19
Hi.
20
I bought this phone about two weeks ago, and I'm already having trouble with the battery.
21
It barely lasts half a day, even though I'm not using it that much.
22
I'm sorry to hear that, Daniel.
23
Let me take a look.
24
When you say half a day, do you mean around four to five hours of use?
25
Yes, sometimes even less.
26
I charge it fully overnight, but by early afternoon, it's already down to 20%.
27
That does sound frustrating.
28
Can you tell me how you usually use your phone during the day?
29
Mostly calls, messages, and a bit of social media.
30
I don't really play games or watch long videos.
31
All right.
32
Have you noticed if the phone gets warm while you're using it, or even when it's just sitting idle?
33
Now that you mention it, yes.
34
It feels warm in my pocket sometimes.
35
That's helpful information.
36
A phone heating up can drain the battery faster.
37
Let me first check the battery health and usage settings.
38
Sure.
39
I was worried I might have bought a faulty phone.
40
Not necessarily.
41
Many new phones have background features that consume power without the user realizing it.
42
We'll go through everything step by step.
43
That's a relief.
44
I really like the phone otherwise.
45
Good to hear.
46
Let me unlock the settings and see what's running in the background.
47
Question 1.
48
What can be inferred about Daniel's main concern?
49
Question 2.
50
Why does Sophie ask about heat even when the phone is idle?
51
Question 3.
52
What assumption did Daniel initially make about the phone?
53
You will hear the second section of the conversation shortly.
54
okay Daniel I can see here
55
that several apps are running constantly in the background especially location services
56
and email syncing I didn't even know those were on all
57
the time most people don't for example your location is set to always on
58
which can drain the battery quite quickly so if turn
59
that off will it help yes definitely you can change it to only
60
while using the app that alone can improve battery life noticeably
61
that sounds easy enough is there anything else causing the problem
62
your screen brightness is also set very high the display is
63
one of the biggest battery consumers I keep it bright
64
because I use it outdoors a lot that makes sense
65
but you could try using adaptive brightness it adjusts automatically based on lighting conditions i didn't realize
66
that was an option it is
67
and it's quite effective also i see your phone is still
68
syncing old data from your previous device oh i transferred everything on the first day sometimes
69
that process continues for several days especially with photos
70
and cloud backups it should stop soon but it can temporarily affect battery performance
71
so the battery might improve on its own yes in many
72
cases it does however we can optimize these settings now to speed things up I'd appreciate
73
that I was really worried I'd need a replacement question for what can be inferred about Daniel's awareness of his phone settings
74
Question 5.
75
Why does Sophie not criticize Daniel's bright screen choice directly?
76
Question 6 What can be inferred about the data transfer process?
77
You will hear the third section of the conversation shortly.
78
i've adjusted the main settings
79
and closed unnecessary background apps let's also check for a software
80
update could outdated software affect the battery too absolutely updates often
81
include battery optimization fixes good news there is an update available should i install it now Yes, it will only take a few minutes.
82
After that, I recommend restarting the phone once a week to keep it running smoothly.
83
I usually never restart my phone.
84
Many people don't, but it helps clear temporary processes that drain power over time.
85
That's good to know.
86
Is there anything else I should avoid doing?
87
Try not to let the battery drop to zero too often, and avoid charging it overnight every day.
88
Short, regular charges are better.
89
I had no idea I was charging it the wrong way.
90
You're not alone.
91
Based on what I see, there's no defect in your battery.
92
That's a relief.
93
So I don't need a replacement?
94
Not at this stage.
95
I suggest you try these changes for a few days.
96
If the battery still drains unusually fast, come back and we'll run a deeper diagnostic.
97
That sounds fair.
98
Thank you for explaining everything so clearly.
99
You're welcome, Daniel.
100
I'm confident you'll notice an improvement very soon.
101
I hope so.
102
Thanks again for your help.
103
Question 7.
104
Why does Sophie recommend restarting the phone weekly?
105
Question 8.
106
What assumption does Sophie make when advising Daniel about charging habits?
107
You will hear a conversation followed by five questions.
108
Listen to each question.
109
You will hear the question only once.
110
Choose the best answer to each question.
111
Hey Liam, got a sec?
112
I want to talk about chores for the weekend.
113
Uh, yeah, sure mom.
114
What's up?
115
Okay, so we've got the living room to clean, kitchen to mop, trash to take out, and the garden could use some attention.
116
That's a lot for one person.
117
Yeah, that's a lot.
118
I mean, I can help, but how do you want to split it?
119
Well, I thought maybe you could handle the living room.
120
You're good at tidying up books and stuff, right?
121
Hmm, yeah, okay, I can do that.
122
But the kitchen, mopping is so annoying.
123
I know.
124
That's why I thought I'd take it.
125
How about this?
126
You do the living room, I do the kitchen, and we split the garden in trash.
127
Split the garden?
128
Really?
129
I thought that was all yours.
130
I mean, it's kind of not my thing.
131
Just a little bit.
132
You could pull the weeds near the porch, and I'll do the rest.
133
It's quick, I promise.
134
Alright, fine.
135
And the trash?
136
Saturday morning, you take the bins out.
137
I'll help if they're heavy.
138
Okay, so living room, porch garden, and trash bins for me, kitchen, and rest of the garden for you.
139
Exactly.
140
Oh, and we could make it fun, play some music while cleaning?
141
Yes, definitely.
142
Pop, rock, something uppy.
143
Sure, pop and rock, and we can take breaks, grab a snack or something.
144
Snacks are good motivation.
145
What about Sunday?
146
Same chores or different?
147
Maybe we switch it up a bit.
148
You can help me in the kitchen for a little, and I can do some of the living room.
149
Keeps it from getting boring.
150
Yeah, I don't mind helping in the kitchen for a bit, and I can try organizing some of your books, too.
151
That's perfect.
152
Thanks, Liam.
153
Makes everything easier.
154
It's okay, Mom.
155
I know you do a lot already.
156
Plus, music and snacks make it kind of fun.
157
Glad you think so.
158
So, Saturday plan, living room, small garden, trash for you, kitchen, and rest of garden for me.
159
Sunday, swap some tasks, music and snacks included.
160
Sounds perfect.
161
Maybe we can even sneak in some video games after.
162
That's the spirit.
163
All right, let's stick to this plan and see how it goes.
164
Yeah, let's do it.
165
Shouldn't be too bad with music and snacks.

178
Good morning, ma 'am.
179
Welcome to Greenfield Bank.
180
My name is Michael Anderson and I'm a customer service advisor here.
181
How may I help you today?
182
Good morning.
183
Thank you.
184
I recently received a letter from the bank informing me that one of my savings accounts has become dormant.
185
I'd like to understand what that means and what steps I can take, including closing the account if necessary.
186
Of course, Ms. Mitchell.
187
A dormant account is one that hasn't had any customer -initiated activity, such as deposits, withdrawals, or transfers for an extended period,
188
usually over two years.
189
According to our system, your savings account has not been used for almost three years.
190
I wasn't aware of that.
191
I opened the account several years ago but stopped using it after relocating for work.
192
Are there any problems with keeping a dormant account open?
193
There are no immediate penalties but once an account becomes dormant certain services are restricted for security reasons.
194
For example, online banking access is suspended and in some cases maintenance fees may apply depending on the account type.
195
That's why we encourage customers to either reactivate
196
or close dormant accounts i understand what options do i have
197
now you have three options first you can reactivate the account by completing identity verification
198
and making a transaction second you can transfer the remaining balance to another active account third
199
if you no longer need the account you may choose to
200
close it permanently i already have an active savings account with this bank so i don't think I need this one anymore.
201
How much money is currently in the dormant account?
202
Let me check that for you.
203
The current balance is 2 ,800 rupees, including accumulated interest.
204
All right.
205
If I decide to close the account, will the balance be transferred automatically?
206
Yes.
207
Once the closure request is approved, the remaining balance can be transferred to your active account
208
or issued as a check depending on your preference i'd prefer
209
the balance be transferred to my active account what documents will
210
i need you'll need a valid photo id such as a passport
211
or driving license along with proof of address
212
because the account is dormant we'll also need to complete signature verification
213
that shouldn't be a problem can the account be closed today we can submit the request today
214
but the closure process usually takes three to five working days
215
during this time the account will remain inactive that's fine are
216
there any charges for closing the account no there are no
217
charges for closing a dormant savings account there are also no outstanding fees on your account great please go ahead
218
and close the account certainly I'll prepare the closure form now.
219
Please review the information and sign where indicated.
220
You'll receive confirmation once the account is officially closed.
221
Thank you for your help.
222
You're welcome, Ms. Mitchell.
223
Thank you for banking with us and have a wonderful day.
224

240
In recent months, several major cities have reported a significant rise in theft and petty crime in popular shopping districts.
241
Local authorities and law enforcement agencies are expressing growing concern as more cases of shoplifting,
242
pickpocketing, and purse snatching are being reported across both large shopping malls and high street retail areas.
243
The surge in these incidents appears to be affecting not only large department stores, but also small independent shops,
244
causing distress among business owners and shoppers alike.
245
According to the police, the increase in thefts has been most noticeable during weekends and holiday seasons when shopping districts are crowded.
246
Officers have pointed out that thieves often take advantage of busy shopping periods
247
when crowds make it easier to steal items without being noticed.
248
Security experts have also highlighted
249
that many of these thefts are carried out by organized groups who use coordinated tactics to distract staff and bypass surveillance systems.
250
Business owners have reported experiencing a range of challenges due to this rise in criminal activity.
251
Some have noticed that the frequency of shoplifting incidents has forced them to increase staffing in stores, invest in additional security cameras,
252
and implement new inventory management systems to prevent losses.
253
Many shopkeepers have expressed frustration at the financial impact, noting that stolen merchandise not only causes immediate monetary losses,
254
but also increases insurance costs and affects overall business confidence.
255
Shoppers, too, have begun to feel the effects of the situation.
256
Many people report feeling uneasy while visiting crowded shopping areas, particularly in the evening or during peak hours.
257
Some have stated that they are now more cautious with their belongings, keeping wallets, handbags, and personal items more securely,
258
while others admit to avoiding certain streets or shopping centers entirely.
259
Local authorities emphasize that public awareness and vigilance are key in combating these thefts,
260
encouraging shoppers to remain alert and report any suspicious activity immediately.
261
Law enforcement agencies are taking several steps to address the problem.
262
Increased police patrols in busy shopping districts are being implemented,
263
alongside undercover operations aimed at identifying repeat offenders and organized theft networks.
264
Additionally, police departments are collaborating with store management
265
and security personnel to share information
266
and improve coordination some cities have launched public awareness campaigns
267
that provide tips for preventing theft and educating both shop owners
268
and the public about common tactics used by thieves experts suggest
269
that technology is also playing an important role in reducing incidents
270
advanced security systems including CCTV with facial recognition smart alarms and electronic tagging of merchandise are becoming more widespread,
271
retailers are increasingly turning to these tools to deter potential thieves and assist in quickly identifying those who commit theft.

273

279
Hey, morning, Sarah, Jenny.
280
Another day, another rest drop -off.
281
Oh, absolutely.
282
You'd think we'd have a routine by now, but my son took 20 minutes just to pick socks today.
283
That's nothing, my daughter insisted on watching one more episode of that animated science show.
284
I gave in, and now we were five minutes late.
285
Speaking of which, how are you two managing screen time at home?
286
i feel like the tablet is glued to my son's hands
287
it's such a struggle i tried limiting it to weekends but
288
that backfired he ends up binging on saturday and sunday then grumpy all week
289
oh we've gone the other route strict one hour per day rule but enforcing it
290
that's the real issue she hides the ipad and sneaks it under her blanket at night
291
really that's crafty we tried using one of those parental control apps what's it called
292
screen wise
293
but my son figured out how to override it in a
294
day my wife says we should just lead by example
295
and cut our own screen time first i'm not entirely convinced that works though I mean,
296
it sounds ideal, but I work from home on my laptop.
297
He sees me online all day and assumes it's the same as his games.
298
Exactly.
299
It's hard to draw that line.
300
We did try Screen Free Wednesdays once.
301
It sort of worked until my husband forgot and put on the news during dinner.
302
That opened the floodgates. That sounds familiar.
303
I keep hearing about families doing tech -free zones in the house, like no devices in bedrooms or at the table.
304
We tried the dining room rule.
305
It worked for a while, but then school started giving online homework, and that totally blurred the line again.
306
You know what's ironic?
307
My daughter watches YouTube videos about kids playing outside, then refuses to go play outside herself.
308
That's modern parenting for you.
309
Maybe we should all just switch back to flip phones and VHS tapes.
310
Tempting.
311
Or maybe we just accept that screens are part of life now and teach them moderation instead of restriction.
312
Easier said than done.
313
But I guess it's about balance, if we ever find what that means.
314
Thank you.
315
Thank you.
316

317

318

319
You will hear a report once.

It is about 3 minutes long.

323
Rotational job roles in companies are increasingly seen as a strategic approach to enhance employee skills and foster overall professional growth.
324
In many organizations, employees are given the opportunity to work in different departments
325
or take on varied roles within the company over a specified period.
326
This approach allows them to gain exposure to multiple facets of the business rather than being confined to a single position.
327
The viewpoint presented emphasizes that such rotations are not merely about changing job titles,
328
but rather about building a diverse skill set that can benefit both the employee and the organization.
329
One key argument is that rotational rules provide employees with a deeper understanding of how the organization operates as a whole,
330
By experiencing different functions, such as marketing, finance, operations, or human resources,
331
individuals can connect their day -to -day responsibilities with the company's larger goals.
332
This broader perspective helps employees make more informed decisions and encourages innovative thinking.
333
It also enables them to recognize interdependencies between departments, leading to more effective collaboration across teams.
334
Employees who have a comprehensive view of the organization are often better equipped to identify problems, propose solutions, and contribute to strategic planning.
335
Another point raised is the impact of rotational roles on skill development.
336
Employees gain both technical and soft skills through exposure to various job functions. For example,
337
someone who rotates from a technical team to a client -facing role might develop communication
338
and negotiation skills in addition to enhancing their technical expertise.
339
Similarly, rotating into management or leadership roles allows employees to cultivate skills in decision -making, team management, and project coordination.
340
These experiences create a more versatile workforce where employees are capable of handling multiple responsibilities
341
and adapting to new challenges with greater ease.
342
The presentation also highlights the motivational benefits of rotational roles.
343
Employees often find that moving between between different roles keeps work engaging and reduces monotony.
344
This variety can prevent burnout and increase job satisfaction, which in turn can lead to higher retention rates.
345
Furthermore, rotational programs demonstrate an organization's investment in employee growth, showing staff that their career development is valued.
346
This sense of recognition and opportunity can encourage employees to take initiative, learn proactively, and embrace continuous professional development.
347
In addition, the viewpoint mentions that rotational roles support succession planning and talent management.
348
By allowing employees to experience multiple positions, companies can better assess their capabilities and identify potential leaders.
349
Employees who have successfully rotated through various functions often develop a well -rounded skill set
350
that makes them strong candidates for higher -level positions.
351
It also allows companies to build internal pipelines of talent, rather than relying solely on external recruitment for critical roles.

Who Will Benefit from This Video?
If you’re prepping for the CELPIP test or just want to boost your English listening and speaking skills, this video is a goldmine. It’s perfect for intermediate learners ready to practice real-world conversations—think everyday chats about exams and phone troubles. The mix of casual dialogue and test-style questions helps you get comfortable with both understanding context and answering quickly, making it ideal for anyone using learn english with videos to level up.
Words & Idioms Worth Stealing
The video is packed with handy phrases to add to your toolkit. Here are a few standouts:
- "fly past in a wink": Time goes by really fast. Example: "The weekend flew past in a wink!"
- "cram things in your brain": Study a lot quickly. Example: "I need to cram for my math test tomorrow."
- "faulty phone": A phone that doesn’t work right. Example: "The store replaced my faulty phone with a new one."
These phrases sound natural in daily talk, so try using them in your next conversation!
How to Get the Accent Right (and Practice Shadowing!)
The speakers in the video use clear, conversational English—perfect for shadowing technique practice. Here’s how to nail it: Pause the video after short lines, then repeat them aloud, matching the speed and tone. Notice how the speaker says "Yeah, but three days will fly past in a wink" with a slight stress on "fly past" to show urgency. For the phone conversation, focus on the natural rhythm of questions like "When you say half a day, do you mean around four to five hours of use?"—the rise in pitch at the end makes it sound friendly, not confrontational. Shadow speech (or shadowspeak) helps you mimic these nuances, making your English sound more fluent. Keep practicing, and you’ll soon notice your pronunciation and confidence soar!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | Have you noticed · i've adjusted · has become |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | will be played · can be inferred · is set |
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | those who commit · someone who rotates |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
