Test 1 You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
5
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
6
All the recordings will be played once only.
7
The test is in four sections.
8
At the end of the test, you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
9
Now turn to Section 1.
10
Section 1.
11
You will hear a telephone conversation between an official at a village hall
12
and a woman who wants to hire a public room.
13
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
14
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
15
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
16
Hello?
17
Oh, hello.
18
I wanted to enquire about hiring a room in the village
19
hall for the evening of September the 1st. Let me just see.
20
Err, yes, we have both rooms available that evening.
21
There's our main hall that's got seating for 200 people, or there's the Charlton room.
22
The main hall seats 200, so 200 has been written in the space.
23
Now we shall begin.
24
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
25
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
26
Hello?
27
Oh, hello.
28
I wanted to inquire about hiring a room in the village hall for the evening of September the 1st.
29
Let me just see.
30
Yes, we have both rooms available that evening.
31
There's our main hall.
32
That's got seating for 200 people.
33
Or there's the Charlton room.
34
Sorry?
35
The Charlton room.
36
C-H-A-R-L-T-O-N.
37
That's got seating for up to 100.
38
Well, we're organising a dinner to raise money for a charity, and we're hoping for at least 150 people.
39
So, I think we'll go for the main hall.
40
How much would that cost?
41
Let's see.
42
You wanted it for the evening of September the 1st?
43
Yes, that's a Saturday.
44
So, from 6pm to midnight, that'd be £115.
45
That's the weekend price.
46
It's £75 on weekdays.
47
That's all right.
48
And I have to tell you, there's also a deposit of £250, which is returnable, of course, as long as there's no damage.
49
But we do insist that this is paid in cash.
50
We don't take cards for that.
51
You can pay the actual rent of the room however you like, though.
52
Cash, credit card, cheque.
53
Oh, well, I suppose that's OK.
54
So, does the charge include use of tables and chairs and so on?
55
Oh, yes.
56
And what about parking?
57
Yeah, that's all included.
58
The only thing that isn't included is.. you said you were organising a dinner?
59
Yeah.
60
Well, you'll have to pay extra for the kitchen if you want to use that.
61
It's £25.
62
It's It's got very good facilities, good quality cookers and fridges and so on.
63
OK.
64
Well, I suppose that's all right.
65
We can cover the cost in our entry charges.
66
Right.
67
So I'll make a note of that.
68
Now, there are just one or two things you need to think about before the event.
69
For example, you'll have to see about getting a licence if you're planning to have any music during the meal.
70
Oh, really?
71
It's quite straightforward.
72
I'll give you the details later on.
73
And about a week or ten days before your event, you'll need to contact the caretaker,
74
that's Mr Evans, to make the arrangements for entry.
75
He'll sort that out with you.
76
And do I give him the payment as well?
77
No, you do that directly with me.
78
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
79
Now listen and answer questions seven to ten.
80
Right.
81
Now, is there anything I need to know about what happens during the event?
82
Well, as you'll be aware, of course, the building is no smoking throughout. Of course.
83
Now, are you having a band?
84
Yes.
85
Well, they'll have a lot of equipment, so rather than using the front door, they should park their van round the back and use the stage door there.
86
You can open that from inside, but don't forget to lock it at the end.
87
OK.
88
And talking of bans, I'm sure I don't need to tell you this,
89
but you must make sure that no one fiddles about with the black box by the fire door.
90
That's a system that cuts in when the volume reaches a certain level.
91
It's a legal requirement.
92
Sure.
93
Anyway, we want people to be able to talk to one another, so we don't want anything too loud.
94
Oh, that reminds me.
95
We'll be having speeches.
96
Are there any microphones available?
97
Yep.
98
Just let the caretaker know.
99
He'll get those for you.
100
Right.
101
Now, when the event is over, we do ask that the premises are left in good condition.
102
So, there's a locked cupboard and you'll be informed of the code you need to open that.
103
It's got all the cleaning equipment, brushes and detergent and so on.
104
Right.
105
So what do we need to do after everyone's gone?
106
Sweep the floors, I suppose?
107
Well, actually they have to be washed, not just swept.
108
Then you'll be provided with black plastic bags, so all the rubbish must be collected up and left outside the door. Of course.
109
We'll make sure everything's left tidy.
110
Oh, and I forgot to ask.
111
I presume we can have decorations in the room?
112
Yes, but you must take them down afterwards.
113
Sure.
114
And the chairs and tables should be stacked up neatly at the back of the room.
115
I'll make sure I've got a few people to help me.
116
That is the end of section one.
117
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
118
Now turn to section 2.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
