You'll hear three different extracts.

For questions 1 to 6, choose the answer A, B or C, which fits best according to what you hear.

There are two questions for each extract.

Extract 1 You hear part of an interview with a woman who works in retail management.

Now look at questions 1 and 2.

So, Fiona, can you tell me about how you started in fashion retailing?

Yes, of course.

After I finished university, I took a job with a big high street chain.

I was an assistant manager.

Every week you would see the sales figures for your product

and then act on that by placing repeat orders or putting a new style in.

It was a good grounding.

However, most of the staff had been there years and I think I did make mistakes in my dealings with them.

I blush now to think of my time there.

I then moved on after five years to my present job.

And now you're thinking of moving up the ladder.

How do you see yourself in ten years' time?

I would eventually like to be in senior management.

Well, before you rush off to see your line manager, I think you need to work out skills you can offer emphasising your selling points, showing them what you can do.

Also, have you been going the extra mile to get things done or doing more than what is asked of you recently?

Now you'll hear the recording again.

Extract 2.

You overhear a woman telling a friend a story about a swan.

Now look at questions 3 and 4.

So what happened last weekend?

Well, we were taking our boat along the river when we passed a pair of swans with a nest nearby.

One swan just carried on feeding, but the other one, the male, I think, decided to come and investigate.

Oh, fantastic.

I've never seen a swan's nest close up.

I expect he was hungry.

Well, actually, it was immediately obvious from his body language that he had other things on his mind.

He was flapping his wings really hard and approaching at incredible speed.

I guess we'd gone too close to the nest.

I'd never have done that if I'd known what would happen.

Gosh, amazing!

I've never heard of swans behaving like that before.

So what did you do, Roe like mad?

Well, we got out onto the bank, but he followed us up and then stood between us and the boat for about an hour.

We just couldn't frighten him away.

No, I suppose not.

Still, I'm sure he wouldn't have hurt you.

Are you kidding?

You should have seen the way he moved.

Swans can be really aggressive at nesting times.

Hmm.

Now you'll hear the recording again.

Extract 3.

You hear part of an interview with Bruce Loder, a successful businessman who's talking about his early life.

Now look at questions 5 and 6.

The End Bruce, at school you discovered you had a natural talent for art.

Yes, I inherited my dad's gift for drawing.

I wanted to do representational art, paint portraits.

But every college I went to, and there were three who accepted me, all the college tutors said, forget representational art, get a single lens reflex 33mm camera,

hit the shutter, crash, there's your picture.

Not even Rembrandt could get that accuracy, so it's not worth it.

And you believed them?

I did.

That was my biggest mistake.

I haven't picked up a paintbrush since.

How did your father react when you told him you weren't going to art college.

His face was white with rage.

He said, right, that's it.

You could have made something of going to college.

100

You won't get another chance.

101

Now I've got a perfectly good job for you on the factory floor.

102

You start this week, take it or leave it.

103

I said, no, I'm going to start a business next.

104

He said, well, at your own expense then.

105

He refused to support you anymore?

106

That's it. And so...

107

Now you'll hear the recording again.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
