Section 1.

You will hear a company manager who wants to employ some new staff phoning a recruitment agency.

Hello Morgan Recruitment Agency, how may I help you?

Hello, I need to employ some new staff for my company and I believe your agency can help with that?

Yes, of course.

First I'll get some details from you.

Can I have your name please?

Sure, my name is Peter Smith.

And can I also get a contact number?

Our number here is 047 888 3925.

Thank you.

Can I also take down some details about your company?

What's your company name?

It's Van de Transport.

Is that V-A-N?

That's N for November, D-E-R?

That's right.

We are a large trucking company.

The transport industry is really booming, especially for fresh fruit and vegetables, isn't it?

Yes.

We have a fleet of refrigerated trucks, though, so we mostly curry frozen goods, fish, vegetables, pizza, all sorts.

I see.

So you said that you need some new staff members.

When would you need them to start?

We'd like them to start around the 27th of August.

Just looking at my calendar here, the 27th is a Sunday, so do you mean the 28th?

Ah, yes, that's right.

We're hoping to hold any interviews around July 29th.

I'll get more details of that later.

OK.

Now, could you tell me about the jobs you have available so we can hopefully find some suitable candidates?

Sure.

The first position is an office manager.

So does the job involve typical management duties?

Yes, but they also have to liaise with our main client, which is a large supermarket chain.

So a background in a company like that is essential.

OK.

I'll note that down.

It sounds like an important role.

What are the minimum qualifications?

Do they need a university education, like a degree?

Yes, candidates would definitely have one.

OK.

Can you tell me about the next position?

We're looking for a full-time mechanic.

So I assume the job will involve doing general repairs on trucks?

Yes, that's right.

And one of the other key responsibilities is to produce a written report for each vehicle.

I think we have several people on our books that would be suitable.

And will the mechanic be doing much travelling?

Some, yes, but not a great deal.

Unlike our next vacancy, that's for a full-time truck driver.

Right.

What kind of shifts are they expected to work?

They usually travel around 1,000 kilometres over a five-day period.

I see.

This job is different to our usual ones, though.

It involves moving animals.

That sounds interesting.

Yes.

Our company has just got a new contract, so we've bought new trucks and want a driver with that kind of experience.

Great.

Is there anything else I should make a note of?

Well, we own all of the trucks, but apart from their driving duties, it is up to all our drivers to clean their vehicle between trips.

We do give them extra time for that.

OK.

And are there any other positions available?

Yes.

We're looking for a warehouse supervisor.

And what will this involve?

They'll be in charge of our new warehouse.

It's located close to the airport.

We've recently moved out of the city centre.

Oh, that must be more convenient.

And what are some of the requirements for this role?

The successful candidate would be able to work effectively in a busy environment.

Sometimes they'll be on call twenty-four hours for our night-time deliveries.

So, given the hours they'll be working, I assume it will be necessary for the candidate to have a car?

Yes, that's right.

Buses and trains just don't operate at those times, unfortunately.

OK, Mr Smith.

I'll have a look at the job seekers we have on our books

and see if we have any suitable candidates for the positions you have available.

Practice of the day.

You will hear a tour guide introducing a museum to a group of tourists.

Good afternoon.

Welcome to Barton Museum.

I am Carly and I am your tour guide.

I would be taking you through all the places of interest in this museum before we actually set out to go.

The first building we stop at is the Barton House, which was built by the man himself, Barton.

When he first came to this area, it was largely uninhabited, and as a matter of fact, this place was a vast expanse of land where an abandoned farm was situated.

After he bought it, he began building, and in about three years, the basic structure was complete, although he never really stopped building.

As a man who loved the arts, Barton spent a good fortune on them.

He had several paintings from all over the world, and his gallery is still considered one of the best in town.

One of the most notable of his collection is the Chinese wallpaper, which was painted in the 18th century.

Rumor has it that he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the piece of art.

Barton kept adding some features to his house every year.

100

He did this until the night he died.

101

He was building a new bird room in which he collapsed and never came to himself.

102

His dining room is also beautifully adorned with antiquity, from the tables to the stools to the mats.

103

The chairs were bought from some Japanese merchants in the area then.

104

Looking at the location of his house, which sits some feet higher than surrounding lands, it is possible to see areas of just green,

105

lush vegetation that run for miles.

106

At the backyard, there is a garden which he started himself.

107

He used to care for the plants there personally and made sure they never lacked water.

108

He detested fertilizers as he believed that it would spoil the cycle of growth of the plants in the garden.

109

He had some trees in the garden.

110

They are not ordinary trees, but some rare ones, and they have been alive for decades now.

111

Under one of those trees was his favorite spot, and history tells us that he used to sing and pray under the tree.

112

Recently, the government brought in some flamingos here as the environment supports their growth and development well.

113

They are believed to make the scenery livelier and more beautiful.

114

Although there are many exotic animals in the garden, swans are still the most popular animal here.

115

They seem to be everywhere and it was said that Barton thought that they were a gift from the heaven.

116

It was forbidden to kill or hurt any of these animals in his time.

117

Now let's take a look at other interesting places this site has to offer.

118

Away from the backyard there is a gallery just at the

119

right side of the road a few feet from the entrance and there is usually a history exhibition every week.

120

Halfway down the path to the east of the toilet, we have the woodland and the area is just beautiful.

121

Barton decided to have it just because he loved the view.

122

If you keep walking down the path in front of you to the west of the site, you will see a large gift shop beside the toilet.

123

It has a large collection of handicrafts.

124

These handicrafts are not actually made by Barton himself, but are imitations of his artistic works.

125

As you have heard enough about this man, we would now proceed to see these things for ourselves.

126

And I'm very sure that you...

127

Part 3.

128

You will hear two students, Alice and Tim, talking about the lectures they have had recently.

129

Tim, the lectures we've been attending recently have been very informative.

130

I love the diversity of the information we're learning.

131

It gives a broad overall picture of the subject.

132

True, Alice.

133

And it's useful to have a mentor help us get the most out of our studies.

134

I admit, I wasn't particularly confident before starting this course.

135

I felt my skills were not at the level required to succeed.

136

I felt the same way, but with help from Mr. Jarvis, I'm growing in self-confidence and ability every day.

137

I'm grateful he has the time to spend one-on-one with the students.

138

Yeah, I improved a lot.

139

I would like him to be able to to give us more information on other subjects.

140

However, he does give a very narrow view of economics.

141

And I would like some advice on how to prepare for our seminars.

142

I'm never sure what to expect.

143

I'm focusing on passing my exams at the moment.

144

Mr. Jarvis has been coaching me in this respect.

145

He saw I was worried and offered to help.

146

I'm grateful for his help in this respect too.

147

I'll think about what to study next year once I've passed.

148

I'm not sure what I should do with my life.

149

I can't see myself pursuing a career in economics.

150

You have many skills that could be useful in several different fields.

151

You've talked with the tutor about it previously, haven't you?

152

Not regarding my career.

153

I did discuss with him some options for next semester, which course I might choose.

154

He had some great advice.

155

He suggested that I should continue studying in this field for now.

156

I wonder if he might help me with the experiments I need to conduct.

157

I should ask him.

158

Great idea.

159

How do you feel about the essays we've been required to write?

160

I thought it can be difficult, and it is actually.

161

But I'm just able to deal with it.

162

There are so many assignments to complete.

163

If there were any harder, I don't think I could manage.

164

I feel the same way.

165

I was talking with John yesterday, and he believes the level of difficulty for our assignments could be higher.

166

That they are too basic for him.

167

I'm happy for him.

168

I think this subject poses many challenges though.

169

Why do you say that?

170

Your mathematical skills are very high.

171

I heard you aced all your exams throughout high school.

172

At first the subject didn't pique my interest.

173

I've had no previous experience in economics.

174

So this is all new ground for me.

175

Well, you seem to be succeeding despite your misgivings.

176

My one concern is that we don't have the opportunity to put the theory we're learning to any practical use.

177

We learn many formulas and strategies, but with no practical application, it feels like we are wasting our time.

178

I don't agree.

179

I feel that the project we worked on last month was very practical.

180

We had the chance to test our skills and ascertain the areas we need to improve.

181

I will say that this course is giving us many opportunities to expand our networks, which will be of benefit when we have graduated and are seeking employment.

182

Yes, I've had the opportunity to meet many successful economists and businessmen, and hear how they rose to their positions through hard work and dedication.

183

This has been of great value.

184

Do you feel we have had enough opportunities to experience what it is like to work in a large organization?

185

At first I believed that to be the case.

186

Now I'm not so sure.

187

I think we've been given ample opportunities, first through the work placement program,

188

and then by means of the excursions we've taken to some of the most prominent financial institutions in the country.

189

I feel though that through the course we haven't put enough emphasis on communication.

190

Communication is vital in the workplace, especially in an environment where one mistake can have serious consequences.

191

But I believe we've been taught the necessary skills.

192

Our lecture yesterday covered this topic thoroughly.

193

You mentioned you may not continue with economics.

194

Is it perhaps because you believe we haven't been shown the career possibilities in this field?

195

No, our classes with Ms. Hathaway have been beneficial in showing the possibilities.

196

It seems the teachers here would like us all to continue in our study.

197

They take every opportunity to assist us in identifying what specific career to pursue.

198

I agree.

199

They have made it very clear what our options are, which I'm thankful for.

200

Practice of the Day You will hear a man from a tax agency introducing taxation.

201

You can't just guess what your income was, or you may be charged a large sum of penalty.

202

Income can come in different forms including wage statements, independent freelancer statements.

203

Currently apart from invoices we also take bank statements.

204

Our tax period usually lasts for one year.

205

Different states have different policies but here it runs from April to the end of March next year.

206

All of your current Supervisors within the tax period are required to provide you with a wage statement.

207

If you have not received an annual wage statement within one month of the end of the fiscal year,

208

you should contact us and we will request them to send this statement immediately.

209

But you need to ask your employers to provide the employment statement because that's something we can't help.

210

A failure to pay along with the evasion of or resistance to taxation is punishable by law.

211

If you do not file an annual tax return, you may find that you will have to pay a penalty up to $3,000 in some instances.

212

So you'd better file your taxes promptly since the government does not tolerate this.

213

Everyone should make sure they file a tax return in a timely manner.

214

Now I suppose you have known something about tax.

215

They are very important.

216

I hope you can always keep them in mind.

217

And here are some random tips which are also helpful.

218

When you purchase a new car during the tax period, please note that you will need to work out the latest tax rate and pay a line item tax for this.

219

For those who just started getting to know tax filing, I do not recommend that you take multiple types of taxes into consideration at your first attempt.

220

The calculation will be more straightforward with just one type of tax.

221

Please know that most people use their computers to deal with their taxes.

222

When using your computer to do your taxes or subscribe to an online tax service,

223

you will find many advantages that don't exist when you do it at an office.

224

One of the advantages of preparing your taxes online is

225

that you can save whatever information you have gathered and then resume your preparations at another time.

226

In doing this, since the tax information won't take much of the storage space,

227

you don't have to worry about whether your computer will be able to accommodate the information you have gathered.

228

Also in doing your taxes online

229

or in using an online tax service you will find

230

that mistakes are less likely to happen as the online tax preparation programs have safeguards to prevent you from omitting required information.

231

Generally to begin working on your taxes you will go to the tax office

232

and inquire the office workers and finally fill in some forms.

233

But for now you can go to our website and download some.

234

If necessary you can take some time to complete a questionnaire

235

which will give you advice on which type of form you should fill in.

236

If there are any questions you cannot answer you can call to speak to someone in person.

237

Thank you for attending tonight's presentation.

238

Please know that my central Government Tax Agency Associates

239

and I are always willing to help you with your tax preparation by answering any questions you might have.

240

Thank you.

241

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.
