Track 1.

Listening Part 1.

Worksheet 1.

For each question, choose the correct answer.

Look at question 1.

1. What did the man do at the sports centre yesterday?

I went along to that new sports centre yesterday evening.

Oh yeah?

Is it any good?

Well, I hadn't become a member yet, but they showed me around.

It was pretty good.

I was thinking of joining so that I could do diving lessons, but there's no pool, so I don't know.

Oh, that's a shame.

Did you try any of the facilities while you were there?

I did a quick workout in the gym at the sports centre.

The machines are great.

You'd like it because they have a running track outside.

Interesting.

I'll go and take a look.

Now listen again.

2. Which sport does the woman compete in?

Are you into sport, Julie?

Yeah, I've loved it since I was little and I've competed in a few different things.

Oh, really?

Do you mean in team sports?

Well, I play football, but only for fun with my friends.

I preferred baseball when I was at school.

I was quite good at it and I almost played in a national tournament once.

But no, I'm actually hoping to go out to Spain to take part in the surfing championships next month.

That sounds amazing.

I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks.

Three.

Where will the friends go running this evening?

I'm not as fit as I used to be.

I need to start doing some training again.

Well, why don't you come for a run with me this evening after college?

I usually set off from home around six o'clock.

We could go along a path through the woods near college, or we could go into the countryside, which is what I do.

There's a path by the river.

It's more peaceful than running through the streets and there are some beautiful views.

Well, okay then, why not?

4. Which winter sport was Max good at when he was young?

I'm going snowboarding next week.

Have you ever tried it, Max?

Not since I entered a competition when I was a teenager.

It didn't end well.

I came last and injured my ankle.

Oh, that doesn't sound good.

Well, no, it wasn't.

I used to be one of the fastest skiers I knew when I was that age.

My family lived in Switzerland for a few years, so I just expected to be good at other winter sports too, like snowboarding and ice hockey.

But I failed to get into the school team for that.

Really?

132

You know we said we'd meet at the sailing club later this afternoon.

133

Well, the thing is, I forgot that I've already got an appointment at the golf club.

134

My son, Tom, is thinking about joining, so I wanted to show him around.

135

We're also going to meet the coach.

136

I want to ask a few questions.

137

Tom plays a lot of football, and I'm not sure it will be easy for him to do both sports.

138

Can we meet another day instead?

139

Sorry about this.

140

Now listen again.

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.
