1
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
2
OK, Group B, your turn.
3
Does everyone have a copy of the plan?
4
Oh, great, OK.
5
We'll all be meeting in the car park.
6
That's on the bottom of the plan, see?
7
Now, if you've been assigned to the vegetable beds,
8
to get there you go out of the car park and go up the footpath until you reach the circle of trees.
9
There they are, in the middle of the plan.
10
And you see that the footpath goes all the way around them.
11
Well, on the left-hand side of that circular footpath,
12
there's a short track which takes you directly to the vegetable beds.
13
You can see a bamboo fence marked just above them.
14
Alright?
15
OK, if you're helping out with the beehives, pay attention.
16
Look again at the circle of trees in the middle of the plan and the footpath that goes around them.
17
On the right side of that circle, you can see that the footpath goes off in an easterly direction,
18
heading towards the right-hand side of the plan.
19
And then the path splits into two and you can either go up or down.
20
You want the path that heads down.
21
And at the end of this you see two areas divided by a bamboo fence.
22
And as we're looking at the plan, the beehives are on the right of the fence.
23
The smaller section, I mean.
24
Now don't worry, all the bees have been removed.
25
You just need to transport the hives back to the car park.
26
OK, for the seating, look at the circular footpath.
27
At the top of it, there's a path that goes from there and takes you up to the seating area,
28
alongside the bicycle track, and with a good view of the island, I suppose.
29
OK, if you're volunteering for the adventure playground area,
30
let's start from the car park again and go up the footpath but then you want the first left turn.
31
Go up there and then you see there's a short path that goes off to the right.
32
Go down there and that's the adventure playground area above the bamboo fence.
33
That fence does need repairing, I'm afraid.
34
Right, what else?
35
Oh yes, the sand area.
36
We've got that circular footpath in the middle.
37
Find the track that goes east towards the right-hand side of the plan
38
and where that track divides you need the little path that goes up towards the bicycle track.
39
The sand area is just above the bamboo fence there.
40
And finally, the pond area.
41
So it's on the left-hand side of your plan,
42
towards the top, just above the fruit bushes and to the left of the little path.
43
OK, as I said already, hopefully we'll be...
44
Thank you.

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.
