Test 1.
2
This is the IELTS Listening Test.
3
Now turn to part 1.
4
Part 1.
5
You will hear an interview with a woman who is doing a survey on transport.
6
First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
7
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
8
Excuse me, would you mind if I asked you some questions?
9
We're doing a survey on transport.
10
Yes, that's OK.
11
First of all, can I take your name?
12
Yes, it's Sadie Jones.
13
Thanks very much.
14
And could I have your date of birth?
15
Just the year will do, actually.
16
Is that all right?
17
Yes, that's fine.
18
It's 1991.
19
So, next, your postcode, please.
20
It's DW307YZ.
21
Great, thanks.
22
Is that in Wells?
23
No, it's actually in Harbourn.
24
Wells isn't far from there, though.
25
I really like that area.
26
My grandmother lived there when I was a kid.
27
Yes, it is nice.
28
Right, so now I want to ask you some questions about how you travelled here today.
29
Did you use public transport?
30
Yes, I came by bus.
31
OK, and that was today.
32
It's the 24th of April, isn't it?
33
Isn't it the 25th?
34
No, actually, you're right.
35
And what was the reason for your trip today?
36
I can see you've got some shopping with you.
37
Yes, I did some shopping, but the main reason I came here was to go to the dentist.
38
That's not much fun.
39
Hope it was nothing serious.
40
No, it was just a check-up.
41
It's fine.
42
Good.
43
Do you normally travel by bus into the city centre?
44
Yes, I stopped driving in ages ago because parking was so difficult to find, and it costs so much.
45
I see.
46
The bus is much more convenient too.
47
It only takes about 30 minutes.
48
That's good.
49
So where did you start your journey?
50
At the bus stop on Claxby Street.
51
Is that C-L-A-X-B-Y?
52
That's right.
53
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
54
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
55
And how satisfied with the service are you?
56
Do you have any complaints?
57
Well, as I said, it's very convenient and quick when it's on time.
58
But this morning it was late.
59
Only about ten minutes, but still.
60
Yes, I understand that's annoying.
61
And what about the timetable?
62
Do you have any comments about that?
63
Hmm.
64
I suppose I mainly use the bus during the day, but any time I've been in town in the evening,
65
for dinner or at the cinema, I've noticed you have to wait a long time for a bus.
66
There aren't that many.
67
OK, thanks.
68
So now I'd like to ask you about your car use.
69
Well, I have got a car, but I don't use it that often, mainly just to go to the supermarket.
70
But that's about it, really.
71
My husband uses it at the weekends to go to the golf club.
72
And what about a bicycle?
73
I don't actually have one at the moment.
74
What about the city bikes you can rent?
75
Do you ever use those?
76
No, I'm not keen on cycling there because of all the pollution.
77
But I would like to get a bike.
78
It would be good to use it to get to work.
79
So why haven't you got one now?
80
Well, I live in a flat on the second floor and it doesn't have any storage.
81
So we'd have to leave it in the hall outside the flat.
82
I see.
83
OK, well, I think that's all we need from you today.
84
That is the end of part one.
85
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
86
Thank you.
87
Part 2.
88
You will hear a woman speaking to a group of people who are interested in becoming volunteers for an organisation called ACE.
89
First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
90
Thank you.
91
and answer questions 11 to 15.
92
Good evening, everyone.
93
Let me start by welcoming you all to this talk
94
and thanking you for taking the time to consider joining ACE voluntary organisation.
95
ACE offers support to people and services in the local area
96
and we're now looking for more volunteers to help us do this.
97
By the way, I hope you're all comfortable.
98
We have brought in extra seats so that no one has to stand, but it does mean that the people at the back of the room may be a bit squashed.
99
We'll only be here for about half an hour, so hopefully that's okay.
100
One of the first questions we're often asked is how old you need to be to volunteer.
101
Well, you can be as young as 16 or you can be 60 or over.
102
It all depends on what type of voluntary work you want to do.
103
Other considerations, such as reliability, are crucial in voluntary work and age isn't related to these in our experience.
104
Another question we get asked relates to training.
105
Well, there's plenty of that and it's all face to face.
106
What's more, training doesn't end when you start working for us.
107
It takes place before, during and after periods of work.
108
Often it's run by other experienced volunteers as managers tend to prefer to get on with other things.
109
Now, I would ask you to consider a couple of important issues before you decide to apply for voluntary work.
110
We don't worry about why you want to be a volunteer.
111
People have many different reasons that range from getting work experience to just doing something they've always wanted to do.
112
But it is critical that you have enough hours in the day for whatever role we agree is suitable for you.
113
If being a volunteer becomes stressful, then it's best not to do it at all.
114
You may think that your income is important, but we don't ask about that.
115
It's up to you to decide if you can work without earning money.
116
What we value is dedication.
117
Some of our most loyal volunteers earn very little themselves, but still give their full energy to the work they do with us.
118
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
119
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
120
OK, so let's take a look at some of the work areas
121
that we need volunteers for and the sort of things that would help you in those.
122
You may wish simply to help us raise money.
123
If you have the creativity to come up with an imaginative or novel way of fundraising,
124
we'd be delighted, as standing in the local streets or shops with a collection box can be rather boring.
125
One outdoor activity that we need volunteers for is litter collection,
126
and for this it's useful if you can walk for long periods, sometimes uphill.
127
Some of our regular collectors are quite elderly, but very active and keen to protect the environment.
128
If you enjoy working with children, we have three vacancies for what are called playmates.
129
These volunteers help children learn about staying healthy through a range of out of school activities.
130
You don't need to have children yourself, but it's good if you know something about nutrition and can give clear instructions.
131
If that doesn't appeal to you, maybe you would be interested in helping out at our story club for disabled children,
132
especially if you have done some acting.
133
We put on three performances a year based on books they have read
134
and we're always looking for support with the theatrical side of this.
135
The last area I'll mention today is first aid.
136
Volunteers who join this group can end up teaching others in vulnerable groups who may be at risk of injury.
137
Initially though, Your priority will be to take in a lot of information and not forget any important steps or details.
138
Right, so does anyone have any questions for me about...
139
That is the end of part two.
140
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.
141
Part 3
142
You will hear two students called Hugo
143
and Chantal discussing a talk they have just attended at the start of their course in fashion design.
144
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
145
Thank you.
146
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
147
Hi Chantal.
148
What did you think of the talk then?
149
Hi, Hugo.
150
I thought it was good once I'd moved seats.
151
Oh, were the people beside you chatting or something?
152
It wasn't that.
153
I went early so that I'd get a seat and not have to stand.
154
But then this guy sat right in front of me and he was so tall.
155
It's hard to see through people's heads, isn't it?
156
Impossible.
157
Anyway, to answer your question, I thought it was really interesting, especially what the speaker said about the job market.
158
Me too.
159
I mean, we know we're going into a really competitive field, so it's obvious that we may struggle to get work.
160
That's right.
161
And we know we can't all have that dream job.
162
Yeah, but it looks like there's a whole range of areas of work that we hadn't even thought of, like fashion journalism, for instance.
163
Yeah, I wasn't expecting so many career options.
164
Hmm.
165
Overall, she had quite a strong message, didn't she?
166
She did.
167
She kept saying things like, I know you all think this, but.. and then she'd tell us how it really is.
168
Perhaps she thinks students are a bit narrow-minded about the industry.
169
It was a bit harsh, though.
170
We know it's a tough industry.
171
Yeah.
172
And we're only first years, after all.
173
We've got a lot to learn.
174
Exactly.
175
Do you think our secondary school education should have been more career-focused?
176
Well, we had numerous talks on careers, which was good, but none of them were very inspiring.
177
They could have asked more people like today's speaker to talk to us.
178
I agree.
179
We were told about lots of different careers, just when we needed to be, but not by the experts who really know stuff.
180
So, did today's talk influence your thoughts on what career you'd like to take up in the future?
181
Well, I promised myself that I'd go through this course and keep an open mind till the end.
182
But I think it's better to pick an area of the industry now
183
and then aim to get better and better at it.
184
Well, I think we'll just have to differ on that issue.
185
One thing's for certain, though.
186
From what she said, we'll be unpaid assistants in the industry for quite a long time.
187
Hmm.
188
I'm prepared for that.
189
Aren't you?
190
Actually, I'm not going to accept that view.
191
Really?
192
But she knows it's the case, and everyone else says the same.
193
That doesn't mean it has to be true for me.
194
OK.
195
Well, I hope you're right.
196
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
197
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
198
I thought the speaker's account of her first job was fascinating.
199
Yeah.
200
She admitted she was lucky to get work being a personal dresser for a musician.
201
She didn't even apply for the job and there she was getting paid to choose all his clothes.
202
It must have felt amazing.
203
Though she said all she was looking for back then was experience, not financial reward.
204
Hmm.
205
And then he was so mean telling her she was more interested in her own appearance than his.
206
but she did realise he was right about that, which really made me think.
207
I'm always considering my own clothes, but now I can see you should be focusing on your client.
208
She obviously regretted losing the job.
209
Well, as she said, she should have hidden her negative feelings about him, but she didn't.
210
It was really brave the way she picked herself up and took that job in retail.
211
Fancy working in a shop after that?
212
Yeah, well, she recommended we all do it at some point.
213
I guess, as a designer, you'd get to find out some useful information, like how big or small the average shopper is.
214
I think that's an issue for manufacturers, not designers.
215
However it would be useful to know if there's a gap in the market, you know?
216
An item that no one's stocking, but that consumers are looking for.
217
Yeah, people don't give up searching.
218
They also take things back to the store if they aren't right.
219
Yeah.
220
Imagine you worked in an expensive shop
221
and you found out the garments sold there were being returned because they fell apart in the wash.
222
Yeah, it would be good to know that kind of thing.
223
Yeah.
224
That is the end of part three.
225
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.
226
Part 4 You will hear a zoology student giving a presentation on the process of moving wild elephants to a new reserve,
227
known as translocation.
228
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
229
Thank you.
230
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
231
For my presentation today, I want to tell you about how groups of elephants have been moved and settled in new reserves.
232
This is known as translocation and has been carried out in Malawi in Africa in recent years.
233
The reason this is being done is because of overpopulation of elephants in some areas.
234
Overpopulation is a good problem to have, and not one we tend to hear about very often.
235
In Malawi's Majeti National Park, the elephant population had been wiped out by poachers, who killed the elephants for their ivory.
236
But in 2003, the park was restocked and effective law enforcement was introduced.
237
Since then, not a single elephant has been poached.
238
In this safe environment, the elephant population boomed.
239
Breeding went so well that there were more elephants than the park could support.
240
This led to a number of problems.
241
Lastly, there was more competition for food, which meant that some elephants were suffering from hunger.
242
As there was a limit to the amount of food in the national park, some elephants began looking further afield.
243
Elephants were routinely knocking down fences around the park,
244
which then had to be repaired at a significant cost.
245
To solve this problem, the decision was made to move dozens of elephants from Majete National Park to Nkotokota Wildlife Park,
246
where there were no elephants.
247
But obviously, attempting to move significant numbers of elephants to a new home 300 kilometres away is quite a challenge.
248
So, how did this translocation process work in practice?
249
Elephants were moved in groups of between 8 and 20, all belonging to one family.
250
Because relationships are very important to elephants, they all had to be moved at the same time.
251
A team of vets and park rangers flew over the park in helicopters and targeted a group,
252
which were rounded up and directed to a designated open plane.
253
The vets then used darts to immobilise the elephants.
254
This was a tricky manoeuvre as they not only had to select the right dose of tranquiliser for different sized elephants,
255
but they had to dart the elephants as they were running around.
256
This also had to be done as quickly as possible, so as to minimise the stress caused.
257
As soon as the elephants began to flop onto the ground, the team moved in to take care of them.
258
To avoid the risk of suffocation, the team had to make sure none of the elephants
259
were lying on their chests because their lungs could be crushed in this position.
260
So all the elephants had to be placed on their sides.
261
One person stayed with each elephant while they waited for the vets to do checks.
262
It was very important to keep an eye on their breathing.
263
If there were fewer than six breaths per minute, the elephant would need urgent medical attention.
264
Collars were fitted to the matriarch in each group so their movements could be tracked in their new home.
265
Measurements were taken of each elephant's tusks.
266
elephants with large tusks would be at greater risk from poachers, and also of their feet.
267
The elephants were then taken to a recovery area, before being loaded onto trucks and transported to their new home.
268
The elephants translocated to Enkotakota settled in very well,
269
and the project has generally been accepted to have been a huge success, and not just for the elephants.
270
Employment prospects have improved enormously, contributing to rising living standards for the whole community.
271
Poaching is no longer an issue, as former poachers are able to find more reliable sources of income.
272
In fact, many of them volunteered to give up their weapons, as they were no longer of any use to them.
273
More than two dozen elephants have been born at Enkotakota since relocation.
274
With an area of more than 1,800 square kilometres, there's plenty of space for the elephant population to continue to grow.
275
presence is also helping to rebalance Enkotakota's damaged ecosystem,
276
and providing a sustainable conservation model which could be replicated in other parks.
277
All this has been a big draw for tourism,
278
which contributes five times more than the illegal wildlife trade to GDP,
279
and this is mainly because of the elephants.
280
There's also been a dramatic rise in interest from...
281
That is the end of part four.
282
You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.
283
Thank you.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
