Test 1.
4
This is the IELTS Listening Test.
5
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
6
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
7
All the recordings will be played once only.
8
The test is in four parts.
9
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
10
Now turn to part one.
11
Part one.
12
You will hear a teaching assistant calling a country park about a school visit.
13
First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
14
Thank you.
15
OK.
16
What would you like to know?
17
Well, I'm new to this area, so perhaps you could tell me something about the park first, please. Of course.
18
Altogether, the park covers 170 acres.
19
That's 69 hectares.
20
There are three main types of habitat.
21
Wetland, grassland and woodland.
22
The woods are well established and varied, with an oak plantation and other areas of mixed species.
23
Right.
24
The wetland is quite varied too.
25
The original farmland was dug up around 40 years ago to extract gravel.
26
Once this work was completed, the gravel pits filled with water, forming the two large lakes.
27
There are also several smaller ones, ponds and a stream that flows through the park.
28
OK, so I suppose with these different habitats there's quite a variety of wildlife.
29
There certainly is.
30
A lot of different species of birds and insects, and also animals like deer and rabbits.
31
And I understand you organise educational visits for school parties.
32
That's right.
33
We can organise a wide range of activities and adapt them to suit all ages.
34
Can you give me some examples of the activities?
35
Well, one focus is on science, where we help children to discover and study plants, trees and insects.
36
They also collect and analyse data about the things they see.
37
Uh-huh.
38
Another focus is on geography.
39
The park is a great environment to learn and practice reading a map and using a compass to navigate around the park.
40
Do you do anything connected with history?
41
Yes, we do.
42
For instance, the children can explore how the use of the land has changed over time.
43
Then there's leisure and tourism.
44
That focuses on your visitors, I would imagine.
45
Yes, mostly.
46
The children find out about them, their requirements, the problems they may cause and how we manage these.
47
And another subject we cover is music.
48
Here the children experiment with natural materials to create sounds and explore rhythm and tempo.
49
That must be fun.
50
Most children really enjoy it.
51
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7-10.
52
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
53
And of course, all the activities are educational too.
54
Learning outside the classroom encourages children to be creative and to explore and discover for themselves.
55
I would imagine they get a sense of freedom that might not be a normal part of their lives.
56
That's right.
57
And very often the children discover that they can do things they didn't know they could do, and they develop new skills.
58
This gives them greater self-confidence.
59
It sounds great.
60
So what about the practical side of it?
61
How much does it cost for a full day visit?
62
We would expect to bring between 30 and 40 children.
63
If there are over 30, it costs £4.95 for each child who attends on the day.
64
We invoice you afterwards, so you don't pay for children who can't come because of sickness, for example.
65
There's no charge for leaders and other adults, as many as you want to bring.
66
That sounds very fair.
67
Well, thanks for all the information.
68
I'll need to discuss it with my colleagues and I hope to get back to you soon to make a booking.
69
We'll look forward to hearing from you.
70
Goodbye.
71
Goodbye and thank you.
72
Thank you.
73
Part 2.
74
You will hear the chairman of Stanthorpe Twinning Association,
75
which organises the link between Stanthorpe in England and a town in France, talking to members about the year's events.
76
First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
77
Thank you.
78
listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
79
It's great to see so many members of the Twinning Association here tonight.
80
Since the twinning link between our two towns, Stanthorpe here in England and Malat in France was established,
81
the relationship between the towns has gone from strength to strength.
82
Last month, 25 members of the association from Stanthorpe spent a weekend in Malat.
83
Our hosts had arranged a great programme.
84
We learned how cheese is produced in the region and had the chance to taste the products.
85
The theme park trip had to be cancelled, but we all had a great time on the final boat trip down the river.
86
That was the real highlight.
87
This is a special year for the association because it's 25 years since we were founded.
88
In Malat, they're planning to mark this by building a footbridge in the municipal park.
89
We've been discussing what to do here, and we've decided to plant a poplar tree in the museum gardens.
90
We considered buying a garden seat to put there, but the authorities weren't happy with that idea.
91
In terms of fundraising to support our activities, we've done very well.
92
Our pancake evening was well attended and made record profits.
93
And everyone enjoyed the demonstration of French cookery, which was nearly as successful.
94
numbers for our film show were limited because of the venue
95
so we're looking for somewhere bigger next year we're looking forward to welcoming our french visitors here next week
96
and i know that many of you here will be hosting individuals
97
or families the coach from france will arrive at 5 p.m on Friday.
98
Don't try to do too much that first evening as they'll be tired,
99
so have dinner in the house or garden rather than eating out.
100
The weather looks as if it'll be okay, so you might like to plan a barbecue.
101
Then the next morning's market day in town, and that's always a good place to stroll round.
102
On Saturday evening, we'll all meet up at the football club,
103
where once again we'll have Toby Sharp and his band performing English and Scottish country songs.
104
Toby will already be well known to many of you, as last year he organised our special quiz night and presented the prizes.
105
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
106
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
107
Now, on Sunday, we'll be taking our visitors to Farley House.
108
You may not all be familiar with it, so here's a map to help you.
109
You can see the car park at the bottom of the map.
110
There's an excellent farm shop in the grounds where our visitors can buy local produce.
111
It's in the old stables, which is the first building you come to.
112
They're built round a courtyard and the shop's in the far corner on the left.
113
There's also a small café on the right as you go in.
114
I know that one or two of our visitors may not be all that mobile.
115
The main entrance to the house has a lot of steps, so you might want to use the disabled entry.
116
This is on the far side of the house from the car park.
117
Children will probably be most interested in the adventure playground.
118
That's at the northern end of the larger lake, in a bend on the path that leads to the lake.
119
There's lots for children to do there.
120
There are a number of lovely gardens near the house.
121
The kitchen gardens are rectangular and surrounded by a wall.
122
They're to the northeast of the house, quite near the smaller lake.
123
They're still in use and have a great collection of fruit and vegetables.
124
The Temple of the Four Winds is a bit more of a walk, but it's worth it.
125
Take the path from the car park and go past the western sides of the stables and the house.
126
Then when the path forks, take the right hand path.
127
Go up there with the woods on your left and the temple is right at the end.
128
There are great views over the whole area.
129
OK, so that's the end of part two.
130
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.
131
Part 3 You will hear two food science students called Marie and Colin discussing their final year projects.
132
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
133
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
134
I haven't seen you for a bit, Marie.
135
No, I've been busy with my project.
136
You're making a vegan alternative to eggs, aren't you?
137
Something that doesn't use animal products.
138
Yes, I'm using chickpeas.
139
I had two main aims when I first started looking for an alternative to eggs.
140
But actually, I've found chickpeas have got more advantages.
141
Right.
142
But how about your project on reusing waste food?
143
You were looking at bread, weren't you?
144
Yes, it's been hard work, but I've enjoyed it.
145
The basic process was quite straightforward, breaking the stale bread down to a paste, then reforming it.
146
But you were using 3D printing, weren't you, to make the paste into biscuits?
147
Yeah, I'd used that before, but in this project I had time to play around with different patterns for the biscuits
148
and finding how I could add fruit
149
and vegetables to make them a more appetising colour and I was really pleased with what I managed to produce.
150
It must have been a great feeling to make something appetising out of bits of old bread
151
that would have been thrown away otherwise was and I'm hoping
152
that some of the restaurants in town will be interested in the biscuits.
153
I'm going to send them some samples.
154
I came across something on the internet yesterday that might interest you.
155
It was a company that's developed touch sensitive sensors for food labels.
156
It's a special sort of label on the food package.
157
When the label's smooth, the food is fresh and then Even when you can feel bumps on the label, that means the food's gone bad.
158
It started off as a project to help visually impaired people know whether food was fit to eat or not.
159
Interesting.
160
So just solid food?
161
No. Things like milk and juice as well.
162
But actually I thought it might be really good for drug storage in hospitals and pharmacies.
163
Right.
164
And coming back to food, maybe it'd be possible to use it for other things besides freshness,
165
like how many kilograms a joint of meat is, for example.
166
Yes, there's all sorts of possibilities.
167
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
168
Thank you.
169
I was reading an article about food trends predicting how eating habits might change in the next few years.
170
Oh, things like more focus on local products.
171
That seems so obvious, but the shops are still full of imported foods.
172
Yes, they need to be more proactive to address that.
173
And somehow motivate consumers to change, yes.
174
One thing everyone's aware of is the need for a reduction in unnecessary packaging.
175
But just about everything you buy in supermarkets is still covered in plastic.
176
The government needs to do something about it.
177
Absolutely.
178
It's got to change.
179
Do you think there'll be more interest in gluten and lactose-free food?
180
For people with allergies or food intolerances?
181
I don't know.
182
Lots of people I know have been buying that type of food for years now.
183
Yes, even if they haven't been diagnosed with an allergy.
184
That's right.
185
One thing I've noticed is the number of branded products related to celebrity chefs.
186
People watch them cooking on TV and then buy things like spice mixes or frozen foods with the chef's name on.
187
I bought something like that once, but I won't again.
188
Yeah, I bought a ready-made spice mix for chicken, which was supposed to be used by a chef I'd seen on television,
189
and it didn't actually taste of anything.
190
Hmm.
191
Did the article mention ghost kitchens used to produce takeaway food?
192
No. What are they?
193
Well, they might have the name of a restaurant, but actually they're a cooking facility just for delivery meals.
194
The public don't ever go there.
195
But people aren't aware of that.
196
It's all kept very quiet.
197
So people don't realise the food's not actually from the restaurant?
198
Right.
199
Did you know more and more people are using all sorts of different mushrooms now to treat different health concerns?
200
Things like heart problems.
201
Hmm, they might be taking a big risk there.
202
Yes, it's hard to know which varieties are safe to eat.
203
Anyway, maybe now we should...
204
30 seconds to check your answers to part 3.
205
Part 4 You will hear an archaeology student giving a presentation on an important site in Ireland called the Cagy Fields.
206
First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
207
Thank you.
208
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
209
For my presentation today, I'm going to talk about the cagey fields in the northwest of Ireland,
210
one of the largest Neolithic sites in the world.
211
I recently visited this site and observed the work that is currently being done by a team of archaeologists there.
212
The site was first discovered in the 1930s by a local teacher, Patrick Caulfield.
213
He noticed that when local people were digging in the bog, they were constantly hitting against what seemed to be rows of stones.
214
He realised that these must be walls and
215
that they must be thousands of years old for them to predate the bog which subsequently grew over them.
216
He wrote to the National Museum in Dublin to ask them to investigate, but no one took him seriously.
217
It wasn't until 40 years later when Patrick Caulfield's son,
218
Seamus, who had become an archaeologist by then, began to explore further.
219
He inserted iron probes into the bog to map the formation of the stones,
220
a traditional method which local people had always used for finding fuel buried in the bog for thousands of years.
221
Carbon dating later proved that the site was over 5,000 years old and was the largest Neolithic site in Ireland.
222
Thanks to the bog which covers the area, the remains of the settlement at KG Fields,
223
which is over 5,000 years old, are extremely well preserved.
224
A bog is 90% water,
225
its soil so saturated that when the grasses and heathers that grow on its surface die,
226
they don't fully decay but accumulate in layers.
227
Objects remain so well preserved in these conditions because of the acidity of the peat and the deficiency of oxygen.
228
At least 175 days of rain a year are required for this to happen,
229
this part of Ireland gets an average of 225 days.
230
The Neolithic farmers at Keiji would have enjoyed several centuries of relative peace and stability.
231
Neolithic farmers generally lived in larger communities than their predecessors, with a number of houses built around a community building.
232
As they lived in permanent settlements, Neolithic farmers were able to build bigger houses.
233
These weren't round, as people often assume, but rectangular, with a small hole in the roof that allowed smoke to escape.
234
This is one of many innovations and indicates that the Neolithic farmers were the first people to cook indoors.
235
Another new technology that Neolithic settlers brought to Ireland was pottery.
236
Fragments of Neolithic pots have been found in KG and elsewhere in Ireland.
237
The pots were used for many things, as well as for storing food.
238
Pots were filled with a small amount of fat, and when this was set alight, they served as lamps.
239
It's thought that the KG fields were mainly used as paddocks for animals to graze in.
240
Evidence from the cagey fields suggests that each plot of land was of a suitable size to sustain an extended family.
241
They may have used a system of rotational grazing in order to prevent overgrazing and to allow for plant recovery and regrowth.
242
This must have been a year-round activity, as no structures have been found which would have been used to shelter animals in the winter.
243
However, archaeologists believe that this way of life at Keiji ceased abruptly.
244
Why was this?
245
Well, several factors may have contributed to the changing circumstances.
246
The soil would have become less productive and led to the abandonment of farming.
247
The crop rotation system was partly responsible for this, as it would have been very intensive and was not sustainable.
248
But there were also climatic pressures too.
249
The farmers at Keiji would have enjoyed a relatively dry period, but this began to change, and the conditions became wetter, as there was a lot more rain.
250
It was these conditions that encouraged the bog to form over the area which survives today.
251
So now I'd like to show you some...
252
That is the end of part four.
253
You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.
254
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.
