Practice Test 1.

You will hear a number of different recordings, and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.

There will be time for you to read the instructions 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 of your question booklet.

Section one.

You will hear a telephone conversation between a woman and a police officer.

First, look at questions 1 to 5.

For each of the questions, four alternatives are given.

Decide which of the alternatives, A, B, C or D, best fits what you hear on the tape and circle the appropriate letter.

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

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

Good evening, City Blue Station.

Can I help you?

Oh, hello.

I'd like to report a stolen briefcase, please.

Just a minute and I'll put you through.

The woman says she wants to report a stolen briefcase.

So A has been circled.

Now we shall begin.

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

Now listen carefully to the first part of the conversation and answer questions 1 to 5 Good evening,

City Blue Station.

Can I help you?

Oh, hello.

I'd like to report a stolen briefcase, please.

Just a minute and I'll put you through.

Lost property, can I help you?

Oh, yes I've had my briefcase stolen Okay, I'll take some details Tell me what it looks like,

first of all Well, it's a soft leather one You know,

not a heavy box type like a man's And how does it close?

It's got buckles at the front Two of them They're gold-plated ones Fine Was it locked?

No, I'm afraid not Never mind Any distinguishing features?

Pardon?

Any marks or badges on it that make it stand out?

Only the brand name And where's that?

It's on the back At the bottom in the left hand corner It's saggy Oh, and there's a scratch It's quite bad,

but small Directly above the brand name I did it recently putting it on my bike I've got that.

So, what did you have inside the briefcase?

Well, all my papers from college.

It's so frustrating, but thank goodness for computers.

I haven't lost them completely.

Yes, you're lucky.

I had my wallet in my pocket, so I didn't lose that.

But there were also my pens, which I got for my birthday, and a novel I was planning to read on the train.

Right.

Where exactly did you lose the briefcase?

Well, I couldn't believe it.

I was standing on the platform.

It was right next to me.

You were holding it?

I'd just put it down on the floor, but I could almost feel it beside me.

I was watching for my train because sometimes it comes early, and then next time I looked, my briefcase wasn't there.

And what time was this?

Er, it was...

It must have been about 5.20.

No, a bit later.

I'd say 5.30 because it was just getting crowded and the train normally comes at about 25 to 6.

Before they continue their conversation, look at questions 6 to 10.

As you listen to the rest of the conversation, complete the form by filling in the numbered spaces 6 to 10.

Right, if you'll just give me some personal details.

Yes?

What name is it?

I'm Mary Prescott.

Can you spell that?

Yes, it's P-R-E-S-C-O-T.

And your address?

Flat 2, 41 Fountain Road, Canterbury.

Fountain Road?

Yes, number 41.

And have you got a contact telephone number?

Yes, it's 752239.

752239. Fine.

One last question.

What would you say the value of your briefcase is?

Including the contents?

Yes.

Just a rough estimate is fine.

I'm not sure.

Well, the briefcase itself is quite new.

I bought it last month for £40.

I suppose about £65.

The contents are worth about £20 or £25 at least.

That's fine.

Well, if you could come down to the station tomorrow, you can sign this form and have a look at what we've got here.

Okay, thanks.

Bye.

Goodbye.

That is the end of Section 1.

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Now turn to section 2 Section 2 You are going to hear a news report from an Australian radio programme

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 13 So,

100

I'll listen to the news headlines and tick the three other items which I mentioned.

101

This is the 6 o'clock news for Tuesday the 25th of November.

102

And first the headlines.

103

The Prime Minister has promised to help the drought-stricken farmers in

104

the northern part of the country who haven't seen rain for nearly two years.

105

And in Sydney, a group of schoolchildren are successfully rescued from a plane which landed in the sea shortly after take-off.

106

Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne over a pay claim and the strike looks set to spread to other states.

107

And on a fashionable note, there's to be a new look for the staff of Qantas, Australia's national airline.

108

Now you have some time to look at questions 14 to 21.

109

As you listen to the rest of the news, complete the notes and the spaces provided.

110

The Prime Minister has pledged today

111

that he will make $250 million available to help the drought-stricken farmers

112

who have not seen rain for years get through the next five years.

113

Money

114

that was to have been spent on the restructuring of Sydney's

115

road system has been reallocated to what the Prime Minister described as a more worthy cause.

116

Farmers are to receive financial assistance to help see them through the worst drought in over 50 years.

117

Many farmers feel that while the money is welcome, it has come too late to save them and their farms from financial ruin, and are angry that the government did not act sooner.

118

A group of school children, who were travelling in a privately chartered aeroplane from Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert,

119

found themselves swimming for the shore

120

when their aeroplane had to land in the sea just three minutes after taking off from Sydney Airport.

121

The pilot managed to bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of Botany Bay, where boats and pleasure craft were able to come to the rescue of the boys.

122

The fact that it was a weekend meant that there were hundreds of boats in the bay enjoying the good weather, and this undoubtedly helped the rescue operation.

123

We owe our lives to the skill of the pilot, said one of the boys, but the pilot replied modestly that it was all part of a day's work.

124

However, all their musical instruments were lost, and they never got to play at the concert.

125

That is the end of Section 2.

126

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

127

Now turn to section 3.

128

Section 3.

129

In this section, you will hear a conversation between a university student and a university lecturer.

130

Look at questions 22 to 25.

131

For each of the questions, four alternatives are given.

132

Decide which of the alternatives best fits what you hear on the tape, and circle the appropriate letter.

133

Hello.

134

Can I come in?

135

Oh, yes, come in.

136

How can I help you?

137

I was looking for the economics office.

138

I've been all over the arts faculty building looking for it, but I could only find the School of Accounting and Economic History.

139

Is this the right place?

140

Yes, this is the School of Economics.

141

Oh, good.

142

Um, I'm a new student, and I was wondering if someone could give me some information.

143

Well, I might be able to help.

144

I lecture on that programme.

145

What do you need to know?

146

Quite a few things, actually.

147

Firstly, how many lectures a week do I have to attend?

148

Oh, well, the Economics 1 course is a double unit.

149

So there are two lectures a week and one tutorial.

150

The lectures are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday.

151

What time?

152

Oh, let me see.

153

Um, you know, this information is all in the handout, which you should have received yesterday at the orientation meeting.

154

Uh, oh, was there a meeting yesterday?

155

I didn't know about that.

156

No one mentioned...

157

Yes, there was.

158

But never mind.

159

Now, lectures are at four in the afternoon.

160

Oh, four's a bit late.

161

I've got a part-time job that starts at 4.30.

162

Well, you can't go in two places at once, can you?

163

And attendance at lectures is necessary.

164

We expect at least 90% attendance at this university, you know?

165

90%?

166

That's high.

167

Do they enforce that rule?

168

Yes, we do.

169

We're pretty strict about it, actually.

170

And what times have been set down for the tutorials?

171

Do you have that information?

172

That's a very well-attended course, so there's a number of tutorial times.

173

Um, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, all at nine o'clock.

174

Yours will be allocated at the first lecture.

175

Can't I choose the time?

176

Maybe, maybe not.

177

You'll have to talk to the lecturer on the course.

178

Dr. Roberts is his name.

179

Oh, okay.

180

Now look at questions 26 to 31.

181

Thank you.

182

provided.

183

Anything else I can help you with while you're here?

184

Well, yes, actually.

185

Do you know what the course requirements are?

186

I mean, how much work is expected for this course?

187

Well, you have to complete a tutorial paper.

188

What does that involve?

189

Well, it's a piece of work on a given topic based on some set reading tests.

190

You'll have to give a small talk to your tutorial group.

191

Oh, how long does that have to be?

192

Oh, about 25 minutes, usually.

193

I have to talk for 25 minutes?

194

Yes, that's fine.

195

And then you have to write up your piece of work and give it to the lecturer to be marked.

196

Right.

197

And is that all?

198

No. You also have to complete a 3,000-word essay on a topic.

199

Can I choose the topic?

200

Yes.

201

Usually you can.

202

Right.

203

That shouldn't be too bad.

204

And in addition to that, there is an exam.

205

An exam?

206

What sort of exam?

207

Well, it's an open book exam.

208

Does that mean I can have the textbook with me during the exam?

209

Yes, that's right.

210

And can you give me any idea about the content of the first year of economics, so that I can get into some reading?

211

Well, you'll be getting the reading list next week when lectures start.

212

All the books are in the library.

213

Yes, but won't everyone else take them out as soon as they get the reading list, too?

214

Well, yes, they might.

215

But most of the important ones are held in closed reserves.

216

That's a part of the library where you can go to read books, but you can't take them out of the building.

217

What did you call that section of the library?

218

Closed reserve.

219

However, we do recommend that you buy the core books.

220

You'll find them useful and you'll need them for the exam.

221

Yes, I suppose I will.

222

But what is the focus of the course?

223

Well, the course at this university has a vocational focus.

224

That is, a focus on preparing its graduates for work.

225

So we're orientated very much towards employment.

226

Oh, so my chances of getting a job are good.

227

Well, provided you get good results.

228

Well, look, thanks for your time.

229

You've been really helpful.

230

That's fine.

231

See you next week, then.

232

That is the end of Section 3.

233

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

234

Now turn to section 4.

235

Section 4 You will hear a talk given by a university lecturer about the structure of the university.

236

First, look at questions 32 to 36.

237

Now listen and answer questions 32 to 36.

238

Good morning and welcome to the University of Westlands.

239

My name is Marcia Mayhew and I'm the coordinator of the Bachelor of Social Science degree.

240

This morning I'd like to tell you about the structure of the university

241

and about some of the requirements of the degree that you're about to enter.

242

The Bachelor of Social Science is in one faculty within the university.

243

That is the faculty where I work, known as Arts and Social Sciences.

244

Here on this campus we also have the faculties of Architecture, Law and Science and Technology, among others.

245

It's important to know something about the structure of the faculty because as you go through your course, you may need to call on members of the staff to help you.

246

At the top of the faculty, we have a dean, and below the dean, we have three divisions.

247

Each division has a divisional head, and your degree is located in the Division of Social Sciences.

248

Within each of the divisions, there are the departments, and each of these offers the different degrees.

249

For instance, two of the departments which offer the major subjects for your award are sociology and psychology.

250

Each has a departmental head, but for practical purposes,

251

the people you are going to see the most of are myself as coordinator of the social sciences degree,

252

and the actual lecturers who are teaching the subjects that you are taking.

253

For instance, in the first semester, you'll be doing four subjects.

254

Psychology, Sociology, History and Economics.

255

If you have any problems or difficulties, not that I'm anticipating you will, but you never know, then you should go and see your lecturers.

256

For instance, you may find that you can't meet a deadline for an essay or perhaps you're having problems with attendance.

257

These seem to be the two most common problems that students face.

258

Now look at questions 37 to 41.

259

Thank you.

260

As you listen to the rest of the talk, answer the questions 37 to 41.

261

If your lecturers are unavailable, you can always come and see me in my office.

262

I'm available on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and on Friday afternoons.

263

Outside these hours, perhaps you could ring the secretary and make an appointment.

264

Now, you'll note that all of the subjects which you undertake in the first year are composed of lectures and tutorials.

265

A lecture is about an hour long, and a tutorial usually runs for about two hours.

266

A lecture is rather like what I'm doing now, where one person will talk to all of you together on a subject.

267

Now, we do ask you to try to attend the lectures.

268

A tutorial is perhaps where most of the learning occurs at a university.

269

You will be divided into groups of between 12 and 15 students,

270

and each week one of you will have to present a piece of work to the group as a whole, and then the group will discuss what you've said.

271

It's this discussion, this exchange of ideas which really constitutes the basis of university learning in my view.

272

Listening to lectures in many ways is just giving you information that you could access for yourself in the library.

273

But the discussion at the tutorial is very important.

274

This doesn't mean that you shouldn't go to the lectures though.

275

Other factors to be particularly concerned about are the structure of essays

276

and delivery of written material and in particular I would like to mention the question of plagiarism.

277

Plagiarism is taking other people's work without acknowledging it.

278

That is, without saying where it comes from.

279

Now of course all essays are based on research done by other people

280

but you must remember to attribute the work to the original writer.

281

And while it's a good idea to work with other people, don't hand in work which is exactly the same as your friends work

282

because we will notice

283

if you don't acknowledge the source of your information then you run the risk of failing the subject

284

or in very serious cases you might be denied entry to the University last

285

but not least stay in touch with us

286

if things are getting you down don't go and hide come and talk to us about it that's what we're here for.

287

Right.

288

Thank you very much for coming along today.

289

That is the end of Section 4.

290

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

291

That is the end of the listening test.

292

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

293

Thank you.

294

Thank you.

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.
