1
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
2
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
3
All the recordings will be played once only.
4
The test is in four sections.
5
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
6
Now turn to section 1.
7
Section 1.
8
You will hear a man telephoning to ask about a job in a hotel.
9
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
10
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
11
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
12
Hello, West Bay Hotel.
13
Can I help you?
14
Oh, good morning.
15
I'm ringing about your advertisement in the Evening Gazette.
16
Is that the one for temporary staff?
17
That's right.
18
The advertisement is for temporary staff, so temporary has been written in the space.
19
Now we shall begin.
20
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
21
Listen carefully and answer questions one to four.
22
Hello, West Bay Hotel.
23
Can I help you?
24
Oh, good morning.
25
I'm ringing about your advertisement in the Evening Gazette.
26
Is that the one for temporary staff?
27
That's right.
28
Yes, I'm afraid the person who's dealing with that isn't in today, but I can give you the main details if you like.
29
Yes, please.
30
Could you tell me what kind of staff you're looking for?
31
We're looking for waiters at the moment.
32
There was one post for a cook, but that's already been taken.
33
Oh, right.
34
What are the hours of work?
35
There are two different shifts.
36
There is a day shift from seven to two, and a late shift from four till eleven.
37
And can people choose which one they want to do?
38
Not normally, because everyone would choose the day shift, I suppose.
39
You alternate from one week to another.
40
OK, I'm just writing all this down.
41
What about time off?
42
You get one day off, and I think you can negotiate which one you want.
43
It's more or less up to you, but it has to be the same one every week.
44
Do you know what the rates of pay are?
45
Yes, I've got them here.
46
You get £5 .50 an hour, and that includes a break.
47
Do I have to go home to eat, or...?
48
You don't have to.
49
You can get a meal in the hotel if you want to, and there's no charge for it, so you might as well.
50
Oh, good.
51
Yes, so let's see.
52
I get £221.. no, no, £231 a week.
53
You'd also get tips.
54
Our guests tend to be quite generous.
55
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
56
Now listen and answer questions five to ten.
57
Um, is there a uniform?
58
What about clothes?
59
Yes, I forgot to mention that.
60
You need to wear a white shirt, just a plain one, and dark trousers.
61
You know, not green or anything like that.
62
And we don't supply those.
63
That's OK, I've got trousers.
64
I just have to buy a couple of shirts.
65
What about anything else?
66
Do I need a waistcoat or anything?
67
You have to wear a jacket, but the hotel lends you that.
68
I see.
69
One last thing.
70
I don't know what the starting date is.
71
Just a minute.
72
I think it's sometime around the end of June.
73
Yes, the 28th, in time for the summer.
74
That's great.
75
I'm available from the 10th.
76
Oh, good.
77
Well, if you can call again, you need to speak to the service manager.
78
Her name's Jane Irwin, that's U -R -W -I -N, and she'll probably arrange to meet you.
79
OK.
80
and when's the best time to ring?
81
Could you call tomorrow?
82
Um, she usually starts checking the rooms at midday, so before then if you can, so she'll have more time to chat.
83
I'll just give you her number because she's got a direct line.
84
Thanks.
85
It's 832 009.
86
823 009?
87
832. Oh, OK.
88
Yes, I'll do that.
89
And, by the way, she will ask you for a reference, so you might like to be thinking about that.
90
You know, just someone who knows you and can vouch for you.
91
Yes, no problem.
92
Well, thanks very much for your help.
93
You're welcome.
94
Bye.
95
Bye.
96
Now turn to section 2.
97
Section 2.
98
You will hear a man being interviewed on local radio about a plan to improve a suburb called Red Hill.
99
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 13.
100
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 13.
101
Good morning and welcome again to Your City Today.
102
With me today is Graham Campbell, a councillor from the City Council.
103
He'll be telling us about the plan to improve the fast -growing suburb of Red Hill.
104
Good morning, Graham, and welcome to the show.
105
Good morning, Carol.
106
Now, Graham, I understand that there has been a lot of community consultation for the new plan.
107
Yes, we've tried to address some of the concerns that local groups told us about.
108
People we've heard from are mainly worried about traffic in the area, and in particular the increasing speed of cars near schools.
109
They feel that it's only a matter of time before there's an accident as a lot of children walk to the school.
110
So we're trying to do something about that.
111
Another area of concern is the overhead power lines.
112
These are very old and a lot of people we spoke to asked if something could be done about them.
113
Well, I'm happy to report
114
that the power company have agreed to move the power lines underground at a cost of $800 ,000.
115
I think that will really improve the look of the area, as well as being safer.
116
That's good to know.
117
But will that mean an increase in rates for the local businesses in that area?
118
Well, the power company have agreed to bear the cost of this themselves after a lot of discussion with the council.
119
This is wonderful news, as the council now has some extra funds for us to put into other things like tree planting and artwork.
120
Before you hear the rest of the interview, you have some time to look at questions 14 to 20.
121
Now listen and answer questions 14 to 20.
122
Now, we've also put together a map which we've sent out to all the residents in the area.
123
And on the map we've marked the proposed changes.
124
Firstly, we'll plant mature pine trees to provide shelter and shade just to the right of the supermarket in Days Road.
125
In order to address the traffic problems, the pavements on the corner of Carberry and Thomas Street will be widened.
126
This will help to reduce the speed of vehicles entering Thomas Street.
127
We think it's very important to separate the local residential streets from the main road,
128
so the roadway at the entrance to Thomas Street from Days Road will be painted red.
129
This should mark it more clearly and act as a signal for traffic to slow down.
130
One way of making sure that the pedestrians are safe is to increase signage at the intersections.
131
A keep clear sign will be erected at the junction of Evelyn Street
132
and Hill Street to enable traffic to exit at all times.
133
Something we're planning to do to help control the flow of traffic in the area is to install traffic lights halfway down
134
Hill Street where it crosses Day's Road.
135
Now, we haven't only thought about the cars and traffic of course, there's also something for the children.
136
We're going to get schoolchildren in the area to research a local story, the life of a local sports hero, perhaps.
137
And an artist will incorporate
138
that story into paintings on the wall of a building on the other side of Hill Street from the supermarket.
139
And finally, we've agreed to build a new children's playground, which will be at the other end of Hill Street,
140
close to the intersection with Carberry Street.
141
Wonderful.
142
Now, what's the next stage?
143
Well, the final plan...
144
Now turn to section 3.
145
Section 3.
146
You will hear two students called Dan and Jeannie discussing their studies at university.
147
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
148
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
149
Hi, Jeannie.
150
How's it going?
151
Oh, hello, Dan.
152
Pretty well, thanks.
153
Have you managed to get the money for the course yet?
154
Yes, that's all sorted out now, thanks.
155
It took long enough, though.
156
It was practically a year ago that I applied to my local council for a grant, and it took them six months to turn me down.
157
That's really slow.
158
And I thought I was eligible for government funding, but it seems I was mistaken.
159
So then I asked the boss of the company I used to work for if they would sponsor me, and much to my surprise,
160
he said they'd make a contribution.
161
But what about college grants and scholarships?
162
There must be some you could apply for.
163
Yes, there are, but they're all so small that I decided to leave them until I was desperate.
164
And in fact, I didn't need to apply.
165
My parents had been saying that as I already had a job, I ought to support myself through college.
166
But in the end, they took pity on me, so now I've just about got enough.
167
That's good.
168
So now I can put a bit of effort into meeting people.
169
Haven't had time so far.
170
Any suggestions?
171
What about joining some college clubs?
172
Oh, right.
173
You joined several, didn't you?
174
Yes.
175
I'm in the drama club.
176
It's our first performance next week, so we're rehearsing frantically, and I've got behind with my work.
177
But it's worth it.
178
I'm hoping to be in a spring production, too.
179
I've never liked acting.
180
Are you doing anything else?
181
I enjoyed singing when I was at school, so I joined a group when I came to college.
182
I don't think the conductor stretches us enough, though, so I'll give up after the next concert.
183
And I also joined the debating society.
184
It's fun, but with all the rehearsing I'm doing, something has to go, and I'm afraid that's the one.
185
Do you do any sports?
186
Yes, I'm in one of the hockey teams.
187
Not very good, but I'd really miss it if I stopped.
188
I decided to try tennis when I came to college, and I'm finding it pretty tough going.
189
I'm simply not fit enough. Nor me.
190
I think I'll give that a miss.
191
I'm hoping it'll help me to build up my stamina, but it'll probably be a long haul.
192
Good luck.
193
Thanks.
194
How are you finding the course?
195
I wish we had more seminars.
196
What?
197
I'd have thought we had more than enough already.
198
All those people saying clever things that I could never think of.
199
It's quite interesting, but I wonder if I'm clever enough to be doing this course.
200
I find it helpful to listen to the other people.
201
I like the way we're exploring the subject and working towards getting insight into it.
202
How do you get on with your tutor?
203
I don't think I'm on the same wavelength as mine, so I feel I'm not getting anything out of the tutorials.
204
It would be more productive to read a book instead.
205
Oh, mine's very demanding.
206
She gives me lots of feedback and advice, so I've got much better at writing essays.
207
And she's helping me plan my revision for the end of year exams.
208
Do tell me, I always struggle with revision.
209
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
210
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
211
Well, the first thing is to find out exactly what's required in the exams.
212
Hmm, would it help to get hold of some past papers?
213
Yes, they'll help to make it clear.
214
Right, I'll do that.
215
Then what?
216
Then you can sort out your revision priorities, based on what's most likely to come up.
217
I put these on a card and read them through regularly.
218
Uh -huh.
219
But that isn't enough in itself.
220
You also need a timetable to see how you can fit everything in, in the time available.
221
Then keep it in front of you while you're studying.
222
I've done that before, but it hasn't helped me.
223
Maybe you need to do something different every day.
224
So if you break down your revision into small tasks and allocate them to specific days, there's more incentive to tackle them.
225
With big topics, you're more likely to put off starting.
226
Good idea.
227
And as I revise each topic, I write a single paragraph about it.
228
Then later I can read it through quickly and it helps fix things in my mind.
229
That's brilliant.
230
I also write answers to questions for the exam practice.
231
It's hard to make myself do it though.
232
Well, I'll try.
233
Thanks a lot, Jeannie.
234
That's a great help.
235
No problem.
236
See you around.
237
Bye.
238
That is the end of section three.
239
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
240
Now turn to section 4.
241
Section 4.
242
You will hear a lecturer giving a talk about Australian rock art to a group of archaeology students.
243
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
244
Thank you.
245
Thank you.
246
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
247
Good morning everyone.
248
I've been invited to talk about my research project into Australian Aboriginal rock paintings.
249
The Australian Aborigines have recorded both real and symbolic images of their time on rock walls for many thousands of years.
250
Throughout the long history of this tradition,
251
new images have appeared and new painting styles have developed and these characteristics can be used to categorise the different artistic styles.
252
Among these are what we call the dynamic, yam and modern styles of painting.
253
One of the most significant characteristics of the different styles is the way that humans are depicted in the paintings.
254
The more recent paintings show people in static poses,
255
but the first human images to dominate rock art paintings over 8 ,000 years ago were full of movement.
256
These paintings showed people hunting and cooking food and so they were given the name dynamic to reflect this energy.
257
It's quite amazing considering they were painted in such a simple stick -like form.
258
In the Yam period there was a movement away from stick figures to a more naturalistic shape.
259
However they didn't go as far as the modern style
260
which is known as x -ray
261
because it actually makes a feature of the internal skeleton as well as the organs of animals and humans.
262
The yam style of painting got its name from the fact
263
that it featured much curvier figures that actually resemble the vegetable called the yam, which is similar to a sweet potato.
264
The modern paintings are interesting because they include paintings at the time of the first contact with European settlers.
265
Aborigines managed to convey the idea of the settlers' clothing by simply painting the Europeans without any hands,
266
indicating the habit of standing with their hands in their pockets.
267
Size is another characteristic.
268
The more recent images tend to be life -size or even larger, but the dynamic figures are painted in miniature.
269
Aboriginal rock art also records the environmental changes that occurred over thousands of years.
270
For example, we know from the dynamic paintings that over 8 ,000 years ago,
271
Aborigines would have rarely eaten fish and sea levels were much lower at this time.
272
In fact, fish didn't start to appear in paintings until the yam period along with shells and other marine images.
273
The paintings of the yam tradition also suggest
274
that during this time the Aborigines moved away from animals as their main food source
275
and began including vegetables in their diet as these feature prominently.
276
Freshwater creatures didn't appear in the paintings until the modern period from 4 ,000 years ago.
277
So these paintings have already taught us a lot.
278
But one image that has always intrigued us is known as the Rainbow Serpent.
279
The Rainbow Serpent, which is the focus of my most recent project, gets its name from its snake or serpent -like body
280
and it first appeared in the Yam period 4 ,000 to 6 ,000 years ago.
281
Many believe it is a curious mixture of kangaroo, snake and crocodile.
282
But we decided to study the Rainbow Serpent paintings to see
283
if we could locate the animal that the very first painters based their image on.
284
The Yam period coincided with the end of the last Ice Age.
285
This brought about tremendous change in the environment with the sea levels rising and creeping steadily inland.
286
This flooded many familiar land features and also caused a great deal of disruption to traditional patterns of life, hunting in particular.
287
New shores were formed and totally different creatures would have washed up onto the shores.
288
We studied 107 paintings of the Rainbow Serpent and found
289
that the one creature that matches it most closely was the ribboned pipefish, which is a type of seahorse.
290
This sea creature would have been a totally unfamiliar sight in the inland regions where the image is found
291
and it may have been the inspiration behind the early paintings.
292
So, at the end of the Ice Age there would have been enormous changes in animal and plant life.
293
It's not surprising then that the Aborigines linked this abundance to the new creatures they witnessed.
294
Even today, Aborigines see the rainbow serpent as a symbol of creation
295
which is understandable given the increase in vegetation and the new life forms that featured when the image first appeared.
296
That is the end of Section 4.
297
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
298
Thank you.

- /v/ — ไม่ใช่ /w/ ให้ฟันบนแตะริมฝีปากล่าง: revision /ɹəˈvɪʒ.ən/, advertisement /ˈædvɚˌtaɪzmənt/, clever /ˈklɛv.ɚ/, vegetable /ˈvɛd͡ʒ.tə.bəl/, productive /pɹəˈdʌk.tɪv/
- /z/ — เสียงก้อง ไม่ใช่ /s/: advertisement /ˈædvɚˌtaɪzmənt/, exam /ɪɡˈzæm/, trousers /ˈtɹaʊzɚz/, exit /ˈɛɡzət/, residential /ˌrɛzɪˈdɛnʃəl/
วิธีฝึกกับวิดีโอนี้
- ฟังวิดีโอให้จบหนึ่งรอบโดยยังไม่ต้องพูด แล้วจดคำที่ยังไม่รู้จัก
- พูดตามทีละประโยคด้วยความเร็วปกติ ทำซ้ำแต่ละประโยคจนจังหวะของคุณตรงกับผู้พูด
- อัดเสียงตัวเองแล้วเทียบกับต้นฉบับ โดยสังเกตคำอย่าง advertisement, topic, shore เป็นพิเศษ
