Part 1.
2
You will hear a man phoning an aquatic centre inquiring about a part-time job as a lifeguard.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
5
Hello, North Bay Aquatic Centre.
6
Jane is speaking.
7
Oh, hello.
8
I'm calling to apply for a part-time lifeguard position.
9
Am I speaking to the right person?
10
Yes, you are.
11
We are currently recruiting lifeguards for two different positions.
12
But first, I'll have to jot down some of your personal information before we officially invite you for an interview.
13
Is that all right?
14
Sure, no problem.
15
May I have your name, please?
16
It's Peter, Peter Smith.
17
OK.
18
And what is your current address?
19
It's 130 South Main Street, Lake Elsinore.
20
I'm sorry, Elsinore?
21
Oh, it's E-L-S-I-N-O-R-E, Elsinore.
22
Right, got it.
23
What is your phone number?
24
My home phone number is 077-99-5362.
25
Actually, it's easier to reach me by my cell phone number.
26
It's 077-89-6245.
27
I'm mainly out these days.
28
Right.
29
Can you tell me about your work experience?
30
Well, I now work as a waiter.
31
And that's just a part-time gig.
32
It requires serving customers.
33
And I also have some cleaning duties.
34
Okay.
35
Do you have any other part-time job?
36
No, but I'm majoring in physical education right now.
37
I'm learning exercise physiology, sports nutrition and individual fitness activities,
38
and I want to become a baseball coach for a local high school.
39
So, do you have any other relevant work experience to a lifeguard position?
40
Oh, right.
41
I also worked part-time as a rescue diver for a local beach last summer.
42
I'm certified for open water rescue missions.
43
Excellent.
44
That's exactly what we're looking for.
45
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
46
Thank you.
47
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
48
Before we continue, I need to know a few more things to ensure
49
that you are qualified for maintaining water safety during work.
50
Okay, go ahead.
51
As a lifeguard, you will spend most of your time monitoring the area near the water and reducing risks to everyone here.
52
So we are looking for someone who can stay focused.
53
Do you have difficulties concentrating or any related disorders?
54
No, I don't have any medical disorders relating to that sort of problem.
55
We're also expecting someone with good eyesight,
56
because a lifeguard must be able to recognize and respond to any struggling swimmers quickly.
57
I have sharp vision.
58
I mean, both eyes are 20-10 without correction.
59
Good.
60
Do you have relevant skills in terms of lifeguarding?
61
I'm good at diving.
62
You know my previous job requires training in that.
63
We only need lifeguards with certification.
64
I assume you already have one, right?
65
Yes.
66
To get the certificate, I received training for waterfront lifeguarding two years ago.
67
The training includes things like providing first aid and emergency care.
68
But mine is about to expire in November.
69
Oh, wait, let me check.
70
It's a month earlier, in October.
71
Okay, you're good for now before it expires.
72
But if you want to work here for the whole year, you'll have to renew it.
73
I see.
74
What time do you prefer to work?
75
I already work part-time in a restaurant on weekdays, so I'd like to work on the weekend.
76
We already have enough people working here on Sundays.
77
I can work on Saturday mornings then.
78
Right.
79
And I can start from 6 o'clock in the morning.
80
I'm a morning person.
81
Sounds great.
82
Where did you hear about our recruitment information from?
83
I heard it on radio this morning while driving.
84
I wouldn't say I like reading newspapers.
85
Thank you for calling.
86
We'll notify you about the interview details in two days.
87
Thank you.
88
Bye.
89
Goodbye.
90
That is the end of part one.
91
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part one.
92
Thank you.
93
Thank you.
94
Thank you.
95
Thank you.

Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — iets dat nu of in deze periode gebeurt | is speaking · I'm calling · Am I speaking |
| Toekomst met “will” will + werkwoord — een besluit, belofte of voorspelling | will hear · I'll have · will spend |
| Verplichting: must / have to / need to zeggen dat iets nodig is | have to jot · need to know · have to renew |
Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 17 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, we're, don't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: correction /kəˈɹɛkʃən/, certification /ˌsɜː.tɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/, nutrition /njuːˈtɹɪʃ.ən/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: physiology /ˌfɪziˈɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/, certification /ˌsɜː.tɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/, certificate /səˈtɪf.ɪ.kɪt/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: lifeguard /ˈlaɪfˌɡɑɹd/, dive /daɪv/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: lifeguard /ˈlaɪfˌɡɑɹd/, goodbye /ɡʊdˈbaɪ/
- /w/ — met ronde lippen: aquatic /əˈkwɑ.tɪk/, inquire /ɪnˈkwaɪɹ/, weekday /ˈwiːkdeɪ̯/, waiter /ˈweɪ̯təː/, qualify /ˈkwɑ.lɪ.faɪ/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als lifeguard, expire, aquatic.
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.
