1
Test 4.
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 ten minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
8
Now turn to part one.
9
Part one.
10
You will hear a man phoning the owner of a holiday cottage.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions one to six.
12
Thanks.
13
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
14
Hello.
15
Oh, hello.
16
I was hoping to speak to Jack Fitzgerald about renting a cottage.
17
I'm his wife Shirley and we own the cottages together so I'm sure I can help you.
18
Great.
19
My name's Tom.
20
Some friends of ours rented Granary Cottage from you last year
21
and they thought it was great so my wife and I are hoping to come in May for a week.
22
What date did you have in mind?
23
The week beginning the 14th, if possible.
24
I'll just check.
25
I'm sorry, Tom, it's already booked that week.
26
It's free the week beginning the 28th, though, for seven nights.
27
In fact, that's the only time you could have it in May.
28
Oh, well, we could manage that, I think.
29
We'd just need to change a couple of things.
30
How much would it cost?
31
That's the beginning of high season, so it'd be 550 pounds for the week.
32
Ah, that's a bit more than we wanted to pay, I'm afraid.
33
We've budgeted up to 500 pounds for accommodation.
34
Well, we've just finished converting another building into a cottage, which we're calling Cherville Cottage.
35
Sorry, what was that again?
36
Cherville.
37
C -H -E -R -V for Victor, I -L.
38
Oh, that's a herb, isn't it?
39
That's right.
40
It grows fairly wild around here.
41
You could have that for the week you want for £480.
42
OK, so could you tell me something about it, please? Of course.
43
The building was built as a garage.
44
It's a little smaller than Granary Cottage.
45
So that must sleep two people as well.
46
That's right.
47
There's a double bedroom.
48
Does it have a garden?
49
Yes, you get to it from the living room through French doors, and we provide two deck chairs.
50
We hope to build a patio in the near future, but I wouldn't like to guarantee it'll be finished by May.
51
Okay.
52
The front door opens onto the old farmyard, and parking isn't a problem.
53
There's plenty of room at the front for that.
54
There are some trees and potted plants there.
55
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions seven to ten.
56
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
57
What about facilities in the cottage?
58
It has standard things like a cooker and fridge, I presume.
59
In the kitchen area, there's a fridge freezer and we've just put in an electric cooker.
60
Is there a washing machine?
61
Yes.
62
There's also a TV in the living room, which plays DVDs too.
63
The bathroom is too small for a bath, so there's a shower instead.
64
I think a lot of people prefer that nowadays anyway.
65
It's more environmentally friendly, isn't it?
66
Unless you spend half the day in it.
67
Exactly.
68
What about heating?
69
It sometimes gets quite cool at that time of year.
70
There's central heating, and if you want to light a fire, there's a stove.
71
We can provide all the wood you need for it.
72
It smells so much nicer than coal, and it makes the room very cosy.
73
We've got one in our own house.
74
That sounds very pleasant.
75
Perhaps we should come in the winter to make the most of it.
76
Yes, we find we don't want to go out when we've got the fire burning.
77
There are some attractive views from the cottage which I haven't mentioned.
78
There's a famous stone bridge.
79
It's one of the oldest in the region and you can see it from the living room.
80
It isn't far away.
81
The bedroom window looks in the opposite direction and has a lovely view of the hills and the monument at the top.
82
Well, that all sounds perfect.
83
I'd like to book it, please.
84
Would you want a deposit?
85
Yes.
86
We ask for 30 % to secure your booking.
87
So that'll be...
88
£144.
89
And when would you like the rest of the money?
90
You're coming in May.
91
So the last day of March, please.
92
Fine.
93
Excellent.
94
Could I just take your details so that I can...
95
That is the end of part one.
96
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part one.

Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: cottage /ˈkɒt.ɪd͡ʒ/, pound /ˈpaʊ̯nd/, garage /ɡəˈɹɑʒ/, nowadays /ˈnaʊ.ə.deɪz/, herb /hɜːb/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: guarantee /ˌɡæɹ.ənˈtiː/, patio /ˈpæt.i.əʊ/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: guarantee /ˌɡæɹ.ənˈtiː/, garage /ɡəˈɹɑʒ/
Zo oefen je met deze video

- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als bedroom, carefully, wash.
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.
