Les maken...
1
Now open your question paper and look at Part 1.
2
You'll hear three different extracts.
3
For questions 1 to 6, choose the answer, A, B or C, which fits best according to what you hear.
4
There are two questions for each extract.
5
Extract 1.
6
You overhear part of a conversation between the secretary of a golf club and a visitor to the club.
7
Now look at questions one and two.
8
Sorry to be late.
9
This club's a bit off the beaten track, isn't it?
10
Thought I'd never find it.
11
You don't have an in -car satellite navigation system, then?
12
A sat -nav?
13
No, I don't though I suppose I should invest in one.
14
I often have this sort of trouble.
15
Getting to a town's a piece of cake, but after that, well, it's not so much the cost.
16
My friends all have them and tell me the price is going down all the time.
17
But electronic gadgets aren't my favourite things.
18
Fine when they work, nightmare when they don't.
19
A little black box could hardly have been less useful than my map today, though.
20
I wouldn't be without mine now.
21
I won't try and blind you with science, but I do know quite a bit about satellites.
22
The technology is amazing.
23
Position can be pinpointed to within a metre.
24
Of course, accuracy is down to the mapping companies who do the updating work, but new models come out all the time.
25
It's entirely up to you, of course, but imagine never having to ask for directions again.
26
That'll be good.
27
I'll certainly give it some thought.
28
Now you'll hear the recording again.
29
Sorry to be late.
30

31

36

37
Getting to a town's a piece of cake, but after that...
38
Well, it's not so much the cost.
39
My friends all have them and tell me the price is going down all the time.
40
But electronic gadgets aren't my favourite things.
41

42

51

52
Extract 2 You hear part of a discussion in
53
which the anthropologist Paula Drew and the comedian Mike Morton are talking about their lives.
54
Now look at questions 3 and 4.
55
We both grew up in a fairly rough part of the city, Mike, so I'm assuming you used comedy to keep yourself safe and popular in the long run.
56
Well, in school, as you know, if you could run fast or make people laugh, you had a very good chance of surviving and emerging unscathed.
57
I wasn't a fast runner, so I exploited comedy to avoid unwelcome attention.
58
It seemed to come easy and it worked.
59
Your type of comedy is less spontaneous than reflective.
60
You see things from your own point of view, don't you, and create a world for other people to see, whereas I explore the world that's already there, which most people don't see.
61
Don't you think that the key to achieving what you want in life is the realisation
62
that it's going to be tough and the sheer persistence that gets you there in the end?
63
What you have to have is massive self -confidence.
64
With that, you can do anything.
65
And being specific about what it is you want to do.
66
Oh well, that goes without saying.
67
Now you'll hear the recording again.

80
Extract 3 You hear part of a radio discussion about holiday reading.
81
Now look at questions 5 and 6.
82
If you're English, a nice, sad 19th century romance is very useful if you're on holiday and you get attacked by homesickness,
83
because it conjures up dripping English autumn days perfectly.
84
I always take something by this chap who's written a number of books about the criminal underworld of Boston,
85
Massachusetts, which is hardly culturally or geographically a place that I know, but I find it fascinating.
86
There's no doubt about it.
87
If you compile, as I do, dictionaries of slang for a living, one is drawn inevitably not, alas, to the great classics,
88
who are on the whole rather light on slang, but to someone like this fellow, who has this amazing ability,
89
far beyond quoting, of writing 20 or 40 pages of dialogue in almost incomprehensible slang,
90
which I have the most wonderful time going through.
91
I find it very alluring.
92

- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: navigation /nævɪˈɡeɪʃən/, dictionary /ˈdɪk.ʃəˌnɛ.ɹi/, inevitably /ɪˈnɛvɪtəbli/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, spontaneous /spɑnˈteɪ.ni.əs/

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
