and you will have a chance to check your work.

All the recordings will be played once only.

The test is in four sections.
8
At the end of the test,
9
you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

Now turn to Section 1.
11
Section 1.
12
You will hear a man telephoning a friend to find out about their local public library.
13
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
14
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
15
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
16
Hello?
17
Hi, Susie.
18
It's Paul here.
19
How are you?
20
Enjoying your new job?
21
You're working at the library, aren't you?
22
Yes.
23
I started when the library reopened a month ago.
24
It's great.
25
The woman says that the library reopened a month ago.
26
So month has been written in the space.
27
Now we shall begin.
28
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
29
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
30
Hello?
31
Hi, Susie.
32
It's Paul here.
33
How are you?
34
Enjoying your new job?
35
You're working at the library, aren't you?
36
Yes, I started when the library reopened a month ago.
37
It's great.
38
Actually, Carol and I have been meaning to join for a while.
39
Oh, you should.
40
It doesn't cost anything.
41
And the new library has all sorts of facilities.
42
It's not just a place where you borrow books.
43
For instance, there's an area with comfortable seats where you can sit and read the magazines they have there.
44
Some people spend the whole morning there.
45
Hmm.
46
Wish I had that amount of time to spend.
47
Yes.
48
You must be pretty busy at present,
49
with the children and everything.
50
We are, yes.
51
But we're hoping to get away this summer.
52
We're thinking of going to Greece.
53
Well, we've got a much larger section of the library devoted to travel books now,
54
so you should come and have a look.
55
I can't remember if there's anything specifically on Greece,
56
but I should think so.
57
OK.
58
Now, Carol's organising a project for the history class she teaches at school.
59
It's about life in the town a hundred years ago.
60
Do you have anything that might be useful?
61
Yes.
62
Actually, we've now got a new section with materials on the history of the town and surrounding region.
63
Right.
64
I'll tell her.
65
You can't always find that sort of thing on the internet.
66
Now, in the old library,
67
there used to be a separate room with reference books.
68
It was a really nice, quiet room.
69
Yes, we've put those books in the main part of the library now,
70
but we do have a room called the community room.
71
It can be hired out for meetings,
72
but at other times people can use it to study.
73
I might use that.
74
It's hard to find anywhere quiet at home sometimes.
75
I can't remember how old your son and daughter are.
76
We've introduced a special section of fiction written specially for teenagers,
77
but they might be a bit young for that.
78
Yes, they would be.
79
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
80
you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
81
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
82
Well, we do have lots of activities for younger children.
83
Yes.
84
For example, we have a science club.
85
At the next meeting, they're going to be doing experiments with stuff that everyone has in the kitchen,
86
sugar and flour and so on.
87
They might be interested, yes.
88
And we have a competition for children called Reading Challenge.
89
That doesn't begin until after the end of term.
90
They have to read six books and they get a certificate if they manage it.
91
So that gives them something to do while they're on holiday instead of getting bored.
92
That's the idea.
93
And there's special activities for adults too.
94
On Friday, we have a local author called Tanya Streep who's going to be talking about her new novel.
95
It's called Catch the Mouse and she based the story on a crime that actually took place here years ago.
96
Right.
97
We're not free on Friday,
98
but I'll look out for the book.
99
Now, this probably isn't for you,
100
but we do have IT support available for members.
101
We get quite a few older people coming along who are wanting to get up to speed with computer technology.
102
It's on Tuesday mornings.
103
They don't need to make an appointment or anything.
104
They just turn up.
105
Well, my mother might be interested.
106
I'll let her know.
107
OK.
108
And there's another service which you wouldn't expect from a library,
109
which is a free medical check-up.
110
The hospital arranges for someone to come along and measure the level of sugar in your blood,
111
and they check cholesterol levels at the same time.
112
Really?
113
Yes, but that's only for the over-sixties, so you wouldn't qualify.
114
OK.
115
Well, I'll tell my mother.
116
She might be interested.
117
What other information?
118
Well, we do have a little shop with things like wall charts
119
and greetings cards and also stamps so you can post the cards straight away,
120
which is really useful.
121
Yeah.
122
Well, I'll bring the children round at the weekend and we'll join.
123
Oh, one more thing.
124
I'll be bringing the car.
125
Is there parking available?
126
Yes, and it's free in the evening and at weekends.
127
Perfect.
128
Well, thanks, Susie.
129
See you soon.

Советы по практике

При прослушивании этого аудиозаписи рекомендуется использовать технику shadowing, когда вы повторяете за диктором сразу после того, как он произносит фразы. Это поможет вам не только улучшить ваше произношение, но и повысить уровень понимания английского языка на слух. Обратите внимание на скорость и интонацию говорящих в видео. Стремитесь копировать их тон и ритм, чтобы ваш shadow speech звучал как можно более естественно.

Попробуйте разделить видео на небольшие кусочки. Сначала слушайте один абзац, а затем повторяйте его. Это поможет закрепить материал и улучшить произношение. Также, не забывайте использовать практику разговорного английского в повседневной жизни, а данный контент станет отличным дополнением к вашему обучению. Применяйте полученные знания, когда будете общаться с друзьями или знакомыми. Используя shadowspeak, вы сможете добиться отличных результатов в изучении английского языка!

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.
