Test 3 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 ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
9
Now turn to section one.
10
Section 1.
11
You will hear a conversation between a student and a job advisor.
12
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
13
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
14
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
15
Good morning.
16
Oh, good morning.
17
Is this, uh, uh, room number 26?
18
Yes, that's right.
19
So, is this the Student Job Centre?
20
It certainly is.
21
How can I help you?
22
Well, actually, I'm looking for a job, a part-time job.
23
Do you have anything available at the moment?
24
The student is looking for a part-time job, so part-time has been written in the space.
25
Now we shall begin.
26
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
27
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
28
Good morning.
29
Oh, good morning.
30
Is this room number 26?
31
Yes, that's right.
32
So, is this the student job centre?
33
It certainly is.
34
How can I help you?
35
Well, actually, I'm looking for a job, a part-time job.
36
Do you have anything available at the moment?
37
Er, yes.
38
Are you a registered student?
39
I'm afraid this service is only available to full-time students.
40
Yes, I am.
41
I'm doing a degree in business studies.
42
Here's my student card.
43
Which year are you in?
44
Well, I've been at uni for four years, but I'm in the third year because I took last year off.
45
Right.
46
Well, let's just have a look at what positions are available at the moment.
47
There's a job working at the reception desk at the sports centre for three evenings a week.
48
That's Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
49
That sounds like fun, but unfortunately I have evening lectures, so that's not possible, I'm afraid.
50
Is there anything during the day?
51
OK, that's no good then.
52
What about cleaning?
53
There's a position for a cleaner at the childcare centre.
54
Right.
55
But you'd need to be there at 6am.
56
Does that appeal?
57
Six o'clock in the morning?
58
Oh, that's far too early for me, I'm afraid.
59
I'd never make it that early in the morning.
60
Hmm.
61
Well, there was a position going in the computer lab for three days a week that might be OK.
62
Ah, here it is.
63
No, it's in the library, not the lab.
64
A clerical assistant required.
65
I think it mostly involves putting the books back on the shelves.
66
Oh, no, hang on.
67
It's for Wednesday and Friday evenings again.
68
No, I can't manage that because of the lectures.
69
OK, I'm getting the idea.
70
Look, I'll just get a few details from you anyway, and then we can check through the list and see what comes up.
71
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
72
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
73
We'll fill in the personal details on this application form first, if that's OK.
74
Yeah, that's fine.
75
Now, what's your name again?
76
Anita Newman.
77
That's N-E-W-M-A-N.
78
And your address, Anita?
79
I'm in one of the halls of residence for postgraduate students.
80
You know, International House.
81
OK, that's easy.
82
What's your room number there?
83
Room B569.
84
No, sorry, B659.
85
I always get that wrong.
86
I haven't been living there very long.
87
Do you have any other skills?
88
Typing languages, that sort of thing?
89
Well, I speak some Japanese.
90
Right.
91
I'll make a note of that.
92
Now, let's see what else is available.
93
What do you think of administrative work?
94
There's a position for an office assistant at the English Language Centre.
95
Oh, that sounds interesting.
96
It's for three days a week, Monday, Friday and Saturday mornings.
97
Interested?
98
Oh, I was hoping to have Saturdays free, but I need the work, so...
99
Mm-hm.
100
Can you tell me what the job involves?
101
Yeah, sure.
102
It says here that you'll be required to deal with student inquiries and answer the phone.
103
Oh, I'm sure I can handle all that without a problem.
104
Great.
105
Well, would you like me to arrange an interview for you, say, Friday morning, around ten?
106
Oh, er, can we make it a bit later?
107
Unfortunately, I've got something to do at ten.
108
Would that be OK?
109
Not a problem.
110
How about 11.30?
111
Hope it works out for you, Anita.
112
Me too.
113
And thanks for all your help.
114
That is the end of Section 1.
115
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
116
Now turn to section 2.
117
Section 2.
118
You will hear a talk given by a group offering a walking holiday to raise money for charity.
119
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
120
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
121
Good morning.
122
I'm very pleased to have been invited along to your club to talk about our charity-sponsored walking holiday for education aid.
123
I'll start by giving you a brief overview of what it entails.
124
First of all, let me explain what we mean by sponsored here.
125
This is where people promise to donate money to the charity if you achieve your goal, in this case to walk a certain number of miles.
126
Basically, we are organising a 10-day holiday from the 6th to the 16th of November, with 8 days actual walking, trekking in the Samira Mountains.
127
Let's have a look at some of the details.
128
We require you to raise sponsorship money of at least $3,200, paying $250 of it up front as a deposit,
129
and the rest in stages throughout the year.
130
Out of this, about 35% will go on your expenses, and that leaves 65% guaranteed to go to the charity.
131
Which brings me to the most important part.
132
This trek is being specifically organised to help education in the Samira region.
133
Last year we helped train teachers for the disabled, and this year we're focusing on the pupils.
134
Each of the walkers' sponsorship money will go to help an individual special needs pupil in one of the mountain schools.
135
In the second part of the talk, I'll be giving you a lot more details.
136
But back to the basic information.
137
Age limits.
138
This is the second time we've run this kind of holiday, and on the first we even had an 80-year-old,
139
but we found it was wise to establish limits this time.
140
You have to be at least 18, and the top limit is now 70, though you need to obtain a health certificate from your doctor if you are over 60 years old.
141
Now, the Samira Mountains are among the highest in the world, but you mustn't be too daunted.
142
We will mainly be trekking in the foothills only, although there will be spectacular views even in the foothills.
143
However, you will need to be extremely fit, if you aren't now and you're interested in coming with us.
144
You have plenty of time to get into shape.
145
You'll be sleeping in tents, so you must have quite a bit of equipment with you, but you will be helped by local assistance.
146
Your bedding and so forth will be carried by them.
147
We ask that you only walk with a small rucksack with needs for the day.
148
I don't think I've really said enough about the marvellous area you'll be walking in.
149
Let's have a look at some of the sights you'll be seeing.
150
Apart from these spectacular snow-covered peaks and valleys, there are marvellous historic villages.
151
The area has been famous for centuries for making beautiful carpets, although recently there has been a trend to move into weaving blankets and wood carving.
152
The people are extremely friendly and welcoming.
153
We deliberately keep the party small in size to minimise disruption to people and landscape.
154
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
155
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
156
I hope that there are still some people interested.
157
I will be distributing leaflets at the end, where you can find out more information.
158
But just for the moment, I'll outline the itinerary, the main high points of the holiday.
159
Obviously, you'll start by flying out to Kishba, the capital city, on day one.
160
After a couple of days to acclimatise yourself, you'll start the trek on day three, walking through the enormous Katiba forest, which will take the whole of the day.
161
Day 4 takes us higher up, going through the foothills past a number of villages and visiting a school for the disabled in Sohan.
162
Then you have a rest day, that's day 5, before going to the spectacular Kumi Temple,
163
with 12th century carvings, set in a small forest by a lake, and that's day 6, the highlight for many.
164
We stay near there for day seven, because then comes the hardest day, walking through very mountainous country, but culminating in a swim in the Partey Falls.
165
This is the highest waterfall in the region.
166
Day nine is much easier, with part of the day spent in a village where they make some of the gorgeous red blankets.
167
Then back down to Kishpar, and the journey home.
168
So, you can see it's a pretty packed timetable.
169
That is the end of section 2.
170
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
171
Thank you.
172
Now turn to section 3.
173
Section 3.
174
You will hear part of a seminar on ocean research given by a climate scientist.
175
First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
176
Thank you.
177
Thanks to all of you for coming along today to hear about how the Robotic Float Project is helping with ocean research.
178
Well, first of all, we'll look at what a robotic float does and its use.
179
So let's start with the device itself.
180
It looks a bit like a cigar, and it's about 1.5 metres long.
181
More importantly, it's full of equipment that's designed to collect data.
182
So it can help us in building up a profile of different factors which work together within the world's oceans.
183
Sounds like a big project.
184
Isn't it too big for one country to undertake?
185
That's quite true, but this project is a really good example of international cooperation.
186
Over the last five years, scientists from 13 countries have been taking part in the project and launching floats in their area of ocean control.
187
next year this number will rise to 14 when Indonesia joins the project.
188
That's impressive.
189
But let's move on to how floats work.
190
The operational cycle goes like this.
191
Each of the floats is dropped in the ocean from a boat at a set point and activated from a satellite.
192
Then the float immediately sinks about 2,000 metres.
193
That's two whole kilometres down in the water.
194
It stays at this depth for about 10 days
195
and is carried around by the currents which operate in the ocean at this level.
196
During this time, it's possible for it to cover quite large distances, but the average is 50 kilometres.
197
So, what is it actually recording?
198
Well, at this stage, nothing.
199
But as it rises to the surface, it collects all sorts of data.
200
Most importantly, variations in salinity, that's salt levels, and the changes in temperature, a bit like underwater weather balloons.
201
Then, when it gets back to the surface, all the data it's collected is beamed up to the satellite.
202
After about five hours on the surface, the float automatically sinks, beginning the whole process again.
203
What happens to the data?
204
Well, the information is transferred direct to onshore meteorological stations, like our one in Hobart, and within four hours the findings can be on computers,
205
and they can be mapped and analysed.
206
Before you hear the rest of the seminar, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
207
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
208
You say you're building models of the world's ocean systems, but how are they going to be used, and more importantly, when?
209
Some of the data has already helped in completing projects.
210
For example, our understanding of the underlying causes of El Nino events is being confirmed by float data.
211
Another way we are using float data is to help us to understand the mechanics of climate change, like global warming and ozone depletion.
212
That's part of an ongoing variability study, but the results are still a long way off.
213
However, this is not the case with our ocean weather forecasting.
214
Because we know from the floats what the prevailing weather conditions will be in certain parts of the ocean, we can advise the Navy on search and rescue missions.
215
That's happening right now, and many yachtsmen owe their lives to the success of this project.
216
In addition, the float data can help us to look at the biological implications of ocean processes.
217
Would that help with preserving fish stocks?
218
Yes, and advising governments on fisheries legislation.
219
We're well on the way to completing a project on this.
220
We hope it will help to bring about more sustainable fishing practices.
221
We'll be seeing the results of that quite soon.
222
It sounds like the data from floats has lots of applications.
223
Yes, it does.
224
It's also a powerful agricultural tool.
225
If we were aware of what the weather would be like, say, next year, we could make sure
226
that the farmers planted appropriate grain varieties to produce the best yield from the available rainfall.
227
That sounds a bit like science fiction, especially when now we can't even tell them when a drought will break.
228
I agree that this concept is still a long way in the future, but it will come eventually, and the float data will have made a contribution.
229
That is the end of Section 3.
230
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
231
Now turn to Section 4.
232
Section 4.
233
You will hear part of a lecture about hotels and the tourist industry.
234
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
235
Thank you.
236
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
237
Good morning, everyone.
238
Today's lecture forms part of the Hospitality and Tourism module.
239
Last week I looked at the economy end of the hotel business.
240
This week I'm going to discuss the luxury end of the market.
241
Let's consider the following scenario.
242
You wake up in the middle of the night, in a strange hotel miles away from home, disoriented, most probably, from jet lag,
243
when even the most expensive surroundings can seem empty and dispiriting.
244
You have paid a great deal of money to stay in this first-class hotel with its contemporary technology.
245
But according to recent research carried out by an international travel and public relations company, all is not well.
246
The research suggests that even the most opulent, luxurious hotels seem to have underestimated the most basic needs of their customers,
247
be they traveling for work or pleasure.
248
The need to feel at home in surroundings which are both familiar and inviting.
249
Do these findings, however, apply only to hotels situated in particular areas?
250
Is it possible that the external environment can affect a guest's well-being?
251
The company's research covered a whole range of different hotel types, both independent hotels and those which are part of large chains.
252
They investigated chic so-called boutique hotels in the heart of downtown business districts,
253
stately mansions located in the depths of beautiful countryside, and plush hotels built at the edge of tropical beaches,
254
surrounded by palm trees and idyllic blue ocean.
255
And the research concluded that what was outside the hotel building simply didn't matter.
256
This is a fascinating revelation, and those of you hoping to move into careers in the travel and leisure industry
257
would be well advised to look at the findings in more detail.
258
But back to the main point of this lecture, the need to feel at home.
259
What can the hotel industry do about it?
260
And is the very idea so subjective that it's impossible to do anything about it on a global basis?
261
However, nothing stands still in this world.
262
One company has come up with the slogan, Take Your Home With You, and aims to provide clients with luxury service departments.
263
Those in the business travel industry maintain that these service departments
264
dispense with all the unwanted and expensive hotel services that business travelers don't want, while maximizing the facilities they do want.
265
For example, not only sleeping and living accommodation, but also a sleek modern kitchen that allows guests to cook and entertain,
266
if they wish, at no additional cost.
267
The attractions of such facilities are obvious, and it'll be interesting to see whether the company manages to establish a trend all over the world
268
and make a lasting impact on the luxury accommodation market.
269
Now, finally, I want to consider the psychology underpinning the traditional holiday hotel industry.
270
As a hotelier, how do you go about attracting people to give up the security of their own home
271
and entrust themselves to staying in a completely strange place and sleeping in an unfamiliar bed?
272
Firstly, hotels exploit people's need to escape the predictability of their everyday lives.
273
For a few days, people can pretend they are free of responsibilities and can indulge themselves.
274
Secondly, there is something very powerful in our need to be pampered and looked after.
275
It's almost as if we returned to being a baby when everything was done for us and we felt safe and secure.
276
And not far removed from this is the pleasure in being spoilt and given little treats,
277
like the minuscule bottles of shampoo and tiny bars of soap, the chocolate on your pillow at night.
278
And we actually forget that we are paying for it all.
279
Next week, I'm going to look at eco-hotels, a fairly new phenomenon, but increasingly popular, particularly...
280
That is the end of section 4.
281
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
282
That is the end of the listening test.
283
In the IELTS test you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.

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.
