1
Cassette 1, side 2.
2
Practice test 2.
3
You will hear a number of different recordings, and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
4
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions, and you will have a chance to check your work.
5
All the recordings will be played once only.
6
The test is in four sections.
7
Write all your answers in the listening question booklet.
8
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
9
Now turn to section one of your question booklet.
10
Section one.
11
In this section, you will hear two overseas students, Kate and Lukey, being interviewed by a university counsellor.
12
First look at questions 1 to 5.
13
You will see that there is an example which has been done for you.
14
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to the example will be played first.
15
Hi there, Kate.
16
Come on in.
17
How are you today?
18
Fine, thanks.
19
Hi, Lukey.
20
How's things?
21
OK.
22
Well, as I explained on the phone, I'm a counsellor here at the Student Services section of the university.
23
And I'm interviewing overseas students to help me draw up a guide for new students.
24
So, I'd be grateful if you could tell me a little about your time since you've been here in Cambridge.
25
Right.
26
Now, Kate, let's start with you.
27
Okay.
28
This is your second semester, isn't it?
29
Could you tell us something about your first impressions of the town when you arrived?
30
Yeah.
31
Well, first of all, I was struck by how quiet it is here in the evening.
32
Kate's first impression of the town is that it is quiet in the evening, so quiet is the answer.
33
Now we shall begin.
34
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
35
Now listen to the first interview with Kate and complete the notes by filling in the numbered spaces 1 to 5.
36
Hi there, Kate.
37
Come on in.
38
How are you today?
39
Fine, thanks.
40
Hi, Lukey.
41
How's things?
42
Okay.
43
Well, as I explained on the phone, I'm a counsellor here at the Student Services section of the university.
44
And I'm interviewing overseas students to help me draw up a guide for new students.
45
So I'd be grateful if you could tell me a little about your time since you've been here in Cambridge.
46
Right.
47
Here.
48
Now, Kate, let's start with you.
49
Okay.
50
This is your second semester, isn't it?
51
Could you tell us something about your first impressions of the town when you arrived?
52
Yeah.
53
Well, first of all, I was struck by how quiet it is here in the evening.
54
Yeah.
55
I suppose Cambridge is a quiet place.
56
Where did you live when you first arrived?
57
Well, I went straight into student accommodation.
58
It was a kind of student hostel.
59
Ah, right.
60
So you didn't have to worry about doing your own cooking or anything like that?
61
No, but sometimes I wished I had.
62
The food at the hostel was awful.
63
Oh, dear.
64
But how were the other students?
65
To be honest, I haven't managed to make many friends, even though the place is full.
66
People seem to keep to themselves.
67
They're not really very friendly.
68
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
69
Well, what about the actual course?
70
You're studying...
71
I'm doing a master's by coursework in environmental studies.
72
Oh, right.
73
And how are you finding that?
74
Yeah, well, it's been pretty good, really.
75
I've enjoyed the course, but I feel there hasn't been enough contact with the lecturers.
76
They all seem to be incredibly busy.
77
The only chance I've really had to talk to them was on the field trip.
78
Well, that's no good.
79
Could anything be done to improve the course, in your opinion?
80
Well, I think it would be helpful to have meetings with lecturers on the course.
81
Say, once a fortnight, something like that.
82
Regular meetings.
83
Uh -huh.
84
Yes, that could certainly help.
85
Now, Kate, we'll come back to you in a minute, but I'd just like to ask Lukey some questions.
86
Before they continue the interview, look at questions six to ten.
87
As you listen to the rest of the interview, complete the notes.
88
Lukey, where are you from?
89
I am from Indonesia here.
90
And how did you find Cambridge when you first arrived?
91
Well, I like it here.
92
I think the city is very beautiful.
93
What about your accommodation?
94
Was that okay?
95
Yes, okay.
96
At first, I stayed with a family for three months.
97
They were very kind to me, but they had three young children, and I found it difficult to study.
98
Right, I see.
99
So after three months, I moved out, and now I live with two other students in a student house.
100
It's much cheaper and we like it there.
101
Good.
102
And what about your studies?
103
What are you studying?
104
I'm doing a Bachelor of Computing.
105
Computing, I see.
106
Apart from the language difficulties, if you can separate them, how have you found the course?
107
OK, but...
108
Yes, go on.
109
Well, the main difficulty for me is getting time on the computers in the computer room.
110
It's always busy, and this makes it very hard to do my practical work.
111
Yes, I'm sure it would.
112
Can you reserve time in the computer room?
113
No, you can't.
114
But it would certainly help if we could reserve computer time.
115
Yes, I'll look into that and see if something can't be done to improve things over there.
116
Now, let's go back to Kate.
117
That is the end of Section 1.
118
You now have half a minute to check your answers.

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.
