1
Hey Jenny!
2
Oh, hi Steve.
3
Nice to see you.
4
Good to see you too.
5
How's it going?
6
Fine, thanks.
7
I'm so glad the exams have finished.
8
Me too.
9
So, are you going on holiday this summer?
10
Yes.
11
I've decided to go to Mexico for the whole summer vacation, six weeks in total.
12
That sounds great.
13
What are you going to do there?
14
Well, actually, it's a working holiday.
15
I'm going to work at a school teaching English to children.
16
What about you?
17
I'm going to Paris for two weeks.
18
Are you going with your family?
19
No, I'm going with my best friend.
20
We've enrolled in a language school to study French.
21
That sounds like fun.
22
Have a good trip.
23
You too.
24
Track two.
25
Good afternoon, Royal Mount Hotel.
26
How may I help you?
27
Hello.
28
I'd like to book a twin room, please, for next week.
29
One minute, please.
30
I'll just check if we have one available.
31
Yes, we do, sir.
32
Now, I just need to take down a few details, if I may.
33
Yes, of course.
34
What name is the booking under?
35
My name?
36
Duncan Jeffrey.
37
That's G-E-O-F-R-E-Y.
38
G-E-O-F-R-E-Y.
39
And could I have a contact telephone number, please?
40
Yes.
41
5762-238-21.
42
When will you be arriving, sir?
43
Sometime on the evening of the 19th. Of September?
44
Yes, and we'll be leaving on the 23rd.
45
How much will that be in total?
46
So, that's a twin room.
47
For a twin, it would normally be £235, but I can give you a special rate as it's low season.
48
£210 for the six nights.
49
Great, thank you.
50
And how would you like to pay, sir?
51
We accept cash, cheque or credit card.
52
I'll pay cash on arrival, if that's OK.
53
Of course, sir.
54
We look forward to seeing you.
55
Track 3 So, what are the differences between these four hotels?
56
Well, the main difference is in the facilities they offer.
57
The Hotel Sunshine is the only one which has a gym, and it's also got one of the top health spas in the area.
58
It's next to a lake, so you can do water sports there.
59
But if you really like sailing or water skiing, then the Highland Hotel would probably be the best place because it offers great instruction programs in these sports.
60
Actually, I'm not a sporty person.
61
OK.
62
Erm, well, what about the Hotel Carminia?
63
It's a brand new hotel and it prides itself on its cinema and multimedia centre.
64
And then there's the Royal.
65
This one has a conference room, a meeting room and free computer access.
66
But it's not really appropriate for children.
67
There's not much in the way of entertainment.
68
Well, I'm going on holiday, not to work, and it's just my wife and me.
69
So I think we'll book with the Hotel Carminia, please.
70
Track four.
71
So, there's a great walking tour tomorrow morning.
72
Or tomorrow night we could go on the cruise round the harbour.
73
What do you think, John?
74
Well, we've got theatre tickets for tonight, so we'll be too tired for the walking tour in the morning.
75
But I don't fancy the cruise either.
76
Why not?
77
It'll be fun.
78
Look, it's a dinner cruise and it's only $12 each.
79
I hate the sea and I'll be sick with fear if the waves are big. And dinner?
80
On a boat?
81
I just couldn't.
82
But we'll be in the harbour.
83
Still.
84
Ah, what about this?
85
There's a bus tour tomorrow evening.
86
It's only $5.50 and it goes all around the main tourist sites.
87
Yeah, that sounds OK, but I'd much rather...
88
Track 5 Where shall we eat tonight?
89
Well, there are plenty of options.
90
The guide says this city has hundreds of restaurants.
91
What kind of food would you like to have, John?
92
Well, I quite like seafood.
93
There's the captain's table on Firth Street.
94
The guide gives it four stars.
95
Hmm, I don't know.
96
The hotel receptionist told me the service is slow.
97
But if you like seafood, there are a couple more places in the guide.
98
Ah, yes.
99
Mangin's or Joe's Cafe.
100
What about those, Sam?
101
Mangans could be a good option.
102
It's nicer than Joe's Cafe, and there are fantastic views as well.
103
We'd probably pay a bit extra.
104
Joe's Cafe is much cheaper.
105
But we're on holiday.
106
I think we should splash out.
107
That sounds great.
108
Oh, no. Hold on, it's closed tonight.
109
What a shame.
110
Shall we go to Joe's Cafe, then?
111
Yes, I suppose we'll have to.
112
I'll give them a call and book a table.
113
Can I use your phone?
114
Er, no. Sorry.
115
I've left my phone in the hotel.
116
We can ask the receptionist to do it.
117
Let's go back now and sort it out.
118
We can get changed and have a drink before dinner if you like.
119
OK.
120
Good idea.
121
Track 6 Section 1 You will hear a tourist asking for information at a tourist office.
122
First, you will have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
123
In the exam, there will be a pause of 20 seconds.
124
You will see that there is an example which has been done for you.
125
On this occasion only, the conversation related to this will be played first.
126
Hello, how can I help you?
127
Erm, hello.
128
Is it possible to book a bus tour of the city here?
129
Of course, sir.
130
When would you like to take the tour?
131
There are tours in the morning, afternoon and evening.
132
Sometimes it's nice to see the city at night with the buildings lit up.
133
We'll be going out for dinner tonight, so we'd prefer to go this afternoon.
134
Oh, and it's for two people.
135
The tourist says that the tour is for two people, so the number of passengers has been written in the notes as two.
136
Now we shall begin.
137
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
138
Listen carefully and answer questions one to four.
139
Hello, how can I help you?
140
Er, hello.
141
Is it possible to book a bus tour of the city here?
142
Of course, sir.
143
When would you like to take the tour?
144
There are tours in the morning, afternoon and evening.
145
Sometimes it's nice to see the city at night with the buildings lit up.
146
We'll be going out for dinner tonight, so we'd prefer to go this afternoon.
147
Oh, and it's for two people.
148
Right.
149
Now, I just need some details.
150
Can you give me the names of the two people, please?
151
Yes, Susan Field and James Carter.
152
Susan Field and James… sorry, can you spell your surname for me please?
153
It's Carter.
154
C-A-R-T-E-R.
155
Thank you.
156
And can I have a contact telephone number?
157
Why do you need one?
158
Just in case we have to cancel the tour and need to contact you.
159
I see.
160
Well, my mobile number is 07988 636 197.
161
That's 07988 636197.
162
Now, can you also tell me which hotel you're staying at?
163
The Crest Hotel.
164
Oh, er, no, sorry.
165
That's the hotel we're staying in next week.
166
It's the Riverside Hotel.
167
Oh, the Riverside is a lovely hotel.
168
Are you enjoying your stay?
169
Yes, we are, very much.
170
We'd definitely recommend it to others.
171
Oh, I am glad.
172
Now, I can book you on the tour at 4pm.
173
Would that suit you?
174
Alternatively, there is one at two.
175
Two would be better for us, please.
176
Right.
177
That's booked for you, sir.
178
Two people at 2pm today, August the 14th.
179
You pay the bus driver when you get on, and it's £4 per person.
180
Thank you very much.
181
Track 7 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
182
In the exam, there will be a pause of 20 seconds.
183
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
184
Can I also ask you about the museum in the main square?
185
I was reading about it in my guidebook and was shocked to see that the entrance price is £10.
186
Why does it cost so much?
187
Well, the museum has the largest collection of Latin American art in Europe.
188
People come from all over the world to see it.
189
But that's not the reason why it's so expensive to get in.
190
You see, the building is very old and it needs repairs.
191
The £10 ticket cost will go towards repairing the roof and the walls.
192
I see.
193
Well, I suppose it's worth paying ten pounds to see the collection.
194
Yes, I think so too.
195
Is there anything else I can help you with?
196
Actually, there is.
197
I was wondering if you knew of any good restaurants in the area?
198
Well, there are a few restaurants near the harbour and a couple on the beach, which are nice.
199
The problem is that the smell of the fish market is quite strong down there.
200
Hmm, I don't think my girlfriend would be very pleased.
201
I know what you mean.
202
It's not very romantic, is it?
203
My advice would be to go to the next town.
204
It's bigger and the restaurant selection is wider.
205
You can get there by taxi and it only takes about ten minutes.
206
The town is quite picturesque.
207
Is it for a special occasion?
208
Yes, it's my girlfriend's birthday, so I'd like to go somewhere special.
209
Do you know any of these restaurants well enough to tell me about them?
210
Well, I know about a few of them and there are pictures in this leaflet here.
211
Oh, this one here is lovely.
212
The Belle View and it's extremely popular.
213
It has a famous chef, so it's not cheap, but the standard of the food is very high.
214
It's right by the sea and there are wonderful views if you get a good table.
215
Then there's the Lighthouse Cafe.
216
You can see the picture here, which isn't really a cafe at all.
217
In fact, it's a great restaurant and a lot of TV celebrities and actors eat there.
218
The place has been going for over a hundred years.
219
It's quite an institution around here.
220
I'm not sure about those two.
221
They sound too expensive to me.
222
I was thinking of somewhere small, not too upmarket, but with good food.
223
In that case, what about Harvey's?
224
The same family has run this restaurant for over a century and it's reasonably priced and really popular with local people.
225
Oh, and there's another family-run restaurant, Stonecroft House.
226
New owners took over a month ago and they're getting good reviews.
227
There's a new chef there and the food is meant to be very good.
228
This leaflet has the contact details for all the restaurants, so you can just call them if you'd like to book a table.
229
Great, thanks.
230
You've been very helpful.
231
That is the end of section one.
232
You now have half a minute to check your answers.

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.
