get on and have a look.

While you're on the phone, we haven't managed to find a few things we need, like extra pillows for the beds and some washing powder.
14
Is there any here?
15
"'Pillows, yes.
16
If you look in the cupboard, the large white one upstairs, to the left of the bathroom door,
17
there should be four or five on the top shelf.
18
And if you want to do some washing, there's some powder for that, um, probably by the back door.
19
There's a kind of shelf there above the sink.
20
In fact, I'm sure there's some there in a large blue box.
21
You need about half a cupful for each wash.
22
Oh, and that reminds me.
23
The spare key to the back door is hanging on a hook on the wall by the sitting room window.
24
Please make sure to put it back when you've used it.

The previous guest lost it in the garden and I had to get another one made.
26
And if you have any trouble with the lamps, you'll find some spare bulbs in a large cardboard box.
27
It's on top of the washing machine with all kinds of useful things in it oh
28
and another thing i forgot to mention
29
when we last spoke yes i've left you a local map
30
so you'll be able to find your way around easily it shows the whole area
31
i put it in the top drawer of the chest under the tv in your bedroom
32
there's a whole file of local information in there too thanks
33
what about visiting the town can you give us any advice Yes.
34
You'll need to take the car.
35
It's too far to walk from the flat, really.
36
You have to pay to leave your car in all the car parks now, I'm afraid.
37
I like the one that's by the station best, and you can walk to the town centre from there in five minutes.
38
That's where all the best restaurants are.
39
But if you want a takeaway, the Italian one does really good pasta and pizzas.
40
Call 732281 for that one, or 766119 for the Chinese.
41
They're both good, and they'll both deliver to the flat.
42
As for places to visit, yes, do go and see the Railway Museum.
43
The exhibition is small but really good.
44
It gets very crowded on Sundays, so I suggest you visit it on a quieter day,
45
later in the week but not on Thursdays which is market day.
46
You won't find anywhere to park and it's also the only day of the week when they're not open.
47
Anything else?
48
Not for the moment, thanks.
49
That is the end of section two.
50
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
51
Let's start by seeing what there is to do.
52
As you can see here on our giant wall plan, we are now situated in the reception block here.
53
As you walk out of the main door into the park, there's a path you can follow.
54
If you follow this route, you'll immediately come into the rare breeds section, where we keep a wide variety of animals,
55
which I shall be telling you a little more about later.
56
Next to this, moving east, is the large grazing area for the rare breeds.
57
Then further east, in the largest section of our park, is the forest area.
58
South of the grazing area, and in fact just next to the reception block, is our experimental crop area.
59
In the middle of the park, this circular area, is our lake.
60
These two small rectangular shapes here are the fish farms where we rear fish for sale.
61
To the east of those is the marsh area, which attracts a great many migrant birds.
62
In the south -eastern corner, beyond the marsh, is our market garden area, growing vegetables and flowers.
63
Now listen and answer questions fourteen to twenty.
64
Now, we've also put together a map which we've sent out to all the residents in the area.
65
And on the map we've marked the proposed changes.
66
Firstly, we'll plant mature pine trees to provide shelter and shade just to the right of the supermarket in Days Road.
67
In order to address the traffic problems, the pavements on the corner of Carberry and Thomas Street will be widened.
68
This will help to reduce the speed of vehicles entering Thomas Street.
69
We think it's very important to separate the local residential streets from the main road,
70
so the roadway at the entrance to Thomas Street from Days Road will be painted red.
71
This should mark it more clearly and act as a signal for traffic to slow down.
72
One way of making sure that the pedestrians are safe is to increase signage at the intersections.
73
A keep clear sign will be erected at the junction of Evelyn Street
74
and Hill Street to enable traffic to exit at all times.
75
Something we're planning to do to help control the flow of traffic in the area is to install traffic lights halfway down
76
Hill Street where it crosses Day's Road.
77
Now, we haven't only thought about the cars and traffic of course, there's also something for the children.
78
We're going to get schoolchildren in the area to research a local story, the life of a local sports hero, perhaps.
79
And an artist will incorporate
80
that story into paintings on the wall of a building on the other side of Hill Street from the supermarket.
81
And finally, we've agreed to build a new children's playground, which will be at the other end of Hill Street,
82
close to the intersection with Carberry Street.
83
Wonderful.
84
Now, what's the next stage?
85
Well, the final plan...

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.
