Test 3.

This is the IELTS listening test.

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 parts.

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

Now turn to part one.

Part one.

You will hear a woman phoning to ask about a summer cycling camp for her young son, who is called Charlie.

First, you have some time to look at questions one to five.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.

Hello, Junia Cycle Camp, Jake speaking.

Hi, I'm calling for some information about the Cycle Camp.

I'm thinking of sending my son.

Great.

Well, it's held every weekday morning over the summer vacation, and we focus on basic cycling skills and safety.

We have eight levels for children from three years upwards.

How old's your son?

Charlie, he's seven.

He can ride a bike, but he needs a little more training before he's safe to go on the road.

He'd probably be best in level five.

They start off practicing on the site here, and we aim to get them riding on the road.

But first, they're taken to ride in the park, away from the traffic.

Right.

And can you tell me a bit about the instructors?

Well, all our staff wear different colored shirts.

So we have three supervisors, and they have red shirts.

They support the instructors, and they also stand in for me if I'm not around.

Then the instructors themselves are in blue shirts,

and one of these is responsible for each class.

Okay.

In order to be accepted,

all our instructors have to submit a reference from someone who's seen them work with children,

like if they've worked as a babysitter, for example.

Then they have to complete our training course,

including how to do lesson plans and generally care for the well -being of the kids in their class.

They do a great job, I have to say.

Right.

And tell me a bit about the classes.

What size will Charlie's class be?

We have a limit of eight children in each class.

so their instructor really gets to know them well.

They're out riding most of the time, but they have quiet times,

too, where their instructor might tell them a story that's got something to do with cycling

or get them to play a game together.

It's a lot of fun.

It must be.

Now, what happens if there's rain?

Do the classes still run?

Oh, yes.

We don't let that put us off.

We just put on our waterproofs and keep cycling.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.

Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.

And is there anything special Charlie should bring along with him?

Well, maybe some spare clothes, especially if the weather's not so good.

And a snack for break time?

How about a drink?

No, we'll provide that.

And make sure he has shoes, not sandals.

Sure.

And just at present, Charlie has to take medication every few hours, so I'll make sure he has that.

Absolutely.

Just give us details of when he has to take it, and we'll make sure he does.

Thanks.

Now, there are a few things you should know about day one of the camp.

The classes normally start at 9 .30 every morning,

but on day one, you should aim to get Charlie here by 9 .20.

The finishing time will be 12 .30 as usual.

We need the additional time because there are a few extra things to do.

The most important is that we have a very careful check to make sure that every child's helmet fits properly.

If it doesn't fit, we'll try to adjust it, or we'll find him another one.

But he must wear it all the time he's on the bike. Of course.

Then, after that, all the instructors will be waiting to meet their classes.

and they'll meet up in the tent.

You can't miss it, and each instructor will take their class away and get started.

Okay, well, that all sounds good.

Now, can you tell me how much the camp costs a week?

$199.

We've managed to keep the price more or less the same as last year.

It was one hundred ninety then, but the places are filling up quite quickly.

Right.

Okay, well, I'd like to book further.

That is the end of part one.

You now have half a minute to check your answers to part one.

Part 2 You will hear a recruitment officer called Megan Baker

giving a talk at a jobs fair about opportunities for those interested in the food and agriculture sectors.

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

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.

Hello everyone, my name's Megan Baker and I'm a recruitment consultant at AVT Recruitment Specialists.

Now, our company specialises in positions that involve working in the agriculture and horticulture sectors.

So that's fresh food production, garden and park maintenance, and so on.

And these sectors do provide some very special career opportunities.

For a start, they often offer opportunities for those who don't want to be stuck with a 40 -hour week,

but need to juggle work with other responsibilities, such as childcare.

And this is very important for many of our recruits.

Some people like working in a rural setting.

100

surrounded by plants and trees instead of buildings, although we can't guarantee that.

101

But there are certainly health benefits, especially in jobs where you're not sitting all day looking at a screen, a big plus for many people.

102

Salaries can sometimes be good too, although there's a lot of variety here.

103

And you may have the opportunity in some types of jobs for travel overseas, although that obviously depends on the job,

104

and not everyone is keen to do it.

105

Of course, working outdoors does have its challenges.

106

It's fine in summer, but can be extremely unpleasant when it's cold and windy.

107

You may need to be pretty fit for some jobs, though with modern technology, that's not as important as it once was.

108

And standards of health and safety are much higher now than they used to be so there are fewer work -related accidents.

109

But if you like a lively city environment surrounded by lots of people, these jobs are probably not for you.

110

They're often in pretty remote areas.

111

And some people worry about finding a suitable place to live, but in our experience this usually turns out fine.

112

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

113

Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.

114

Now, let me tell you about some of the exciting jobs that we have on our books right now.

115

One is for a fresh food commercial manager.

116

Our client here is a very large fresh food producer, supplying a range of top supermarkets.

117

They operate in a very fast -paced environment with low profit margins.

118

The staff there work hard, but they play hard as well.

119

So, if you've a sociable personality, this may be for you.

120

We have an exciting post as an agronomist, advising farmers on issues such as crop nutrition,

121

protection against pests, and the latest legislation on farming and agricultural practices.

122

There are good opportunities for the right person to quickly make their way up the career ladder,

123

but a deep knowledge of the agricultural sector is expected of applicants.

124

A leading supermarket is looking for a fresh produce buyer who is available for a 12 -month maternity cover contract.

125

You need to have experience in administration,

126

planning and buying in the fresh produce industry and in return will receive a very competitive salary.

127

We have also received a request for a sales manager for a chain of garden centres.

128

You will be visiting centres in the region to ensure their high levels of customer service are maintained.

129

This post is only suitable for someone who is prepared to live in the region.

130

There is also a vacancy for a tree technician to carry out tree cutting, forestry and conservation work.

131

Candidates must have a clean driving license and have training in safety procedures.

132

A year's experience would be preferred

133

but the company might be prepared to consider someone who has

134

just completed an appropriate training course finally we have a position

135

for a farm worker this will involve a wide range of farm duties including crop sowing

136

and harvesting machine maintenance

137

and animal care perks of the job include the possibility of renting a small cottage on the estate

138

and the chance to earn a competitive salary a driving license and and tractor -driving experience are essential.

139

You Part 3.

140

You will hear two food science students called Adam and Rosie starting to plan their presentation on diet and obesity.

141

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.

142

Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.

143

OK, Rosie, shall we try to get some ideas together for our presentation on diet and obesity?

144

Sure.

145

I can talk about the experiment I did to see if people can tell the difference between real sugar and artificial sweeteners.

146

Where you gave people drinks with either sugar or artificial sweeteners, and they had to say which they thought it was?

147

Yeah.

148

It took me ages to decide exactly how I'd organise it, especially how I could make sure that people didn't know which drink I was giving them.

149

It was hard to keep track of it all, especially as I had so many people doing it.

150

I had to make sure I kept a proper record of what each person had had.

151

So could most people tell the difference?

152

Yeah, I hadn't thought that they would be able to, but most people could.

153

Then there's that experiment I did, measuring the fat content of nuts, to see if the nutritional information given on the packet was accurate.

154

The one where you ground up the nuts and mixed them with a chemical to absorb the fat?

155

Yes, my results were a bit problematic.

156

The fat content for that type of nut seemed much lower than it said on the package.

157

But I reckon the package information was right.

158

I think I should probably have ground up the knots more than I did.

159

It's possible that the scales for weighing the fat weren't accurate enough too.

160

I'd really like to try the experiment again sometime.

161

Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.

162

Thank you.

163

Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.

164

So what can we say about helping people to lose weight?

165

There's a lot we could say about what restaurants could do to reduce obesity.

166

I read that the items at the start of a menu

167

and the items at the end of a menu are much more likely to be chosen than the items in the middle.

168

So, if you put the low -calorie items at the beginning and end of the menu,

169

people will probably go for the food with fewer calories without even realising what they're doing.

170

I think food manufacturers could do more to encourage healthy eating.

171

How?

172

Well, when manufacturers put calorie counts of a food on the label, they're sometimes really confusing, and I suspect they do it on purpose,

173

because food that's high in calories tastes better, and so they'll sell more.

174

Yeah, so if you look at the amount of calories in a pizza, they'll give you the calories per quarter pizza, and you think, oh, that's not too bad.

175

But who's going to eat a quarter pizza?

176

Exactly.

177

I suppose another approach to this problem is to get people to exercise more.

178

Right.

179

In England, the current guidelines offer at least 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week.

180

Now, when you ask them, about 40 % of men and 30 % of women say they do this.

181

But when you objectively measure the amount of walking they do with motion sensors,

182

you find that only 6 % of men and 4 % of women do the recommended amount of exercise.

183

So you can see why obesity is growing.

184

So how can people be encouraged to take more exercise?

185

Well, for example, think of the location of stairs in a train station.

186

If people reach the stairs before they reach the escalator when they're leaving the station, they're more likely to take the stairs.

187

And if you increase the width of the stairs, you'll get more people using them at the same time.

188

It's an unconscious process and influenced by minor modifications in their environment.

189

Right.

190

And it might not be a big change, but if it happens every day, it all adds up.

191

Yes.

192

But actually, I'm not sure if we should be talking about exercise in our presentation.

193

Well, we've done quite a bit of reading about it.

194

I know, but it's going to mean we have a very wide focus.

195

And our tutor did say that we need to focus on causes and solutions in terms of nutrition.

196

Oh, I suppose so.

197

And we've got plenty of information about that.

198

OK, well, that will be simpler.

199

So, what shall we do now?

200

We've still got half an hour before our next lecture.

201

Let's think about what we're going to include and what we'll go where.

202

Then we can decide what slides we need.

203

OK, fine.

204

That is the end of part three.

205

You now have half a minute to check your answers to part three.

206

Part 4 You will hear a lecturer on a fashion design course introducing the subject of hand knitting,

207

which involves making things like woolen jumpers and scarves.

208

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

209

Thank you.

210

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

211

Good morning, everyone.

212

So today we're going to look at an important creative activity, and that's hand knitting.

213

Ancient knitted garments have been found in many different countries,

214

showing that knitting is a global activity with a long history.

215

When someone says the word knitting, we might well picture an elderly person,

216

a grandmother perhaps, sitting by the fire knitting garments for themselves or other members of the family.

217

It's a homely image, but one that may lead you to feel that knitting is an activity of the past.

218

And indeed, during the previous decade, it was one of the skills that was predicted to vanish from everyday life.

219

For although humans have sewn and knitted their own clothing for a very long time,

220

Many of these craft -based skills went into decline when industrial machines took over,

221

mainly because they were no longer passed down from one generation to another.

222

However,

223

that's all changing, and interest in knitting classes in many countries is actually rising as more

224

and more people are seeking formal instruction in the skill.

225

With that trend we're also seeing an increase in the sales figures for knitting equipment.

226

So why do people want to be taught to knit at a time

227

when a machine can readily do the job for them?

228

The answer is that knitting as a handicraft has numerous benefits for those doing it.

229

Let's consider what some of these might be.

230

While many people knitted garments in the past because they couldn't afford to buy clothes,

231

it's still true today that knitting can be helpful if you're experiencing economic hardship.

232

If you have several children who all need warm winter clothes, knitting may save you a lot of money.

233

And the results of knitting your own clothes can be very rewarding,

234

even though the skills you need to get going are really quite basic and the financial outlay is minimal.

235

But the more significant benefits in today's world are to do with well -being.

236

In a world where it's estimated that we spend up to nine hours a day online,

237

doing something with our hands that is craft -based makes us feel good.

238

It releases us from the stress of a technological, fast -paced life.

239

Now, let's look back a bit to early knitting activities.

240

In fact, no one really knows when knitting first began,

241

but archaeological remains have disclosed plenty of information for us to think about.

242

One of the interesting things about knitting is

243

that the earliest pieces of clothing that have been found suggest that most of the items produced were round rather than flat.

244

Discoveries from the third and fourth centuries in Egypt show

245

that things like socks and gloves that were needed to keep hands

246

and feet warm were knitted in one piece using four or five needles.

247

That's very different from most knitting patterns today, which only require two.

248

What's more, the very first needles people used were hand -carved out of wood and other natural materials,

249

like bone, whereas today's needles are largely made of steel or plastic and make that characteristic clicking sound when someone's using them.

250

Ancient people knitted using yarns made from linen,

251

hemp, cotton and wool, and these were often very rough on the skin.

252

The spinning wheel, which allowed people to make finer yarns and produce much greater quantities of them,

253

led to the dominance of wool in the knitting industry, often favoured for its warmth.

254

Another interesting fact about knitting is that because it was practised in so many parts of the world,

255

for so many purposes, regional differences in style developed.

256

This visual identity has allowed researchers to match bits of knitted clothing

257

that have been unearthed over time to the region from which the wearer came, or the job that he or she did.

258

As I've mentioned, knitting offered people from poor communities a way of making extra money while doing other tasks.

259

For many centuries, it seems, men, women and children took every opportunity to knit,

260

for example, while watching over sheep.

261

walking to market, or riding in boats.

262

So, let's move on to...

263

That is the end of part four.

264

You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.

265

Thank you.

266

You That is the end of the listening test.

267

In the IELTS test, you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.

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.
