IELTS 16, Part 1.
2
You will hear a man phoning to find out about some children's engineering workshops.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 3.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 3.
5
Hello, children's engineering workshops.
6
Oh, hello.
7
I wanted some information about the workshops in the school holidays.
8
Sure.
9
I have two daughters who are interested.
10
The younger one's Lydia.
11
She's four.
12
Do you take children as young as that?
13
Yes.
14
Our tiny engineers' workshop is for four to five-year-olds.
15
What sorts of activities do they do?
16
All sorts.
17
For example, they work together to design a special cover that goes round an egg, so that when it's inside,
18
they can drop it from a height and it doesn't break.
19
Well, sometimes it does break, but that's part of the fun.
20
Right.
21
And Lydia loves building things.
22
Is there any opportunity for her to do that?
23
Well, they have a competition to see who can make the highest tower.
24
You'd be amazed how high they can go.
25
Right.
26
But they're learning all the time as well as having fun.
27
For example, one thing they do is to design and build a car that's attached to a balloon
28
and the force of the air in that actually powers the car and makes it move along.
29
They go really fast too.
30
OK, well, all this sounds perfect.
31
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 4 to 10.
32
Now listen and answer questions 4 to 10.
33
Now Carly, that's my older daughter, has just had her seventh birthday.
34
So presumably she'd be in a different group?
35
Yes, she'd be in the junior engineers.
36
That's for children from six to eight.
37
And do they do the same sorts of activities?
38
Some are the same, but a bit more advanced.
39
So they work out how to build model vehicles, things like cars and trucks,
40
but also how to construct animals using the same sorts of material and technique.
41
And then they learn how they can program them and make them move.
42
So they learn a bit of coding?
43
They do.
44
They pick it up really quickly.
45
We're there to help if they need it, but they learn from one another too.
46
Right.
47
And do they have competitions too yes with the junior engineers it's to use recycled materials like card
48
and wood to build a bridge and the longest one gets a prize
49
that sounds fun i wouldn't mind doing that myself
50
then they have something a bit different
51
which is to think up an idea for a five minute movie
52
and then film it using special animation software you'd be amazed what they come up with
53
and of course that's something they can put on their phone and take home to show all their friends
54
exactly and then they also build a robot in the shape of a human
55
and they decorate it and program it so
56
that it can move its arms and legs perfect so is it the same price as the tiny engineers?
57
it's just a bit more, £50 for the five weeks And are the classes on a Monday too?
58
There used to be, but we found it didn't give our staff enough time to clear up after the first workshop
59
So we moved them to Wednesdays The classes are held in the morning from 10 to 11 OK,
60
that's better for me actually And what about the location?
61
Where exactly are the workshops held?
62
They're in building 10A.
63
There's a big sign on the door.
64
You can't miss it.
65
And that's in Fradston Industrial Estate.
66
Sorry?
67
Fradston.
68
That's F-R-A-D-S-T-O-N-E.
69
And that's in Grassford, isn't it?
70
Yes, up past the station.
71
And will I have any parking problems there?
72
No, there's always plenty available.
73
So, would you like to enrol Lydia and Carly now?
74
OK.
75
So, can I have your full name and...

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.
