3
IELTS Listening and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
4
All the recordings will be played once only.
5
The test is in four sections.
6
Write all your answers in the listening question booklet.
7
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
8
Now turn to section one on page two of your question booklet.
9
Section 1 You will hear a woman who wants to rent a vacation cottage telephoning the owner.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 7 on page 2.
11
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
12
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
13
Hello?
14
Oh, hello.
15
I'm calling about a vacation rental.
16
The name I've been given is Carol Marriott.
17
I'm Dave, Carol's husband.
18
We own it together.
19
The joint owners of the cottage are Carol Marriott and her husband Dave.
20
So, Dave has been written in the space.
21
Now we shall begin.
22
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
23
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 7.
24
Hello?
25
Oh, hello.
26
I'm calling about a vacation rental.
27
The name I've been given is Carol Marriott?
28
I'm Dave, Carol's husband.
29
We own it together.
30
Oh, right.
31
Well, some friends of ours rented Aster Cottage from you for a week by the ocean last summer, and they recommended it to us.
32
My husband and I would like to rent it in the fall, for a week.
33
Okay. When, exactly?
34
We're looking at the week beginning September 21st, if it's available.
35
Let me check.
36
No, I'm sorry.
37
It's already booked that week.
38
You could have it the previous week, from the 14th.
39
Well, we could manage that week if we change a couple of arrangements.
40
How much would it cost?
41
That would be $835.
42
Ah, that's rather more than we wanted to pay, I'm afraid.
43
We were hoping to pay closer to $790, which our friends paid last year.
44
We also have a slightly smaller cottage called Periwinkle Cottage.
45
Excuse me, how do you spell the name?
46
P -E -R -I -W -I -N -K -L -E.
47
Periwinkle.
48
It's available the week you want it, and it's the exact same price that your friends paid last year.
49
I take it you want a place that sleeps just two people, like Astor Cottage?
50
Yes.
51
Is it near Astor Cottage?
52
Yeah, it's right across the street.
53
And what's this cottage like?
54
Well, it's part of a historic building that was originally a school a hundred years ago.
55
It was converted into a post office around 1950.
56
Then later on, the post office moved, and the building was divided to make two cottages.
57
So, is it on several floors?
58
No, it's all on one floor.
59
There's a large living room, a kitchen that's really well -equipped, a bedroom, and a bathroom with a tub and a shower.
60
Oh, very nice.
61
From the living room, you can go out onto the deck, which is a great place to have your meals when the weather's nice.
62
That sounds fantastic.
63
Can you see the river that flows through the town from the cottage?
64
You sure can.
65
It's close by.
66
You can see it from the bedroom.
67
Okay.
68
Would we need to bring anything?
69
Bedding, say?
70
That's provided.
71
But we make a small charge for towels.
72
Unless you bring your own, of course.
73
Oh, okay.
74
I'll do that.
75
Because we'll be driving, there'll be plenty of room in the car for things like that.
76
Oh, that reminds me.
77
Is there a garage that we can use?
78
I'm afraid there isn't one.
79
But you can usually get a parking spot on the street right in front of the cottage.
80
No problem.
81
We probably won't use the car much while we're there anyway.
82
We like to go for walks.
83
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 8 to 10 on page 2.
84
Now listen and answer questions 8 to 10.
85
Oh, and what about the town itself?
86
Are there any restaurants in the neighborhood?
87
There are a few, all within walking distance.
88
A lot of people like the fish restaurant, but in my opinion, the Chinese restaurant has got to be the best for miles around.
89
That's good to know.
90
We might end up eating out every evening.
91
Well, why not?
92
Our friend said the town is pretty famous for antique stores.
93
That's right.
94
There's a whole bunch of them, at least ten on the main street.
95
Marvelous.
96
Okay, I'd like to make the booking, please.
97
Great.
98
We ask for a deposit of $200 and final payment at least six weeks before your stay.
99
But we'll be away ourselves for much of August, so let's say no later than the last day of July.
100
Is that okay with you?
101
Fine.
102
Okay.
103
Then let me give you our details so you can send the deposit.
104
That is the end of Section 1.
105
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
106
Now turn to section 2 on page 3.
107
Section 2.
108
You will hear a coordinator talking to volunteer helpers before a race involving a large number of people.
109
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14 on page 3.
110
Thank you.
111
Questions 11 to 14.
112
Thank you for all volunteering to help us with the Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run.
113
The purpose of this meeting is to give you some information about your duties on race day.
114
Some of you are asking about where you can park on the day.
115
Unfortunately, some of the usual places, down by the river for example, will be out of bounds because we'll need extra space for emergency vehicles.
116
Probably the best option is the Jack Gray Sportsfield in Barker Street.
117
Although the closest parking lot is the Metro Shopping Complex,
118
I would advise you not to park there as they tend to tow away people who aren't customers.
119
At the start line, most of you will be checking that runners have the necessary gear, especially their electronic timing chip,
120
the race number and the identity wristband.
121
Make sure that the number is attached to the front of the running shirt or singlet, not the back.
122
The timing chip, which records the runner's time, needs to be clipped onto one of their shoes and check that they are wearing their wristband.
123
Some of you will be responsible for organising the starting groups.
124
It's very important that runners start in a particular order.
125
There is a system of colour codes.
126
The red group are walkers and people with baby strollers.
127
The purple group are runners that expect to finish in at less than one hour, and the yellow group are our elite athletes.
128
We'd like them to start the race, and we'd like the other groups to follow after that,
129
with the red group and the strollers at the very back.
130
This is for their own safety.
131
Now, we are still short on volunteers for the race day, so if you have any friends or family members who might be interested,
132
please let us know.
133
We're probably OK for people to help with the start,
134
but we'll still desperately need volunteers along the race course to distribute water bottles to the runners.
135
A few of you have offered to help with first aid, but the good people of St John's Ambulance have donated their services,
136
so that won't be necessary.
137
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20 on page 4.
138
Thank you.
139
sections 15 to 20.
140
Now I'll show you the layout of the race village, which is where the race ends.
141
Can you all see the map?
142
If you look at the bottom right -hand side, you'll see where the runners enter the village next to the corporate catering section.
143
As you continue along the course, you'll see the stage on your right.
144
That's where the winners will receive their medals.
145
Now, can you all see the finish line near the centre?
146
After they finish the race, the runners can take one of two paths, it doesn't matter which one,
147
to get their finishers t -shirts from the t -shirt stand at the end of those paths.
148
Many of you will be stationed there at the end of the race.
149
After they finish, the runners will also want their belongings and all bags are kept in the building on Bowen Road.
150
It's quite close to the exit, in the top left -hand corner of your map.
151
Now, some of you will have an important role, working in the information centre.
152
That's the building in the centre of the map, not far from the finish line.
153
It's just below it on your map.
154
And one other thing, can you all please remind the runners to enter in the prize draw for the new car?
155
The entry box is between the shade tents and the corporate catering buildings.
156
OK, let's see now, what else do I need to point out?
157
Ah, yes, the runners are always thirsty, and the main water station in the village is just beside the third exit through to Gregory Terrace.
158
Can you see it there to the left of the corporate catering area?
159
So everyone, please direct the race finishes there to get their free bottled water.
160
Now turn to section 3 on page 5.
161
Section 3.
162
You will hear a student called Joel talking to his tutor about his research into farmers' attitudes towards new developments in agriculture.
163
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26 on page 5.
164
Thank you.
165
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
166
Dr Owen?
167
Come in, Joel.
168
Right, so how's your research going?
169
You're looking at how farmers feel about new technology in agriculture, aren't you?
170
Well, actually, it's more general than that.
171
I'm looking at their attitudes to a variety of new developments in agriculture.
172
OK.
173
Have you got a title for the project yet?
174
I was thinking of something simple, like farmers' attitudes towards the adoption of new farming practices.
175
Hmm, that's possibly a bit too general.
176
I think the title needs to be a bit more specific.
177
What kind of farming will you be looking at?
178
Well, that'll vary, actually.
179
But I want to speak to each of the ten farmers in my sample.
180
So I've chosen farms which are all in the same region.
181
OK.
182
Well, I'd specify where they are then.
183
Right.
184
I'll amend the title to do that.
185
OK.
186
Is there any particular reason why you've decided to do face -to -face interviews?
187
It'll be quite time -consuming, won't it?
188
Yes, and I did consider doing telephone interviews for that reason,
189
especially as it's unnecessary for me to actually see the places where they work.
190
It's just that, in my experience, a lot of farmers don't like talking on the phone,
191
so they'll be more likely to talk freely if I see them in person.
192
Yes, you're probably right.
193
Good.
194
Then the first thing I want to investigate is how the farmers actually find out about new developments in agriculture
195
that they might want to adopt, what sources they use.
196
Right.
197
So how are you going to do this?
198
Well, I could make a checklist of sources of information for them to look at in advance,
199
so they could tick off the ones they actually use.
200
Things like farming magazines, farm product advertisements, television and the internet and so on.
201
It might be more useful to ask them rather than show them a list.
202
A spontaneous response to one or two open questions might give you a more accurate picture.
203
All right, I'll do that then.
204
Now, talk me through some of the other issues you want to cover.
205
Well, there's the way the government communicates with farmers.
206
Right, well, one thing is, farmers complain that the government sends out the same information to all of them,
207
whether they're poultry farmers or dairy farmers or arable farmers.
208
So they get all this information, but half of it doesn't actually apply to them.
209
Exactly.
210
So you could look at that.
211
Right.
212
Then I wanted to look at attitudes of British farmers to the cost of making any changes on their farms.
213
According to articles I've read,
214
farmers in Britain aren't in principle against investing money in new machinery and new practices,
215
but they're actually just too busy to work out what the financial implications are.
216
Yes, and a lot of them don't seem to consider getting financial advice from their accountants about it either.
217
Right.
218
There's also been some research in Australia on sheep rearing practices.
219
I can give you the reference, if you like.
220
Basically, it appears
221
that the majority of Australian sheep farmers are willing to risk
222
adopting new practices on the basis of just a few pieces of research.
223
They don't usually wait until the evidence in favour of the changes is overwhelming.
224
They're quite happy to act before then so they can get ahead of the game.
225
OK.
226
I'll take a look at that.
227
Thanks.
228
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30 on page 6.
229
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
230
We said we'd also look at some of the reading material I've been reviewing.
231
Yes, I had another look at...
232
Contemporary Farming Manual, which is clearly bang up to date.
233
It covers a lot of things a farmer might want to know, but it's so dull.
234
Absolutely.
235
I found it really hard going, and I can't imagine any farmer wading through it.
236
There aren't even any decent pictures.
237
Did you have time to look at Running a Small Farm?
238
Yes, although I only read bits of it because, despite being entertaining, it wasn't very academic.
239
I know.
240
And a lot of the information is either misleading or simply wrong.
241
I'm surprised it got published at all.
242
I don't imagine the farming press will rate it very highly.
243
You recommend agriculture and economics.
244
I expected that it would be really difficult.
245
The title's a bit off -putting.
246
But I thought it was brilliant.
247
So I've bought it.
248
Yes.
249
Some people think it relies too heavily on farming practices in specific parts of the world.
250
But the theories that underpin these are universal.
251
And that's why it's a required textbook for anyone studying agriculture.
252
Right.
253
What else did you come across?
254
I borrowed How to Survive in Farming from the library.
255
I thought it would be interesting background and I liked the informal style.
256
But it turned out to have been written years ago.
257
Yes, and like everything else, farming fashions have changed.
258
So it's badly in need of a new edition.
259
Can I ask you a question about...
260
That is the end of Section 3.
261
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
262
Thank you.
263
Section 4 on page 7.
264
Section 4.
265
You will hear part of a lecture given by an art
266
and design lecturer on the topic of Aboriginal textile design in Australia.
267
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on page 7.
268
Thank you.
269
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
270
The Indigenous people of Australia,
271
or Aboriginals, have a long history of using animal and plant fibres to make a variety of fabric.
272
Over the years their traditional designs and stories have been incorporated into various textiles.
273
The Erna Bella Arts Centre is a place where local aboriginals can produce their traditional craft
274
and also learn new techniques to decorate fabric.
275
For the first 30 years the artists crafted rugs working with wool.
276
These rugs incorporated their own unique designs.
277
However, as they became less economical to produce, the artists were introduced to batik, which is an Indonesian method of dyeing textiles.
278
Batik is quicker than weaving, so many of the Erna Bella artists started to produce it themselves.
279
Screen printing was later introduced to the centre,
280
and Erna Bella's artists were commissioned to produce fabric for furniture that was to be used at popular tourist destinations,
281
such as the National Park offices at Uluru.
282
Screen printing has also been used successfully by the Tiwi people, who live on islands north of Darwin.
283
Their company, Tiwi Designs, produces fabric that is inspired by their surroundings.
284
For example, they incorporated bird motifs into their early designs.
285
Tiwi art, culture and language are very different from those of mainland Aboriginal groups.
286
The patterns on their fabric are related to the beliefs and legends in their culture.
287
For example, some textile designs are chosen because they are thought to cause rain.
288
Another successful Aboriginal design company was founded by Jimmy Pike.
289
His dynamic prints, paintings and fabrics are greatly influenced by the Australian landscape, in particular that of the desert,
290
which is often featured in this work.
291
Pike worked with acrylic paint, oil pastels and screen printing.
292
Surprisingly, Jimmy Pike's life as an artist began in prison, where he was serving a sentence for murder.
293
The art teachers there recognised his talent and gave him the technical skills he needed to become a successful artist.
294
After Pike's release, he started his own company, aiming to create a product that would sell well commercially,
295
but still retain its Aboriginal cultural identity.
296
Eventually, he decided to bring his artwork onto textiles, which were used to produce clothing.
297
The designs he selected were transferred onto cotton and had both a strong linear character and a good colour range.
298
Bronwyn Bancroft is one of the most successful
299
Aboriginal artists and designers to date.
300
She has produced a great deal of artwork and textiles, and many of her paintings are held by Australian art galleries.
301
Her work reflects her Aboriginal roots, but always with a contemporary fresh view of family and the natural environment.
302
In 1995, she was chosen by a charity organisation to paint a pair of jeans owned by Cathy Freeman,
303
a famous Aboriginal Australian athlete.
304
She used imagery of lizards moving quickly over the Australian terrain
305
and she added a rainbow which represents the optimism that Cathy symbolises for all Aboriginal people.
306
In 2001 she was chosen to design costumes for the opening of the biggest street parade ever held in Australia,
307
the Journey of a Nation Parade.
308
The people in Bancroft's section of the parade all wore an outfit she designed.
309
It featured the image of a snake that had no head or tail to represent an ongoing culture.
310
Exploitation of creative work can be a problem for any artist,
311
and copyright laws exist to protect individual artists from the unauthorised use of his or her work.
312
This issue is often more complex for Aboriginal artists as the symbols
313
and motifs used in their designs also hold cultural significance for them.
314
An example of this was when a businessman had rugs made overseas incorporating images stolen from Aboriginal paintings.
315
The carpet case, as it became known, was taken to court where luckily the artists won.
316
That is the end of Section 4.
317
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
318
That is the end of the listening test.
319
You now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.
320
Thank you.
321
Thank you.

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。
