Test 4.

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 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

Now turn to part one.

Part one.

You will hear a supervisor in a supermarket talking to a new worker on her first day.

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

Thank you.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.

Hello, Charlotte.

I'm Caden, one of the supervisors.

Welcome to the team.

Hi, Aidan.

It's Caden.

I'm so sorry.

Don't worry.

People often get my name wrong.

They never know how to spell it.

It's K -A -E -D -E -N, in case you ever need to write it.

I'll try and remember.

So, there are a few practical things you need to sort out this morning.

Then I'll show you what you're going to do today.

The email I received said to go to the front desk to show my letter of appointment and pick up my badge.

You'll need that for the staff room and other areas of the supermarket where shoppers aren't allowed.

So, after you've finished at the front desk, I'll take you to the staff room.

Put your coat and rucksack in one of the lockers there.

Take whichever one is free.

Will I have a key?

Yes.

Try not to lose it.

At the end of the day, leave it in the door for the next person to use. Will do.

You also need to go to the HR department to see Tiffany.

She's really helpful.

I was told to bring my passport with me.

HR need to take a note of the number in it.

That's right.

Or you can show your ID card.

I don't have one of those.

OK.

Tiffany will give you a uniform.

They have lots in different sizes, so you just tell her what you need.

I won't come with you to HR.

I've got to go and sort something else out.

Um, problem with a bread slicer.

Is the HR office near the staff room?

The staff room's on the first floor, and HR are a couple of floors above that, on the third floor.

There's a staircase outside the staff room.

OK.

When you're finished with HR, come and find me in the bakery section of the shop.

I'm looking forward to getting started.

I'll just give you my phone number in case you can't find me.

Have you got your phone there?

Yes.

OK.

Ready?

It's 0412 665903.

OK.

Done.

OK.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.

Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.

So, Charlotte, your tasks today are in the bakery section, on the sushi counter and on the meat and fish counters.

The first job is to check sell -by dates on the bread and cakes.

If any of the dates are today's, put a new price label on the packaging.

What if any of the labels are yesterday's dates or older?

Do I throw those items away?

Yes, but that shouldn't happen.

We check the stock every day.

When something needs a new price label, put a yellow one on the package next to the original price.

OK.

After that you'll go to the sushi takeaway counter.

Will I be preparing boxes of food?

For today you'll just be helping the staff.

Yes, of course.

You'll see lots of flat cardboard boxes at one end of the counter.

Beneath those is where we keep the plastic boxes.

We run out of those really quickly so you should bring more from the storeroom.

Is that my only task on the sushi counter?

No, you also need to clean the area where they prepare the dishes.

There are cloths and bottles of spray by the sink.

Oh, and please make sure you clean that, too.

Sure.

That's important, isn't it?

Absolutely.

But you mustn't wash up knives.

You have to do some training before you're allowed to touch sharp objects.

What should I do if there are any?

Ask someone to put them in the dishwasher.

OK, thanks.

I don't want to get anything wrong.

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

And I'll be around to help.

Right.

Er, finally the meat and fish counters.

You need to clean the area where staff serve customers, including wiping the weighing scales.

100

OK.

101

Anything else?

102

Erm, the fish is laid on ice, but when that starts to melt you'll need to get more from the cauldron.

103

I know the staff on the food counters wear a hat.

104

Will that be the same for me?

105

You won't be serving customers directly, so no. But make sure you put on thermal gloves when you take anything out of the cold room.

106

The temperature's low enough in there to get frostbite from touching things.

107

Understood.

108

advice about taking up running and giving information about her club.

109

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

110

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.

111

My name's Liz Fuller and I'm a running coach with Compton Park Runners Club.

112

Welcome to my podcast.

113

If you're thinking about taking up running, I'm here to help.

114

There are many training programmes available online which aim to help people build up to running five kilometres.

115

Some of them are great

116

and thousands of people of all ages are taking part in five kilometre races across the country as a result.

117

People like them because they're easy to follow and don't push them too hard.

118

However, they don't work for everyone, especially if you suffer from something like a heart condition or asthma,

119

because they're aimed at people with average fitness and running ability.

120

Another thing is that everyone is different, and if you have any specific questions related to your needs, there's no one to provide any answers.

121

I have a couple of simple tips I always give to new runners.

122

I expect you've been told to run very slowly until your fitness increases.

123

Well, I find that can prevent progress.

124

You should run at a speed that feels comfortable, but time yourself and try to run a bit faster each time.

125

Listening to music can be very helpful.

126

It takes your mind off things and helps your body get into a rhythm.

127

I'd say that is better than running with a friend, especially as most people are competitive and that's not what you want when you're just starting.

128

I don't think the time of day is especially important.

129

Some people are better in the evening while others are morning people.

130

But you need to be consistent, so aim to train regularly.

131

Twice a week is enough to begin with.

132

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

133

Thank you.

134

Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.

135

New members often say to me that they've been put off running either

136

because they lack confidence or they don't have time or they think they dislike running.

137

Kerry, for example, joined the club two years ago at the age of 40.

138

She'd always enjoyed running at school, but wasn't sure if she'd be able to do it.

139

She was worried about being left behind and being the slowest runner.

140

But, she says, she was made to feel so welcome, she soon forgot all about that.

141

James had always hated the idea of running, but a friend encouraged him to come along for a taster session and he hasn't looked back.

142

He never misses a training session, despite having a really demanding job.

143

Leo was worried about having to commit himself to training sessions every week

144

and wasn't sure he'd be able to fit training into his busy schedule.

145

But, after experiencing a lot of stress at work, he came along to us and gave it a go.

146

Now he says he feels much more relaxed and he looks forward to his weekly run.

147

Mark is quite typical of our new members.

148

He's never considered himself to be a sporty person

149

and it was only when he retired that he decided to take up the challenge of trying to run five kilometres.

150

It took him months to find the courage to contact us but felt reassured immediately,

151

as there were other people his age who were only just taking up running for the first time.

152

My own journey hasn't been easy.

153

I did my first marathon when I was 37, after having had two kids.

154

My husband had been running marathons for years, but I never dreamed I'd be doing one with him.

155

I managed to complete it in four hours, but I felt like giving up halfway through.

156

It was only the support of the spectators that kept me going.

157

I do think signing up for a race of whatever length is motivating, whether it's 5k or 25k,

158

because it's good to have something to work towards and it gives you a sense of achievement.

159

I did my first 10k after only six months, which was certainly very challenging and not something I'd necessarily recommend.

160

But after you've been training for a few weeks, it's worth putting your name down for a 5k.

161

Some people find they only need a few practice runs before taking part in a race, but I'd give yourself a couple of months at least.

162

Well, I hope that's given you a really good idea of what...

163

That is the end of part two.

164

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.

165

Part three.

166

You will hear two students called Jane and Kieran talking about books.

167

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.

168

Thank you.

169

Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.

170

So, Jane, you'll be off to Denmark soon to do your work placement.

171

Yes, I'm really looking forward to it.

172

And I've just started packing up all my books to put in storage.

173

Well, I hope they don't get spoiled.

174

It's OK.

175

My grandfather works in a bookshop and he told me how to pack them.

176

Oh, that's helpful.

177

He says you have to support the spine, otherwise the paper can come away from the cover.

178

Yeah, that's obvious.

179

He also told me to pack them flat in the box, not on their side.

180

Again, because they can bend and if you leave them like that for,

181

say, a year, it's quite hard to get them back to their normal shape.

182

Well, it's pretty clear that ruins them.

183

But a lot of people just can't be bothered to protect their books.

184

He always says it's such a shame that publishers don't use better quality paper.

185

It's the acid in the paper that causes the problem, isn't it?

186

Yeah, that's why old books go yellow.

187

You know, some of the books my grandfather's given me are like that already.

188

Oh.

189

I should dump them, really, if they're going to deteriorate further.

190

But I'd feel bad.

191

They'll always remind me of him.

192

He's quite a collector, you know.

193

Well, if they're important to you.

194

Yeah, I'd regret just throwing them away.

195

You know, maybe it's because I was taught to treasure books, but I hate seeing students force open the pages of paperbacks.

196

They press so hard they end up breaking the spine.

197

I know.

198

But unfortunately, paperbacks aren't designed to last a long time, and people know that.

199

Hardbacks aren't quite as weak.

200

Yeah, they're different, I suppose.

201

But I still don't think people value hardbacks like they used to.

202

Well, they aren't decorative, are they, like other objects?

203

Plus, nowadays, people don't keep them out on shelves as much as they used to.

204

That's such a pity.

205

When I visit someone, if they have, say, a colourful book on a table, it's the first thing I'm drawn to.

206

I agree.

207

And book covers can be a work of art in themselves.

208

Some are really eye -catching.

209

I've always been taught to handle books carefully.

210

If you watch someone take a book off a shelf, well, they usually do it wrong.

211

My grandfather says you should put your hand right over the top of the book.

212

Or, if you can't do that, pull the other books on the shelf aside, so that you can hold the whole cover.

213

When did you learn all this?

214

He watched me pull a heavy book off the shelf

215

when I was small and it fell on the floor and broke apart

216

Oh dear I can still remember it

217

You know what I really like?

218

What?

219

The smell of new books

220

Me too My parents used to laugh at me

221

when I was a kid because I loved putting books up to my nose almost as much as reading them

222

New books aren't cheap though, are they?

223

I guess we're lucky we can buy them

224

My grandfather stocks second -hand books as well as new ones, and they don't smell quite as good.

225

Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.

226

Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.

227

I'd love to have a bookshop like your grandfather.

228

What's it like?

229

Well, it's quite big.

230

It's got two floors and an attic.

231

And he stocks all kinds of books, really.

232

I guess he treasures things like first editions and other rare books.

233

Yeah, you might think he'd keep those in the attic or somewhere.

234

So they'd be hidden?

235

Yeah, but he likes people to know that he has them.

236

So he puts them out in the shop, but makes sure you need a ladder to get them.

237

Right, that would prevent any thefts.

238

Uh -huh.

239

Does he stock books for children?

240

He does.

241

He particularly likes to encourage kids to read.

242

He always says

243

that he used to sit under the stairs as a child with a pile of books and read them all.

244

Is that where he keeps them then?

245

Not exactly.

246

He's got a dedicated area on the ground floor with cushions so that parents can enter with their toddlers,

247

go there and spend some time reading to them.

248

Oh, cool.

249

And then there's a place for pushchairs by the front door.

250

and a cafe if anyone needs refreshments.

251

That's good to know.

252

As I said, it's a big shop, and there's a storage area out the back as well.

253

Oh, what does he keep there?

254

Books he wants to throw away?

255

He hardly ever throws anything away.

256

He just leaves unwanted books by the front door for customers to take.

257

Well, that's very nice.

258

Yeah, and books people or institutions have requested, they all go at the far end.

259

Oh.

260

He thinks it's best to keep these out of the main shopping area as they're boxed and new.

261

Did you get your course books from him?

262

Naturally.

263

He stocks books for a lot of the colleges.

264

He used to keep these books on the first floor, but now there's a new university in my hometown.

265

He's moved them downstairs to attract the students.

266

They're actually part of the coffee shop on low shelves all around it.

267

Pretty central then.

268

You'll have to take me there sometime.

269

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part 3.

270

Part 4.

271

You will hear part of an environmental studies lecture on tree planting.

272

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

273

Thank you.

274

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

275

Tree planting now dominates political and popular agendas, and is often presented as an easy answer to the climate crisis,

276

as well as a way for business corporations to offset their carbon emissions.

277

But unfortunately, tree planting isn't as straightforward as some people think.

278

When the wrong trees are planted in the wrong place, it can do considerably more damage than good,

279

failing to help either people or the environment.

280

Reforestation projects are currently being undertaken on a huge scale in many countries, and it's crucial that the right trees are selected.

281

A mix of species should always be planted,

282

typical of the local natural forest ecosystem and including rare and endangered species in order to create a rich ecosystem.

283

It's important to avoid non -native species that could become invasive.

284

Invasive species are a significant contributor to the current global biodiversity crisis,

285

and are often in competition with native species and may threaten their long -term survival.

286

Restoring biodiversity that will maximise carbon capture is key when reforesting an area,

287

but ideally any reforestation project should have several goals.

288

These could include selecting trees that can contribute to wildlife conservation,

289

improve the availability of food for the local community, and maintain the stability of soil systems.

290

Meeting as many of these goals as possible, whilst doing no harm to local communities,

291

native ecosystems and vulnerable species, is the sign of a highly successful tree planting scheme.

292

To ensure the survival and resilience of a planted forest,

293

it's vital to use tree seeds with appropriate levels of genetic diversity,

294

the amount of genetic variation found within a species essential for their survival.

295

Using seeds with low genetic diversity generally lowers the resilience of restored forests,

296

which can make them vulnerable to disease and unable to adapt to climate change.

297

Choosing the right location for reforestation projects is as important as choosing the right trees.

298

Ultimately, the best area for planting trees would be informally forested areas that are in poor condition.

299

It's better to avoid non -forested landscapes, such as natural grasslands, savannas or wetlands,

300

as these ecosystems already contribute greatly to capturing carbon.

301

It would also be advantageous to choose an area where trees could provide other benefits, such as recreational spaces.

302

Reforesting areas which are currently exploited for agriculture should be avoided,

303

as this often leads to other areas being deforested reforested.

304

Large -scale reforestation projects require careful planning.

305

Making the right decisions about where to plant trees depends on having the right information.

306

Having detailed and up -to -date maps identifying high -priority areas for intervention is essential.

307

Drone technology is a useful tool in helping to prioritise and monitor areas of degraded forest for restoration.

308

In Brazil, it's being used to identify and quantify how parts of the Amazon are being devastated by human activities,

309

such as rearing cattle and illegal logging.

310

A good example of where the right trees were picked to achieve a restored forest is in Lampang province in northern Thailand.

311

A previously forested site, which had been degraded through mining, was reforested by a cement company,

312

together with Chiang Mai University.

313

After spreading 60 centimetres of topsoil, they planted 14 different native tree species,

314

which included several species of fig.

315

Figs are a keystone species because of the critical role they play in maintaining wildlife populations.

316

They are central to tropical reforestation projects as they accelerate the speed of the recovery process by attracting animals

317

and birds which act as natural seed dispersers.

318

This helps to promote diversity through the healthy regrowth of a wide range of plant species.

319

Unlike the majority of fruit trees, figs bear fruit all year round.

320

providing a reliable food source for many species.

321

At this site, for example, after only three rainy seasons, monkeys started visiting to eat the fig fruits,

322

naturally dispersing seeds through defecation.

323

Reforestation projects should always aim to make sure that local communities are consulted and involved in the decision -making process.

324

The restoration of mangrove forests in Madagascar is an example of a project

325

which has succeeded in creating real benefits for the community.

326

Destruction of the mangrove forests had a terrible impact on plant and animal life,

327

and also badly affected the fishing industry, which was a major source of employment for local people living in coastal areas.

328

The reforestation project involved hiring local people to plant and care for the new mangrove trees.

329

Millions of mangrove trees have now been planted, which has resulted in the return of a healthy aquatic ecosystem.

330

The mangroves also act as a defence against the increased threat of flooding caused by climate change.

331

What's more, the local economy is more stable and thousands more Madagascans are now able to send their children to school.

332

One other important point to consider...

333

That is the end of part four.

334

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.
