Complete IELTS Bands for To Five Listening Track 4 OK.
2
My name is Clarice Willard.
3
Clarice is C-L-A-R-I-C-E and Willard W-I-L-L-A-R-D.
4
Uh-huh.
5
And have you got a contact number?
6
Yes.
7
I'll give you my mobile,
8
which is 0192 873 4566.
9
That's great.
10
Thanks.
11
And can I ask how you found us?
12
Of course.
13
A family member used you last year and recommended you.
14
So I had a look at your website and,
15
well, that's why I'm calling now.
16
Okay.
17
So which property are you interested in?
18
The apartment on Statham Street,
19
the one on the third floor.
20
Uh-huh.
21
Let me
22
see um ah i'm afraid
23
that flats no longer available no no it went this morning
24
it's in a really popular part of town we do have a house on the same street
25
if you're interested it's nine hundred
26
and fifty pounds a month uh no i think that's much too expensive i think an apartment is all we can Oh,
27
so it's not just for you?
28
No, me and a friend.
29
We're both starting work in the town next month.
30
Oh, right, so it's two of you.
31
So, let's see.
32
Do you have any preferences in terms of location?
33
Both our jobs are in the town centre,
34
so it would be good to be within walking distance of that,
35
or perhaps a short bus journey away.
36
Neither of us have a car,
37
so we'd be relying on public transport.
38
Mm-hmm.
39
And what's your budget?
40
I'm sorry?
41
How much can you pay a month?
42
Let me see.
43
Uh...
44
700 pounds a month is probably our limit.
45
Each?
46
no
47
that would be for the both of us we wouldn't be able to pay more than 350 pounds each oh
48
and that would have to include bills not phone bills obviously
49
but things like electricity gas
50
and water mm-hmm okay well we do have a place in the Banton district
51
which is about 10 minutes by bus from town it's a two-bedroom apartment
52
and it's less than your budget at six hundred pounds a month the bills would be extra unfortunately
53
but that should still work out at less than seven hundred pounds although remember
54
that electricity and gas prices are going up all the time
55
so I can't guarantee that do you have an address I do the apartment number is three
56
and it's at fifty seven Thorny Lee's Road hang on let me just make a note of
57
that fifty seven Thorny Lee's Road Thorny is T H O O-R-N-E-Y
58
and Lees is L-E-Y-S and the district is called Bampton.
59
Do you have an email address?
60
Yes.
61
In that case, I can send you the details and then you can think about it.
62
And if you're interested, I could arrange for a visit so you can see the place for yourself.
63
How does that sound?
64
Oh, that would be really helpful.
65
It's Clarice underscore Willard at NT...

  • We're both starting work in the town next month.
  • Do you have any preferences in terms of location?
  • How much can you pay a month?

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 10 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, you're, can't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: electricity /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪsɪti/, unfortunately /ʌnˈfɔɹ.t͡ʃə.nɪt.li/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: pound /ˈpaʊ̯nd/, arrange /əˈɹeɪnd͡ʒ/, recommend /ˌɹɛkəˈmɛnd/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: guarantee /ˌɡæɹ.ənˈtiː/, transport /ˈtɹæns.pɔɹt/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als bedroom, guarantee, helpful.

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.
