Test 4.
2
This is the IELTS listening test.
3
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
4
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
5
All the recordings will be played once only.
6
The test is in four parts.
7
At the end of the test,
8
you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
9
Now turn to part one.
10
Part one.
11
You will hear a man phoning to inquire about a cleaning service for his apartment.
12
First, you have some time to look at questions one to five.
13
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
14
Hello, Easy Life Cleaning Services, Jacinta speaking.
15
Oh, hello.
16
I'm looking for a cleaning service for my apartment.
17
Do you do domestic cleaning?
18
Sure.
19
Well, it's just a one-bedroom flat.
20
Do you have a basic cleaning package?
21
Yes.
22
For a one bedroom flat,
23
we're probably looking at about two hours for a clean,
24
so we'd do a thorough clean of all surfaces in each room and polish them where necessary.
25
Does your apartment have carpets?
26
No, I don't have any,
27
but the floor would need cleaning.
28
Of course.
29
We'd do that in every room.
30
And we'd do a thorough clean of the kitchen and bathroom.
31
Oh, OK.
32
Then we have some additional services,
33
which you can request if you want.
34
So for example, we can clean your oven for you every week.
35
Actually, I hardly ever use that.
36
But can you do the fridge?
37
Sure.
38
Would you like that done every week?
39
Yes, definitely.
40
And would ironing clothes be an additional service you can do?
41
Yes, of course.
42
It wouldn't be much, just my shirts for work that week.
43
That's fine.
44
And we could also clean your microwave if you want.
45
No, I wipe that out pretty regularly,
46
so there's no need for that.
47
We also offer additional services that you might want a bit less often, say every month.
48
So, for example, if the inside of your windows need cleaning,
49
we could do that.
50
Yes, that'd be good.
51
I'm on the 15th floor,
52
so the outside gets done regularly by specialists.
53
but the inside does get a bit grubby.
54
And we could arrange for your curtains to get cleaned if necessary.
55
No, they're okay.
56
But would you be able to do something about the balcony?
57
It's quite small and I don't use it much,
58
but it could do with a wash every month or so.
59
Yes, we can get the pressure washer onto that.
60
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
61
you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
62
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
63
Now if you're interested, we do offer some other possibilities to do with general maintenance.
64
For example, if you have a problem with water and you need a plumber in a hurry,
65
we can put you in touch with a reliable one who can come out straight away.
66
And the same thing if you need an electrician.
67
Right, that's good to know.
68
I've only just moved here,
69
so I don't have any of those sorts of contacts.
70
And I don't know if this is of interest to you,
71
but we also offer a special vacuum cleaning system
72
which can improve the indoor air quality of your home by capturing up to 99% of all the dust in the air.
73
So if you're troubled by allergies,
74
this can make a big difference.
75
Right.
76
In fact, I don't have that sort of problem,
77
but I'll bear it in mind.
78
Now, can you tell me a bit about your cleaning staff?
79
Of course.
80
So all our cleaners are very carefully selected.
81
When they apply to us,
82
they have to undergo a security check with the police to make sure they don't have any sort of criminal background.
83
And of course, they have to provide references as well.
84
Then if we think they might be suitable for the job,
85
we give them training for it.
86
That lasts for two weeks,
87
so it's very thorough, and at the end of it they have a test.
88
If they pass that, we take them on,
89
but we monitor them very carefully.
90
We ask all our clients to complete a review of their performance after every visit and to email it to us,
91
so we can pick up any problems straight away and deal with them.
92
OK, well, that all sounds good.
93
And will I always have the same cleaner?
94
Yes, we do our best to organise it that way,
95
and we usually manage it.
96
Good, that's fine.
97
Right, so I'd like to go ahead and...
98
Thank you.

推薦影片
背景與上下文
在本次影片中,您將收聽一段關於清潔服務的對話。對話主要涉及一位男士打電話詢問清潔服務的細節,目的是為他的公寓尋找合適的清潔方案。清潔服務提供者通過簡潔的對話,回答了男士關於服務內容、價格及其他額外服務的提問。這類場景在日常生活中非常常見,因此理解和掌握相關用語對於提升日常交流能力尤為重要。
日常交流中的五個常用短語
- Do you do domestic cleaning? - 你們提供家庭清潔服務嗎?
- Do you have a basic cleaning package? - 你們有基礎清潔套餐嗎?
- Actually, I hardly ever use that. - 事實上,我幾乎不使用那個。
- Would you like that done every week? - 你希望每週都進行清潔嗎?
- Yes, that'd be good. - 是的,這樣很好。
逐步跟讀指南
為了更好地提高英語發音和口語能力,採用英語影子跟讀的方法是非常有幫助的。在收聽本影片時,請按照以下步驟進行:
- 先聽後看:開始時,先收聽對話並瞭解大意。然後,檢視對應的文本,確認每一句話的意思。
- 逐句跟讀:選擇一小段對話,先聽一次,然後暫停,試著模仿對話中的發音和語調。這是一種有效的shadowspeak方法,能幫助提高發音及語感。
- 注意重音與節奏:觀察說話者重音的放置以及語調的變化,嘗試在跟讀時復現這些音調特徵,這將有助於聲音的自然流暢。
- 重複練習:每天抽出幾分鐘時間進行重複練習,直到能流利模仿對話的內容為止。同時也可以利用各類shadowing site進行反覆練習。
- 錄音與對比:在練習後的最後一步,推薦錄下自己的聲音與原聲對比,這樣可以清楚地瞭解自己的進步與不足。
通過以上步驟,並結合日常生活中常用的短語,您將能夠有效地提高英語聽說能力,變得更加自信。堅持下去,您會發現自身的口語水平有顯著提升!
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
