Test 3.
6
I'm going to give you the instructions for this test.
7
I'll introduce each part of the test and give you time to look at the questions.
8
At the start of each piece you'll hear this sound.
9
You'll hear each piece twice.
10
Remember, while you're listening, write your answers on the question paper.
11
You'll have five minutes at the end of the test to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.
12
There will now be a pause.
13
Please ask any questions now because you must not speak during the test.
14
Now open your question paper and look at part one.
15
You'll hear people talking in eight different situations.
16
For questions one to eight, choose the best answer A, B or C.
17
1. You hear some information about a country on a travel programme.
18
Where do most people spend the summer months?
19
A. At the seaside.
20
B. In the capital city.
21
C. In the mountains.
22
In the main summer months, the weather in the capital city is hot and the humidity is terrible.
23
If you're there then, the best thing to do is either sit in a pool all day
24
or surround yourself with air conditioning.
25
You could, however, head higher where it's cooler.
26
The Citra mountains behind the north-east coast have stunning scenery, but the majority never seem to make the effort to get out of the capital,
27
which is a pity, because the coast and the mountains are much pleasanter.

40
basic raw material for all chewing gum is the natural gum cheek lay obtained from the sapodilla tree found in Central America.

42

52
Complain about his situation C.
53
Encourage other listeners Go ahead, David.
54
What have you got to say?
55
Well, I'm 55.
56
I was a bank manager until 10 years ago, and then I lost my job.
57
I was angry, I can tell you.
58
But you can't just sit about feeling sorry for yourself, like most of your callers.
59
Can I just say to anyone listening, my story will give you heart.
60
A bank manager has to be a good listener, right?
61
So I thought, how can I use that skill?
62
Maybe I could be a counsellor of some sort.
63
You know, help people deal with their personal problems?
64
I'm busier now than I've ever been.
65
Go ahead, David.
66

What opinion is she expressing?
79
A. A painting can be a worthwhile investment.
80
B. Only buy a painting if you have room for it.
81
C. Take your time when buying your first painting.
82
The first rule about buying a painting is to immediately put aside any notion
83
that this will make you enough money to keep you in your old age.
84
The overriding factor is that you must really like the work itself.
85
Ask yourself, can you imagine it on the wall next to the TV?
86
Are you happy to have this painting as a fixture in your life?
87
With this in mind, you can now set about looking into the art market.
88
You should do your homework.
89
Fine-tune your taste.
90
Visit a student exhibition.
91
Flick through some contemporary art magazines.

105
She persuaded him to do research C.
106
She wanted him to make money My mother could see I was artistic, and she would never have stood in my way,
107
but she was desperate to ensure that I would do well in life, financially I mean, as she had always struggled.
108
So she helped me with my science homework she really pushed me.
109
If it hadn't been for her, I wouldn't be where I am today.
110
I feel deep down I do have a more natural talent for art rather than science.
111
I even won some awards for my pictures, and I still paint whenever I can.
112
But I suppose when I was growing up, I didn't think I would ever earn enough as an artist, so I studied science at university,
113
and then spent a few years in the States working as a researcher in the oil industry.

C. A farmer.
126
My day starts at six o'clock.
127
It's somewhat chaotic at home early in the morning as we're all rushing around.
128
I try to help my husband feed the animals and then there's the twins to get ready for school.
129
And I get to the surgery at around 8am.
130
There's always a lot of paperwork to do.
131
Then it's seeing patients all day.
132
We've got a trainee watching us at the moment for six months, so I spend some time with her, making sure she's making sense of it all.
133
I enjoy working with students.

144
A. They are very sensitive to criticism.
145
B. They need to be given appropriate goals.
146
C. They often start off with the wrong attitude.
147
When you teach beginners, in a sense you have to tailor-make a course for each of them.
148
Getting the objectives right for each day's course is fundamental.
149
Age or sex makes little difference – it's attitude.
150
Some are delighted if they manage to get their knees on a surfboard, Or maybe standing up in the first session is enough.
151
Most can learn to stand up in half a day because of the foamy boards we use.
152
Others just keep going until they've succeeded.
153
Some make daft mistakes like putting their arms through the legs of their wetsuits, but most beginners are quite sensible.

165

166
C. They vary in length depending on the historical period.
167
Now, John, you write around four historical crime novels each year.
168
How do you manage it?
169
Well, although the characters and stories themselves are made up, I want my books to be historically correct in the details of everyday life I describe.
170
And the further back in history you go, the fewer actual details survive, so I'm careful to keep them to a similar length, and then I'm less tempted to invent things.
171
And let's face it, if a detective takes more than 80,000 words to solve a crime, he begins to look a bit dim, doesn't he?

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.
