This is the Cambridge First Certificate in English Listening Test, Test 2.

I'm going to give you the instructions for this test.

I'll introduce each part of the test and give you time to look at the questions.

At the start of each piece, you'll hear this sound.

You'll hear each piece twice.

Remember, while you're listening, write your answers on the question paper.

You'll have five minutes at the end of the test to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.

There will now be a pause.

Please ask any questions now because you must not speak during the test.

Now open your question paper and look at part one.

You'll hear people talking in eight different situations.

For questions 1 to 8, choose the best answer A, B or C.

1. You overhear a woman talking to her husband on a mobile phone.

What's the background to the conversation?

A. The family's holiday may have to be cancelled.

B. The woman wants to buy their son a computer.

C. Their son has schoolwork to complete before the start of term.

Listen, about Jimmy's school project.

I spoke to the computer department at work about borrowing a laptop, and apparently they're only supposed to give them out to people on company business.

So I guess Jimmy will just have to write it all out by hand and type it out when we get back.

That'll only give him two days, but what can we do?

I know he's been at home all summer, but that's Jimmy for you, and he's only 12.

I just wish his school was a bit more understanding about people's holiday arrangements.

2. You hear a phone-in programme on the radio.

Why has the man phoned?

To complain about the traffic scheme b.

To express his support for the traffic scheme.

To question the aims of the traffic scheme.

Go ahead, Paul.

I'm listening.

Well, I'm fed up with listening to all your callers moaning on about the new traffic scheme.

I mean, that woman who said it took 50 minutes to cross the city by car instead of her usual 30.

Poor thing!

Why didn't she leave the car at home and use the bus service instead?

Anyway, the aim of the new scheme isn't to make car journeys quicker.

It's for shoppers and pedestrians and cyclists and bus passengers, and it's working.

I recommend everyone to have a walk in the city centre and see for themselves.

That's all I wanted to say.

Go ahead, Paul.

I'm listening.

3. On the radio, you hear a woman talking about her house.

What has she recently done?

A. Decided to move to another area.

B. Solved a problem that she had.

C. Made improvements to her house.

I do sometimes think about moving.

I can't deny it.

But when you've lived in a house for as long as I have, you learn to accept its drawbacks, and you stop always trying to change things.

Here, the garden is a bit big for me to cope with as I would like, but now I've got someone who comes in once a week to help me out,

and things have definitely improved.

So I think I'll be staying put for just a little bit longer.

4. You overhear two people discussing a friend.

What language does their friend usually speak at home?

A. French B.

English C.

Italian I had dinner at Mark's house last night.

His father made a delicious Italian dessert.

Oh yes, his parents are Italian, aren't they?

I keep forgetting that because Mark's English is so good.

Of course it is.

He was born in Texas.

And his mother's not Italian.

She's French.

That's what they all speak to each other.

Though they used English when I was there.

Mark has to go to classes on Saturdays to learn to read and write Italian.

To hear him speak on the phone to his grandmother in Rome, you'd think it was his first language.

5. You hear a man talking about an activity holiday he went on as a child with his family.

100

How did he feel during the holiday?

101

A. Bored by the climbing.

102

B. Upset with his father.

103

C. Disappointed with the rowing boat.

104

As a child, all our holidays were in Scotland because my father was very keen on climbing, and he insisted we went climbing every day.

105

One day, the weather stopped us going climbing, much to my relief, so we hired a rowing boat on the lake.

106

My father complained it was uncomfortable and slow.

107

He preferred motorboats, but I sat there and thought, this feels good, even though the boat was old and creaky.

108

After that, I just got the bug really and I've been rowing ever since.

109

And the boats now are better than that first one in Scotland.

110

116

6. You hear the beginning of a radio programme.

117

What's the programme going to be about?

118

A. Child development.

119

B. The environment.

120

C. A form of entertainment.

121

As any parent or child carer knows, it's pointless buying drums or expensive instruments for small children.

122

Give them a wooden spoon, a saucepan lid and a cardboard box and they'll happily bang away for hours.

123

So you could say that the group named Thump are simply having their second childhood.

124

Just over seven years ago, this small band of street performers from the north of England

125

decided to turn their routine with metal rubbish bins and bicycle chains into a stage show.

126

They now have five separate groups working nightly across the country

127

and are just about to begin their first tour of the USA.

139

australia c to advise people how to set up a flat

140

agency mark this new project you've got this uh flat agency has this arisen from your own experience

141

or what uh both from bitter personal experience of having to find somewhere to live in Edinburgh over the last few years,

142

crossing the city from one corner to the next and turning up at hundreds of places which weren't suitable.

143

And also it was taken from an idea in Australia where a similar service was set up,

144

and I thought, well, let's try and take out some of the misery of trying to find a flat here in Scotland.

145

Mark, this new project you've got, this flat agency, has this arisen from your own experience or what?

146

152

A. An arts review.

153

B. An interview.

154

C. A quiz show.

155

And now, Mr Harmon, what I want to ask you is in which of Shakespeare's plays does the character Queen Titania appear?

156

Let me think for a moment.

157

Well, it was one of the comedies.

158

I believe she was a fairy.

159

I can tell you that it was performed at the Regent Theatre last year starring Evelyn Thomas and had excellent reviews.

160

I don't remember that.

161

Now, is it Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare?

162

Indeed it is.

163

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.
