IELTS Listening and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.

All the recordings will be played once only.

The test is in four sections.

Write all your answers in the listening question booklet.

At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

Now turn to section one on page two of your question booklet.

Section 1 You will hear a woman who wants to rent a vacation cottage telephoning the owner.

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 7 on page 2.

You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.

On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.

Hello?

Oh, hello.

I'm calling about a vacation rental.

The name I've been given is Carol Marriott.

I'm Dave, Carol's husband.

We own it together.

The joint owners of the cottage are Carol Marriott and her husband Dave.

So, Dave has been written in the space.

Now we shall begin.

You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.

Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 7.

Hello?

Oh, hello.

I'm calling about a vacation rental.

The name I've been given is Carol Marriott?

I'm Dave, Carol's husband.

We own it together.

Oh, right.

Well, some friends of ours rented Aster Cottage from you for a week by the ocean last summer, and they recommended it to us.

My husband and I would like to rent it in the fall, for a week.

Okay. When, exactly?

We're looking at the week beginning September 21st, if it's available.

Let me check.

No, I'm sorry.

It's already booked that week.

You could have it the previous week, from the 14th.

Well, we could manage that week if we change a couple of arrangements.

How much would it cost?

That would be $835.

Ah, that's rather more than we wanted to pay, I'm afraid.

We were hoping to pay closer to $790, which our friends paid last year.

We also have a slightly smaller cottage called Periwinkle Cottage.

Excuse me, how do you spell the name?

P -E -R -I -W -I -N -K -L -E.

Periwinkle.

It's available the week you want it, and it's the exact same price that your friends paid last year.

I take it you want a place that sleeps just two people, like Astor Cottage?

Yes.

Is it near Astor Cottage?

Yeah, it's right across the street.

And what's this cottage like?

Well, it's part of a historic building that was originally a school a hundred years ago.

It was converted into a post office around 1950.

Then later on, the post office moved, and the building was divided to make two cottages.

So, is it on several floors?

No, it's all on one floor.

There's a large living room, a kitchen that's really well -equipped, a bedroom, and a bathroom with a tub and a shower.

Oh, very nice.

From the living room, you can go out onto the deck, which is a great place to have your meals when the weather's nice.

That sounds fantastic.

Can you see the river that flows through the town from the cottage?

You sure can.

It's close by.

You can see it from the bedroom.

Okay.

Would we need to bring anything?

Bedding, say?

That's provided.

But we make a small charge for towels.

Unless you bring your own, of course.

Oh, okay.

I'll do that.

Because we'll be driving, there'll be plenty of room in the car for things like that.

Oh, that reminds me.

Is there a garage that we can use?

I'm afraid there isn't one.

But you can usually get a parking spot on the street right in front of the cottage.

No problem.

We probably won't use the car much while we're there anyway.

We like to go for walks.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 8 to 10 on page 2.

Now listen and answer questions 8 to 10.

Oh, and what about the town itself?

Are there any restaurants in the neighborhood?

There are a few, all within walking distance.

A lot of people like the fish restaurant, but in my opinion, the Chinese restaurant has got to be the best for miles around.

That's good to know.

We might end up eating out every evening.

Well, why not?

Our friend said the town is pretty famous for antique stores.

That's right.

There's a whole bunch of them, at least ten on the main street.

Marvelous.

Okay, I'd like to make the booking, please.

Great.

We ask for a deposit of $200 and final payment at least six weeks before your stay.

But we'll be away ourselves for much of August, so let's say no later than the last day of July.

100

Is that okay with you?

101

Fine.

102

Okay.

103

Then let me give you our details so you can send the deposit.

104

That is the end of Section 1.

105

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

106

Now turn to section 2 on page 3.

107

Section 2.

108

You will hear a coordinator talking to volunteer helpers before a race involving a large number of people.

109

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14 on page 3.

110

Thank you.

111

Questions 11 to 14.

112

Thank you for all volunteering to help us with the Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run.

113

The purpose of this meeting is to give you some information about your duties on race day.

114

Some of you are asking about where you can park on the day.

115

Unfortunately, some of the usual places, down by the river for example, will be out of bounds because we'll need extra space for emergency vehicles.

116

Probably the best option is the Jack Gray Sportsfield in Barker Street.

117

Although the closest parking lot is the Metro Shopping Complex,

118

I would advise you not to park there as they tend to tow away people who aren't customers.

119

At the start line, most of you will be checking that runners have the necessary gear, especially their electronic timing chip,

120

the race number and the identity wristband.

121

Make sure that the number is attached to the front of the running shirt or singlet, not the back.

122

The timing chip, which records the runner's time, needs to be clipped onto one of their shoes and check that they are wearing their wristband.

123

Some of you will be responsible for organising the starting groups.

124

It's very important that runners start in a particular order.

125

There is a system of colour codes.

126

The red group are walkers and people with baby strollers.

127

The purple group are runners that expect to finish in at less than one hour, and the yellow group are our elite athletes.

128

We'd like them to start the race, and we'd like the other groups to follow after that,

129

with the red group and the strollers at the very back.

130

This is for their own safety.

131

Now, we are still short on volunteers for the race day, so if you have any friends or family members who might be interested,

132

please let us know.

133

We're probably OK for people to help with the start,

134

but we'll still desperately need volunteers along the race course to distribute water bottles to the runners.

135

A few of you have offered to help with first aid, but the good people of St John's Ambulance have donated their services,

136

so that won't be necessary.

137

Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20 on page 4.

138

Thank you.

139

sections 15 to 20.

140

Now I'll show you the layout of the race village, which is where the race ends.

141

Can you all see the map?

142

If you look at the bottom right -hand side, you'll see where the runners enter the village next to the corporate catering section.

143

As you continue along the course, you'll see the stage on your right.

144

That's where the winners will receive their medals.

145

Now, can you all see the finish line near the centre?

146

After they finish the race, the runners can take one of two paths, it doesn't matter which one,

147

to get their finishers t -shirts from the t -shirt stand at the end of those paths.

148

Many of you will be stationed there at the end of the race.

149

After they finish, the runners will also want their belongings and all bags are kept in the building on Bowen Road.

150

It's quite close to the exit, in the top left -hand corner of your map.

151

Now, some of you will have an important role, working in the information centre.

152

That's the building in the centre of the map, not far from the finish line.

153

It's just below it on your map.

154

And one other thing, can you all please remind the runners to enter in the prize draw for the new car?

155

The entry box is between the shade tents and the corporate catering buildings.

156

OK, let's see now, what else do I need to point out?

157

Ah, yes, the runners are always thirsty, and the main water station in the village is just beside the third exit through to Gregory Terrace.

158

Can you see it there to the left of the corporate catering area?

159

So everyone, please direct the race finishes there to get their free bottled water.

160

Now turn to section 3 on page 5.

161

Section 3.

162

You will hear a student called Joel talking to his tutor about his research into farmers' attitudes towards new developments in agriculture.

163

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26 on page 5.

164

Thank you.

165

Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.

166

Dr Owen?

167

Come in, Joel.

168

Right, so how's your research going?

169

You're looking at how farmers feel about new technology in agriculture, aren't you?

170

Well, actually, it's more general than that.

171

I'm looking at their attitudes to a variety of new developments in agriculture.

172

OK.

173

Have you got a title for the project yet?

174

I was thinking of something simple, like farmers' attitudes towards the adoption of new farming practices.

175

Hmm, that's possibly a bit too general.

176

I think the title needs to be a bit more specific.

177

What kind of farming will you be looking at?

178

Well, that'll vary, actually.

179

But I want to speak to each of the ten farmers in my sample.

180

So I've chosen farms which are all in the same region.

181

OK.

182

Well, I'd specify where they are then.

183

Right.

184

I'll amend the title to do that.

185

OK.

186

Is there any particular reason why you've decided to do face -to -face interviews?

187

It'll be quite time -consuming, won't it?

188

Yes, and I did consider doing telephone interviews for that reason,

189

especially as it's unnecessary for me to actually see the places where they work.

190

It's just that, in my experience, a lot of farmers don't like talking on the phone,

191

so they'll be more likely to talk freely if I see them in person.

192

Yes, you're probably right.

193

Good.

194

Then the first thing I want to investigate is how the farmers actually find out about new developments in agriculture

195

that they might want to adopt, what sources they use.

196

Right.

197

So how are you going to do this?

198

Well, I could make a checklist of sources of information for them to look at in advance,

199

so they could tick off the ones they actually use.

200

Things like farming magazines, farm product advertisements, television and the internet and so on.

201

It might be more useful to ask them rather than show them a list.

202

A spontaneous response to one or two open questions might give you a more accurate picture.

203

All right, I'll do that then.

204

Now, talk me through some of the other issues you want to cover.

205

Well, there's the way the government communicates with farmers.

206

Right, well, one thing is, farmers complain that the government sends out the same information to all of them,

207

whether they're poultry farmers or dairy farmers or arable farmers.

208

So they get all this information, but half of it doesn't actually apply to them.

209

Exactly.

210

So you could look at that.

211

Right.

212

Then I wanted to look at attitudes of British farmers to the cost of making any changes on their farms.

213

According to articles I've read,

214

farmers in Britain aren't in principle against investing money in new machinery and new practices,

215

but they're actually just too busy to work out what the financial implications are.

216

Yes, and a lot of them don't seem to consider getting financial advice from their accountants about it either.

217

Right.

218

There's also been some research in Australia on sheep rearing practices.

219

I can give you the reference, if you like.

220

Basically, it appears

221

that the majority of Australian sheep farmers are willing to risk

222

adopting new practices on the basis of just a few pieces of research.

223

They don't usually wait until the evidence in favour of the changes is overwhelming.

224

They're quite happy to act before then so they can get ahead of the game.

225

OK.

226

I'll take a look at that.

227

Thanks.

228

Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30 on page 6.

229

Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.

230

We said we'd also look at some of the reading material I've been reviewing.

231

Yes, I had another look at...

232

Contemporary Farming Manual, which is clearly bang up to date.

233

It covers a lot of things a farmer might want to know, but it's so dull.

234

Absolutely.

235

I found it really hard going, and I can't imagine any farmer wading through it.

236

There aren't even any decent pictures.

237

Did you have time to look at Running a Small Farm?

238

Yes, although I only read bits of it because, despite being entertaining, it wasn't very academic.

239

I know.

240

And a lot of the information is either misleading or simply wrong.

241

I'm surprised it got published at all.

242

I don't imagine the farming press will rate it very highly.

243

You recommend agriculture and economics.

244

I expected that it would be really difficult.

245

The title's a bit off -putting.

246

But I thought it was brilliant.

247

So I've bought it.

248

Yes.

249

Some people think it relies too heavily on farming practices in specific parts of the world.

250

But the theories that underpin these are universal.

251

And that's why it's a required textbook for anyone studying agriculture.

252

Right.

253

What else did you come across?

254

I borrowed How to Survive in Farming from the library.

255

I thought it would be interesting background and I liked the informal style.

256

But it turned out to have been written years ago.

257

Yes, and like everything else, farming fashions have changed.

258

So it's badly in need of a new edition.

259

Can I ask you a question about...

260

That is the end of Section 3.

261

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

262

Thank you.

263

Section 4 on page 7.

264

Section 4.

265

You will hear part of a lecture given by an art

266

and design lecturer on the topic of Aboriginal textile design in Australia.

267

First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on page 7.

268

Thank you.

269

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

270

The Indigenous people of Australia,

271

or Aboriginals, have a long history of using animal and plant fibres to make a variety of fabric.

272

Over the years their traditional designs and stories have been incorporated into various textiles.

273

The Erna Bella Arts Centre is a place where local aboriginals can produce their traditional craft

274

and also learn new techniques to decorate fabric.

275

For the first 30 years the artists crafted rugs working with wool.

276

These rugs incorporated their own unique designs.

277

However, as they became less economical to produce, the artists were introduced to batik, which is an Indonesian method of dyeing textiles.

278

Batik is quicker than weaving, so many of the Erna Bella artists started to produce it themselves.

279

Screen printing was later introduced to the centre,

280

and Erna Bella's artists were commissioned to produce fabric for furniture that was to be used at popular tourist destinations,

281

such as the National Park offices at Uluru.

282

Screen printing has also been used successfully by the Tiwi people, who live on islands north of Darwin.

283

Their company, Tiwi Designs, produces fabric that is inspired by their surroundings.

284

For example, they incorporated bird motifs into their early designs.

285

Tiwi art, culture and language are very different from those of mainland Aboriginal groups.

286

The patterns on their fabric are related to the beliefs and legends in their culture.

287

For example, some textile designs are chosen because they are thought to cause rain.

288

Another successful Aboriginal design company was founded by Jimmy Pike.

289

His dynamic prints, paintings and fabrics are greatly influenced by the Australian landscape, in particular that of the desert,

290

which is often featured in this work.

291

Pike worked with acrylic paint, oil pastels and screen printing.

292

Surprisingly, Jimmy Pike's life as an artist began in prison, where he was serving a sentence for murder.

293

The art teachers there recognised his talent and gave him the technical skills he needed to become a successful artist.

294

After Pike's release, he started his own company, aiming to create a product that would sell well commercially,

295

but still retain its Aboriginal cultural identity.

296

Eventually, he decided to bring his artwork onto textiles, which were used to produce clothing.

297

The designs he selected were transferred onto cotton and had both a strong linear character and a good colour range.

298

Bronwyn Bancroft is one of the most successful

299

Aboriginal artists and designers to date.

300

She has produced a great deal of artwork and textiles, and many of her paintings are held by Australian art galleries.

301

Her work reflects her Aboriginal roots, but always with a contemporary fresh view of family and the natural environment.

302

In 1995, she was chosen by a charity organisation to paint a pair of jeans owned by Cathy Freeman,

303

a famous Aboriginal Australian athlete.

304

She used imagery of lizards moving quickly over the Australian terrain

305

and she added a rainbow which represents the optimism that Cathy symbolises for all Aboriginal people.

306

In 2001 she was chosen to design costumes for the opening of the biggest street parade ever held in Australia,

307

the Journey of a Nation Parade.

308

The people in Bancroft's section of the parade all wore an outfit she designed.

309

It featured the image of a snake that had no head or tail to represent an ongoing culture.

310

Exploitation of creative work can be a problem for any artist,

311

and copyright laws exist to protect individual artists from the unauthorised use of his or her work.

312

This issue is often more complex for Aboriginal artists as the symbols

313

and motifs used in their designs also hold cultural significance for them.

314

An example of this was when a businessman had rugs made overseas incorporating images stolen from Aboriginal paintings.

315

The carpet case, as it became known, was taken to court where luckily the artists won.

316

That is the end of Section 4.

317

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

318

That is the end of the listening test.

319

You now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.

320

Thank you.

321

Thank you.

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.
