1
Test 3.
2
This is the IELTS Listening Test.
3
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
4
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
5
All the recordings will be played once only.
6
The test is in four parts.
7
At the end of the test, you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
8
Now turn to part one.
9
Part 1.
10
You will hear a man talking to the coordinator of a photography club.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
12
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
13
Hello Wayside Camera Club, Breeder speaking.
14
Oh, hello.
15
My name's Dan, and I'd like to join your club.
16
That's great, Dan.
17
We have an application form.
18
Would you like to complete it over the phone?
19
Then you can ask any questions you might have.
20
Oh, yes, thanks.
21
Okay.
22
So, what's your family name?
23
It's green, Dan Green.
24
So, can I take your email address?
25
Yes, it's dan1068 @market .com.
26
Thanks.
27
And what about your home address?
28
Well, I'm about ten miles away from your club, in Peacetown.
29
I live in a house there.
30
OK.
31
So what's the house number and street?
32
It's 52 Marrowfield Street.
33
Is that M A Double R...
34
O W F -I -E -L -D?
35
That's right.
36
And that's Peacetown, you said?
37
Uh -huh.
38
So, how did you hear about our club?
39
Did you look on the internet?
40
I usually do that, but this time.. well, I was talking to a relative the other day and he suggested it.
41
Oh, is he a member too?
42
He belongs to another club, but he'd heard good things about yours.
43
Okay.
44
So what do you hope to get from joining?
45
Well, one thing that really interests me is the competitions that you have.
46
I enjoy entering those.
47
Right.
48
Anything else?
49
Well, I also like to socialise with other photographers.
50
That's great.
51
So what type of membership would you like?
52
What are the options?
53
It's £30 a year for full membership or £20 a year if you're an associate.
54
I think I'll go for the full membership, then.
55
That's a good idea because you can't vote in meetings with an associate membership.
56
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
57
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
58
If I could just find out a bit more about you.
59
Okay.
60
So, you said you wanted to compete.
61
Have you ever won any photography competitions?
62
Not yet, but I have entered three in the past.
63
Oh, that's interesting.
64
So why don't you tell me something about those?
65
Let's start with the first one.
66
Well, the theme was entitled Domestic Life.
67
I see.
68
So it had to be something related to the home?
69
Yeah.
70
I chose to take a photo of a family sitting round the dinner table having a meal.
71
And, erm, I didn't win, but I did get some feedback.
72
Oh, what did the judges say?
73
That it was too busy as a picture.
74
Aha.
75
So it was the composition of the picture that they criticised?
76
That's right.
77
And once they'd told me that, I could see my mistake.
78
So what was the theme of the second competition?
79
Well, my university was on the coast, and that area gets a lot of beautiful sunsets.
80
So that was the theme.
81
Oh, sunsets.
82
That's a great theme.
83
Yes, the instructions were to capture the clouds as well.
84
It couldn't just be blue sky and a setting sun.
85
Sure, 'cause they give you all those amazing pinks and purples.
86
Yeah.
87
And I thought I'd done that well, but the feedback was that I should have waited a bit longer to get the shot.
88
I see.
89
So the timing wasn't right?
90
Yes, I took it too soon basically.
91
And then the third competition I entered was called animal magic.
92
Well, that's a difficult subject.
93
I know.
94
I had to take hundreds of shots.
95
I'm sure, because animals move all the time.
96
That's what we had to show.
97
There had to be some movement in the scene.
98
I got a great shot of a fox in the end, but I took it at night and, well, I suspected that it was a bit dark,
99
which is what I was told.
100
Well, Dan, you seem to be really keen, and we'd be delighted to have you in our club.
101
I'm sure we can help with all those areas that you've outlined.
102
Thanks, that's great.
103
That is the end of part one.
104
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

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.
