1
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
2
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
3
All the recordings will be played once only.
4
The test is in four parts.
5
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
6
Now turn to part one.
7
Part 1.
8
You will hear a woman called Jan phoning a man about their local conservation group.
9
First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
10
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
11
Hello.
12
Oh, hello.
13
My name's Jan.
14
Are you the right person to talk to about the Buckworth Conservation Group?
15
Yes, I'm Peter.
16
I'm the secretary.
17
Good.
18
I've just moved to this area and I'm interested in getting involved.
19
I was in a similar group where I used to live.
20
Could you tell me something about your activities, please? Of course.
21
Well, we have a mixture of regular activities and special events.
22
One of the regular ones is trying to keep the beach free of litter.
23
A few of us spend a couple of hours a month on it, and it's awful how much there is to clear.
24
I wish people would be more responsible and take it home with them.
25
I totally agree.
26
I'd be happy to help with that.
27
Is it OK to take dogs?
28
I'm afraid not, as they're banned from the beach itself.
29
You can take them along the cliffs, though, and children are welcome.
30
Right.
31
We also manage a nature reserve, and there's a lot to do there all year round.
32
For example, because it's a popular place to visit, we spend a lot of time looking after the paths and making sure they're in good condition for walking.
33
I could certainly help with that.
34
Good.
35
And we have a programme of creating new habitats there.
36
We've just finished making and installing nesting boxes for birds to use, and next we're going to work on encouraging insects.
37
They're important for the biodiversity of the reserve.
38
They certainly are.
39
Oh, and we're also running a project to identify the different species of butterflies that visit the reserve.
40
You might be interested in taking part in that.
41
Sure.
42
I was involved in something similar where I used to live, counting all the species of moths.
43
I'd enjoy that.
44
Another job we're doing at the reserve is replacing the wall on the southern side, between the parking area and our woodshed.
45
It was badly damaged in a storm last month.
46
OK.
47
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten.
48
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
49
Then, as I said, we have a programme of events as well, both at the weekend and during the week.
50
Right.
51
I presume you have guided walks.
52
I'd like to get to know the local countryside as I'm new to the area.
53
Yes, we do.
54
The next walk is to Ruston Island a week on Saturday.
55
We'll be meeting in the car park at Dunsmore Beach at low tide.
56
That's when the sands are dry enough for us to walk to the island without getting wet.
57
Sounds good.
58
The island's a great place to explore.
59
It's quite small and it's got a range of habitats.
60
It's also an ideal location for seeing seals just off the coast or even on the beach.
61
OK.
62
And is there anything we should bring, like a picnic, for instance?
63
Yes, do bring one, as it's a full-day walk.
64
And of course it'll be wet walking across and back, so make sure your boots are waterproof.
65
I must buy a new pair.
66
There's a hole in one of my current ones.
67
Well, I'd definitely like to come on the walk.
68
Great.
69
Then, later this month, we're having a one-day woodwork session in Hopton Wood.
70
I've never tried that before.
71
Is it OK for beginners to take part?
72
Definitely.
73
There'll be a couple of experts leading the session, and we keep the number of participants down so you'll get as much help as you need.
74
Excellent.
75
I'd love to be able to make chairs.
76
That's probably too ambitious for one day.
77
You'll be starting with wooden spoons and, of course, learning how to use the tools.
78
And anything you make is yours to take home with you.
79
That sounds like fun.
80
When is it?
81
It's on the 17th from 10am until 3.
82
There's a charge of £35, including lunch, or £40 if you want to camp in the wood.
83
I should think I'll come home the same day.
84
Well, I'd certainly like to join the group.
85
It sounds like you...
86
That is the end of part one.
87
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part one.
88
Part 2 You will hear a tour guide, Lou Miller,
89
speaking to a group of people about a boat trip they are going to take around the Australian island of Tasmania.
90
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
91
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14. So, hello everyone.
92
My name's Lou Miller, and I'm going to be your tour guide today, as we take this fantastic boat trip around the Tasmanian coast.
93
Before we set off, I just want to tell you a few things about our journey.
94
Our boats aren't huge, as you can see.
95
We already have three staff members on board, and on top of that we can transport a further 15 people,
96
that's you, around the coastline.
97
But please note, if there are more than 9 people on either side of the boat, we'll move some of you over,
98
otherwise all 18 of us will end up in the sea.
99
We've recently upgraded all our boats.
100
They used to be jet black, but our new ones now have these comfortable dark red seats
101
and a light green exterior in order to stand out from others and help promote our company.
102
This gives our boats a rather unique appearance, don't you think?
103
We offer you a free lunchbox during the trip, and we have three types.
104
Lunchbox 1 contains ham and tomato sandwiches.
105
Lunchbox 2 contains a cheddar cheese roll.
106
and lunchbox three is salad based and also contains eggs and tuna.
107
All three lunchboxes also have a packet of crisps and chocolate bar inside.
108
Please let staff know which lunchbox you prefer.
109
I'm sure I don't have to ask you not to throw anything into the sea.
110
We don't have any bins to put litter in, but Jess, myself or Ray,
111
our other guide, will collect it from you after lunch and put it all in a large plastic sack.
112
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
113
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
114
The engine on the boat makes quite a lot of noise, so before we head off, let me tell you a few things about what you're going to see.
115
This area is famous for its ancient lighthouse, which you'll see from the boat as we turn past the first little island.
116
It was built in 1838 to protect sailors, as a number of shipwrecks had led to significant loss of life.
117
The construction itself was complicated, as some of the original drawings kept by the local council
118
show It sits right on top of the cliffs in a very isolated spot In the 19th century,
119
there were many jobs there, such as polishing the brass lamps,
120
chopping firewood and cleaning windows that kept lighthouse keepers busy These workers were mainly prison convicts until the middle of that century,
121
when ordinary families willing to live in such circumstances took over.
122
Some of you have asked me what creatures we can expect to see.
123
I know everyone loves the penguins, but they're very shy and unfortunately tend to hide from passing boats.
124
But you might see birds in the distance, such as sea eagles, flying around the cliff edges where they nest.
125
When we get to the rocky area inhabited by fur seals, we'll stop and watch them swimming around the coast.
126
They're inquisitive creatures, so don't be surprised if one pops up right in front of you.
127
Their predators, orca whales, hunt along the coastline too, but spotting one of these is rare.
128
Dolphins, on the other hand, can sometimes approach on their own or in groups as they ride the waves beside us.
129
Lastly, I want to mention the caves.
130
Tasmania is famous for its caves, and the ones we'll pass by are so amazing that people are lost for words when they see them.
131
They can only be approached by sea, but if you feel that you want to see more than we're able to show you,
132
then you can take a kayak into the area on another day, and one of our staff will give you more information on that.
133
What we'll do is to go through a narrow channel, past some incredible rock formations,
134
and from there we'll be able to see the openings to the caves, and at that point we'll talk to you about what lies beyond.
135
That is the end of part two.
136
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part two.
137
Part 3
138
You will hear two veterinary science students called Diana and Tim discussing their work placements and their course modules
139
first you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26
140
Thank you.
141
Questions 21 to 26.
142
So, Tim, we have to do a short summary of our work experience on a farm.
143
Right.
144
My farm was great, but arranging the work experience was hard.
145
One problem was it was miles away and I don't drive.
146
And also, I'd really wanted a placement for a month, but I could only get one for two weeks.
147
I was lucky.
148
The farmer let me stay on the farm, so I didn't have to travel.
149
But finding the right sort of farm to apply to wasn't easy.
150
No, they don't seem to have websites, do they?
151
I found mine through a friend of my mother's, but it wasn't easy.
152
No. My farm was mostly livestock, especially sheep.
153
I really enjoyed helping out with them.
154
I was up most of one night helping a sheep deliver a lamb.
155
On your own?
156
No, the farmer was there, and he told me what to do.
157
It wasn't a straightforward birth, but I managed.
158
It was a great feeling to see the lamb stagger to its feet and start feeding almost straight away, and to know that it was okay.
159
Then another time, a lamb had broken its leg, and they got the vet in to set it, and he talked me through what he was doing.
160
That was really useful.
161
Yes, my farm had sheep too.
162
The farm was in a valley and they had a lowland breed called Suffolk's, although the farmer said they'd had other breeds in the past.
163
So were they bred for their meat?
164
Mostly, yes.
165
They're quite big and solid.
166
My farm was up in the hills and they had a different breed of sheep.
167
They were Cheviots.
168
Oh, I heard their wools really sought after.
169
Yes, it's very hard-wearing, and they use it for carpets.
170
Right.
171
I was interested in the amount of supplements they add to animals' feed nowadays.
172
Like, even the chickens got extra vitamins and electrolytes in their feed.
173
Yes, I found that too.
174
And they're not cheap.
175
But my farmer said some are overpriced for what they are, and he didn't give them as a matter of routine,
176
just at times when the chickens seemed to particularly require them.
177
Yes, mine said the same.
178
He said certain breeds of chickens might need more supplements than the others, but the cheap and expensive ones are all basically the same.
179
So did your farm have any other livestock, Diana?
180
Yes, dairy cows.
181
I made a really embarrassing mistake when I was working in the milk shed.
182
Some cows had been treated with antibiotics, so their milk wasn't suitable for human consumption and it had to be put in a separate container.
183
But I got mixed up and I poured some milk from the wrong cow in with the milk for humans, so the whole lot had to be thrown away.
184
The farmer wasn't too happy with me.
185
I asked my farmer how much he depended on the vet to deal with health problems.
186
I'd read reports that the livestock's health is being affected as farmers are under pressure to increase production.
187
Well, he didn't agree with that, but he said that actually some of the stuff the vets do, like minor operations, he'd be quite capable of doing himself.
188
Yeah, my farmer said the same, but he reckons vet skills are still needed.
189
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
190
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
191
Now we've got to give a bit of feedback about last term's modules.
192
Just short comments, apparently.
193
Shall we do that now?
194
OK.
195
So, medical terminology.
196
Well, my heart sank when I saw that, especially right at the beginning of the course, and I did struggle with it.
197
I thought it'd be hard, but actually I found it all quite straightforward.
198
What did you think about diet and nutrition?
199
OK, I suppose.
200
Do you remember what they told us about pet food
201
and the fact that there's such limited checking into whether or not it's contaminated?
202
I mean, in comparison with the checks on food for humans, I thought that was terrible.
203
Hmm.
204
I think the module that really impressed me was the animal disease one,
205
when we looked at domesticated animals in different parts of the world, like camels and water buffalo and alpaca.
206
The economies of so many countries depend on these, but scientists don't know much about the diseases that affect them.
207
Yes.
208
I thought they'd know a lot about ways of controlling and eradicating those diseases, but that's not the case at all.
209
I loved the wildlife medication unit.
210
Things like helping birds that have been caught in oil spills.
211
That's something I hadn't thought about before.
212
Yeah.
213
I thought I might write my dissertation on something connected with that.
214
Right.
215
So, actually, I was thinking something along the same lines...
216
That is the end of Part 3.
217
You now have half a minute to check your answers to Part 3.
218
Thank you.
219
Part 4.
220
You will hear an anthropology student giving a presentation on spiral path designs known as labyrinths.
221
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
222
Thank you.
223
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
224
Labyrinths have existed for well over 4,000 years.
225
Labyrinths and labyrinthine symbols have been found in regions as diverse as modern-day Turkey, Ireland, Greece and India.
226
There are various designs of labyrinth, but what they all have in common is a winding spiral path which leads to a central area.
227
There is one starting point at the entrance, and the goal is to reach the central area.
228
Finding your way through a labyrinth involves many twists and turns, but it's not possible to get lost, as there is only one single path.
229
In modern times, the word labyrinth has taken on a different meaning, and is often used as a synonym for a maze.
230
A maze is quite different, as it is a kind of puzzle with an intricate network of paths.
231
Mazes became fashionable in the 15th and 16th centuries in Europe, and can still be found in the gardens of great houses and palaces.
232
The paths are usually surrounded by thick, high hedges so that it's not possible to see over them.
233
Entering a maze usually involves getting lost a few times before using logic to work out the pattern
234
and find your way to the centre, and then out again.
235
There are lots of dead ends and paths which lead you back to where you started.
236
The word maze is believed to come from a Scandinavian word for a state of confusion.
237
This is where the word amazing comes from.
238
Labyrinths, on the other hand, have a very different function.
239
Although people now often refer to things they find complicated as labyrinths, this is not how they were seen in the past.
240
The winding spiral of the labyrinth has been used for centuries as a metaphor for life's journey.
241
It served as a spiritual reminder that there is purpose and meaning to our lives, and helped to give people a sense of direction.
242
Labyrinths are thought to encourage a feeling of calm, and have been used as a meditation and prayer tool in many cultures over many centuries.
243
The earliest examples of the labyrinth spiral pattern have been found carved into stone from Sardinia to Scandinavia,
244
from Arizona to India to Africa.
245
In Europe, these spiral carvings date from the Late Bronze Age.
246
The Native American Pima tribe wove baskets with a circular labyrinth design that depicted their own cosmology.
247
In ancient Greece, the labyrinth spiral was used on coins around 4,000 years ago.
248
Labyrinths made of mosaics were commonly found in bathhouses, villas, and tombs throughout the Roman Empire.
249
In northern Europe, there were actual physical labyrinths designed for walking on.
250
These were cut into the turf or grass, usually in a circular pattern.
251
The origin of these walking labyrinths remains unclear, but they were probably used for fertility rites, which may date back thousands of years.
252
Eleven examples of turf labyrinths survive today, including the largest one at Saffron Walden,
253
England, which used to have a large tree in the middle of it.
254
More recently, labyrinths have experienced something of a revival.
255
Some believe that walking a labyrinth promotes healing and mindfulness, and there are those who believe in its emotional and physical benefits,
256
which include slower breathing, and a restored sense of balance and perspective.
257
This idea has become so popular that labyrinths have been laid into the floors of spas,
258
wellness centers, and even prisons in recent years.
259
A pamphlet at Colorado Children's Hospital informs patients that walking a labyrinth can often calm people in the midst of a crisis.
260
And apparently, it's not only patients who benefit.
261
Many visitors find walking a labyrinth less stressful than sitting in a corridor or waiting room.
262
Some doctors even walk the labyrinth during their breaks.
263
In some hospitals, patients who can't walk can have a paper finger labyrinth brought to their bed.
264
The science behind the theory is a little sketchy, but there are dozens of small-scale studies which support claims about the benefits of labyrinths.
265
For example, one study found that walking a labyrinth provided short-term calming, relaxation and relief from anxiety for Alzheimer's patients.
266
So what is it about labyrinths that makes their appeal so universal?

"Cambridge IELTS 17 Listening Test 1 with Answers | Latest IELTS Listening Practice Test 2026"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.
매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
