6
Now turn to part one.
7
Part 1 You will hear a woman from a job agency
8
giving information to a man about work in a chain of restaurants.
9
First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
10
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
11
So I understand you're interested in restaurant work.
12
Yes, I've got a bit of experience and I can provide references.
13
That's good.
14
I can check all that later.
15
Now, Milo's restaurants have some vacancies at the moment.
16
They're a really good company to work for.
17
Lots of benefits.
18
Oh, right.
19
Yes.
20
They've got a very good reputation for looking after staff.
21
For example, all employees get training, even temporary staff.
22
Oh, really?
23
That's quite unusual, isn't it?
24
Certainly is.
25
And do staff get free uniforms too?
26
Um, you just need to wear a white t -shirt and black trousers, it says here, so I guess not.
27
But another benefit of working for a big company like this is
28
that you can get a discount at any of their restaurants.
29
Even at weekends?
30
No, but you'll be working then anyway.
31
Oh yes, I suppose so.
32
Um, most of their restaurants are in the city centre, aren't they?
33
So easy to get to by bus?
34
Yes, that's right.
35
But if you have to do a late shift and finish work after midnight, the company will pay for you to get a taxi home.
36
I probably won't need one.
37
I think I'd use my bike.
38
Okay.
39
Now, they do have some quite specific requirements for the kind of person they're looking for.
40
Milo's is a young, dynamic company, and they're really keen on creating a strong team.
41
It's really important that you can fit in and get on well with everyone.
42
Yeah, I've got no problem with that.
43
It sounds good, actually.
44
The last place I worked for was quite demanding too.
45
We had to make sure we gave a really high level of service.
46
That's good to hear, because that will be equally important at Milo's.
47
I know they want people who have an eye for detail.
48
That's fine.
49
I'm very used to working in that kind of environment.
50
Perfect.
51
So the only other thing that's required is good communication skills, so you'll need to have a certificate in English.
52
Sure.
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
OK, let's have a look at the current job vacancies at Milo's.
56
The first one is in Wivenhoe Street.
57
Sorry, where?
58
Wivenhoe.
59
W -I -V -E -N -H -O -E.
60
It's quite central, just off Cork Street.
61
Oh, right.
62
They're looking for a breakfast supervisor.
63
That would be OK.
64
So, you're probably familiar with the kind of responsibilities involved.
65
Obviously checking that all the portions are correct, etc. And then things like checking all the procedures for cleaning the equipment are being followed.
66
Oh, OK.
67
And what about the salary?
68
In my last job I was getting £9 .50 per hour.
69
I was hoping to get a bit more than that.
70
Well, to begin with you'd be getting £9 .75.
71
but that goes up to £11 .25 after three months.
72
That's not too bad.
73
And I suppose it's a very early start.
74
That's the only unattractive thing about this job.
75
But then you have the afternoons and evenings free.
76
So the restaurant starts serving breakfast from 7am and you'd have to be there at 5 .30 to set everything up.
77
But you'd be finished at 12 .30.
78
Well, as you say, there are advantages to that.
79
Now you might also be interested in the job at the City Road branch.
80
That's for a junior chef, so again a position of responsibility.
81
I might prefer that actually.
82
Right.
83
Well, obviously this role would involve supporting the sous chef and other senior staff,
84
and you'd be responsible for making sure there's enough stock each week and sorting out all the deliveries.
85
I've never done that before, but I imagine it's fairly straightforward once you get the hang of it.
86
Yes, and you'd be working alongside more experienced staff to begin with, so I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.
87
The salary's slightly higher here.
88
It's an annual salary of £23 ,000.
89
Right.
90
I know that if they like you, it's likely you'll be promoted quite quickly, so that's worth thinking about.
91
Yes, it does sound interesting.
92
What are the hours like?
93
The usual, I think.
94
There's a lot of evening and weekend work, but they're closed on Mondays.
95
But you do get one Sunday off every four weeks.
96
So would you like me to send off your CV?
97
That is the end of part one.
98
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
99
Thank you.
100
Part 2 You will hear a talk to members of the
101
public about plans for a new housing development near a town called Nunston.
102
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
103
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.
104
Hello everyone.
105
It's good to see that
106
so many members of the public have shown up for our
107
presentation on the new housing development planned on the outskirts of Nunston.
108
I'm Mark Reynolds and I'm communications manager at the development.
109
I'll start by giving you a brief overview of our plans for the development.
110
So one thing I'm sure you'll want to know is why we've selected this particular site for a housing development.
111
At present it's being used for farming, like much of the land around Nunston.
112
But because of the new industrial centre in Nunston, there's a lot of demand for housing for employees in the region,
113
as many employees are having to commute long distances at present.
114
Of course, there's also the fact that we have an international airport just 20 minutes drive away.
115
But although that's certainly convenient, it wasn't one of our major criteria for choosing the site.
116
We were more interested in the fact that there's an excellent hospital, just 15 kilometres away.
117
And a large secondary school even closer than that.
118
One drawback to the site is that it's on quite a steep slope,
119
but we've taken account of that in our planning, so it shouldn't be a major problem.
120
We've had a lot of positive feedback about the plans.
121
People like the wide variety of accommodation types and prices,
122
and the fact that it's only a short drive to get out into the countryside from the development.
123
We were particularly pleased that so many people liked the designs for the layout of the development,
124
with the majority of people saying it generally made a good impression
125
and blended in well with the natural features of the landscape, with provision made for protecting trees and wildlife on the site.
126
Some people have mentioned that they'd like to see more facilities for cyclists.
127
And we'll look at that, but the overall feedback has been that the design
128
and facilities of the development make it seem a place where people of all ages can live together happily.
129
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
130
Thank you.
131
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
132
OK, so I'll put a map of the proposed development up on the screen.
133
You'll see it's bounded on the south side by the main road, which then goes on to Nunston.
134
Another boundary is formed by London Road on the western side of the development.
135
Inside the development there'll be about 400 houses and three apartment blocks.
136
There'll also be a school for children up to 11 years old.
137
If you look at the south entrance at the bottom of the map, there's a road from there that
138
It goes right up through the development.
139
The school will be on that road, at the corner of the second turning to the left.
140
A large sports centre is planned with facilities for indoor and outdoor activities.
141
This will be on the western side of the development, just below the road that branches off from London Road.
142
There will be a clinic where residents can go if they have any health problems.
143
Can you see the lake towards the top of the map?
144
The clinic will be just below this, to the right of a street of houses.
145
There will also be a community centre for people of all ages.
146
On the north -east side of the development, there will be a row of specially designed houses specifically for residents over 65,
147
and the community centre will be adjoining this.
148
We haven't forgotten about shopping.
149
There'll be a supermarket between the two entrances to the development.
150
We're planning to leave the three large trees near London Road, and it'll be just to the south of these.
151
It's planned to have a playground for younger children.
152
If you look at the road that goes up from the south entrance, you'll see it curves round to the left at the top
153
and the playground will be in that curve with nice views of the lake.
154
Okay, so now does anyone have any questions?
155
That is the end of part 2.
156
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part 2.
157
Thank you.
158
Part 3 You will hear two geography students,
159
Adam and Michelle, talking about a volcanic eruption which took place in Iceland in 1783.
160
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
161
Thank you.
162
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
163
So, Michelle, shall we make a start on our presentation?
164
We haven't got that much time left.
165
No, Adam, but at least we've done all the background reading.
166
I found it really interesting.
167
I'd never even heard of the Larky eruption before this.
168
Me neither.
169
I suppose 1783 is a long time ago.
170
But it was a huge eruption and it had such devastating consequences.
171
I know.
172
It was great there were so many primary sources to look at.
173
It really gives you a sense of how catastrophic the volcano was.
174
People were really trying to make sense of the science for the first time.
175
That's right.
176
But what I found more significant was how it impacted directly and indirectly on political events,
177
as well as having massive social and economic consequences.
178
I know.
179
That should be the main focus of our presentation.
180
The observations made by people at the time were interesting, weren't they?
181
I mean, they all gave a pretty consistent account of what happened, even if they didn't always use the same terminology.
182
Yeah.
183
I was surprised there were so many weather stations established by that time.
184
So you know, you can see how the weather changed often by the hour.
185
Right.
186
Writers at the time talked about the larky haze to describe the volcanic fog that spread across Europe.
187
They all realised that this wasn't the sort of fog they were used to.
188
And, of course, this was in pre -industrial times, so they hadn't experienced sulphur -smelling fog before.
189
No, that's true.
190
Reports from the period blamed the haze for an increase in headaches, respiratory issues and asthma attacks.
191
And they all describe how it covered the sun and made it look a strange red colour.
192
Hmm, must have been very weird.
193
It's interesting that
194
Benjamin Franklin wrote about the haze.
195
Did you read that?
196
He was the American ambassador in Paris at the time.
197
Yeah.
198
At first no one realised that the haze was caused by the volcanic eruption in Iceland.
199
It was Benjamin Franklin who realised that before anyone else.
200
He's often credited with that apparently.
201
But a French naturalist beat him to it.
202
I can't remember his name.
203
I'd have to look it up.
204
Then other naturalists had the same idea.
205
All independently of each other.
206
Oh, right.
207
We should talk about the immediate impact of the eruption, which was obviously enormous, especially in Iceland where so many people died.
208
Hmm.
209
You'd expect that.
210
And the fact that the volcanic ash drifted so swiftly, but not that the effects would go on for so long.
211
Or that two years after the eruption, strange weather events were being reported as far away as North America and North Africa.
212
No, I found all that hard to believe, too.
213
It must have been terrible, and there was nothing anyone could do about it, even if they knew the ash cloud was coming in their direction.
214
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
215
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
216
We should run through some of the terrible consequences of the eruption experienced in different countries.
217
There's quite a varied range.
218
Starting with Iceland, where the impact on farming was devastating.
219
One of the most dramatic things there was the effect on livestock as they grazed in the fields.
220
They were poisoned because they ate vegetation that had been contaminated with fluorine as a result of the volcanic fallout.
221
That was horrible.
222
In Egypt, the bizarre weather patterns led to a severe drought, and as a result the Nile didn't flood, which meant the crops all failed.
223
It's so far from where the eruption happened, and yet the famine there led to more people dying than any other country.
224
It was worse than the plague.
225
OK.
226
Then in the UK the mortality rate went up a lot, presumably from respiratory illnesses.
227
According to one report, it was about double the usual number and included an unusually high percentage of people under the age of 25.
228
Hmm, I think people will be surprised to hear that the weather in the USA was badly affected too.
229
George Washington even makes a note in his diary that they were snowbound until March in Virginia.
230
That was before he became president.
231
Yes, and there was ice floating down the Mississippi, which was unprecedented.
232
Oh, astonishing really.
233
Anyway, what do you think we should include next?
234
That is the end of part 3.
235
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part 3.
236
Part 4.
237
You will hear a student on a fashion design course giving a talk about the history of pockets.
238
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
239
Thank you.
240
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
241
Good morning.
242
Now, we've been asked to choose an aspect of European clothing or fashion and to talk about its development over time.
243
I decided to focus on a rather small area of clothing, and that's pockets.
244
I chose pockets for two reasons, really.
245
We all have them in jeans, jackets, coats, for example.
246
And even though we often carry bags or briefcases as well, nothing is quite as convenient as being able to pop your phone
247
or credit card into your pocket pocket yet i suspect
248
that other than that people don't really think about pockets too much
249
and they're rather overlooked as a fashion item it's certainly very interesting to go back in time
250
and see how pockets developed for men
251
and women in the 18th century fashions were quite different from the way they are now, and pockets were too.
252
If we think about male fashion first, that was the time when suits became popular.
253
Trousers were knee -length only, and referred to as breeches.
254
The waistcoats were short, and the jackets were long.
255
But all three garments were lined with material and pockets were sewn into this cloth by whichever tailor the customer used.
256
The wearer could then carry small objects such as pencils or coins on their person, and reach them through a gap in the lining.
257
Coat pockets became increasingly decorative on the outside for men who wanted to look stylish.
258
But they were often larger but plainer if the wearer was someone with a profession who needed to carry medical instruments,
259
a doctor or physician for example.
260
The development of women's pockets was a little different.
261
For one thing, they weren't nearly as visible or as easy to reach as men's.
262
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, women carried numerous possessions on their person, and some of these could be worth a lot of money.
263
Women were more vulnerable to theft, and wealthy women, in particular, worried constantly about pickpockets.
264
So, what they did was to have a pair of pockets made that were tied together with string.
265
The pockets were made of fabric, which might be recycled cloth if the wearer had little money, or something more expensive, such as linen,
266
sometimes featuring very delicate embroidery.
267
Women tied the pockets around their waist, so that they hung beneath their clothes.
268
Remember, skirts were long then, and there was plenty of room to hide a whole range of small possessions between the layers of petticoats
269
that were commonly worn.
270
They would have an opening in the folds of their skirts, through which they could reach whatever they needed, like their perfume home.
271
Working women, of course, also needed to carry around items that they might use for whatever job or trade they were involved in,
272
but their pairs of pockets still remained on the inside of their clothing.
273
They just got bigger or longer, sometimes reaching down to their knees.
274
So, the tie -on pockets went well into the 19th century
275
and only changed when fashion altered towards the end of that period.
276
That's when dresses became tighter and less bulky and the pairs of pockets became very noticeable.
277
They stood out too much and detracted from the woman's image.
278
Women who had been used to carrying around a range of personal possessions and still wanted to,
279
needed somewhere to carry these items about their person.
280
That was when small bags, or pouches as they were known, came into fashion, and of course,
281
they inevitably led onto the handbag of more modern times, particularly when fashion removed pockets altogether.
282
That is the end of part four.
283
You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.
284
Thank you.
285
Thank you.

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.
