レッスンを作成中...
1
You will hear a woman talking on the telephone to a man about a car he is selling.
2
First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
3
You will see that there is an example which has been done for you.
4
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
5
Hello, Brian Park speaking.
6
Oh, hello.
7
I'm calling about the advert in the paper.
8
For the car?
9
Yes, the Mini you've got advertised for sale.
10
Oh, yes.
11
I just wanted to find out a bit more information. Of course.
12
What would you like to know?
13
It's my brother who's interested, actually.
14
But he's not in today, so he asked me to call you.
15
Fine.
16
Great, thanks.
17
so it's a mini?
18
Yep.
19
And how old is it?
20
Just coming up to 13 years old.
21
The man says the car is just coming up to 13 years old, so 13 has been written in the space.
22
Now we shall begin.
23
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
24
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
25
who's interested actually but he's not in today
26
so he asked me to call you fine great thanks
27
so it's a mini yep
28
and how old is it just coming up to 13 years old
29
and i seem to remember from the ad
30
that it's gray that's it doesn't show the dirt absolutely anyway the colors shouldn't be a problem for Jeff.
31
You know, the important thing is the quality.
32
Yes, of course.
33
And what about mileage?
34
With it being pretty old, it's probably over a hundred thousand?
35
Actually, it's forty thousand less than that.
36
Sixty-two thousand on the clock.
37
Great!
38
I remember now.
39
I'm confusing it with another ad I was looking at.
40
Right.
41
Pleasant surprise then.
42
Yeah.
43
Have you been the only owner, or was there a previous one?
44
I'm the second one.
45
Before, it was owned by a teacher, who was a very careful driver.
46
Didn't have any accidents.
47
Very good.
48
And what about you?
49
What do you tend to use it for?
50
I haven't used it all that much.
51
Mostly for shopping.
52
You know, the sort of thing.
53
So, not much wear and tear.
54
I'll make a note of that.
55
I know Geoff wanted me to check that.
56
Right.
57
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
58
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
59
Now, about the price, I see you've got it down as £1,250.
60
I'm not sure Jeff will be able to come up with that amount.
61
In the ad, I did say £1,250 or nearest offer.
62
So would you be prepared to go down to £1,000?
63
That's really too low, I'm afraid.
64
£1,100?
65
I might be able to go to that.
66
OK, I'll make a note of that.
67
What about tax?
68
Is it due soon?
69
Got another five months before it's due.
70
Oh, that's a real plus, yes.
71
I'll make a note of that.
72
OK.
73
Now, you say it's in good condition.
74
For its age, I'd say yes, definitely.
75
It's just been serviced and there were no major problems.
76
Major.
77
I'd be able to show you the service report.
78
The only thing is, you'd have to get a new tyre in the near future.
79
Though it's still OK, you know.
80
It's certainly absolutely safe at the moment.
81
OK, fair enough.
82
Yes, I understand.
83
And the garage also mentioned that one headlight could probably do with replacing.
84
They think there's a fault there, you know, intermittent...
85
Well, we'd obviously look at all the documents, but that sounds very straightforward. Of course.
86
I've got all the service documents up to date, and you can look at those.
87
Well, it all sounds pretty good, and I know my brother will be interested.
88
So, would it be possible for him to see the car?
89
He's back from his trip tomorrow, and away tonight.
90
So, how about tomorrow?
91
Tomorrow?
92
Wednesday?
93
I'm afraid that's not possible.
94
I'm out pretty much all day.
95
Well, Thursday, then?
96
That'd be fine, yeah.
97
In the morning?
98
Yes, that'd suit me perfectly.
99
Great.
100
Now, you'll need my address.
101
Oh, yes, of course.
102
What is it?
103
It's number 238.
104
Two, three, eight?
105
London Road.
106
Oh, that's easy enough.
107
Yes, very straightforward.
108
So, I'll pass on these notes to Jeff, and he'll see you in a couple...
109
That is the end of Section 1.
110
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
111
Thank you.
112
Now turn to section two.
113
Test three, section two.
114
You will hear part of a podcast for visitors to the popular holiday region called the Treloar Valley.
115
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
116
Now listen and answer questions 11 to 14.
117
The valley and estuary of the River Treloor forms an unspoiled,
118
beautiful landscape, rich in both wildlife and sites of historic interest.
119
There are many ways to explore the area, and public transport links are good.
120
It is possible to leave your car behind and travel by boat, train, or bus with just short walks in between stops.
121
The Treloar Valley Passenger Ferry runs between villages along the river estuary, and provides a link with a train station at Barry,
122
which is about ten minutes' walk from the riverside village of Calton.
123
In the past, the river was the main form of transport in the area, and as in the past, today's ferry service operates according to nature.
124
The river estuary is tidal, and so the ferry timetable differs from day to day, according to the times and height of the tide.
125
The ferry is also seasonal, normally running between April and September, depending on the weather.
126
A timetable for the whole year can be downloaded from the Internet by visiting www.treloreferry.co.uk.
127
If you just want to sit and relax and enjoy the lovely scenery, you can take a river cruise to Calton and back from the nearby city of Plymouth.
128
In the past, steamships brought early tourists along the same route.
129
Queen Victoria and her family enjoyed such a trip in 1856.
130
The journey is quicker these days.
131
The round trip takes between four and five hours, depending on tides and weather.
132
If you prefer, you can travel upriver by boat and return to Plymouth by train.
133
All cruise boats and trains have wheelchair access.
134
For more information and for departure times,
135
ring Plymouth Boat Cruises on 017-528-23104.
136
Trains run several times a day throughout the year between Calton and Plymouth, with various stops in between.
137
They're used by both local commuters and tourists who want to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
138
The highlight of the journey is crossing the river on the stunning viaduct, which was built at the beginning of the 20th century,
139
and towers 120 feet over the water.
140
It is unnecessary to book, and tickets can be bought on the train.
141
For information about fares and timetables, contact National Rail Enquiries by phone or online.
142
The bus service in the Treloar Valley now connects all train stations and villages in the area.
143
Especially for holidaymakers, there's a rover ticket, which can be used at weekends and on national holidays, and allows unlimited journeys on those days.
144
The rover ticket provides great value for money, and is now even cheaper than it was last year.
145
An adult ticket costs £5.50 a day.
146
Senior citizens can travel for £4.50, and a family ticket for up to five people costs just £12.
147
Tickets can be bought on the bus.
148
Now you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
149
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
150
At the center of the Treloar Estuary area is the historic Riverside village of Kelton.
151
The main road comes into the village from the south, and for those of you who are arriving by bus,
152
it turns left just before the bridge and stops in the lay-by on the left-hand side.
153
From there, it's just a short walk to Kelton's various attractions.
154
If you're arriving by car, you have to leave it in the main car park.
155
Go over the bridge and take the first turning on the right, then go on until you come to the end of that road.
156
It's the only place to park in Calton, but there's no charge.
157
If you're interested in local history, there's a museum in Calton with farming, fishing, and household implements from the late 19th century.
158
As you come in from the south, cross the river and go straight on the same road until you reach the end.
159
Also, on the subject of history, you can go and see the old mill, which has recently been renovated and put back into use.
160
Turn left before you come to the bridge, then go straight on and then take the first turning on the right.
161
This leads straight there.
162
If you're interested in arts and crafts, there's a potter's studio where you can watch the artist at work.
163
After crossing the bridge, turn left, and it's the second building on the left.
164
Finally, when you feel in need of refreshments, there's a cafe opposite the old boathouse and a picnic area near the mill.
165
That is the end of Section 2.
166
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
167
Thank you. to section 3.
168
Test 3, section 3.
169
You will hear two geography students talking.
170
An older student, called Howard, is giving advice to a younger student, called Joanne, on writing her dissertation.
171
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
172
Thank you.
173
21 to 24.
174
Hi, Howard.
175
I haven't seen you for a while.
176
Hi, Joanne.
177
Yeah, they're keeping us really busy on the postgraduate programme.
178
But how are you?
179
You'll be starting your dissertation soon, won't you?
180
Yeah, tutorials start next week.
181
I've got Dr Peterson.
182
You'll remember it all from last year, of course.
183
It's not something you forget easily.
184
But seriously, although I didn't expect to enjoy writing my dissertation, and in fact I didn't really find it much fun,
185
I wouldn't have missed the experience.
186
I found it really improved my understanding of the whole degree programme, you know, from the first year on.
187
Right.
188
So what are you doing yours on?
189
Glaciated landscapes, although I haven't decided exactly what aspect yet.
190
I did mine on climate systems, so I can't help you much, I'm afraid.
191
But you'll be fine once you start your tutorials.
192
Dr Peterson will help you focus.
193
I know, and he'll set me deadlines for the different stages, which is what I need.
194
My concern is that I've got tons of material on the topic, and I won't be able to stick to the word limit, you know.
195
I remember I had different concerns when I was doing my dissertation.
196
Last year.
197
Yeah, before my first tutorial, I did a lot of fairly general reading, because I hadn't fixed on my topic at that stage.
198
I actually enjoyed that quite a lot and really improved my reading speed, you know, so I was getting through a lot of material.
199
I was frightened I wouldn't remember it all, though, so I got into the habit of making very detailed notes.
200
So did you find your tutor helpful in getting you started?
201
Yeah, we certainly had some interesting discussions, but it's funny.
202
I saw a brilliant programme about climate change, and it was that that really fired me up.
203
It was talking about some recent research which seemed to contradict some of the articles I'd been reading.
204
Now you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
205
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
206
So you say your tutorials start next week?
207
Yeah.
208
Well, the first month's crucial.
209
You've got to meet your tutor and decide on your focus, but don't become too dependent on him.
210
You know, don't see him every week, only when you want to check something.
211
Right.
212
Once you've got the focus, you've got to get reading.
213
It's helpful to look through the bibliographies for all the course modules relating to your topic, and get hold of any books you think you'll need.
214
I haven't got much money.
215
I mean, get the books from the library.
216
Far better.
217
And I suppose I should prepare a detailed outline of the chapters?
218
Yeah, absolutely.
219
But don't feel you have to follow it slavishly.
220
It's meant to be flexible.
221
OK.
222
Now, I'm someone who likes to get writing quickly.
223
I can't just sit and read for a month.
224
Not like me, then.
225
But if that's what suits you, you know, your natural approach, then you really ought to start immediately and write the first chapter.
226
Right.
227
Now, Joanne, about the library, it's worthwhile getting on good terms with the staff.
228
They aren't always helpful with undergraduates.
229
I suppose they focus on postgrads more.
230
Maybe.
231
But show them you're serious about wanting to do good work.
232
And what if I can't find what I need?
233
Well, there's interlibrary loans.
234
Borrowing books from other libraries.
235
But I've heard it isn't all that reliable.
236
You're right.
237
But you probably won't need it anyway. Be positive.
238
The library is likely to have most things you need.
239
And during the dissertation writing period, you can take out 15 instead of the usual 10 books.
240
Should I look at previous year's dissertations?
241
You can do.
242
But I won't know which are the good ones.
243
The library only keeps the best, and the staff can advise you.
244
Are they willing to do that?
245
Oh, yeah.
246
And I'm worried about getting journal articles from the electronic library.
247
Have you tried to find any yet?
248
No. Well, you should.
249
It's really straightforward.
250
That's obviously something I'll have to look into.
251
Dr. Peterson will help.
252
Yeah, I know I can go to him if I have any worries.
253
Except he will be away in the second month.
254
It's the holidays.
255
You should ask him what to do while he's away.
256
Gosh, yeah.
257
But I suppose I can get a lot of support from coursemates.
258
I know a couple of people who are thinking of doing the same topic as me.
259
Take care.
260
Collaboration can become dependency.
261
I think you'd better see how that works out, what the people are like.
262
You're probably right.
263
About other reading, I suppose Dr Peterson will recommend plenty of good articles to get me started.
264
One thing I'd find out is what his attitude is to internet sources.
265
Surely not in this day and age.
266
I'd better get that sorted out right at the beginning.
267
I would if I were you.
268
And I've also got some questions about the research sections.
269
How much time I should spend explaining the process?
270
Well, I think that's up to you.
271
You can see how it develops as you're writing.
272
OK.
273
It's the same with things like time management.
274
That's something a tutor can't really help you with.
275
I agree.
276
So, is there anything else you need me to go over?
277
That is the end of Section 3.
278
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
279
Thank you.
280
Now turn to section 4.
281
Test 3, section 4.
282
You will hear a psychology undergraduate describing the research she is currently doing on expertise in creative writing.
283
First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
284
Now listen and answer questions 31 to 40.
285
For my short presentation today, I'm going to summarise the work I've done so far on my research project to explore expertise in creative writing.
286
Essentially, I'll share with you the process I underwent to gather my interim findings.
287
First of all, I should give a little relevant background information about myself.
288
Before I started my current degree course in cognitive psychology, I studied English literature.
289
And, as you can imagine, this meant I spent a great deal of time thinking about the notion of creativity
290
and what makes people develop into successful writers.
291
However, the idea for this research project came from a very specific source.
292
I became fascinated with the idea of what makes an expert creative writer when I read a well-known 20th century writer's autobiography.
293
I won't say which one at this stage, because I think that might prejudice your interpretation.
294
Anyway, this got me thinking about the different routes to expertise.
295
Specifically, I wondered why some people become experts at things whilst others fail to do so,
296
in spite of the fact that they may be equally gifted and work equally hard.
297
I started to read about how other researchers had explored similar questions in other fields.
298
I began to see a pattern that those studies which involved research in a lab were too controlled for my purposes, and I decided to avoid reading them.
299
I was quite surprised to find that the clearest guidance for my topic came from investigations into what I call practical skills,
300
such as hairdressing or waiting tables.
301
Most of these studies tended to use a similar set of procedures, which I eventually adopted for my own project.
302
I'll now explain what these procedures were.
303
I decided to compare what inexperienced writers do with what experienced writers do.
304
In order to investigate this, I looked for four people whom I regarded as real novices in this field, which proved easy, perhaps unsurprisingly.
305
It proved much harder to locate people with suitably extensive experience who were willing to take part in my study.
306
I asked the first four to do a set writing task and, as they wrote, to talk into a tape recorder, a technique known as think aloud.
307
This was in order to get experimental data.
308
Whilst they were doing this, a research assistant recorded them using video.
309
I thought it might be helpful for me in my transcriptions later on.
310
I then asked four experienced writers to do exactly the same task.
311
After this, I made a comparison between the two sets of data, and this helped me to produce a framework for analysis.
312
In particular, I identified five major stages which all creative writers seem to go through when generating this genre of text.
313
I think it was fairly effective, but still needs some work, so I intend to tighten this up later for use with subsequent data sets.
314
I then wanted to see whether experienced writers were actually producing the better pieces of writing So I asked an editor,
315
an expert in reviewing creative writing, to decide which were the best pieces of writing This person put the eight pieces of work in order of quality,
316
in rank order And using his evaluations,
317
I was then able to work out which sequence of the five stages seemed to lead to the best quality writing Now,
318
my findings are by no means conclusive at this point.
319
I still have a long way to go.
320
But if any of you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them and go...
321
That is the end of Section 4.
322
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
323
Thank you.
324
Thank you.
325
Thank you.
326
Thank you.

このレッスンについて
「Car for sale (mini) listening practice test with answers | IELTS Final Exam」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。
毎日15〜30分の練習で、IELTSスピーキングへの自信と実践的な英会話力が身につきます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
