now turns to part one part one you will hear a man called tim

and a woman called laura discussing preparations for their holiday first

you have some time to look at questions one to six

Transcription by CastingWords hear the recording a second time listen carefully

and answer questions one to six our plane tickets arrived this

morning it reminded me how much there is to do before we go let's write everything down shall we

so we don't forget anything yes

and last time we went away we almost forgot to collect our currency from the bank

so let's start with that good thinking and wasn't there an appointment you said you'd got to cancel?

Yes, the hairdresser.

Thanks for reminding me.

Can you write that down too?

The shop will be closed now, but I'll do it first thing on Monday.

Okay.

Then starting on Tuesday, we've got to take the tablets we got from the pharmacy.

We really mustn't forget to do that.

We're not protected against malaria till we've been taking them for at least seven days.

No, so that's really important.

And what about shopping?

There's still a few things we've got to buy the next time we're in town.

We need some more sunblock, don't we?

We've only got that factor 10 stuff.

It won't be strong enough.

I've already bought that, but what we do still need to get is sunglasses.

The ones I've got aren't good enough, and I don't think yours are either.

Okay, I've noted that down, and I think I'm going to get another bag too, just a small one.

We always seem to come back with more things than we take.

Should we get an extra lock for our suitcase as well

just in case the one we've got breaks they don't seem

to last long yes they are a bit flimsy okay right oh yes

and we need an adapter for our electrical things your hair dryer

and my shaver the plugs on them are bound to be

the wrong type we could get one at the airport they

always have them there well i'd rather get it beforehand

so i'm writing it down and then i think that's it isn't it i think

so as far as shopping's concerned

but we also need to order a taxi to take us to the airport we should do

that well in advance my sister left it too late

and she had to take the train with

that huge suitcase of hers i know she really struggled with

it 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.

Now let's see, your mother said she'd come in regularly while we're away, so what do we want her to do?

I'll write some instructions and we can give them to her tomorrow.

Good idea.

Well, the cat's the main thing.

Okay, feed the cat.

We ought to leave her the vet's details as well, just in case there's a problem.

Yes.

Have you got them handy?

Hang on.

I'm just looking.

Yes.

His name's Colin Jeffrey.

Is that spelt with a G?

Actually, it's J -E -F -F -E -R -E -Y.

Quite an unusual spelling, isn't it?

Hmm.

And his number?

077 -594 -128.

It's a mobile.

OK.

And you should write down where it is.

It's 4th Street, not sure what number, but it's next to the bus stop, isn't it?

That's not a very good landmark, but it's on the other side of the road to the church, so I'll tell her that.

Let's hope she won't need a vet anyway.

Yes.

Right, apart from that, there are the plants to water.

Ask her to make sure they don't dry out.

Oh, yes.

And I've already mentioned a problem with the boiler, and your mum said she'd come round to meet the heating engineer and let him in.

Yes.

It's a lot for her to do, but we really need to get the problem sorted out.

And the earliest date I could get an appointment was April the 30th.

Isn't it the day after we go?

Yes, we leave on the 29th, and she'll have to hang around till the job's finished.

Oh, well, she won't mind, I'm sure.

She likes helping people out.

Yes, she does.

Okay.

That's it then, I think.

Unless you can think of anything else.

Not at the moment.

Leave the list there, and I'll add to it.

That is the end of Section 1.

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Thank you.

Before we move to the second section, if you want to practice IELTS speaking with teacher for free

now turns to part 2 part 2 you will hear a

speaker talking about saving energy in the home first you have some time to look at questions 11 to 12

Now listen, and answer questions 11 to 12.

many thanks for inviting me along to talk about saving energy

in the home this is a key issue for many people who now find themselves on tight budgets

so today i'd like to spend a few minutes going through

some simple tips to help keep those energy bills to a

minimum i'll start with some easy cheap ideas before talking about

more major solutions later i think we're all aware of the importance of insulating our homes

and although I'd advise you to get it done I appreciate

100

it can sometimes be inconvenient to have building work carried out

101

and though they're growing in popularity having solar panels installed on

102

the roof isn't a cheap enough option for many of us to consider seriously.

103

So what other steps can we take?

104

Well most people will make a point of turning the heating down when temperatures outside rise,

105

but they ignore other equally useful ways of saving energy when they're making dinner or doing their weekly laundry.

106

Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 13 to 20.

107

Now listen, and answer questions 13 to 20.

108

If you're living in a relatively new apartment or house, you're probably blessed with a cosy, draft -free living space.

109

But for those of us in older properties, the chances are there are gaps all over the place where cold air is getting in.

110

Walk around your home and place the back of your hand around window frames.

111

Can you feel cold air coming in from outside?

112

Get down on your knees at the doors.

113

Is there a draft at floor level?

114

Fix these drafts with some cheap draft excluders and savings in heating bills will begin straight away.

115

And are you using the latest energy -saving light bulbs?

116

i'm not recommending you go around your entire property throwing out older ones

117

and replacing them all immediately but next time a bulb goes make sure you buy an energy efficient alternative

118

and what about heating

119

if you have radiators in every room do you need them all switched on throughout the day

120

if they're on timers set them efficiently.

121

Then there's a laptop or your TV.

122

Do you leave them switched on overnight or on standby?

123

Don't waste money.

124

Turn them off.

125

And that goes for lights as well.

126

You'd be surprised how many people leave them on when they go out.

127

There are also guaranteed savings to be made in the kitchen.

128

I'm always telling my husband not to overfill the kettle when he makes a cup of tea.

129

Why boil more water than you actually need?

130

When you consider how many times that kettle gets used every day, you'll appreciate just how much electricity can be saved by boiling what you need and no more.

131

And the next time you're cooking pasta or potatoes, keep a lid on the pot.

132

The water will boil much more quickly than if you leave it off.

133

And if you've bought yourself a pressure cooker or steamer and it's sitting in the cupboard never being used, get it out.

134

They're much more efficient than pots and pans.

135

Now, the refrigerator and freezer.

136

If the fridge is next to the cooker, it's having to work harder to stay cold.

137

But as I'm giving cheap, easy solutions here, a kitchen redesign might be out of the question.

138

Still, there are other energy -saving steps you can take.

139

Keep an eye on the temperature control.

140

We often forget to turn it down in the colder winter months

141

when a high setting is unnecessary also remember to defrost the freezer frequently

142

and try not to overfill it as this isn't the most efficient way of using it

143

the washing machine is another potential money saver a lot of people wash at 40 degrees celsius

144

but it's often okay to drop the temperature down to 30 degrees celsius with similar results

145

and remember to either wash full loads or select the half load program.

146

Again, a surprising number of people forget to do this.

147

And is it really necessary to dry your clothes in a tumble dryer?

148

If you have a garden or a yard, hang them outside.

149

Or if you're drying them inside, get yourself a cheap clothes rail rather than hanging things over radiators, which robs you a valuable heat.

150

Now, let's turn to some of the help our local council is offering to householders to save energy.

151

That is the end of part two.

152

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

153

Now turns to part three.

154

Part three.

155

You are going to hear a conversation on rivers.

156

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

157

Transcription by CastingWords the tape

158

and answer the questions 21 to 25 please tell me about the current state of the amazon

159

we have increased deforestation increased human population relating to deforestation

160

and a role of fire in the amazon on a scale that's never been seen in history

161

at the same time you can see progress in trying to counter that negative trend

162

how do you see this we see this in the creation of national parks

163

and indigenous areas and efforts to fund sustainable development activities for locals.

164

We see both good and the bad, and it's going to be a race to finish.

165

I understand that you started the minimum critical size of ecosystems project.

166

Could you tell me about it?

167

A number of years ago, it became apparent that those practising conservationists didn't have the scientific information available to properly design a conservation area.

168

They didn't know how big it had to be, right?

169

People were learning that as forests fragment, the fragments begin to shed species after they become isolated, so they end up becoming poor examples of what they had been.

170

This relates to the size of the fragment.

171

Do people still study this?

172

Yes, there is a rich subfield of conservation biology that looks at the efforts of fragmentation.

173

One of the consequences is a general policy response to set up protected areas that are fairly large,

174

something on the order of 1 ,000 square kilometres.

175

Now look at questions 26 to 30.

176

As the talk continues, answer questions 26 to 30.

177

Can you talk a little bit more about the forest fragmentation?

178

As habitats are destroyed, they are accompanied by habitat fragmentation.

179

So when 50 % of a forest is lost, the remaining 50 % being is not one large block,

180

but smaller pieces, which makes the conservation problem even worse than saying that 50 % has been lost.

181

And this affects not just forest, but species diversity, correct?

182

In terms of species loss, we can't give you precise numbers about how many species are lost because of these fragmented landscapes,

183

but we're beginning to get close to where we can make that estimation.

184

And so one of the policy responses to all of this, beyond just trying to create large protected areas, is to try and reconnect the fragments.

185

You've been active in many projects studying the Amazon region over the years.

186

Can you tell us about that process of understanding the Amazon?

187

When people first started looking at conservation priorities, there was not much information about the geography of plant and animal species.

188

One of the first clues was an analysis done in 1969.

189

This looked at bird species and found geographic clusters of species which occurred nowhere else.

190

And those are priority areas for conservation.

191

Was this when people began prioritising refuges?

192

Yes, it was the first time that someone looked basin -wide at priorities, giving priority to so -called refugee in areas.

193

Was this when the new trend to use geographic information systems, or a GIS, started?

194

That was in 1990 after we worked out a whole set of biological

195

and conservational priorities and produced a big map using GIS.

196

What are some of the things that GIS does?

197

Well, there are several advantages of using a geographic information system.

198

First, you can continually update the system so that it's now a constantly changing picture.

199

You can actually watch changes.

200

Then you can include large amounts of data, including information about the vectors of development.

201

Roads, railroads, pipelines, hydroelectric projects, etc. And finally, because it is accessible on the internet,

202

it makes this information available to anyone who's interested.

203

This is the end of Section 3.

204

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

205

Now turns to part 4.

206

Part 4 You're going to hear a talk on wild rice.

207

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

208

Now listen to the tape and answer the questions 31 to 40.

209

Good morning.

210

Today we'd like to talk about wild rice.

211

Contrary to what many people believe, wild rice is not rice at all, but a grass.

212

much of it sold in the world today is not even wild but rather cultivated varieties that do not occur naturally

213

Wild rice is really an annual aquatic seed found mostly in the upper freshwater lakes of Canada,

214

Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota in North America.

215

Indians gathered wild rice before any explorers set foot on the North American continent.

216

Early explorers were greatly impressed with the strength and hardness of the woodland Indians,

217

and attributed their vitality to their ample servings of wild rice.

218

Wild rice can grow in water as shallow as three or four feet along marshes and muddy waters.

219

A tall plant, it grows to a height of eight to ten feet, with a long flower cluster.

220

that reminds one of a narrow broom.

221

The grains in their husks on the tall stalk look somewhat like oats.

222

Truly wild rice is a challenging crop to grow,

223

even today, it's very susceptible to failure due to weather conditions.

224

If a heavy windstorm comes along just before harvesting, the seeds can be blown into the water, ruining an entire crop.

225

Harvesting at just the right time becomes a matter of beating the birds to it,

226

since wild rice is considered a delicacy by many birds living in the area.

227

Other challenges include insects, disease, poor drainage and high waters.

228

If the grains are too green, they are difficult to thresh or beat out of their husks.

229

If left on the plant too long, even a few days too long, they fall off the plant into the water.

230

Airboats have brought about recent improvements in commercial harvesting of the wild rice, while newer techniques for parching,

231

winnowing and hulling have been a help in saving time and labour.

232

Still, it takes about 3 pounds of grass seed to yield 1 pound of wild rice.

233

Buyers should be aware of two types of wild rice, gathered and commercial.

234

Foraged, or hand -harvested, wild rice is gradually being pushed out of the market by hybrid commercial varieties.

235

Hand -harvested wild rice makes up less than 20 % of the market today.

236

Heirloom varieties of this foraged grain still exist.

237

In fact, it is the only heirloom grain sold commercially.

238

However, package labels can be deceiving.

239

Though the label may read Indian harvested or organic,

240

the product may be hybridised wild rice placed in freshwater lakes and gathered by Indians in airboats.

241

Hand -harvested, organic and from the Great Lakes region is the real thing, with superior flavour and aroma,

242

but it may be difficult to find.

243

Though wild rice is one of the most expensive grains, it goes a long way.

244

Some say that one pound of the grain can feed 30 people.

245

To compensate for its high cost, try combining wild rice, half and half, with brown rice.

246

For a truly colorful presentation, try one -third of each, white rice, brown rice, and wild rice.

247

That is the end of part four.

248

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

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.
