Question 1.

You will hear a conversation between a man and a woman discussing the rental of a car.

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

You will see that there is an example.

This time only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.

Good morning, sir.

Welcome to Cheapy's car hire.

Can I help you?

Yes, please.

I need to rent a car.

That's no problem, sir.

When would you like it?

Tomorrow morning.

Let's look then.

Today's the 6th of August, so you'll need it on the 7th of August.

So, 7th of August is the correct answer.

Now we begin.

You should answer the questions as you listen, as the recording is not played twice.

Listen carefully to the conversation and answer questions 1 to 5.

Good morning, sir.

Welcome to Cheapy's Car Hire.

Can I help you?

Yes, please.

I need to rent a car.

That's no problem, sir.

When would you like it?

Tomorrow morning.

Let's look, then.

Today's the 6th of August, so you'll need it on the 7th of August.

That's right.

Now, I'll just need to take some details from you, sir.

Can I take your name, please?

John Wilson.

And your home address?

95 Green Lane, Manchester.

Green like the colour?

Yes, that's right.

And the postcode is MW74DF.

OK, got that.

Can I have your telephone numbers, please?

My home number is 0206 834 6387 and my mobile is 07779724868.

Sorry, I missed the mobile.

Only me, please.

OK.

You said that you wanted the car tomorrow, but how long will you want it for?

Well, tomorrow's Friday the 7th, and I want it for the whole weekend, so I'll bring it back on Monday morning.

I'll have to charge you for all Friday and Monday, sir.

That's OK.

Good.

Now, what kind of car were you looking for, sir?

I'd like a fairly small car as I'll be driving a lot around town

and a smaller car will be easier to get around

and to park yes that's true well I've got small sizes

in the following types of car a Ford a Renault

and a Toyota they're pretty much the same though the Toyota

is in a cheaper price category I'll take Take the cheapest one, please.

And we can offer you a petrol or a diesel model with that car.

Oh, in that case I'll take the diesel as that will be more economical.

Before the conversation continues, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 6 to 10.

Now how much will this cost me?

Well, the daily rate is £50, but it's only £40 if you take the car for four days or more.

Let's see.

There's also an additional £10 for insurance.

That's not obligatory, but we do recommend that you take the insurance.

Yes, definitely.

So that'll be £170 for the four days then.

Fine.

Where can I pick it up?

You can pick it up here, at the airport, or at your hotel.

Which hotel are you in?

I'm staying at a friend's house next to the International Hotel.

So, can you leave it at the International Hotel and then I can walk around to pick it up?

I'll drop it off at the same place if that's okay.

Yes, that's fine.

By the way, if you have a breakdown or an accident, we'll supply you with a new hire car ASAP.

Our emergency number is on this customer information leaflet, which also has other information.

Here you are and here is a spare set of keys for the car.

Now let me tell you about some things in the car that will be there to help you.

First of all your insurance documents will be in the glove compartment along with a Wesley City map and the car manual.

On the back seat there will be a larger area map of the local district.

If you need a map of any other place, like London, then give us a call and we'll make sure it's there.

No, I won't need that.

In the booch you'll find a spare wheel and a set of tools in case you have a problem.

We have membership with the RAC, so you can call them if you're really in trouble.

The membership card and phone number is in the glove compartment too.

There will be a small fire extinguisher under the passenger seat, but I hope you won't have to use that.

Great.

So where do I pay?

If you go over there to Mr Walker, then he'll sort you out.

100

That is the end of section one.

101

You will now have half a minute to check your answers.

102

Now turn to section 2.

103

Section 2.

104

You will hear the master of a University Hall of Residence

105

giving a short introductory talk to new students at the University Hall of Residence.

106

First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.

107

Now listen carefully to the short introductory talk and answer questions 11 to 15.

108

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Chelston Hall of Residence.

109

My name is Dr Frank Jones and I am the master of Chelston Hall.

110

As you all know, you are all attending Wesley University to study different courses

111

and Chelston Hall of Residence will be your home for the first year of your studies.

112

You are all first -year students as Chelston offers accommodation only to first -year students at the university.

113

In this short talk, I'm going to go through some of the things you ought to know about life in the Hall.

114

I will also go through some rules so that we can all live together in a satisfactory way for the whole year.

115

First of all, I would like to go through the eating arrangements.

116

Chelston Hall offers full board accommodation, so there will be breakfast and dinner every day, with lunch also available at weekends.

117

You are not obliged to go to the meals, but they will be there if you wish to take advantage of them.

118

In fact, it would be a waste of money not to, as you are paying for the food in your hall fees.

119

The times of the meals are as follows.

120

Breakfast is served from 7am to 8 .30am every day, though these times are an hour later at weekends.

121

Dinner is served at 6 .30pm to 7 .45pm, seven days a week.

122

On Saturday and Sunday, Lunch is served at 12 .30pm to 1 .45pm.

123

If you are late, then you will not get any food.

124

Once the hatches are closed in the dining hall, they stay closed.

125

The dining hall is cafeteria -style service and there is always a selection of food for vegetarians.

126

If there are a lot of people at the dining hall, then please queue up in an orderly manner and wait your turn.

127

Please do not push into the queue.

128

At the end of your meal, please take your tray over to the side tables and put your dirty plates and utensils in the appropriate places.

129

We do have kitchen staff, but they are not your servants, and we expect you to take your own dishes and cutlery off the table.

130

Rudeness and incivility to the staff will also not be tolerated.

131

Each evening, after dinner, there will be coffee and tea available in the common room until 9 .30.

132

Again, please do not leave cups lying around, but put the dirty ones back on the trays provided.

133

The coffee service will be discontinued if the common room becomes an untidy tip.

134

Other facilities that we have here on site are a TV room and a self -service laundry.

135

The TV room has one set which can receive the regular channels but no satellite channels.

136

The laundry room has eight washing machines and eight dryers.

137

These are all coin operated.

138

You will need one pound in two fifty pence pieces for one wash.

139

The dryers take twenty pence pieces and will run for fifteen minutes on one twenty pence piece.

140

We recommend that you buy a box of washing detergent at the local supermarket, but you can buy individual packets of washing powder from a vending machine,

141

provided it has not run out.

142

One individual box from the machine is good for one wash.

143

You now have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.

144

Now listen to the rest of the short introductory talk and answer questions 16 to 20.

145

As you will know by now, the hall is divided up into corridors, with six rooms attached to each corridor.

146

Each corridor has shower compartments, one bath and a kitchen.

147

We have cleaners who clean up the corridors and bathrooms, but the cleaners are not responsible for cleaning the kitchens.

148

So, if you want to cook something in addition to the food we provide, then please clean up your dirty pans and plates yourself.

149

If any kitchen gets into too bad a state, then it will be closed and locked up for the remainder of the term.

150

Any dirty dishes or pans that are in the kitchen will just be thrown out.

151

By the way, as you will also know, the corridors are co -ed, so you will need a reasonable amount of consideration and modesty moving around to the bathrooms and back.

152

Another important issue is our fire drill.

153

Please make sure that you have read the notice

154

which is in every corridor about what to do if there is a fire.

155

It is very important that you know where your nearest fire exit is

156

and where to go when you get out of the building.

157

For example, if you are in block A, there are two exits and not everyone should exit from just one of these.

158

The assembly point for both blocks is the car park where

159

your block leader will take a roll call to make sure no one is left inside.

160

We are obliged by the fire service to perform two emergency practices every year.

161

Please take them seriously as if they are not done well then we shall have three

162

or four or five practices or however many it takes to get it right.

163

Finally we have the issue of noise.

164

For a lot of you, this will be the first time not living at home with your family, and you will have access to lots of friends your own age, and alcohol.

165

I must urge you at all times to try and behave with consideration to your fellow hall tenants at all times.

166

Don't play your music too loudly, or make too much noise at any time, and especially at night.

167

People around you all the time will be trying to work, sleep, or just relax have fun

168

but think of others we take quite a strict attitude to those who end up annoying everyone else

169

if you are found to be disturbing others in the hall to an unreasonable amount you will be warned and

170

if the problem persists you will be asked to leave you

171

will not receive any refund of the funds you have paid I hope that I have not unduly worried anyone

172

That is the end of section 2.

173

You'll now have half a minute to check your answers.

174

Now turn to section 3.

175

Section 3.

176

You'll hear two students discussing their project.

177

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.

178

Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.

179

Well, Fred, thanks for coming over to my room.

180

That's okay.

181

I had a lecture near here this morning, so it was easy to come over.

182

We've got to get on with this North Sea oil project anyway.

183

So, did you manage to do any of the things that we decided last week?

184

Most of the things.

185

I got all the books from the library and saw Mr Peters about the research.

186

He told me the names of some good sites on the

187

internet where I could find lots of information about the North Sea Oil industry safety issues.

188

He is a great tutor, isn't he?

189

Yes, he is.

190

So I checked out the sites and made some notes.

191

What about you?

192

Did you get the information on the background and history of the North Sea Oil industry?

193

Yeah, there are loads of information and I've made notes too.

194

I think I've got it all covered.

195

So let me tell you what I found out.

196

I'll run the ideas past you and you can tell me if it's okay.

197

Good idea.

198

So, as you know, the North Sea lies to the east and northeast of England and Scotland.

199

Apparently, the North Sea was long dismissed as a potential source of oil or gas.

200

But over the last four decades, it has become the centre of one of the world's most productive energy industries.

201

Gas was actually first found in quantity in the Groeningen area of the Netherlands in 1959.

202

This was followed by the first British discovery of gas in the West Soul Field, off the coast of East Anglia,

203

by the BP drilling rig Sea Gem late in 1965.

204

Actually, the first accident was on that rig too.

205

Anyway, sorry.

206

Go on, Judith.

207

The British oil and gas industry in the southern North Sea grew rapidly in the early years.

208

The deepening economic crisis in the UK meant

209

that there was enormous pressure on the industry to get gas and later oil flowing.

210

As exploration and investment moved further north, it became clear that there was oil to be found in great quantities.

211

discoveries of oil grew in number as more companies British European

212

and American took out leases on sectors of the North Sea

213

during the 1990s like the rest of the world the North

214

Sea industry was badly affected by the global price fluctuations nevertheless production grew

215

and peaked around 2000 2001 now the North Sea is regarded

216

as a mature province on a slow decline that's about it for now.

217

I'll put more detail into it when we do the presentation.

218

You know, statistics and all that.

219

You now have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.

220

Now listen to the rest of the discussion and answer questions 27 to 30.

221

Yes, you've done a good job.

222

Shall I do the same then?

223

It's not as long as yours.

224

Go ahead.

225

OK then.

226

As I said earlier, the first industrial accident related to the industry in the North Sea happened only days after they discovered the first gas.

227

The sea gem capsized with the loss of 13 lives.

228

There are regular accidents on all oil rigs around the world, but the North Sea is just such a harsh environment that there always seems to be more there.

229

The most famous accident, and the worst disaster in the North Sea, was in the Piper Alpha disaster of 1988.

230

Yes, I remember that one on the news when it happened.

231

Today the industry is very safety conscious.

232

When you first arrive, you are given a safety tour of the installation, detailing all safety aspects, including fire extinguishers,

233

emergency muster stations, lifeboat stations and emergency procedures.

234

You will be introduced to the rig safety programme.

235

Everyone attends weekly safety meetings and daily pre -tour meetings.

236

The weekly meeting is an in -depth look at industry -wide safety news and other safety -related issues on the rig.

237

Companies share safety information with other companies throughout the industry.

238

This helps to avoid repeated incidents.

239

A fire and boat drill is often held on the same day, which involves a mock fire and a mock abandon the rig exercise.

240

The pre -tour meeting is usually a description of the work carried out when you are off shift, the work you will be doing,

241

the work others are currently doing that may affect you and any other relevant issues of the day.

242

Accidents do still happen, as in every industry.

243

However, statistics show that with the massive improvements in offshore safety procedures, you now have a higher chance of having fatal accidents

244

if you work on a building site than you do when on an oil rig.

245

Well, that's all from me.

246

I'll add lots of details too.

247

OK, well let's plan what we have to do next.

248

That is the end of section 3.

249

You will now have half a minute to check your answers.

250

Now turn to section 4.

251

Section 4.

252

You will hear part of an advertising lecture.

253

First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 34.

254

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 34.

255

Good morning, everyone.

256

Today's advertising lecture is on the history and development of highway billboards and their effectiveness.

257

Later on we will look at their design and different uses.

258

The roots of billboard advertising can be traced to the invention

259

of movable type printing by Johannes Gutenberg as far back as 1450

260

and advertising in the modern sense was launched in the form of the handbill.

261

When the lithographic process was perfected in 1796, the illustrated poster became a reality Gradually,

262

measures were taken to ensure exposure of a message for a fixed period of time

263

In order to offer more desirable locations where traffic was heavy,

264

though posters began to erect their own structures In 1835, the large American outdoor poster,

265

more than 50 square feet,

266

originated in New York in Jared Bell's office where he printed posters for the circus In 1900,

267

a standardised billboard structure was created in America and ushered in a boom in national billboard campaigns

268

There are a number of reasons for the recent surge in billboard advertising not the least of which is cost efficiency.

269

Compared to other forms of advertising, billboards are a relatively inexpensive way to get your point across to the general public.

270

Consider this.

271

A newspaper ad is only good for a day and a television commercial only lasts about 30 seconds.

272

But a billboard ad is working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

273

The cost of billboard advertising ranges from about $700 to $2 ,500 a month.

274

At that rate, 10 billboards could run for as much as $25 ,000 per month.

275

That sounds like a lot of money until you realise

276

that a full -page ad running for one day in a major newspaper costs about the same.

277

So billboard advertising can be an effective and cost -efficient way for entrepreneurs to spread the word about their products and services.

278

The Outdoor Advertising Association of America estimates that US businesses spent more than $5 .5 billion on outdoor advertising last year,

279

and the association is anticipating a healthy increase over the next few years.

280

Advances in technology have also contributed to billboard advertising's cost efficiency In the past,

281

billboards had to be hand -painted, a time -consuming and costly venture But with today's computer technology,

282

billboards are designed on a computer screen printed to final

283

or poster paper and glued to the billboard structure The result is higher quality ads in less time for less money.

284

You now have some time to look at questions 35 to 40.

285

Now listen to the rest of the lecture and answer questions 35 to 40.

286

Let's look now at a famous example.

287

In 1925, Alan O'Dell, who owned a small company that made a brushless shaving cream,

288

noticed that gas stations and other local businesses were increasing trade by putting up advertising signs along the nation's highways.

289

He decided that he could increase his sales by putting up sets of signs Five in a set

290

They would not have to be big and a short line on each one would do

291

At first Odell tried the hard sell approach Sales began to increase at once but that did not satisfy him

292

Motorists see these signs, he told himself,

293

at remote places on the highway Perhaps after hours of monotonous driving they would appreciate a touch of rhyme and humour.

294

They would indeed.

295

It was not long before the catchy Burma shave signs, some ironic, some cynical, some absurd, but all of them funny,

296

caught the fancy of nearly everyone, including those people usually critical of advertising.

297

These signs continued as the advertising medium of the company for 35 years and then, when cars travelled too fast to take in these messages more

298

than a dozen words painted in rather small letters the company phased out its roadside advertising

299

Perhaps a growing criticism of this sort of advertising which interfered with highway scenery also influenced the company's decision By late 1965,

300

this criticism resulted in President Lyndon Johnson's Highway Beautification Bill.

301

This bill authorised a federal state campaign to improve the scenery on either side of major highways, to conceal or remove junkyards,

302

and to put billboards sufficiently far back from the highway so that they would not interfere with the view.

303

States that did not comply with the bill could lose 10 % of their federal highway grant.

304

But this was not the end of the billboard industry.

305

Many roads were not part of the highway system

306

which was supported by federal grants and these roads were not affected by the law

307

and nor were signs in commercial and industrial areas.

308

Now let's look at some of the advertising developments in Europe.

309

That is the end of section 4.

310

You will now have half a minute to check your answers.

311

Thank you.

312

Thank you.

313

Thank you.

314

Thank you.

315

Thank you.

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.
