Test 4.

This is the IELTS Listening Test.

You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.

There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.

All the recordings will be played once only.

The test is in four parts.

At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

Now turn to part one.

Part one.

You will hear an interviewer who is doing a survey asking a man some questions about shopping.

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.

Good morning.

I'm doing a survey of shoppers in Broadbeach.

Would you have a few minutes to spare to answer some questions?

Oh, um, yes, I guess it would be OK.

Thank you very much.

Everybody seems so busy today.

Well, actually, I don't have loads of time, so...

Oh, yes, of course.

It really won't take long.

Could I start by taking your name, please?

Martin Lee.

Martins with a Y.

And is your family name spelt L-double-E?

It's L-E-I-G-H.

Thank you.

We don't actually publish your name or details.

It just makes it easier for me to identify people when I look at all the results at the end.

I see.

And can I ask, how did you get into town today?

Well, normally I catch the bus, but I'm on my motorbike today because I'm going to work later.

And could you tell me what you're doing this morning?

I mean, the reason for your trip into town.

Well, I've just been to the hairdresser.

You see, I have a job interview at the council in a few days.

Oh, really?

Well, good luck with that.

Thanks a lot.

And now I'm on my way to buy a suit that I can wear to the interview.

I don't actually own one at the moment.

OK.

Is that everything you're planning to do in town?

Yeah.

Well, I've got to go and pick up my laptop.

It broke a couple of days ago, so I took it to the shop to get it fixed.

They had to order a spare part, but apparently it's ready for collection now.

I can't wait to get it back.

I'm sure.

I hate it when my technology breaks down.

One more thing.

It's Saturday today.

Is that when you like to do your shopping?

Well, it's more of a question of when I'm free.

If I'm free on a Monday, that's when I choose to come into town.

The shops are less busy then, which I always prefer.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.

Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.

So, I'd like to ask you a few more questions to get your views about shopping in Broadbeach, if that's OK.

Sure.

What would you like to know specifically?

What would you say you like best about the shops here?

I'd probably say it's the service you get wherever you go.

OK.

And what do you think about the range of shops in Broadbeach?

Oh, you can get almost anything you want here.

And what about recent changes?

What do you like and dislike about them?

For example, there are a lot of new coffee shops now.

Are you enjoying them?

No, there are too many of them.

It's a shame as those places could be occupied by other kinds of shops.

What would you like to see instead?

Well, I think we have enough clothing shops, but there's only one place that sells books at the moment.

It'd be nice to have a choice, you know.

Right.

And have you been to the new shopping centre outside Broadbeach yet, Martin?

Yes, once or twice.

It's not that far from where I live.

It's a very modern-looking building, isn't it?

Yes, and it's lovely.

The glass roof is certainly impressive, but my favourite thing is the plants they've put around the building.

They're amazing and so big already.

And what about the entertainment facilities?

Have you used any of them yet?

Like the new cinema?

Nah, not yet.

I can't see any advantage in having it there because the one in town is actually bigger.

Okay, well thank you so much for your time.

That is the end of part one.

You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

Thank you.

Part 2 You will hear a podcast about a large business exhibition which is held every year in London.

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.

Hello, and welcome to this podcast telling you about our annual business exhibition.

This year, as always, it will be full of the very best speakers, features and innovations.

Let me start by reading some feedback from James Craig, who has exhibited with us for the past two years.

James says, I'm director of a company called TalkCon, which is an office phone system.

100

The first year we exhibited, we had a stand in the business village, where we made a lot of useful contacts.

101

We also used the breakout area, where people could sit down and relax and try out our products.

102

And due to popular request, we used that again last year.

103

Last year we also sponsored the innovative Business Connection Zone, where people could leave their contact details on a board to contact other companies,

104

and that also effectively raised our corporate profile.

105

We're hoping that in the coming exhibition we'll also have a presence in the Digital Marketing Centre, which is clearly a key area for our company,

106

and also maybe have our own TalkCon Zone at some stage.

107

The exhibitions open from 8am to 11pm and there's a range of special events for you to enjoy in the evening.

108

As well as a unique chance to publicise your company, businesses who exhibit with us can claim discounts on a number of popular brands,

109

including major high street fashion and jewellery outlets, as well as grocery chains.

110

Discounts available range from 3.5% up to an amazing 15%, so you can save a lot of money.

111

In fact, the average saving made by each exhibitor came to over £400.

112

The scheme is available to every member of your organisation, so this is a benefit that really does have something for you all.

113

Before you hear the rest of the podcast, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.

114

Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.

115

Now let me tell you about some of our keynote speakers for this year's exhibition.

116

Jim Clowry started off selling vegetables from a small plot, then opened a small cafe.

117

Rather to his surprise, this became a bit of a sensation, and in a remarkably short time,

118

he had opened an amazing 76 restaurants worldwide.

119

He'll be telling you how it all happened and how it changed his life.

120

David France will be giving an inspirational talk about how, as a business-minded teenager, he managed to set up his own company,

121

and even to be the first person under 18 to get a business bank account.

122

David's company has gone from strength to strength, but he isn't just interested in making money.

123

He also makes regular donations to organisations, helping those in need both in the UK and elsewhere in the world.

124

Oliver Stanton was born and educated in the UK

125

and then went to Malaysia where he set up a rubber wood furniture business.

126

He then built log houses in the mountains in Japan before moving to Hong Kong to set up a digital marketing business.

127

After that, he moved back to the UK with his wife Sai Pin and together they opened a Thai cafe.

128

He'll be telling you about what he discovered during his travels around the world about business practices in different cultures.

129

Francesca Heptonstall is a broadcaster and businesswoman who's known for her down-to-earth attitude.

130

After winning a top job in a TV contest, she launched a number of online deal sites.

131

Her main business interest is in technology,

132

but she's also passionate about helping people gain employment and organises an annual jobs fair, so she'll be concentrating on this in her talk.

133

Salman Khan is the Chief Executive of QBF Enterprises

134

and has turned around this business from a major publishing business to one of the UK's largest digital marketing service providers.

135

He'll be talking about the need for flexibility to cope with new directions in today's business world.

136

Finally, Annie Craven is a consultant and coach who works with people to create lasting changes in their business and life.

137

Her session will offer an interactive look at different obstacles in people's own lives, not just in business.

138

She also looks at how you can overcome them, whether you're starting out in business or at the top of your game.

139

Now let me turn to the next...

140

That is the end of part two.

141

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.

142

Part 3.

143

You will hear two architecture students, called Mia and Leo, discussing their presentation on houses of the future.

144

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 23.

145

Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 23.

146

You know that joint presentation we've got to do this semester, Leo?

147

On houses of the future?

148

That's right.

149

I'm a bit concerned.

150

Are we meant to come up with creative new suggestions for these houses?

151

I don't think so.

152

It's more a matter of reporting and evaluating possible developments.

153

But we mustn't be too general.

154

We've got to support our points by referring to specific cases.

155

So that'll need a lot of work.

156

I'm afraid so.

157

When's it got to be done by?

158

In about six weeks, so that's not too much of a rush.

159

Good.

160

We'd better decide now what type of housing we're going to focus on.

161

How about housing for different generations living together?

162

We could do.

163

Or accommodation for one person.

164

I think someone else is doing that.

165

I was wondering about housing for the elderly.

166

That's likely to become more important.

167

Yeah, that's true.

168

But I think your suggestion about intergenerational living might be more interesting.

169

Let's go with that.

170

OK.

171

Now, I think the future demand is mainly going to be for accommodation in urban areas.

172

So one way of meeting that demand might be to use existing commercial buildings and adapt them to form accommodation.

173

Hmm.

174

Or come up with original ways of organising space so that people can live in smaller homes.

175

But I think the solution is to design multi-storey apartment blocks.

176

Building up rather than out, yes.

177

Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 24 to 30.

178

Now listen and answer questions 24 to 30.

179

Let's think of some specific developments for houses of the future.

180

OK.

181

How about increased use of roof space on high-rise buildings for gardens?

182

Yes.

183

In fact, it doesn't have to be high-rise.

184

You can do it on a one-storey building in a suburb.

185

But it would greatly improve how you feel if you live in an urban high-rise.

186

Especially if you don't have a balcony.

187

Yes.

188

I think homes of the future will all need access to a shared working space, somewhere in the same building or group of houses,

189

where people can go and work instead of just having a laptop on the kitchen table.

190

Yes, so they aren't having to travel to an office but can still interact with others.

191

That's often how new ideas get generated, by chatting to someone from a different profession.

192

Yeah, I read about a type of design where the internal walls of an apartment are movable,

193

so the space can be adapted over time as people's needs change.

194

Like when children leave school and start working

195

but still continue to live with their parents for many years or when an elderly relative moves in with the family.

196

It would mean they could still have their own space specially designed for their needs.

197

Yes.

198

Have you heard about those smart bathroom mirrors which can monitor people's health?

199

They recognise signs of illness and contact a doctor automatically.

200

Hmm, not so sure they're a good idea.

201

Nor am I.

202

People might worry about conditions which aren't serious at all.

203

What about transport?

204

Wouldn't it be good if there were bike sheds with charging points, so people could store their electric bikes securely and charge them up at the same time?

205

Yes.

206

That would encourage more people to cycle instead of using their car.

207

Much better for the planet.

208

I read about one housing development where cars had to be left just outside it, so the centre was all a pedestrianised area.

209

Great for families with children.

210

Maybe.

211

But what if you're disabled or elderly and can't walk far?

212

It wouldn't be so good for people like that.

213

No. I saw a scheme for communal vegetable plots where neighbours could decide what to grow together.

214

That'd be a great way for older people to get to know one another, especially if they're no longer going out to work.

215

Yes, doing something together is always more enjoyable, isn't it?

216

Do you think we might be able to look into...

217

That is the end of part three.

218

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.

219

Part 4.

220

You will hear part of a lecture to medical students about playing music to patients who are in hospital for surgery.

221

First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.

222

Thank you.

223

Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

224

Today's lecture is about studies that look at how music therapy can be used to help patients who undergo surgery.

225

Now, most people undergo a surgical procedure at some point in their lives, and more than 51 million operations are performed annually in the USA.

226

But there's no escaping the fact that most patients feel uncomfortable following surgery.

227

They may have difficulty mobilizing, and even sitting up in bed can feel too much.

228

They may also be negatively affected by having their routine disturbed, you know, like if they can't do the things they normally do.

229

or have to devote a lot of time to appointments, such as physiotherapy, to aid their recovery.

230

Currently, the main strategy for improving recovery is medication to control pain, and this can be administered to patients in the short,

231

medium, or longer term, depending on the extent of their surgery.

232

But music is still not an everyday part of the post-surgical phase, despite a wealth of relevant studies supporting its potential in recovery.

233

Earlier this year, a research team set out to assess all the available evidence

234

so that they could highlight the potential for music in surgical recovery.

235

They identified nearly 100 trials involving a total of 7,000 patients who were played recorded music as part of their post-operative care.

236

The researchers then looked at what impact the music had on the patients.

237

They discovered that patients who had been played music reported feeling happier and more satisfied in the post-operative phase,

238

and the length of their stay was shorter than for patients who had not listened to any music.

239

The researchers also explored the patients' choice of music, and their findings showed that a wide variety of music styles was evident.

240

However, a common factor was that the chosen music had a calming quality.

241

Some of the patients listened to music with headphones, but it was quiet enough not to prevent them from being able to communicate with nurses and other staff.

242

More often, though, the mode of delivery was by what are known as music pillows.

243

These broadcast sound that is only audible to the person lying on them.

244

The research involved testing music before, during, or after operations, or a combination.

245

Some patients listened to the music just once a day, while others had several episodes a day.

246

When asked to report their experience of listening to music, surgical patients said that either they had no feelings of anxiety at any point,

247

or those feelings were only slight.

248

Patients who hadn't listened to music, on the other hand, reported higher levels of dissatisfaction.

249

This feedback from all of the patients was then cross-checked against their medical notes, and in every case,

250

those who were given music to listen to didn't need as

251

much medication to ease their pain as those patients who weren't played music.

252

The type of music, patient choice and timing, before, during or after the surgery didn't make much difference.

253

And it even worked when patients were played music under general anesthetic, although the positive effects were greater when patients were awake.

254

All the evidence suggests that music has a positive effect on post-operative patients.

255

But it's not entirely clear how or why this is the case.

256

A lot of people listen to music in daily life as a way to relax and forget their problems,

257

but the researchers came to the conclusion that it worked on patients by distraction.

258

I suppose it was something familiar and gave them something they could control.

259

The researchers say there is now sufficient research to demonstrate that music should be available to all patients undergoing operations.

260

They say patients should be able to choose what they'd like to listen to.

261

And, if they prefer, recordings taken from nature can be just as good as music.

262

Surgical teams may prefer patients to listen to music before the procedure or as soon as they arrive back onto the ward.

263

Clearly, there's more to learn about this area, and the team now plan to focus their next research on the most appropriate volume to play the music at,

264

and I look forward to reading the results of their study.

265

It will be interesting to see that if it's...

266

That is the end of part four.

267

You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.

268

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.
