Test 3.
2
Part 1.
3
You will hear a woman phoning to ask about a summer cycling camp for her young son, who is called Charlie.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
6
Hello, Junior Cycle Camp.
7
Jake speaking.
8
Hi.
9
I'm calling for some information about the cycle camp.
10
I'm thinking of sending my son.
11
Great.
12
Well, it's held every weekday morning over the summer vacation,
13
and we focus on basic cycling skills and safety.
14
We have eight levels for children from three years upwards.
15
How old's your son?
16
Charlie, he's seven.
17
He can ride a bike, but he needs a little more training before he's safe to go on the road.
18
He'd probably be best in Level 5.
19
They start off practicing on the site here, and we aim to get them riding on the road.
20
But first, they're taken to ride in the park, away from the traffic.
21
Right.
22
And can you tell me a bit about the instructors?
23
Well, all our staff wear different colored shirts.
24
So we have three supervisors and they have red shirts.
25
They support the instructors and they also stand in for me if I'm not around.
26
Then the instructors themselves are in blue shirts and one of these is responsible for each class.
27
Okay.
28
In order to be accepted, all our instructors have to submit a reference from someone who's seen them work with children,
29
like if they've worked as a babysitter, for example.
30
Then they have to complete our training course, including how to do lesson plans,
31
and generally care for the well-being of the kids in their class.
32
They do a great job, I have to say.
33
Right.
34
And tell me a bit about the classes.
35
What size will Charlie's class be?
36
We have a limit of eight children in each class, so their instructor really gets to know them well.
37
They're out riding most of the time, but they have quiet times, too, where their instructor
38
might tell them a story that's got something to do with cycling
39
or get them to play a game together it's a lot of fun it must be now what happens
40
if there's rain Do the classes still run?
41
Oh, yes.
42
We don't let that put us off.
43
We just put on our waterproofs and keep cycling.
44
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
45
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
46
And is there anything special Charlie should bring along with him?
47
Well, maybe some spare clothes, especially if the weather's not so good.
48
And a snack for break time?
49
How about a drink?
50
No, we'll provide that.
51
And make sure he has shoes, not sandals.
52
Sure.
53
And just at present, Charlie has to take medication every few hours, so I'll make sure he has that.
54
Absolutely.
55
Just give us details of when he has to take it, and we'll make sure he does.
56
Thanks.
57
Now, there are a few things you should know about day one of the camp.
58
The classes normally start at 9.30 every morning.
59
But on day one, you should aim to get Charlie here by 9.20.
60
The finishing time will be 12.30 as usual.
61
We need the additional time because there are a few extra things to do.
62
The most important is that we have a very careful check to make sure that every child's helmet fits properly.
63
If it doesn't fit, we'll try to adjust it or we'll find him another one.
64
But he must wear it all the time he's on the bike. Of course.
65
Then after that, all the instructors will be waiting to meet their classes.
66
And they'll meet up in the tent.
67
You can't miss it.
68
And each instructor will take their class away and get started.
69
Okay.
70
Well, that all sounds good.
71
Now, can you tell me how much the camp costs a week?
72
$199.
73
We've managed to keep the price more or less the same as last year.
74
It was $190 then.
75
But the places are filling up quite quickly.
76
Right.
77
Okay, well, I'd like to book further...
78
That is the end of part one.

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.
