All the recordings will be played once only.

The test is in four parts.
7
At the end of the test you You will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
8
Now turn to part 1.
9
Part 1 You will hear a man talking to the coordinator of a photography club.
10
First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
11
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
12
Hello, Wayside Camera Club.
13
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
OK.
22
So, what's your family name?
23
It's Green.
24
Dan Green.
25
So, can I take your email address?
26
Yes, it's dan1068 at market.com.
27
Thanks.
28
And what about your home address?
29
Well, I'm about ten miles away from your club, in Peacetown.
30
I live in a house there.
31
OK.
32
So what's the house number and street?
33
It's 52 Marrowfield Street.
34
Is that M-A-R-R-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...
41
Well, I was talking to a relative the other day and he suggested it.
42
Oh, is he a member too?
43
He belongs to another club, but he'd heard good things about yours.
44
OK.
45
So, what do you hope to get from joining?
46
Well, one thing that really interests me is the competitions that you have.
47
I enjoy entering those.
48
Right.
49
Anything else?
50
Well, I also like to socialise with other photographers.
51
That's great.
52
So, what type of membership would you like?
53
What are the options?
54
It's £30 a year for full membership, or £20 a year if you're an associate.
55
I think I'll go for the full membership then.
56
That's a good idea, because you can't vote in meetings with an associate membership.
57
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions five to ten.
58
Now listen!
59
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
60
If I could just find out a bit more about you.
61
OK.
62
So, you said you wanted to compete.
63
Have you ever won any photography competitions?
64
Not yet, but I have entered three in the past.
65
Oh, that's interesting.
66
So why don't you tell me something about those?
67
Let's start with the first one.
68
Well, the theme was entitled Domestic Life.
69
I see.
70
So it had to be something related to the home?
71
Yeah, I chose to take a photo of a family sitting round the dinner table having a meal.
72
And, um, I didn't win, but I did get some feedback.
73
Oh, what did the judges say?
74
That it was too busy as a picture.
75
Aha, so it was the composition of the picture that they criticised?
76
That's right, and once they'd told me that, I could see my mistake.
77
So what was the theme of the second competition?
78
Well, my university was on the coast, and that area gets a lot of beautiful sunsets.
79
So that was the theme.
80
Oh, sunsets.
81
That's a great theme.
82
Yes, the instructions were to capture the clouds as well.
83
It couldn't just be blue sky and a setting sun.
84
Sure, because they give you all those amazing pinks and purples.
85
Yeah, and I thought I'd done that well, but the feedback was that I should have waited a bit longer to get the shot.
86
I see.
87
So the timing wasn't right.
88
Yes, I took it too soon, basically.
89
And then the third competition I entered was called Animal Magic.
90
Well, that's a difficult subject.
91
I know.
92
I had to take hundreds of shots.
93
I'm sure, because animals move all the time.
94
That's what we had to show.
95
There had to be some movement in the scene.
96
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,
97
which is what I was told.
98
Well, Dan, you seem to be really keen, and we'd be delighted to have you in our club.
99
I'm sure we can help with all those areas that you've outlined.
100
Thanks, that's great.
101
That is the end of part one.
102
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
103
Thank you.
104
Thank you.
105
Thank you.

Boost Your English Speaking with This Real-Life Dialogue

What You'll Learn

This video is a goldmine for building practical speaking skills! First, you’ll practice natural information sharing—like giving your name, email, and address clearly, which is key for daily interactions. Second, you’ll master casual conversation flow, as Dan and the coordinator switch between questions and answers smoothly. Finally, you’ll learn to express goals politely (e.g., “I hope to get from joining…”), a must for joining clubs or teams. These skills aren’t just for IELTS—they’re for real life!

Listen For These Sounds

Connected speech makes English sound fluid, and this dialogue has great examples. Notice how “Dan Green” becomes “DanGreen” with no pause—linking the two words. Also, “I’d like to” shortens to “I’d like t’” (the “o” in “to” is reduced to a schwa sound). And “ten miles away” flows as “tenmilesaway” with soft linking between “ten” and “miles.” These small sounds make a big difference in how native-like you sound—so listen closely and mimic them!

Say It Like a Native

Ready to try the shadowing technique? Play a short clip, pause, and repeat it immediately, copying the rhythm and stress. For example, when Dan says, “I enjoy entering those,” stress “enjoy” and “entering” to match his emphasis. Notice how the coordinator uses a warm, steady pace—mirror that to sound friendly. Practice shadowspeak daily with this dialogue, and you’ll start to feel more confident in your English speaking practice. Remember: it’s not just about words—it’s about how you say them. Keep going—you’re getting closer to sounding like a pro!

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.
