Now look at the instructions for part one.

For each question, choose the correct answer.

Look at question one.

One.

Where does the man think he left his wallet?

Hello, my name's Joe Smith.

I'm ringing because I lost my black leather wallet on Monday.

I got off the 11.20 train from Reading and went to the shop at the end of Platform 2.

I bought some sandwiches, so I had my wallet then.

Afterwards, I went to sit in the waiting room.

I remember putting my wallet down.

I probably left it there because my next train arrived, so I hurried off to get it.

If it's handed in, please can you contact me on 07577 886.

Now listen again.

2. What is tomorrow's talk at the Nature Society about?

Do you fancy coming along to tomorrow's Nature Society talk?

Yeah, the last one on rivers and the plants around them was very good, wasn't it?

Well, you'll like the next topic too.

It's something you're interested in.

Ah, so it's about rainforests then?

I knew you'd think that.

Actually, there's a talk on that next month.

This one will deal with something closer to home.

Wildflowers in parks and gardens.

Oh, OK.

Not as interesting as jungle wildlife, but it still sounds worth going to.

3. What will the woman order for lunch?

The menu looks good, doesn't it?

Yes.

Have you decided what you're going to order?

You normally have salad for lunch, don't you?

Yes.

I was thinking I might have the tomato soup, or maybe a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich.

They both sound nice, and I've heard the bread here's really good.

They bake it themselves.

Look, it says everything on the lunchtime menu comes with fresh bread.

In that case, I'll go for my usual choice.

OK, well, I'm going to try the soup.

4. How did the woman find out about the exhibition?

Hi Jack, did you know there's an interesting new exhibition on at the local art gallery?

I was looking at the gallery's website recently and I didn't see anything about it.

I'm surprised they haven't advertised it more on posters around town either.

Anyway, according to what I heard on the radio, it's only on for a couple of days and I think it'll be really popular.

I can book tickets online if you're interested.

Let me know as soon as you can.

Now listen again.

popular.

I can book tickets online if you're interested.

Let me know as soon as you can.

5. What job is the woman's brother doing?

Did I tell you my brother's working at Scooter, that new designer clothes place in town?

You know, the one that sells really original jeans and t-shirts?

I'm quite jealous.

I'd like to work there as a shop assistant myself.

Well, in fact, he wanted to do that, but they only needed a security guard for the shop, so he was given that job instead.

He's pleased, and he gets a great discount on all those amazing designer clothes.

Cool.

6. How will the woman travel to her meeting?

101

Hi, Brian.

102

This is Amanda, Amanda Smith.

103

I'm calling to let you know that I might be a little late for our meeting.

104

They've cancelled my train.

105

It's really annoying actually as the train's the fastest way to get into town.

106

I tried to get a cab but the queue at the station was so long.

107

It'll be quicker to rush home and get my own car rather than wait for a taxi.

108

So I'll see you soon hopefully.

109

Now listen again.

110

Hopefully.

111

Seven.

112

Which sport has the man stopped doing?

113

You're doing lots of winter sports this year, aren't you?

114

That's right.

115

Snowboarding's been a first-time experience for me.

116

It's taken me a while to learn, but now I find it hard to stop.

117

What else have you tried?

118

Ice hockey too.

119

I've always enjoyed watching it.

120

It's too fast, though, and I gave it up in the end.

121

Skiing's a bit scary, but it's so exciting that I just can't get enough of it.

122

It's a shame it's such an expensive sport to do.

123

Yes, I know.

124

Now listen again.

125

You're doing lots of winter sports this year, aren't you?

126

134

135

136

That is the end of part one.

137

Now look at part two.

138

For each question, choose the correct answer.

139

Eight.

140

You will hear two people talking about buying a bicycle.

141

So, have you bought a bicycle yet?

142

I nearly bought one last week, but in the end I didn't really think the salesman I spoke to knew enough.

143

In our local bike shop?

144

They're usually very helpful in there.

145

Yes, I think he was new.

146

Anyway, maybe I need to do some more research online.

147

If you look on the internet, sometimes there's too much information.

148

What about talking to my brother who's a professional cyclist?

149

He'd give you some useful ideas without trying to persuade you to buy a particular product like they do in shops.

150

I could do.

151

Now listen again.

162

9. You will hear a man telling his friend about his Welsh language course.

163

How are you getting on with your Welsh language course?

164

Not too bad, actually.

165

From what other people had told me, I thought the grammar would be really hard.

166

But, actually, it isn't too bad.

167

The main issue I have to deal with is our teacher.

168

If she spoke more slowly, I'd understand a lot more.

169

I miss so much.

170

Oh well, I'm sure I'll get used to her.

171

Our classes are only an hour long though, so just when I'm getting into the lesson, it's over.

172

Anyway, it's a beautiful language and I'm glad I've taken it up.

173

Now listen again.

174

How are you getting on with your Welsh language course?

175

184

Ten.

185

You will hear a woman telling her colleague about her weekend.

186

Morning.

187

So, how was your weekend?

188

We went to the city for the day, to the new outdoor street market everyone's talking about.

189

It never stopped raining though, me all got very wet.

190

I was happy to leave.

191

Both the kids spent the next day coughing the whole time.

192

That meant we just sat on the sofa watching TV all afternoon, which was something I really needed to do, despite all the arguments about what to watch.

193

We did eventually manage to find a couple of films that everyone would be satisfied with.

194

Now listen again.

195

204

11. You will hear two friends.

205

Talking about a new restaurant.

206

Have you been to the new restaurant on the high street?

207

Yes, I guess it wasn't too bad.

208

I thought the food was pretty good value at least.

209

It's true, they don't charge too much.

210

The service was slow though when I went.

211

The waiter had to apologise.

212

I don't mind waiting when the food's all freshly cooked, but it was quick enough when I went.

213

That was just it.

214

Everything seemed to either be out of a tin or frozen stuff heated up in a microwave.

215

Such a shame, but you're absolutely right.

216

Even if it isn't an expensive place to eat.

217

Now listen again.

218

Have you been to the new restaurant on the high street?

219

Yes.

220

231

Twelve.

232

You will hear two old friends talking at a party.

233

Oh, hi!

234

John, it is you.

235

I thought so.

236

I'd recognise that jacket anywhere.

237

You know it's always been my favourite.

238

Yes, but I thought you'd have a new one after all these years.

239

Why bother if it still fits as well as ever?

240

After all, fashion has never interested me that much.

241

I see you have to wear glasses now as well.

242

I'm still not really used to mine.

243

But they look good on you, particularly now you've shaved your beard.

244

Thanks.

245

Anyway, what have you been doing since I last saw you?

246

You look well.

247

Now listen again.

248

Oh, hi!

249

John, it is you.

250

I thought so.

251

I'd recognise that jacket anywhere.

252

261

262

13. You will hear two colleagues talking about a meeting.

263

Where's this afternoon's meeting?

264

Well, it was supposed to be upstairs, but surely we're not going to have it now that John's off sick.

265

Oh?

266

I've heard we're going to carry on as planned.

267

I can't believe that.

268

Without John?

269

Oh well, I'm ready for it.

270

I'm doing my presentation and I think everyone will like it.

271

I'm sure you'll be great.

272

Did it take long to prepare?

273

To be honest, I spent ages on it.

274

That was fine, but my laptop kept shutting down while I was preparing it.

275

That made me really mad.

276

Oh dear.

277

Now listen again.

278

great.

279

Did it take long to prepare?

280

To be honest, I spent ages on it.

281

That was fine, but my laptop kept shutting down while I was preparing it.

282

That made me really mad.

283

Oh dear.

284

That is the end of part two.

285

I'll look at part three.

286

For each question, write the correct answer in the gap.

287

Write one or two words, or a number, or a date, or a time.

288

Look at questions 14 to 19 now.

289

You have 20 seconds.

290

You will hear a man giving information to people who are starting a one-week singing course.

291

Hello, everyone.

292

I'm delighted you've chosen to do this one-week singing course.

293

Before we start, I'll give you some important information.

294

First of all, your teachers.

295

As you know, we're running classes in two different singing styles, and each has its own teacher.

296

The jazz course will be taught by Robert Park.

297

Some of you will remember him from last year.

298

And Susan Broccoli will teach you to sing songs from famous musicals.

299

Her surname spelt B-R-O-K-L-E-Y.

300

The course highlight is the concert for family and friends on Friday.

301

It'll begin at half past eight, but if your guests want to get the best seats to watch you, theatre doors open at eight o'clock.

302

On the night of the concert, we want you to feel relaxed.

303

T-shirts are fine, but we ask that they're blue so everyone looks similar.

304

The traditional colour for concerts is black, of course, but we think that's a bit dark.

305

You'll enjoy performing, I'm sure.

306

Now for some other information.

307

To find your way around the building, you can always ask your teachers or the security guard if you need help.

308

There's also a map showing where all the rooms are, which you can get from the receptionist.

309

I'll introduce you in a moment.

310

The lunch break will be at 1pm.

311

313

with a view of the garden next door.

314

If anyone's using the public car park, there's a charge.

315

A monthly pass costs £20.

316

As you're only here for a week, it's cheaper to pay daily, which is £3, so that'll only cost you £15 in total.

317

OK?

318

So, any questions?

319

I'll listen again.

320

354

You will hear an interview with a man called Mickey Diaz, who is talking about his work as a hairdresser.

355

Welcome to the careers interview.

356

Today we're talking to Mickey Diaz, who'll tell us what it's like to work as a hairdresser.

357

Mickey, why did you become a hairdresser?

358

Both my parents were hairdressers and worked with lots of well-known TV stars, but I really expected to do something completely different.

359

It was after college, when I was looking for work, that a friend said I could help in his hairdresser shop.

360

So I did, and I ended up staying.

361

So, what's a normal working day like?

362

Busy.

363

I get in early.

364

We decide who's going to do which jobs each day.

365

it's best if we mix things up, do a few women's cuts, a few men's, some colour.

366

Stopping for a coffee or a rest can be difficult, but I always make time for that.

367

I often stay late to prepare things for the next day too, but that's fine with me.

368

What's the best part of the job?

369

I really enjoy exchanging news with the people who come back regularly for haircuts.

370

Sometimes they want a new style and ask me to be creative.

371

I'm not keen on doing that.

372

I prefer to show show people pictures of the latest haircuts and get them to choose one instead.

373

So, is there anything you don't like about your job?

374

Some hairdressers get upset if customers are rude, but I never let anyone bother me.

375

We have to take health and safety courses, which I find extremely dull, but I know they're necessary.

376

I'm also responsible for training new colleagues at the shop.

377

I prefer cutting hair.

378

I don't mind sharing my knowledge, though.

379

I see.

380

How does it feel when you've finished a haircut?

381

It's very important to me to get a haircut right, but when the customer walks out of the door, their hair's already growing back.

382

I know I won't see that exact same cut again, which is a shame.

383

I usually feel there's something I could do better, so I'm always trying to improve, to keep customers satisfied.

384

Finally, any advice for people who'd like to become hairdressers?

385

You can study hairdressing at college, but you don't learn as much as you would in a full-time job.

386

People often think hairdressing's badly paid but the money can actually be quite good with tips added.

387

Never forget that you're only as good as your last haircut.

388

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they've learned all there is to learn.

389

That's rarely true.

390

Well, Mickey, thank you so much for being here.

391

FOR YOU

Что вы узнаете

Этот видеоролик поможет вам улучшить навыки понимания устной речи в повседневных ситуациях, а также научиться выделять ключевую информацию. Например, вы узнаете, как определить место потери предмета по разговору или понять тему предстоящей лекции. Эти навыки критически важны для сдачи экзамена B1 Preliminary (PET) и повседневного общения.

Слушайте за этими звуками

В диалогах часто встречаются примеры связной речи. Например, фраза "I probably left it there" звучит как "I prob'ly left it there" (сокращение "probably" до "prob'ly"). Также обратите внимание на сцепление слов: "got off the" становится "got off th'" и "went to sit" — "wen t'sit". Эти особенности делают речь более естественной, и научиться их распознавать поможет тренировка "shadow speak" (отражательная речь).

Говорите, как носитель

Чтобы подражать ритму и ударениям носителей, используйте технику "shadowing" (отражения). Сначала слушайте короткие отрывки диалога, затем повторяйте их сразу же, пытаясь скопировать интонацию и темп. Например, в фразе "I remember putting my wallet down" ударение падает на "remember" и "wallet", а в "Wildflowers in parks and gardens" — на "Wildflowers" и "gardens". Практика на "shadowing site" поможет вам улучшить эту навык. Не бойтесь ошибок — постоянство делает мастером!

Также обратите внимание на модуляцию голоса: в вопросах интонация поднимается в конце, а в утвердительных предложениях — спускается. Это помогает передать эмоции и смысл, как в диалоге о потерянном кошельке или выборе обеда. Тренируйтесь каждый день, и вы увидите прогресс!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
