Test 2.

You will hear a number of different recordings, and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.

There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions, and you will have a chance to check your work.

All the recordings will be played once only.

The test is in four sections.

At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

Now turn to Section 1.

Section 1.

You will hear a conversation between a clerk at the information desk of a transport agency

and a man asking for travel information.

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.

You will see that there is an example which has been done for you.

On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.

Morning.

Thanks for calling Metro Link.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Good morning.

I would like to go to Harbour City tomorrow before 11am, from Bayswater.

Well, for Bayswater?

Oh, no, no, from Bayswater, where I am currently living.

But Harbour City is my destination.

Sorry, that means Bayswater to Harbour City.

Which mode of transport do you prefer, by bus or train?

The destination is Harbour City.

So, Harbour City has been written in the space.

Now we shall begin.

You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.

Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.

Morning.

Thanks for calling Metro Link.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Good morning.

I would like to go to Harbour City tomorrow before 11am, er, from Bayswater.

Well, for Bayswater?

Oh, no, no. From Bayswater, where I am currently living.

But Harbour City is my destination.

Sorry.

That means Bayswater to Harbour City.

Which mode of transport do you prefer?

By bus or train?

In fact, I have no preference.

Only if it brought me to Harbour faster.

Well, if you take an express train, you'll be right in Harbour within an hour from departure.

Let's see.

Yes, I recommend you to get on the 9 .30 a .m.

express.

Sounds perfect.

So, at which station should I get on the train?

Hellandale is the nearest station to you.

Henlandsvale, did you say that?

No, Hellandale.

That's H -E -L -E -N -D -A -L -E.

Then how can I get there fastest?

Um, let me see.

Please wait a minute.

I need to have a look.

It says you probably have two options for the routes.

The first one is the Snow 6 bus from Bayswater Shopping Centre to Central Street.

There will be another bus that can take you to the train station.

Or, if you don't mind walking directly to Central Street, like a couple of kilometres, then you can take the bus there, bringing you to the train station.

Sure, but which bus is that than in Central Street?

The 702 will take...

Oh, sorry, it's the 782 that will take you to the station.

I believe walking will be fine, so option two might seem better to me.

When should I arrive at Central Street to catch the bus?

There are two buses that you can catch and get to the station on time.

One's before nine o 'clock, one right after.

Yet in the morning it might be better to take the earlier one, just in case of a traffic jam or something like that.

I'd like to say the 8 .55 one is more reassuring than the 9 .05 one.

Sure, I don't want to miss the train, so the 5 to 9 one will be better.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.

You Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.

One more thing.

How much would the fares cost?

Well, the boss is $1 .80 in cash, and the train is $10 each way.

But do you have a travel link card?

No, but I may get one before tomorrow.

All right.

If you have the card, you can pay considerably less.

Yes, the bus will cost you $1 .50, and the train to harbour...

Sorry, wait, it will still cost you $10 because it is during rush hour in the morning, I'm afraid.

Yet, if you could return at an off -peak time...

What do you mean by that?

All right, if you could begin your returning journey before five in the afternoon, or later than 7 .45, a quarter to eight, in the evening.

In fact, my plan is that I won't start to go back home until 8 o 'clock anyway.

Then you can save a lot of cash using your Travel Link card.

You did mention that you were planning to buy one, didn't you?

Yes, today, maybe later.

I'll pick one up.

It means with cash it would cost you $10, but if with your card you will only pay $7 .15 for returning.

Thank you.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Uh, yes.

In fact, I would like to know if the Travel Link card supports ferry services.

If the ferry services is Harbour City ferries that connect the northern and southern banks, then yes.

They are commuter ferries.

A one -way trip costs $4 .50, but with the Travel Link card you will enjoy a 20 % discount, and the cost will be $3 .55.

So, $3 .55 for it.

What about the tour boats?

100

You mean those ferries going upriver on sightseeing tours for tourists?

101

No, they do not belong to the Travel Link Company, and they only take cash and credit cards.

102

Oh, I see.

103

So, I may believe that you might not know how much they cost for one tour?

104

Actually, I do know.

105

I took a friend to the trip upriver just last week.

106

We decided to go on an afternoon tour, and it cost us $35 each.

107

There is also a whole -day option costing $65.

108

Thank you.

109

You really helped me a lot. With pleasure.

110

Enjoy your trip.

111

That is the end of Section 1.

112

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

113

Now, turn to Section 2.

114

Section 2.

115

You will hear a radio anchor on broadcast speaking to her audience about water conservation

116

and some contributions they can make at home.

117

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.

118

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.

119

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

120

Thank you for returning to Action Radio.

121

We are here talking about current affairs and global issues.

122

I am Jill, and today our focus will be on discussing the very concerning issue of the significance of water conservation

123

and how you can make your own contribution at home.

124

The most universal wasted energy of all the domestic kinds is heat.

125

Yet since my house has well -insulated walls, I'm lucky enough not to need to do anything about this problem.

126

Yet, I still found out that a large amount of water was wasted, owing to my way of life.

127

I looked into a few approaches online, trying to reduce my water usage as much as possible,

128

and have been pleasantly surprised to figure out that there are experts in

129

that field who can make some instant changes to my home.

130

But the only dark side is this work is so costly that there are no means for me to get financial help.

131

Now, if any of you listeners are interested in reducing your energy usage, here are a couple of easy and positive changes you can make immediately.

132

A lot of the magazines will recommend that you change your bulbs for those with energy -saving capabilities.

133

However, I have found that these make little difference to your electricity bill, and they also severely reduce the light levels in your home.

134

Instead, simply switch off all plug sockets and appliances to make an immediate saving on your electricity consumption.

135

If this doesn't make enough of a saving for you, you could later turn down the thermostat as well.

136

Even though my energy provider gave me a discount on my bills for prompt payments, this doesn't make enough of a saving for my monthly bill,

137

considering the amount of energy that I was using.

138

So, I felt like switching to another provider.

139

Not only could I make a considerable monthly saving, but also get other perks from the new company.

140

The bills can now be paid online, for instance, which was a thrill to me, because it saves me from driving to the bank.

141

If our contract endures more than one year, they will also provide me with a deduction for all energy -saving appliances I am currently using.

142

Now, many of you listeners will have an electricity meter at home, so I'm very sure that all of you will know the problems associated with them.

143

These meters can occupy a lot of room in your home, and can be very unsightly if you cannot tuck them away in a cupboard.

144

Mine is very large, and it measures both gas and electricity usage.

145

But it is nicely hidden in the coat cupboard, and I'm lucky enough to escape from accessing it easily.

146

But the cons about this is that, whenever I need to take a meter reading, I'll have to use a torch because it is hidden in darkness,

147

and without a flashlight, I can't read the numbers on the screen correctly.

148

I recently extended my house with a new room that gives us a bathroom with a low -energy boiler, so I'm able to take long showers guilty -free.

149

My walls are nice and thick and well insulated, but disappointingly, the window is a little drafty,

150

thus I'm about to make some investments by doing some upgrading.

151

Given renewable energy, I initially thought about installing solar panels on the roof to heat the water, rather than applying a new low -energy boiler,

152

which was the price -friendly alternative.

153

But I finally determined that the panels would make my house ugly on the exterior, in spite of their ease of technical use.

154

Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.

155

Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.

156

Now, if you are keen on taking long showers, as I am, switching from baths to showers doesn't change much on your total water usage.

157

Instead, some small effective changes can be quite helpful and efficient.

158

When making a cup of tea, for instance, before boiling water, measure out the amount that you need during the procedure.

159

Also, when brushing teeth, use a cup of water instead of leaving the tap water running.

160

I would recommend you not to fill up the washing machine before switching it on, because I found out that the clothes were not thoroughly cleaned.

161

Also, call a plumber to fix your dripping taps.

162

This will give rise to a great reduction of water being wasted.

163

Before finishing today's show, I'd like to address two questions that we often get asked by listeners.

164

We had some great feedback about our answer to last week's

165

question on how to calculate the price involved in powering domestic appliances.

166

So, let's see how we do this week.

167

One of the most commonly asked questions this week was, which device is the lowest energy option for watching films?

168

The simplest answer is that the smaller the screen, the lower the energy used.

169

One of our listeners wrote in with a question that made me chuckle, and the answer is, yes, solar panels only work when the sun is out.

170

Now, on a more serious note, a number of you wanted to know what the most efficient temperature is to set the thermostat to.

171

The answer is that the closer you set it to room temperature, the lower the energy used.

172

Before saying goodbye today, I'll give you one last tip.

173

Turn off all the lights when you leave the room.

174

That is the end of Section 2.

175

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

176

Thank you.

177

Turn to Section 3.

178

Section 3.

179

You will hear two students, called Tim and Jenny, discussing their geography assessment they are going to take next week.

180

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.

181

Now listen carefully, and answer questions 21 to 25.

182

Morning, Jenny.

183

Hi, Tim.

184

How's everything going on?

185

Not bad, but I'm really nervous about our geography assessment next week.

186

Have you done any work on it yet?

187

I've just gone over some of the slides where there are a few difficult terms, but I think it would be helpful if I could discuss it together with someone else.

188

Would you like to talk about it with me?

189

That sounds great.

190

Have you got any information about the requirements for the assessment?

191

For our test last semester, all of us tried our best to collect raw data to meet the requirements, so as to achieve a pass.

192

But according to what the tutor has said, this term there won't be any need for us to do so.

193

I read through the notes, and they said that we are all going to be given a set of instructions

194

that we can choose to follow if we wish, but it's not mandatory, and we can complete the exam as we wish.

195

I don't think that it will be hard for us to pass the assessment.

196

As long as we don't copy the answers from anyone else's exam paper, I think we'll be sure to pass.

197

Definitely, I agree.

198

Should we put on a slideshow presentation with the information on all kinds of volcanoes?

199

I think it will really help us to revise the recognition.

200

OK, great.

201

First, let's look at Pompeii, which is regarded as the most famous one among all the volcanoes.

202

Therefore, we might find it much easier to find a large amount of information about it on the net.

203

I think we should exclude some of the pictures in the presentation, since many people were killed, and some of them can be quite disturbing.

204

It is so lucky that there is going to be a double free break today, so we will have a bit of time to modify this together.

205

Well, the next one to mention is Mount Faygo.

206

This is an ancient, mythical volcano whose site is still ambiguous.

207

In Mexico, as well as the USA, there are mountainous regions, both of which are rumoured to be the location of this volcano.

208

It's not that reasonable to list two unrelated locations for one volcano, but since no one has been capable of figuring out which is the correct one,

209

we have no choice.

210

It's amazing that we cannot find any other example of a volcano in existence today that is haunted by so much mystery.

211

Definitely yes.

212

I suggest we'd better search online for some information about Mount Etna in Sicily, which is well known for the stunning panoramas that one can appreciate from its peak.

213

According to Google, it's a relatively new volcano compared to the others in the nearby region.

214

That's the reason why it has very few of the features found in older volcanoes.

215

Oh, interesting.

216

Might we present any information on Mount Hurton?

217

Because I don't think that any of the other students have carried out much of a survey into it, even though it has several unique traits.

218

Well, then I think we can just ignore it, since it's a man -made volcano and not that closely linked to our spas, and probably won't be tested in the exam questions.

219

Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.

220

Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.

221

Have you got feedback from your tutor on your presentation last week?

222

Yes, but I don't think he was satisfied with the work.

223

He was impressed by the amount of research that I'd carried out before I started,

224

but he criticized me that I was just mostly writing a summary of the facts instead of giving my own opinion.

225

Oh, that's a pity.

226

It was depressing that my work is not appreciated, but in the end I learned a lot from my tutor's feedback.

227

He suggested to me that next time I should present my work as a short documentary film, which he thinks will help me to strengthen my arguments.

228

What topic was your presentation based on?

229

I opted to discuss about the lack of knowledge that most people have about volcanoes, and the awareness that they look at them in such a negative way.

230

During documentaries and lectures, the scientific experts often neglect to mention the positive features that volcanoes possess.

231

That sounds really interesting.

232

Well done.

233

I think everyone had a really good time, but I was really nervous about speaking in front of the audience.

234

Also, I felt very underprepared, since I didn't complete the presentation until the night before, and therefore there had been no time for rehearsal.

235

I'm sure it was great.

236

Is there any other information that you think we should include in our slideshow for revision?

237

Yes, I think it's important that we list all of the differences between active and extinct volcanoes, as there will definitely be a question on this topic.

238

There are no documentaries on the subject, but there's a very informative website that discusses the geological structure of each volcano type.

239

OK.

240

Well, I'll continue collecting images, and you can carry on with the online research.

241

That is the end of Section 3.

242

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

243

Now, turn to Section 4.

244

Section 4.

245

You will hear part of a lecture in a zoology course talking about New Zealand birds and their protection.

246

First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.

247

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

248

Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.

249

In this session, we're going to talk about birds indigenous to New Zealand, delving into the facts and analysing methods of protecting these species from extinction.

250

It may be a surprise to you to know that there are thousands of bird species that are endemic to New Zealand.

251

In other words, they are rarely found anywhere else throughout the world.

252

Because quite a large number of these birds make a living on a diet of freshly caught fish, they often nest alongside the coastline or follow the neighboring river,

253

if necessary, to track freshwater fish.

254

Once they have mated, the female will collect twigs

255

and pieces of debris to build nests where she can hatch her eggs under safe circumstances, out of the reach of predators.

256

When the first immigrants landed on New Zealand roughly seven centuries ago, Rats were carried on the ships with them.

257

The rats flourished in the warm climate and gradually became a threat to the native bird populations, particularly to the flightless species.

258

In 1984, researchers discovered that just three pairs of flightless bird species remained in existence and that even these faced severe pressure.

259

Now, New Zealand is a global pioneer in facilitating the recovery of severely endangered species from the brink of extinction.

260

Every year, researchers conduct certain surveys aimed at monitoring the fluctuation in the levels of bird numbers

261

and species living in New Zealand.

262

Owing to migration patterns of a few bird species, it is far from easy to accurately estimate the bird numbers,

263

since many may have flown to other regions in search of mates and warmer climates, and thus may not be included in the investigation.

264

Probably, there is a sensitive link between bird numbers and environmental influences.

265

especially those closely linked to human activities.

266

Routine activities such as farming or building houses can have a massive impact on the local populations.

267

Forests

268

that play a role of a habitat for thousands of birds can be entirely eradicated to produce fields for cropping

269

or to provide wood for construction, which has a catastrophic impact.

270

It is not only the activities of humans that threaten the living conditions of bird species, but the population of many predatory animal species has dramatically risen in New Zealand.

271

One of these predators is the Mantani snake, which was introduced from Australia and has decimated the population of Kildear birds.

272

These birds nest on the ground and often return to find their eggs have been devoured by the egg -eating snakes.

273

One cannot dismiss, of course, the disadvantages that nature itself imposes on the survival of many bird species.

274

Natural disasters such as storms can be devastating, tearing apart forests and leaving thousands of destroyed nests in their wake.

275

Monsoons flood the rivers and often drown many of the flightless bird species that are unable to escape.

276

Unfortunately, illegal hunting, which is the greatest threat to bird species in New Zealand, is nearly impossible to prohibit.

277

Several bird species, which are going to be extinct, now appear on display at the National Zoo,

278

and there is such a cruel need that urgent policies are adopted to protect them.

279

The zoo recently employed an expert in bird protection who strongly suggested

280

that a guard should be employed to protect their birds from poachers.

281

The expert also lays much stress on the fact

282

that the birds can be haunted by quite a stressed situation where the public can approach them too closely,

283

suggesting that the administration install a fence network to keep the public a safe distance away from the birds.

284

In spite of this threat to birds in captivity, it is the freely roaming birds that are most at risk.

285

Many efforts are being made to educate the public in terms

286

of how they can contribute towards protecting birds living in the wild.

287

Finally, research has indicated

288

that one of the most feasible measures of keeping the public

289

notified about the significance of protecting the bird population is through the media.

290

I advise you all to read the related articles in specialist journals, and also do some research on the Internet.

291

Everyone can make your own contribution if you put your mind to it.

292

That is the end of Section 4.

293

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

294

That is the end of the listening test.

295

In the IELTS test, you will now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.

この動画で英語学習するメリット

IELTS スピーキング対策に最適な「日常会話のリアルシーン」が凝縮された動画です。交通機関の案内を求める男性と係員の会話は、実用的なコミュニケーション能力を養うのに理想的です。特に「目的地までの移動方法」「時間と場所の確認」といった頻出シーンを練習できるため、シャドーイングを重ねることで自然な発音と応答速度が向上します。

文脈の中の文法と表現

「I would like to...」：丁寧な依頼表現。「明日11時前にハーバーシティに行きたい」という希望を柔らかく伝えるのに使われます。日常会話やIELTSでも頻繁に登場します。
「Only if it brought me to...」：条件を表す節。「より速く目的地に着けるなら」というニュアンスで、「only if」を使うことで優先事項を明確にします。
「I recommend you to...」：推奨の表現。係員が男性に列車を勧める場面で使われ、「～することをおすすめします」という丁寧な提案になります。

発音の注意点

シャドーイングをする際、「Hellandale」や「Henlandsvale」などの固有名詞の発音が難しいです。特に「ll」や「v」の発音が日本語話者にはトラップで、滑らかに繋げることが重要です。また、「express train」の「express」は「エクスプレス」ではなく「エクスプレス」（短縮しない）発音が正確です。「shadow speak」の技法を使い、繰り返し聴きながら口の形を真似ることで克服できます。

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

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。
