1
Section 1.
2
You will hear a telephone conversation between a woman and the reservations clerk at a conference centre.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
4
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
5
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
6
Conference Centre reservations.
7
Good morning.
8
Hi, I'm interested in the Computing Conference next month.
9
Future Directions in Computing?
10
Yes, that's right.
11
The title of the course is Future Directions in Computing.
12
So, Future Directions has been written in the space.
13
Now we shall begin.
14
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
15
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
16
Conference Centre reservations.
17
Good morning.
18
Hi.
19
I'm interested in the Computing Conference next month.
20
Future directions in computing?
21
yes that's right could I ask you a few questions about
22
it of course okay I know the conference is for three days
23
but actually I want to attend on the Friday
24
and Saturday only will
25
that work out to be any cheaper let me have a
26
look well you can register for the two days separately but
27
that wouldn't actually save you very much as it still costs 35 pounds for each day in fact
28
if you could register for the three days you also get
29
an invitation to a free dinner on the Saturday night
30
so that's probably the better option right I'll do
31
that how much will the fees be in
32
that case it's 75 pounds all right I'd like to register for the full three days now can I pay
33
that by credit card I'm afraid not you'll have to send a check to us.
34
Or you can pay at the conference office.
35
Fine.
36
So it's probably easiest
37
if I pay by check now then what else do I
38
need to arrange right how about accommodation I guess that's not included in the price no I'm sorry it's not
39
but we didn't have a few rooms available for delegates at the conference center
40
if you'd like those are very cheap but
41
if you're interested you'll need to book soon because there's always a heavy demand for them.
42
They are only 15 pounds per night, but they are very basic, and you'd have to get your own breakfast, because they don't provide you with that.
43
But it's very convenient, because it's in the same building as the conference rooms.
44
Uh-huh.
45
Or there's a very reasonable guest house, which is 25 pounds per night, and I think that includes your breakfast.
46
Is it close to the conference centre?
47
It would be about a 10 minute walk away from here.
48
I see.
49
That sounds quite reasonable.
50
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
51
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
52
The details are all in our conference pack, which I'll send you.
53
Great, thanks.
54
That'll be very useful.
55
Oh, and can you also send me an application form? Of course.
56
I'll get that in the post you straight away.
57
Is there anything else?
58
Yes, actually.
59
Can you tell me where exactly the Conference Centre is?
60
Well, it's on South Park Road and it's right at the end of the road next to the library.
61
It's a ten-minute taxi ride from the station and will cost you five pounds.
62
Otherwise, you can take the bus, which runs every half an hour from the station.
63
That's the 21A, and it brings you straight to the Conference Centre.
64
Right.
65
Got that.
66
That is the end of section 1.
67
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
68
Thank you.

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.
