Part 2.
2
You will hear the manager of a child care service at
3
a primary school talking to parents at an open day about the school's child care service offered before and after school.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
6
Good afternoon.
7
My name's Mrs Carter and I run the Before and After School Extended Hours Child Care Service.
8
I hope you've had a chance to have a good look around the school and talk to staff and pupils.
9
I know that many of you are interested in using our child care service when your child joins the school,
10
and perhaps you already know something about it.
11
But, for those that don't,
12
I'll go through the main details now.
13
We offer childcare for children from the ages of 4 to 11,
14
both before and after school.
15
I know that many parents who work find this service invaluable.
16
You can leave your child with us,
17
safe in the knowledge that they will be extremely well cared for.
18
We are ensured to provide care for up to 70 children
19
although we rarely have this many attending at any one session
20
i think we generally expect around 50 to 60 children for the afternoon sessions
21
and about half
22
that number for the breakfast sessions although we currently do have
23
70 children registered with us not all of these attend every
24
day it's 10 years since we began offering an extended hours service
25
and we've come a long way during that time
26
when we first opened we only had about 20 children attending
27
regularly we try to keep our costs as low as we can
28
and we think we provide very good value for money for the afternoon sessions which run from 3.30 until 6pm, it's £7.20.
29
But if you prefer, you can pay for one hour only,
30
which costs £3.50, or two hours, which costs £5.70.
31
The cost of the childcare includes food and snacks.
32
They'll be given breakfast in the morning and in the afternoon,
33
a healthy snack as soon as they finish school.
34
At 5pm, children are given something more substantial,
35
such as pasta or a casserole.
36
Please inform us of any allergies that your child might have and we'll make sure they're offered a suitable alternative.
37
As you may know, the childcare service runs through the school holidays from 8am to 6pm.
38
We offer a really varied and exciting programme to keep the children entertained.
39
We don't want them to feel as if they are still at school.
40
It will also feel different because they'll get the chance to make new friends with children from other schools.
41
Spaces are available for them because a lot of our term time children don't always attend during the holiday.
42
In the past, parents have asked
43
if children over the age of 11 are allowed to come with their younger brothers and sisters,
44
but I'm afraid we're unable to do this because of the type of insurance we have.
45
before you hear the rest of the talk you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20
46
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
47
So now let me tell you about some of the activities that your child can do during the after-school sessions.
48
As well as being able to use the playground equipment,
49
computers and the library, there is usually at least one special activity that children can do each day. For example, Spanish.
50
We have a specialist teacher coming in every Thursday to give a basic introduction to the language through games and songs.
51
She does two sessions, one for the over-eights and one for the younger children.
52
This is the only activity which we have to make an extra charge for,
53
but it's well worth it.
54
Once a week, the children have the opportunity to do some music.
55
we're very lucky that one of our staff is a member of a folk band.
56
On Mondays she teaches singing and percussion to groups of children.
57
We do rely on parental support for this,
58
so if any of you sing or play an instrument and would be prepared to help out at these sessions,
59
we'd be delighted.
60
Painting continues to be one of the most popular activities.
61
To begin with, we weren't keen on offering this because of the extra mess involved,
62
but children kept asking if they could do some art,
63
and so we finally gave in.
64
Art is great for helping the children to relax after working hard at school all day.
65
Yoga is something that we've been meaning to introduce for some time,
66
but haven't been able to find anyone available to teach it,
67
until now that is.
68
So we'll see how this goes.
69
Hopefully, children will benefit in all sorts of ways from this.
70
Cooking is another popular activity.
71
They make a different sort of cake or pizza or bread each week.
72
Although the younger children love doing it,
73
we found that the mess was just too much.
74
So we've decided to restrict this to the over-eights,
75
as they are better able to clean up after themselves.
76
That is the end of part two.
77
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part two.
78
Thank you.

Guida Passo Passo al Shadowing

Il shadow speak è una tecnica preziosa per migliorare le tue abilità di ascolto e pronuncia in inglese. Ecco come puoi affrontare le difficoltà specifiche di questo video:

  1. Ascolta con Attenzione: Prima di iniziare a ripetere, guarda attentamente la trascrizione. Comprendere il contesto ti aiuterà a cogliere meglio le sottigliezze linguistiche.
  2. Suddividi in Parti: Non cercare di “shadowspeak” tutto in una volta. Suddividi la registrazione nel suo contenuto principale e ascolta un segmento alla volta. Prova a ripetere a voce alta ogni frase dopo averla ascoltata.
  3. Imita l'Intonazione: Fai attenzione all'intonazione e al ritmo della signora Carter. I dettagli tonali possono cambiare completamente il significato di una frase.
  4. Pratica Regolarmente: Dedica del tempo ogni giorno a questa pratica. Utilizza un shadowing site per integrare diversi accenti e stili di comunicazione.
  5. Controlla i Progressi: Registra le tue sessioni di shadow speech e riascoltale. Nota i miglioramenti nel pronunciarie e prova a identificare le aree in cui puoi migliorare ulteriormente.

Utilizzando queste strategie, non solo potrai migliorare le tue abilità linguistiche, ma anche acquisire fiducia nel tuo utilizzo della lingua inglese per situazioni quotidiane.

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.
