Section one.

The student wishes to arrange accommodation in a hall of residence, so hall has been written in the space.

47
you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
48
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
49
Now, thinking about the room itself, we have a number of options.
50
You can have a single study bedroom or you can have a shared one.
51
These are both what we call simple rooms.
52
The other alternative is to opt for a single bedsit, which actually has more space and better facilities.
53
There's about £20 a week difference between them.
54
Well, actually, my grant is quite generous, and I think the bedsit sounds the best option.
55
Lovely.
56
I'll put you down for that, and we'll see what availability is like.
57
Now, can I ask some other personal details which we like to have on record?
58
Yes, of course.
59
I wonder if you could let us know what your interests are.
60
This might help us get a closer match for placing you in a particular hall.
61
Um, well, I love the theatre.
62
Right.
63
And I enjoy sports, particularly badminton.
64
Ah, that's worth knowing.
65
Now, what we finish with on the form is really a
66
list from you of what your priorities are in choosing a hall.
67
And we'll do our best to take these into account.
68
Well, the first thing is I'd prefer a hall where there are other mature students, if possible.
69
Yes, we do have halls which tend to cater for slightly older students.
70
And I'd prefer to be out of town
71
That's actually very good for you Because we tend to have more vacancies in out -of -town halls Lucky Yes Anything else?
72
Well, I would like somewhere with a shared area A TV room, for example, or something like that It's a good way to socialise It certainly is That's it?
73
Now, we just need a contact telephone number for you Oh, sure I'll just find it.
74
Um, it's, uh, double six, seven five, four nine.
75
Great.
76
So we'll be in contact with you as soon as possible.
77
That is the end of section one.
78
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
79
Now turn to Section 2.
80
Section 2 You will hear a man giving a talk to new members of a wildlife club in the south of England.
81
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 13.
82
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 13.
83
Hello.
84
I'm delighted to welcome you to our wildlife club and very pleased
85
that you're interested in the countryside and the plants and creatures of this area.
86
I think you'll be surprised at the variety we have here, even though we're not far from London.
87
I'll start by telling you about some of the parks and open spaces nearby.
88
One very pleasant place is Halland Common.
89
This has been public land for hundreds of years, and what you'll find interesting is that the River Ouse, which flows into the sea 80 kilometres away,
90
has its source in the common.
91
There's an information board about the plants and animals you can see here, And, by the way, the common is accessible 24 hours a day.
92
Then there's Holt Island, which is noted for its great range of trees.
93
In the past, willows were grown here commercially for basket -making, and this ancient craft has recently been reintroduced.
94
The island is only open to the public from Friday to Sunday, because it's quite small, and if there were people around every day,
95
much of the wildlife would keep away.
96
From there, it's just a short walk across the bridge to Longfield Country Park.
97
Longfield has a modern replica of a farm from over 2 ,000 years ago.
98
Children's activities are often arranged there, like bread -making and face -painting.
99
The park is only open during daylight hours, so bear that in mind if you decide to go there.
100
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 14 to 20.
101
Now listen and answer questions 14 to 20.
102
Longfield Park has a programme of activities throughout the year, and to give you a sample, this is what's happening in the next few days.
103
On Monday, you can learn about herbs and how they've been used over the centuries.
104
You'll start with a tour of our herb garden, practise the technique of using them as colour dyes for cloth,
105
and listen to an illustrated talk about their use in cooking and medicine.
106
Then on Wednesday you can join local experts to discover the variety of insects and birds that appear in the evening.
107
We keep to a small number of people in the group, so if you want to go, you'll need to phone the park ranger a few days ahead.
108
There's a small charge which you should pay when you turn up.
109
I'm sure you're all keen to help with the practical task of looking after the park, so on Saturday you can join a working party.
110
You'll have a choice of all sorts of activities, from planting hedges to picking up litter, so you'll be able to change from one to another when you feel like it.
111
The rangers will be hard at work all day, but do come and join in, even for just a short while.
112
One thing, though, is to make sure you're wearing something that you don't mind getting dirty or torn.
113
And finally, I'd like to tell you about our new wildlife area, Hinchingbrook Park, which will be opened to the public next month.
114
This slide doesn't really indicate how big it is, but anyway, you can see the two gates into the park and the main paths.
115
As you can see, there's a lake in the north -west of the park with
116
a bird hide to the west of it at the end of a path, so it'll be a nice quiet place for watching the birds on the lake.
117
Fairly close to where refreshments are available, there's a dog walking area in the southern part of the park, leading off from the path.
118
And if you just want to sit and relax, you can go to the flower garden.
119
That's the circular area on the map, surrounded by paths.
120
And finally, there's a wooded area in the western section of the park between two paths.
121
OK, that's enough from me, so let's get on and have a look.
122
That is the end of section two.
123
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
124
Now turn to section 3.
125
Section 3
126
You will hear the Director of Studies in an English Language Centre and a student representative talking about their self -access centre.
127
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
128
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
129
Hi, Yun.
130
As you know, I've asked you here today to discuss the future of our self -access centre.
131
We have to decide what we want to do about this very important resource for our English language students.
132
Can you tell me what the students think about this?
133
Well, from the students' point of view, we would like to keep it.
134
The majority of students say that they enjoy using it
135
because it provides a variation on the classroom routine and they see it as a pretty major component of their course.
136
But we would like to see some improvements to the equipment, particularly the computers.
137
There aren't enough for one each at the moment
138
and we always have to share well yes the teachers agree
139
that it is a very valuable resource but one thing we have noticed is
140
that a lot of the students are using it to check
141
their personal emails we don't want to stop you students using it
142
but we think the computer should be used as a learning resource not for emails some of us also think
143
that we could benefit a lot more by relocating the self
144
-access center to the main university library building how do you think the students would feel about that, Yun?
145
Well, the library is big enough to incorporate the self -access centre, but it wouldn't be like a class activity anymore.
146
Our main worry would be not being able to go to a teacher for advice.
147
I'm sure there would be plenty of things to do, but we really need teachers to help us choose the best activities.
148
Well, there would still be a teacher present and he or she would guide the activities of the students.
149
We wouldn't just leave them to get on with it.
150
Yes, Yes, but I think the students would be much happier keeping the existing set up.
151
They really like going to the self -access centre with their teacher and staying together as a group to do activities.
152
If we could just improve the resources and facilities, I think it would be fine.
153
Is the cost going to be a problem?
154
It's not so much the expense that I'm worried about, and we've certainly got room to do it,
155
but it's the problem of timetabling a teacher to be in there outside class hours.
156
If we're going to spend a lot of money on equipment and resources, we really need to make sure that everything is looked after properly.
157
Anyway, let's make some notes to see just what needs doing to improve the centre.
158
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
159
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
160
Now, what about the computers?
161
I think it might be a good idea to install some new models.
162
They would take up a lot less room, and so that would increase the workspace for textbooks and so on.
163
That would be great.
164
It is a bit cramped in there at times.
165
What about other resources?
166
Do you have a list of things that the students would like to see improved?
167
Yes.
168
One of the comments that students frequently make is
169
that they find it difficult to find materials
170
that are appropriate for their level especially reading resources
171
so I think we need to label them more clearly well that's easy enough we can get
172
that organized very quickly in fact I think we should review
173
all of the study resources as some of them are looking
174
a bit out of date definitely the CD section especially needs
175
to be more current I think we should get some of the ones
176
that go with our latest course books
177
and also make multiple copies good now I was also thinking about some different materials
178
that we haven't got in there at all what do you think of the idea of introducing some workbooks if
179
we break them up into separate pages
180
and laminate them they'd be a great resource the students could study the main course book in class
181
and then do follow up practice in the self -access center
182
that sounds good okay now finally we need to think about
183
how the room is used I'll have to talk to the teachers
184
and make sure we can all reach some agreement on a timetable to supervise the center after class
185
but we also need to think about security too especially
186
if we're going to invest in some new equipment um what
187
about putting in an alarm good idea the other thing I'd like to do is talk to our technicians
188
and see whether we could somehow limit the access to email I really don't want to see
189
that resource misused what about if we agree to only use it before
190
and after class yes that would be fine okay anyway that's great for now we'll discuss it further when we've managed
191
That is the end of section 3.
192
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
193
Now turn to section 4.
194
Section 4.
195
You will hear the beginning of a lecture about business cultures.
196
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
197
Thank you.
198
Now listen carefully, and answer questions 31 to 40.
199
Good morning, everyone.
200
Now, whether you are going to university to study business or some other subject, many of you will eventually end up working for a company of some kind.
201
Now, when you first start working somewhere, you will realize that the organization you've joined has certain characteristics.
202
And we often refer to these social characteristics as the culture of the organization.
203
This includes its unwritten ideas, beliefs, values, and things like that.
204
One well -known writer has classified company cultures by identifying four major types.
205
The first type is called the power culture, and it's usually found in small organizations.
206
It's the type of culture that needs a central source of power to be effective.
207
And because control is in the hands of just one or two people, there aren't many rules or procedures.
208
Another characteristic is that communication usually takes the form of conversations rather than, say, formal meetings or written memos.
209
Now, one of the benefits of this culture is that the organization has the ability to act quickly,
210
so it responds well to threat or danger on the one hand and opportunity on the other.
211
But on the negative side, this type of organization doesn't always act effectively, because it depends too much on one or two people at the top.
212
And when these people make poor decisions, there's no one else who can influence them.
213
And the kind of person who does well in this type of business culture is one who is happy to take risks, and for whom job security is a low priority.
214
The next type is known as role culture.
215
That's R -O -L -E, not R -O -L -L, by the way.
216
And this type is usually found in large companies, which have lots of different levels in them.
217
These organizations usually have separate departments that specialize in things like finance or sales or maintenance or whatever.
218
Each one is coordinated at the top by a small group of senior managers.
219
And typically, everyone's job is controlled by sets of rules and procedures.
220
For example, there are specific job descriptions, rules for discipline, and so on.
221
What are the benefits of this kind of culture?
222
Well, firstly, because it's found in large organizations, its fixed costs, or overheads as they're known,
223
are low in relation to its output or what it produces.
224
In other words, it can achieve economies of scale.
225
And secondly, it is particularly successful in business markets where technical expertise is important.
226
On the other hand, this culture is often very slow to recognize the need for change, and even slower to react.
227
What kind of person does this type of culture suit?
228
Well, it suits employees who value security and who don't particularly want to have responsibility.
229
You Moving on now to task cultures, this type is found in organizations that are project -oriented.
230
You usually find it where the market for the company's product is extremely competitive, or where the products themselves have a short lifespan.
231
Usually, top management delegates the projects, the people, and other resources, and once these have been allocated,
232
little day -to -day control is exercised from the top, because this would seem like breaking the rules.
233
Now, one of the major benefits of this culture is that it's flexible, but it does have some major disadvantages too.
234
For instance, it can't produce economies of scale or great depth of expertise.
235
People who like working in groups or teams prefer this type of culture.
236
And finally, the fourth category is called the person culture.
237
That is the end of section 4.
238
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
239
That is the end of the listening test.
240
In the IELTS test, you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
241
Thank you.
242
Thank you.
243
Thank you.
244
Thank you.

Tại sao nên thực hành nói với video này?
Khi bạn tham gia vào việc nghe và nói theo các đoạn hội thoại trong video, bạn không chỉ cải thiện khả năng ngôn ngữ của mình mà còn nắm bắt được ngữ cảnh giao tiếp thực tế. Video này cung cấp một tình huống cụ thể giữa một sinh viên và nhân viên hỗ trợ chỗ ở, nơi bạn có thể thấy cách mà người bản ngữ sử dụng ngôn ngữ trong thực tế. Bằng cách thực hành "shadow speech" hoặc "shadowing tiếng anh", bạn sẽ phát triển khả năng phản xạ nhanh chóng và tự nhiên khi giao tiếp. Điều này rất quan trọng để nâng cao sự tự tin trong việc nói tiếng Anh.
Ngữ pháp & Biểu thức trong ngữ cảnh
Trong cuộc trò chuyện, có một số cấu trúc ngữ pháp và biểu thức nổi bật mà bạn có thể áp dụng cho mình:
- “Can I help you?”: Câu hỏi lịch sự để bắt đầu một cuộc trò chuyện, thể hiện sự sẵn sàng hỗ trợ.
- “I’d like to...”: Cách diễn đạt mong muốn của bạn một cách lịch thiệp, rất hữu ích khi bạn muốn yêu cầu điều gì đó.
- “What did you have in mind for...?”: Một câu hỏi mở, khuyến khích người khác chia sẻ ý tưởng hoặc mong muốn, rất tốt cho việc trao đổi thông tin.
- “Do you want to cook for yourself or have all your meals provided?”: Cách diễn đạt rõ ràng sự lựa chọn, giúp bạn luyện tập cách diễn đạt ý kiến và sở thích của mình.
Các bẫy ngữ âm thường gặp
Khi nghe đoạn hội thoại, có một số từ và âm điệu mà bạn cần chú ý để tránh mắc lỗi:
- “accommodation”: Từ này thường được phát âm sai do âm đôi và vị trí của âm tiết. Hãy luyện nghe và nói theo để có phát âm chính xác.
- “residence”: Âm đầu và cuối của từ này có thể gây khó khăn. Đảm bảo rằng bạn phát âm rõ ràng cả hai âm đó.
- “diet”: Từ này cần chú ý đến âm 'd' và 't', dễ bị nhầm nếu không luyện tập kỹ.
Thực hành "shadow speak" với những từ này sẽ giúp bạn cải thiện khả năng phát âm và ngữ điệu. Hãy thử lặp lại các câu trong video, chú ý đến cách nhấn âm và ngắt quãng, điều này sẽ giúp bạn tiến bộ nhanh chóng trong việc giao tiếp tiếng Anh.
Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | has been done · I've just been accepted · has been written |
| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | will be played · will be given · has been done |
| Mệnh đề quan hệ who / which + mệnh đề — thêm thông tin về người hoặc vật | Island, which is · Park, which will · person who does |
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.
