1
Section one.
2
You will hear a conversation between the director of a child care center and a parent enrolling her child in the center.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions one to six.
4
Thank you.
5
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
6
Good morning.
7
Welcome to the Early Learning Child Care Centre.
8
How may I help you?
9
Hi.
10
I spoke to you last week about enrolling my daughter for next year.
11
Oh, yes.
12
I'll just get some details from you.
13
So, you're her mother?
14
That's right.
15
And can I have your name?
16
It's Carol.
17
Carol Smith.
18
The parent's name is Carol Smith, so Smith has been written in the space.
19
Now we shall begin.
20
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
21
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
22
Good morning.
23
Welcome to the Early Learning Child Care Centre.
24
How may I help you?
25
Hi.
26
I spoke to you last week about enrolling my daughter for next year.
27
Oh, yes.
28
I'll just get some details from you.
29
So, you're her mother?
30
That's right.
31
And can I have your name?
32
It's Carol.
33
Carol Smith.
34
And your daughter's name?
35
It's Kate.
36
Now, we have several groups at the centre and we cater for children from three to five years old.
37
How old is your daughter?
38
She's three now, but she turns four next month.
39
I'll put four down because that's how old she'll be when she starts.
40
Fine.
41
She's so excited about her birthday and coming to the centre.
42
Oh, that's good to hear.
43
And what's your address?
44
It's 46 Wombat Road.
45
That's W-O-M-B-A-T.
46
Woodside, 4032.
47
And what's the phone number?
48
Oh, it's 3345 9865.
49
So, have you decided on the days you would like to bring your daughter here?
50
I'd prefer Monday and Wednesday if possible.
51
Hmm, I'll check.
52
Monday's fine, but I think the centre is already full for Wednesday.
53
Ah, yes.
54
Sorry, it seems to be a very popular day.
55
We can offer you a Thursday or a Friday as well.
56
Oh dear.
57
I suppose Thursday would be alright because she has swimming on Friday.
58
OK, got that.
59
Because a lot of parents work, we do offer flexible start and finish times.
60
We're open from 7.30 in the morning until 6 o'clock at night.
61
What time would you like your daughter to start?
62
I need to get to work in the city by 9, so I'll drop her off at 8.30.
63
You're pretty close to the city here, so that should give me plenty of time to get there.
64
That's fine.
65
Now, we also need to decide which group she'll be in.
66
We have two different groups, and they're divided up according to age.
67
There's the green group, which is for three to four-year-olds, and then there's the red group, which is for four to five-year-olds.
68
She's quite mature for her age, and she can already write her name and read a little.
69
Well, I'll put her in the red group, and we can always change her to the green one if there are any problems.
70
That sounds fine.
71
Okay, let's move on to meals.
72
We can provide breakfast, lunch and dinner.
73
As she's finishing pretty early, she won't need dinner.
74
Will you give her breakfast before she comes?
75
Yes, she'll only need lunch.
76
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
77
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
78
Now, does she have any medical conditions we need to know about?
79
Does she have asthma or any hearing problems, for example?
80
No, but she does need to wear glasses.
81
Oh, I'll make a note of that.
82
Yeah, she's pretty good about wearing them.
83
She can't see much without them.
84
Right.
85
OK.
86
Now, I also need emergency contact details.
87
So what sort of information do you need?
88
Just the name and number of a friend
89
or family member we can contact in case we can't get hold of you at any time.
90
OK.
91
That had better be my sister, Jenny Ball.
92
That's B-A-L-L.
93
Her phone number is 3346 7523.
94
Great.
95
So she is the child's aunt?
96
Yes, that's right.
97
I'll make a note of that as well.
98
Now, is there anything you'd like to ask?
99
What about payment?
100
How much are the fees each term?
101
Well, for two days and the hours you've chosen, that will be $450 altogether.
102
OK.
103
And do I have to pay that now?
104
No. We send out invoices once the children start at the centre.
105
You can choose to pay at the end of each term, or we do offer a slightly discounted rate if you pay every month.
106
Oh, I'll do that then.
107
I find it easier to budget that way, and I'm not used to the term dates just yet.
108
Good.
109
It makes it a lot simpler for us as well.
110
Well, that's everything.
111
Would you like me to show you around the centre?

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。
