1
Hello, my name's Ian Chance, and you are Carlotta de Miguel, right?
2
Yeah, that's right.
3
Can you please spell your surname for me?
4
Yeah, it's D -E space M -I -G -U -E -L.
5
Thank you.
6
Where are you from?
7
I am from Spain.
8
Thank you.
9
Exam begins.
10
Language cert academic.
11
Now, part one.
12
I'm going to ask you some questions about yourself and your ideas.
13
The first topic is study skills.
14
Tell me where you go when you want to concentrate on your studies.
15
Well, what I would usually do
16
when I was an undergraduate I will book an individual private
17
study room at the library for usually nine to ten hours a day
18
and I will find it's a very quiet
19
and very beneficial environment for me to study as I could lock the door I will be there by myself
20
and I had a very large desk for my books and my computer
21
and also the library in general it was a very pleasant environment so that's what will tend to do.
22
I want privacy and a calming space essentially.
23
That does sound like a pleasant environment.
24
Okay, thank you.
25
The next topic is daily life.
26
Is it good to follow the same routine every day?
27
Well, I would say that no, because that can become a bit stale over time.
28
As time goes by people have to involve
29
and accept even embrace change in their lives so I will say
30
that every once in a
31
while someone should try well should sounds perhaps not the right word
32
because that makes it feel mandatory
33
but it will be good for someone to find a new hobby a new activity to make
34
or make small changes and make small changes, excuse me, in the routine,
35
so as to make life less mundane and more challenging, more exciting.
36
Yes, small changes can help with that.
37
Thanks very much.
38
Now, next topic is phones.
39
In what situations do you use your phone most?
40
Mostly for work, to communicate with my colleagues, especially when I'm not at my workplace.
41
When I'm on the go I use the applications that we have to communicate with each other.
42
I also use it a lot to send emails
43
but unfortunately as well before I go to bed I usually listen to a podcast
44
or watch videos and I know that's not a very good habit
45
because actually it's quite detrimental to my sleep due to being exposed to the blue lights and the phone screen before bed.
46
However, that's what I do.
47
Yes, I think a lot of us do that.
48
Thank you very much for your answers.
49
Let's move on to part two.
50
Now, part two.
51
We're going to roleplay some situations.
52
I want you to start or respond.
53
OK, the first situation.
54
I start.
55
Do you know where to find the reading list for the semester online?
56
I've looked everywhere on the college website.
57
Oh, it's actually not on the college website.
58
The teachers and the tutors use another separate site where they upload all the material they want us to study, and they also categorise it according to module,
59
according to week, and according to semester.
60
Oh, I didn't know that.
61
How can I access it?
62
It's actually really easy.
63
Do you have your booklet that they gave to you when you started the course?
64
Oh, it must be somewhere.
65
I must check.
66
OK, well, even if you don't remember where it is, I can forward the link to you, or I can even forward you the whole booklet.
67
It's also in PDF format.
68
Thank you so much.
69
You're a great help.
70
No worries at all.
71
And now the second situation.
72
We're both students in self -catering accommodation.
73
You like to save time and money by buying food and cooking together.
74
You start. So you know what?
75
I had this great idea the other day.
76
I think it will be very economical when it comes to saving both time and money.
77
So what if we went to the grocery store every week together, we plan our budget and then we will cook and prepare our meals for the week together.
78
That sounds nice, but I don't know if we share the same interests and the same food preferences.
79
Erm, well, I will say that I'm not nitpicky at all.
80
I probably like every sort of food that you can think of and I am very open to suggestions.
81
OK, that's nice.
82
I'm not a very good cook, though. Are you?
83
Well, yeah, I think I'm very good, actually.
84
I've been cooking since I was very young, because I have a lot of younger siblings.
85
Great, that sounds good.
86
I'm excited, actually.
87
It'll be fun.
88
Thank you.
89
So that is the end of part two.
90
Now, part three.
91
You're going to read a short passage out loud.
92
When you've finished, I'll ask you some questions about the topic of the passage.
93
You now have twenty seconds to look at the passage,
94
then I'll ask you to read it out loud
95
okay please start okay in the 19th century the invention of
96
man -made plastic was hailed as a breakthrough The discovery of this cheap
97
and versatile material allowed a seemingly endless supply of affordable everyday products to appear on the market.
98
Since the 1950s, an estimated 9 .1 billion tons has been produced today.
99
Today, however, attitudes towards plastic have changed dramatically.
100
Most plastic is virtually indestructible
101
and plastic waste is now a main source of pollution as it ends up either in landfill sites or in the oceans,
102
where it will never decompose.
103
Even recycled plastic will eventually add to this environmental disaster.
104
Thank you.
105
Now I'm going to ask you some questions.
106
What main point is the writer making in this passage?
107
I would say the main point of the passage is that it is referring to how plastic was a major discovery,
108
but environmentally it is not beneficial and it will create a problem as time goes by.
109
Thank you very much for your answer.
110
Now I have another question for you.
111
What can ordinary people do to help reduce the amount of plastic waste that's produced?
112
Erm, well, I would say that people can use alternative materials and they can also choose to buy alternative materials there.
113
For example, straws made out of other materials and there are also,
114
erm, packages and products that come in packaging that is inscribed on it, that it's made out of something else,
115
something renewable instead of plastic.
116
OK, yes, renewable packaging instead of plastic packaging.
117
Thank you very much for sharing your ideas.
118
This is the end of part three.
119
In part four, you're going to talk for about two minutes on the topic of undergraduate attitudes to looking for a job.
120
Here is some information about the topic.
121
you now have one minute to look at the information then
122
i'll ask you to talk about it you can write some
123
notes to help you of course can i ask will the information remain there
124
while i'm talking about the subject or will you have to take it away no no it will stay
125
Thank you.
126
OK, so now you have two minutes to talk about the topic.
127
Please start.
128
of course so today's topic is attitude to looking for a job
129
or to starting a career in undergraduate students as far as I can see I will say
130
that there is a direct correlation between the year they are in
131
and also by extension their age and the things
132
that they value most or least I can see for example
133
that first -year students tend to care less about pragmatic
134
and essentially practical aspects of looking for a job such as salary and benefits and career opportunities.
135
They tend to put a lot more thoughts I would say
136
and they tend to prioritize the values of the company that they will likely work for.
137
Quite likely a first -year student will care more about the values of the company, which is essentially a more vague and abstract concept to them,
138
and they also connect that to their own personal values and ideals.
139
So likely they will not work for a major company that has shown that they have very little care about ideals,
140
the environment, progressive politics, etc, etc.
141
unfortunately what we see a trend
142
that as time goes by they tend to put less value on such pursuits such thoughts
143
and they start focusing more on the quote unquote adult aspects
144
of looking for a job such as as I said before
145
salary benefits flexible hours working in arrangements etc um perhaps they are also considering other factors
146
that will be introduced to their lives, such as family, needing to take care of one's family,
147
needing to be financially stable, needing to have stable hours,
148
so that you can combine your work life with the other aspects of your life.
149
OK, thank you for your interesting insight.
150
Now, another question.
151
Do you think it's always an advantage to be able to work from home i will say
152
that it is an advantage depending on the situation
153
so well the the answer to your question is no um
154
if you are living in a remote area
155
and you don't want to move due to whatever circumstances
156
and commitments then yes it's brilliant but
157
if you live in the middle of the city
158
and your office is close by why not go to your office and socialise with your colleagues, it might be a great opportunity to make friends and get out of the house.
159
Yes, indeed.
160
It is good to get out of the house.
161
Well…

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.
