Test 3.
2
You will hear a number of different recordings, and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
3
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions, and you will have a chance to check your work.
4
All the recordings will be played once only.
5
The test is in four sections.
6
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
7
Now turn to section 1.
8
Section 1.
9
You will hear a woman phoning an antique shop complaining about the delivery service and some damage to the item she purchased.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
11
You will see that there is an example which has been done for you.
12
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
13
Hello, this is the Complaint Centre of the Service Department at Clifton Antiques.
14
Before we start, I'll just need to take more details from you, OK?
15
Sure, no problem.
16
Well, could you please tell me your full name, madam?
17
It is Anna Lumley.
18
That's Anna, L -U -M -L -E -Y.
19
The caller's name is Anna Lumley, so Anna Lumley has been written in the space.
20
Now we shall begin.
21
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
22
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
23
Hello.
24
This is the Complaint Centre of the Service Department at Clifton Antiques.
25
Before we start, I'll just need to take more details from you, OK?
26
Sure, no problem.
27
Well, could you please tell me your full name, madam?
28
It is Anna Lumley.
29
That's Anna, L -U -M -L -E -Y.
30
All right.
31
L -U -M -O -E -Y.
32
Not exactly.
33
The fourth letter is L, not O.
34
Oh, sorry.
35
Let me rewrite it.
36
And may I have your contact number that we can use to reach you during the week?
37
Sure.
38
My mobile phone number is 077 -876 -345.
39
Great.
40
Now what can I do for you today, Anna?
41
I placed an order for a large quantity of items with you last week, on the 20th of February, and had been expecting them to arrive at the office in a week.
42
However, only half of the shipment has been delivered.
43
I would just like to ensure that they haven't gone missing in transit.
44
All right, madam.
45
It's a pity we have caused this inconvenience to you.
46
I'll look for the parcel track record and see
47
if I can give you a date when you should receive the rest of your order.
48
What was your delivery list listed?
49
I made the arrangements for the parcel to be conveyed from
50
your warehouse on Ardell Road to my office address at 235 Arkendale Road.
51
Sorry, could you say it again, the address?
52
Yes.
53
235 Arkendale Road, A -K -E -N -D -A -L -E.
54
In East Sea?
55
Yes, sir.
56
Well, OK.
57
Our system has tracked your parcel, which shows that your shipment has been received.
58
However, there's no record about the lost items.
59
I would suggest that you wait for two days, and if the other items don't arrive, then you might need to consider to claim insurance coverage for the value of the rest.
60
How much are they worth?
61
Um, they cost me $34 ,500 in total.
62
All right.
63
For this amount, I think 10 % will be covered by the insurance company.
64
Therefore, you could claim $3 ,450 from them.
65
If you'd like to, there is a form on our website that you can fill in, and when the loss is confirmed, you'll get the money within five working days.
66
The rest of the money will be refunded to you in a month, so you won't suffer a financial loss.
67
It sounds reasonable.
68
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
69
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
70
Yet it is necessary to make a list of your lost items so we can check it against our records.
71
Is that OK?
72
Of course, OK.
73
It is unfortunate that a few of the missing items are one of a kind, and thus irreplaceable.
74
Also, there were many small items that aren't very valuable, like lamps and chairs.
75
However, there was a large item of antique furniture and a bag filled with first edition books, which was some of the first ever to be printed on a press.
76
Right, OK.
77
Anything else?
78
Yeah, there was also some important items, a Victorian rocking chair for my daughter,
79
some large oil paintings originating from the Edwardian period, and a few decorated fruit bowls.
80
Right.
81
OK.
82
I've taken down the list of these missing items, so I'll call the warehouse to see if any of them are still there.
83
Ah, I almost forgot.
84
There are several other pieces that I've spotted on your website and wanted to order.
85
May I do that now?
86
It is definitely okay.
87
Would you tell me a little about the items you're looking to buy?
88
There is a gold clock and a golden -framed vintage mirror.
89
Okay, perfect.
90
The charge will be taken from the payment card that you used before.
91
You can expect them to be delivered within the next week.
92
Is there anything else that I can do for you today?
93
Yes.
94
I received two damaged items in the shipment, so I need to claim for a partial refund.
95
Oh, sorry.
96
I need to know more about the details of the actual
97
damage over the phone line before you put in a full report.
98
What kinds of pieces are damaged?
99
A drawer is missing from the antique mahogany desk, and I also spotted a dent on one of the corners, so it's basically unusable.
100
I see.
101
Do you know how much it will cost to repair it?
102
No. Well, I don't think it's repairable.
103
I will have to buy a new one.
104
Sorry.
105
I'll take a note of that and see what we can do for compensation.
106
Anything else?
107
I also purchased a set of dining chairs with navy leather padding, however the color is fading, and one of the legs has completely split down the middle.
108
Okay.
109
Are there any other damaged pieces?
110
Yes.
111
There is a set of Chinese crockery to furnish my dining room table, but when I opened the case, I found that a cup was lost, and that some plates had smashed.
112
Four, actually.
113
And is that all of the item?
114
Yes, I think that's all.
115
Right.
116
I'll estimate the value of the damage and a refund will be issued.
117
OK.
118
Cheers for your great help.
119
No problem.
120
My pleasure.
121
Goodbye.
122
That is the end of Section 1.
123
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
124
Now turn to Section 2.
125
Section 2.
126
You will hear part of a broadcast for tourists about the popular holiday region called the Trelloa Valley.
127
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
128
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.
129
An unspoiled, splendid scenery takes its shape in the valley and estuary of the River Trelloa.
130
Abundant with wildlife, as well as views of historic interest, There are lots of channels to explore the area with the wonderful public transport networks.
131
With just short walks in between spots, it is possible for you to leave the car behind and travel by boat, train or bus.
132
There is the Treloar Valley Passenger Ferry running between villages, alongside the river estuary, and serves as a link with the train station at Bury,
133
from which it takes only a 10 -minute walk from the riverside village of Carlton.
134
In the past, the main transport way in the area was the river, and as in the past, the ferry timetable varied from day to day according to the time and height of the tide.
135
The ferry is also seasonal, usually running its business during the period between April and September, depending on the weather.
136
Visiting our website, www .treloaferry .co .uk, it's convenient to download the timetable.
137
If you would like to relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery, just take a river cruise to Carlton and back from the nearby city of Plymouth.
138
Visitors were carried along the same route by steamships in the past.
139
Queen Victoria and her family also enjoyed such a trip in 1856.
140
Today, it takes you a few hours to do the journey.
141
The round trip only lasts for four to five hours, varying in terms of the tides and weather.
142
You can travel upriver by boat and return to Plymouth by train if you prefer.
143
There will be wheelchair access on all the cruise boat trains.
144
For more information and departure times, please ring Plymouth Boat Cruise on 01752 823 104.
145
Trains travel between Carleton and Plymouth many times a day with different stations in between throughout the year.
146
Local commuters as well as visitors who fancy the lovely scenery prefer to use the service.
147
The highlight of the journey is going across the river on the amazing viaduct, which was constructed in the early period of the 20th century,
148
and it towers 120 feet over the water.
149
Tickets can be directly bought on the train, so it is unnecessary to book ahead.
150
You can reach National Rail Enquiries by phone or online for more details on fares and timetables.
151
The bus service is now linking all train stations and villages in the zone, especially for holidaymakers.
152
There is a Rover ticket, including unlimited journeys, which can be used on weekends and national holidays.
153
The Rover ticket offers great value for money and is now even cheaper than it was last year.
154
Adults, a ticket costs £5 .50 per day.
155
For senior citizens, the cost is £4 .50, and a family ticket for up to five people only costs £12.
156
You can purchase tickets on the bus.
157
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
158
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
159
At the centre of the Trelaw Estuary area is the historic Riverside village of Carlton.
160
The main road comes into the village from the south, and for those who are riding by bus, it turns left, just before the bridge, and stops in the lay -by on the left -hand side.
161
From there, it's just a short walk to Carlton's various attractions.
162
If you're arriving by car, you have to leave it in the main car park.
163
Go over the bridge, take the first turning on the right, then go on until you come to the end of that road.
164
It's the only place to park in Carlton, but there's no charge.
165
If you're interested in local history, there's a museum in Carlton with farming, fishing and household implements from the late 19th century.
166
As you come in from the south, cross the river and go straight on the same road till you reach the end.
167
Also on the subject of history, you can go and see the old mill, which has recently been renovated and put back into use.
168
Turn left before you come to the bridge, then go straight on and take the first turning on the right.
169
This leads straight there.
170
If you're interested in arts and crafts, there's a potter's studio where you can watch the artist at work.
171
After crossing the bridge, turn left and it's the second building on the left.
172
Finally, when you're in need of refreshments, there's a cafe opposite the old boathouse and a picnic area near the mill.
173
That is the end of Section 2.
174
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
175
Now turn to Section 3.
176
Section 3.
177
You will hear two students who are taking a research methodology course.
178
A girl called Lila and a boy called Jake having a seminar with their tutor.
179
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
180
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
181
So I gave you both a task to select an article about a small -scale research project.
182
Yes.
183
And required you to have a trial to replicate the procedures of the research in your own context.
184
I mean, try it out yourself.
185
Yeah, and we've done that.
186
Nice.
187
In this way, I want you to tell me a little bit about the article
188
and explain why it started applying crosswords to assist the students to review the exam terminologies.
189
All right.
190
The article was written by two university professors who had initially used crosswords to help the students revise the terminology for exams.
191
And the crosswords were designed and installed on computers.
192
And we selected the article because, though we weren't familiar with the technique, it seems an accessible topic,
193
you know, using IT to design crosswords for higher education.
194
That's a good reason.
195
So both of the professors would like to see how well this innovation was received by their students.
196
Yes.
197
So what has been going on with your reproducing the research?
198
Well, we collected a series of some terms from our own modules and put them in a list.
199
Then we designed a crossword to revise them.
200
Then we invited some of our classmates to try out our crossword and then ask for some feedback from them, you know, like their feelings,
201
views, as well as some suggestions about using this technique.
202
Did you find it easy to have people participate in it?
203
Not really.
204
First, you know, it was actually hard, but later when we convinced them by talking about the actual benefit
205
that they will get from participating in this research on preparing for an exam which is coming up later this semester?
206
It functioned.
207
Great.
208
So how did you get the feedback from the students that tells you their thought about the crosswords?
209
By a questionnaire.
210
There were two pages in the original questionnaire and it included lots of X -linked questions.
211
But the whole section about difficulties using IT is now out of date.
212
Even the questionnaire had just been finished a few years ago.
213
So have you done a shorter version?
214
Sure.
215
And then we emailed it to 40 students and received 28 replies, I was disappointed by the fact, but this was a relatively good result.
216
I mean, the responses we got from them were well -written.
217
You know, people did take a lot of care with them, but I was still taken aback with the low numbers.
218
Yes, for an apprentice researcher, it's an important lesson to learn.
219
Yeah.
220
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
221
Now listen to answer questions 25 to 30.
222
So what was your result?
223
Well, basically their feedback was extremely positive.
224
The students said that crosswords on a computer really helped them not to get distracted
225
and stay focused on the work in hand, which is better than other ways of doing the revision that are often disturbed by other things.
226
Yeah, that was really clear, but I was struck by the fact that they hardly featured having fun in their responses,
227
nor did anything to do with spelling of hard words, which I thought would apparently be a benefit.
228
No?
229
OK.
230
Their responses also said that the crossword hadn't really prompted their general motivation to study, but it had highlighted the gaps in their memory
231
so they could figure out what kind of work was necessary to do further.
232
Right.
233
So how did your findings compare with those done by the original researchers?
234
There were a couple of similarities, but...
235
We still found two primary differences.
236
Compared with females...
237
More males liked the technique, yet the original findings were the reverse case.
238
Also, our respondents said they wouldn't mind doing a crossword in the final official exam.
239
Even in the original study, it showed that even if crossword makes exams shorter, they would not like it to be included.
240
For informal purposes, of course, both sets of respondents said doing more crosswords would be of great interest to them, like revision and so on.
241
Right.
242
So let's think about the whole project and what you've learned from it.
243
Well, it really took a long time.
244
Yeah, and I don't think we handled that aspect well.
245
It could have gone worse.
246
I mean, there was not much data collected, so we didn't have to spend ages dealing with it.
247
And since we'd already done a course on numerical data processing, there wasn't much new for us.
248
Yeah, definitely.
249
Anyway, I think the questions we designed were good, so that the data we collected was manageable.
250
Yeah, it really helped having the original study to guide us, as it were.
251
And that helped us to see what a good instrument research is.
252
What questionnaires should be like.
253
Absolutely, we got a lot from that.
254
But when we were writing up the project, we weren't sure on how to acknowledge the work of the original study.
255
You know, our referencing.
256
No, that's what we both need to learn in the future.
257
Actually, that part's been great.
258
Finding ways to share and support another person.
259
That's the real plus from the project, learning ways to do that.
260
Well, it's obviously been very successful.
261
That is the end of Section 3.
262
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
263
Now turn to Section 4.
264
Section 4.
265
You will hear a sociology lecture about the perspectives of time.
266
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
267
Now listen carefully.
268
Answer questions 31 to 40.
269
Today, I would like to share something with you about time.
270
Particularly, I'll be looking at the way we think about time, and how these perspectives of time structure our life.
271
Social psychologists have pointed out that there are six ways of thinking about time, which they regard as personal time zones.
272
The first two types of time zones are based in the past.
273
Past positive thinkers usually spend a major part of their time looking back to the past, which means they're in a state of nostalgia,
274
where they fancy remembering moments of happiness, such as birthdays, marriages, and important times of success in their lives.
275
They are those who have the habit of keeping family records, books, and photo albums.
276
The kinds of people living in a past negative time zone are also absorbed by earlier times, but they concentrate on all the negative sides of a life picture,
277
such as regrets, failures, or poor decisions.
278
They spend plenty of time imagining what life could have been.
279
Then, it is those who live in the present.
280
Present hedonists live their life in pleasure and immediate sensation.
281
Their life motto should be having a good time and avoiding painful experiences.
282
Present fatalists live in the present as well.
283
However, they think this moment is the product of circumstances entirely beyond their control, that it is more a fate.
284
Whether it's poverty, religion, or society itself, something prohibits fatalists from thinking that they do perform a role in changing their life outcomes.
285
Life is simply what it is.
286
How about the future time zone?
287
People who are sorted into the future active group are those who make plans and go for their plans.
288
They don't play, but work and resist temptation.
289
They make decisions in terms of potential consequences rather than experience itself.
290
The other type of future -oriented perspective is future fatalistic.
291
This group of people holds a belief that there will be a certainty of life after death, and a certain kind of judgment day
292
when they will be assessed on how virtuously they have led their life and what achievements they have made in their lives.
293
OK, so much for all the types.
294
You now may ask, in what ways are our lives influenced by these time zones?
295
Well, let's start at the beginning.
296
When we were born, no exceptions, everyone was a present hedonist.
297
All the initial needs and demands, like being warm, secure, fed, and watered, were all from that time.
298
But formal education changes the way we think.
299
Each one of us is taught not to focus only on the moment and start to make estimates about the future.
300
But you might be surprised every nine seconds a child drops out of school in the U .S.
301
Most interestingly, there's much more boys dropping out than girls doing so.
302
We may easily draw the conclusion, boys aren't as intelligent as girls.
303
But the evidence doesn't support this.
304
A recent survey indicates that when American boys reach the age of 21, they have spent roughly 10 ,000 hours on video games,
305
and also suggests they'll never fit in the traditional classroom, because there is a stronger need for those boys to have a certain circumstance in
306
which they are capable of managing their own learning environment.
307
Now, let's move on to how we do prevention education.
308
All kinds of prevention education are usually targeted at the future time zone.
309
Say, don't smoke or you'll get cancer, get good grades or you won't get a good job.
310
But as for present -oriented kids, it doesn't make sense.
311
Though they do know the potentially detrimental consequences of their actions, they insist on how they behave because they're not living for the future.
312
They are in the present right now.
313
Logics won't be helping, and it's no use reminding them of potential fallout from their decisions or previous judgment errors.
314
We have to get in their minds just as they're about to make a choice.
315
How we value and use our time is greatly influenced by the time perspectives we have.
316
When Americans cross a question about how busy they are, most of the interviewees usually report being busier than ever before.
317
They admit to sacrificing their relationships, personal time, and good sleep during nights for their careers.
318
But 20 years ago, 60 % of Americans had sit -down dinners with their families.
319
Now, the number has dropped to 20%.
320
However, when they're asked, what if there were eight days in a week?
321
They say, oh, that'll be fabulous.
322
They would spend that time working to achieve more.
323
They're persistently trying to get to the future point of happiness.
324
So, it's of vital importance we know how other people think about time.
325
We tend to think, oh, that person is really irresponsible, or that guy is power -hungry.
326
But often, what we care about is not the fundamental personality differences, but only various approaches of thinking about time.
327
Rather than distinctions of characteristics, seeing these conflicts as differences in time perspectives can promote more effective cooperation between people
328
and get the most out of each person's individual strengths.
329
That is the end of Section 4.
330
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
331
That is the end of the listening test.
332
In the IELTS test, you will now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
333
Thank you.

- "I placed an order for...": Essa expressão é usada para falar sobre pedidos feitos. Por exemplo: "I placed an order for a book last week" (Eu fiz um pedido de um livro na semana passada). É mais formal que "I bought", ideal para situações profissionais.
- "had been expecting them to arrive": O passado perfeito contínuo mostra uma ação que estava acontecendo antes de outra no passado. No diálogo, a cliente esperava a entrega há uma semana antes de ligar. Você pode usar: "I had been waiting for 30 minutes when the bus arrived" (Eu estava esperando há 30 minutos quando o ônibus chegou).
- "I would just like to ensure that...": Uma forma educada de expressar uma preocupação. Em vez de "I want to know", essa frase é mais polida. Exemplo: "I would just like to ensure that the meeting is at 2 PM" (Eu gostaria apenas de ter certeza de que a reunião é às 14h).
Armadilhas comuns de pronúncia
Algumas palavras no vídeo podem ser difíceis de pronunciar. Vamos destacar:
- "Antiques": A pronúncia correta é /ænˈtiːks/, mas muitos aprendizes confundem com "antiques" (com um som de "t" duro). Ouça atentamente no vídeo para notar que o "t" é suave.
- "Transit": A palavra é pronunciada /ˈtrænzɪt/, não /ˈtrænsɪt/. O "s" tem um som de "z" aqui. Repita várias vezes usando o shadowspeaks para acertar.
- "Ardell Road": Os nomes de ruas podem ter acentuações específicas. No vídeo, "Ardell" é dito com o destaque na primeira sílaba: /ˈɑːrdel/. Pratique repetindo imediatamente após o falante para capturar o ritmo.
Lembre-se: a prática constante é a chave! Use o shadow speech diariamente com esse vídeo e veja como sua pronúncia e fluência melhoram. Você consegue!

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.
