1
Part 2.
2
You will hear a guide at a farming museum talking to a group of visitors.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.
5
Good morning everyone and welcome to the Museum of Farming Life.
6
i understand it's your first visit here
7
so i'd like to give you some background information about the museum
8
and then explain a little about what you can see during your visit so
9
where we're standing at the moment is the entrance to a large building
10
that was constructed in 1880 as the home of a local
11
businessman alfred palmer of the palmer biscuit factory it was later sold
12
and became a Hall of Residence for Students in 1911 and a museum in 1951.
13
In 2005, a modern extension was built to accommodate the museum's collections.
14
The museum's owned by the university and apart from two rooms that are our offices,
15
the university uses the main part of the building.
16
You may see students going into the building for lessons, but it's not open to museum visitors, I'm afraid.
17
It's a shame because the interior architectural features are outstanding, especially the room that used to be the library.
18
Luckily, we've managed to keep entry to the museum free.
19
This includes access to all the galleries, outdoor areas and the rooms for special exhibitions.
20
We run activities for children and students, such as the museum club, for which there's no charge.
21
We do have a donation box just over there, so feel free to give whatever amount you consider appropriate.
22
We do have a cloakroom, if you'd like to leave your coats and bags somewhere.
23
Unlike other museums, photography is allowed here, so you might like to keep your cameras with you.
24
You might be more comfortable not carrying around heavy rucksacks, though keep your coats and jackets on as it's quite cold in the museum garden today.
25
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
26
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
27
I'd like to tell you about the different areas of the museum.
28
Just inside and outside the main gallery, we have an area called Four Seasons.
29
Here, you can watch a four -minute animation of a woodland scene.
30
It was designed especially for the museum by a group of young people on a film studies course and it's beautiful.
31
Children absolutely love it, but then so do adults.
32
The main gallery is called Town and Country.
33
It includes a photographic collection of prize -winning sheep and shepherds.
34
Leaving town and country, you enter farmhouse kitchen, which is, well, self -explanatory Here,
35
we have the oldest collection of equipment for making butter and cheese in the country And this morning,
36
a specialist cheesemaker will be giving demonstrations of how it's produced You may even get to try some
37
after that you can go in two directions to the right is a staircase
38
that takes you up to a landing from where you can
39
look down on the galleries to the left is a room called a year on the farm
40
there is lots of seating here as sometimes we use the room for school visits
41
so it's a good place to stop for a rest
42
if you're feeling competitive you can take our memory test in which you answer questions about things you've seen in the museum.
43
The next area is called Wagon Walk.
44
This contains farm carts from nearly every part of the country.
45
It's surprising how much regional variation there was.
46
Beside the carts are display boards with information about each one.
47
The carts are old and fragile, so we ask you to keep your children close to you and ensure they don't climb on the carts.
48
From wagon walk, you can either make your way back to reception
49
or go out into the garden or even go back to take another look in the galleries.
50
In the far corner of the garden is Bees Are Magic
51
but we're redeveloping this area so you can't visit that at the moment.
52
You can still buy our honey in the shop though.
53
Finally, there's the pond which contains all kinds of interesting wildlife.
54
There are baby ducks that are only a few days old as well as tiny frogs.
55
The pond isn't deep and there is a fence around it so it's perfectly safe for children.
56
That is the end of part two.
57
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.

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.
