1
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
2
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
3
All the recordings will be played once only.
4
The test is in four sections.
5
At the end of the test, you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
6
Now turn to Section 1.
7
Section 1
8
You will hear a man phoning a woman who lives in
9
an English city called Banford to get some advice about moving to that city.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
11
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
12
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
13
Hello, Linda speaking.
14
Oh, hi Linda.
15
This is Matt Brooks.
16
Alex White gave me your number.
17
He said you'd be able to give me some advice about moving to Banford.
18
Yes, Alex did mention you.
19
How can I help?
20
Well, first of all, which area to live in?
21
Well, I live in Dalton, which is a really nice suburb.
22
Not too expensive and there's a nice park.
23
Linda recommends a suburb called Dalton, so Dalton has been written in the space.
24
Now we shall begin.
25
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
26
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
27
Hello, Linda speaking.
28
Oh, hi Linda.
29
This is Matt Brooks.
30
Alex White gave me your number.
31
He said you'd be able to give me some advice about moving to Banford.
32
Yes, Alex did mention you.
33
How can I help?
34
Well, first of all, which area to live in?
35
Well, I live in Dalton, which is a really nice suburb.
36
Not too expensive, and there's a nice park.
37
Sounds good.
38
Do you know how much it would be to rent a two -bedroom flat there?
39
Yeah, you should be able to get something reasonable for £850 per month.
40
That's what people typically pay.
41
You certainly wouldn't want to pay more than £900.
42
That doesn't include bills or anything.
43
No, that sounds all right.
44
I'll definitely have a look there.
45
Are the transport links easy from where you live?
46
Well, I'm very lucky.
47
I work in the city centre, so I don't have to use public transport.
48
I go by bike.
49
Oh, I wish I could do that.
50
Is it safe to cycle around the city?
51
Yes, it's fine.
52
And it keeps me fit.
53
Anyway, driving to work in the city centre would be a nightmare because there's hardly any parking.
54
And the traffic during the rush hour can be bad.
55
I'd be working from home, but I'd have to go to London one or two days a week.
56
Oh, that's perfect.
57
Getting to London is no problem.
58
There's a fast train every 30 minutes, which only takes 45 minutes.
59
That's good.
60
Yeah, the train service isn't bad during the week, and they run quite late at night.
61
It's weekends that are a problem.
62
They're always doing engineering work and you have to take a bus to Haddam and pick up the train there,
63
which is really slow.
64
But other than that, Banford's a great place to live.
65
I've never been happier.
66
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten.
67
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
68
There are some nice restaurants in the city centre and a brand new cinema, which has only been open a couple of months.
69
There's a good art centre too.
70
Sounds like Banford's got it all.
71
Yes, we're really lucky.
72
There are lots of really good aspects to living here.
73
The schools are good and the hospital here is one of the best in the country.
74
Everyone I know who's been there's had a positive experience.
75
Oh, I can give you the name of my dentist, too, in Bridge Street, if you're interested.
76
I've been going to him for years and I've never had any problems.
77
Oh, OK, thanks.
78
I'll find his number and send it to you.
79
Thanks.
80
That would be really helpful.
81
Are you planning to visit Banford soon?
82
Yes.
83
My wife and I are both coming next week.
84
We want to make some appointments with estate agents.
85
I could meet you if you like and show you around.
86
Are you sure?
87
We'd really appreciate that.
88
Either Tuesday or Thursday is good for me, after 5 .30.
89
Thursday's preferable.
90
Tuesday I need to get home before 6pm.
91
OK.
92
Great.
93
Let me know which train you're catching and I'll meet you in the cafe outside.
94
You can't miss it.
95
It's opposite the station and next to the museum.
96
Brilliant.
97
I'll text you next week then.
98
Thanks so much for all the advice.
99
No problem.
100
I'll see you next week.
101
That is the end of section one.
102
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
103
Now turn to section 2.
104
Section 2 You will hear a fitness instructor talking on the radio about different ways of keeping fit.
105
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
106
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
107
So, if you're one of those people who hasn't found the perfect physical activity yet,
108
here are some things to think about which might help you make the right decision for you.
109
The first question to ask yourself is whether you would enjoy training in a gym.
110
Many people are put off by the idea of having to fit a visit to the gym into their busy day.
111
You often have to go very early or late, as some gyms can get very crowded.
112
But with regular training, you'll see a big difference in a relatively short space of time.
113
Running has become incredibly popular in recent years.
114
That's probably got a lot to do with the fact that it's a very accessible form of exercise.
115
Anyone can run, even if you can only run a few metres to begin with.
116
But make sure you get the right shoes.
117
It's worth investing in a high -quality pair and they don't come cheap.
118
Another great thing about running is that you can do it at any time of day or night.
119
The only thing that may stop you is snow and ice.
120
Swimming is another really good way to build fitness.
121
What attracts many people is that you can swim in an indoor pool at any time of year.
122
On the other hand, it can be quite boring or solitary.
123
It's hard to chat to people while you're swimming lengths.
124
Cycling has become almost as popular as running in recent years.
125
That's probably because as well as improving their fitness, many people say being out in the fresh air in a park or in the countryside can be fun,
126
provided the conditions are right, of course.
127
Only fanatics go out in the wind and rain.
128
Yoga is a good choice for those of you looking for exercise which focuses on developing both a healthy mind and body.
129
It's a good way of building strength, and with the right instructor, there's less chance of hurting yourself than with other more active sports.
130
But don't expect to find it easy.
131
It can be surprisingly challenging, especially for people who aren't very flexible.
132
Getting a personal trainer is a good way to start your fitness programme.
133
Obviously there can be significant costs involved but
134
if you've got someone there to encourage you and help you achieve your goals you're less likely to give up.
135
Make sure you get someone with a recognised qualification though or you could do yourself permanent damage.
136
Before you hear the rest of the radio program, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
137
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
138
Whatever you do, don't join a gym unless you're sure you'll make good use of it.
139
So many people waste lots of money by signing up for membership and then hardly ever go.
140
What happens to their good intentions?
141
I don't think people suddenly stop caring about improving their fitness or decide they have more important things to do.
142
I think people lose interest when they don't think they're making enough progress.
143
That's when they give up hope and stop believing they'll ever achieve their goals.
144
Also, what people sometimes don't realise when they start is
145
that it takes a lot of determination and hard work to keep training week after week, and lots of people don't have that kind of commitment.
146
One thing you can do to help yourself is to set manageable goals.
147
Be realistic and don't push yourself too far.
148
Some people advise writing goals down, but I think it's better to have a flexible approach.
149
Give yourself a really nice treat every time you reach one of your goals.
150
And don't get too upset if you experience setbacks.
151
It's a journey.
152
There are bound to be difficulties along the way.
153
That is the end of Section 2.
154
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
155
Now turn.
156
to Section 3.
157
Section 3.
158
You will hear a textile design student called Jim discussing his project on using natural dyes for colouring fabrics with his tutor.
159
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
160
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
161
OK, Jim.
162
You wanted to see me about your textile design project.
163
That's right.
164
I've been looking at how a range of natural dyes can be used to colour fabrics like cotton and wool.
165
Why did you choose that topic?
166
Well, I got a lot of useful ideas from the museum, you know, at that exhibition of textiles.
167
But I've always been interested in anything to do with colour.
168
Years ago, I went to a carpet shop with my parents when we were on holiday in Turkey, and I remember all the amazing colours.
169
They might not all have been natural dyes.
170
Maybe not, but for the project I decided to follow it up.
171
And I found a great book about a botanic garden in California that specialises in plants used for dyes.
172
OK, so in your project you had to include a practical investigation.
173
Yeah, at first I couldn't decide on my variables.
174
I was going to just look at one type of fibre, for example, like cotton.
175
And see how different types of dyes affected it?
176
Yes.
177
Then I decided to include others as well.
178
So I looked at cotton and wool and nylon.
179
With just one type of dye?
180
Various types, including some that weren't natural, for comparison.
181
OK.
182
So I did the experiments last week.
183
I used some ready -made natural dyes.
184
I found a website which supplied them.
185
They came in just a few days, but I also made some of my own.
186
That must have taken quite a bit of time.
187
Yes.
188
I thought it'd just be a matter of a teaspoon or so of dye, and actually that wasn't the case at all.
189
Like, I was using one vegetable, a beetroot, for a red dye, and I had to chop up a whole pile of it.
190
So it all took longer than I'd expected.
191
One possibility is to use food colourings.
192
I did use one.
193
That was a yellow dye, an artificial one.
194
Tatrazine?
195
Yeah.
196
I used it on cotton first.
197
It came out a great colour but when I rinsed the material, the colour just washed away.
198
I'd been going to try it out on nylon, but I abandoned that idea.
199
Were you worried about health issues?
200
I thought if it's illegal food colouring, it must be safe.
201
Well, it can occasionally cause allergic reactions, I believe.
202
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
203
Thank you.
204
30. So what natural dyes did you look at?
205
Well, one was turmeric.
206
The colour's great.
207
It's a really strong yellow.
208
It's generally used in dishes like curry.
209
It's meant to be quite good for your health when eaten, but you might find it's not permanent when it's used as a dye.
210
A few washes and it's gone.
211
Right.
212
I used beetroot as a dye for wool.
213
When I chop up beetroot to eat, I always end up with bright red hands.
214
But the wool ended up just a sort of watery cream shade.
215
Disappointing.
216
There's a natural dye called Tyrian purple.
217
Have you heard of that?
218
Yes.
219
It comes from a shellfish, and it was worn in ancient times, but only by important people, as it was so rare.
220
I didn't use it.
221
It fell out of use centuries ago, though one researcher managed to get hold of some recently.
222
But that shade of purple can be produced by chemical dyes nowadays.
223
Did you use any black dyes?
224
Logwood.
225
That was quite complicated.
226
I had to prepare the fabric so the dye would take.
227
I hope you were careful to wear gloves.
228
Yes, I know the danger with that dye.
229
Good, it can be extremely dangerous if it's ingested.
230
Now, presumably you had a look at an insect -based dye, like cochineal, for example.
231
Yes, I didn't actually make that.
232
I didn't have time to start crushing up insects to get the red colour.
233
And anyway, they're not available here.
234
But I managed to get the dye quite easily from a website.
235
But it cost a fortune.
236
I can see why it's generally just used in cooking and in small quantities.
237
Yes, it's very effective, but that's precisely why it's not used as a dye.
238
I also read about using metal oxide.
239
Apparently you can allow iron to rust while it's in contact with the fabric, and that colours it.
240
Yes, that works well for dyeing cotton.
241
But you have to be careful as the metal can actually affect the fabric, and so you can't expect to get a lot of wear out of fabrics treated in this way.
242
And the colours are quite subtle.
243
Not everyone likes them.
244
Anyway, it looks as if you've done a lot of work.
245
Now turn to section 4.
246
Section 4
247
You will hear part of a biology lecture about an animal called the sleepy lizard that is common in parts of Australia.
248
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
249
Thank you.
250
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
251
Last week we started looking at reptiles, including crocodiles and snakes.
252
Today I'd like us to have a look at another reptile, the lizard, and in particular,
253
at some studies that have been done on a particular type of lizard whose Latin name is Tiliqua rugosa.
254
This is commonly known as the sleepy lizard
255
because it's quite slow in its movements
256
and spends quite a lot of its time dozing under rocks or lying in the sun.
257
I'll start with a general description.
258
Sleepy lizards live in Western and South Australia where they're quite common.
259
Unlike European lizards, which are mostly small, green and fast moving, sleepy lizards are brown,
260
but what's particularly distinctive about them is the colour of their tongue, which is dark blue, in contrast with the lining of their mouth, which is bright pink.
261
And they're much bigger than most European lizards.
262
They have quite a varied diet, including insects and even small animals, but they mostly eat plants of varying kinds.
263
Even though they're quite large and powerful, with strong jaws that can crush beetles and snail shells, they still have quite a few predators.
264
Large birds like cassowaries were one of the main ones in the past, but nowadays they're more likely to be caught and killed by snakes.
265
Actually, another threat to their survival isn't a predator at all.
266
but is man -made.
267
Quite a large number of sleepy lizards are killed by cars when they're trying to cross highways.
268
One study carried out by Michael Freak at Flinders University investigated the methods of navigation of these lizards.
269
Though they move slowly, they can travel quite long distances.
270
And he found that even if they were taken some distance away from their home territory, they could usually find their way back home as long as they could see the sky.
271
They didn't need any other landmarks on the ground.
272
Observations of these lizards in the wild have also revealed that their mating habits are quite unusual.
273
Unlike most animals, it seems that they're relatively monogamous, returning to the same partner year after year.
274
And the male and female also stay together for a long time, both before and after the birth of their young.
275
It's quite interesting to think about the possible reasons for this.
276
It could be that it's to do with protecting their young.
277
You'd expect them to have a much better chance of survival if they have both parents around.
278
But in fact, observers have noted that once the babies have hatched out of their eggs, they have hardly any contact with their parents,
279
so there's not really any evidence to support that idea.
280
Another suggestion is based on the observation that male lizards in monogamous relationships tend to be bigger and stronger than other males.
281
So maybe the male lizards stay around so they can give the female lizards protection from other males.
282
But again, we're not really sure.
283
Finally, I'd like to mention another study that involved collecting data by tracking the lizards.
284
I was actually involved in this myself.
285
So we caught some lizards in the wild, and we developed a tiny GPS system that would allow us to track them, and we fixed this onto their tails.
286
Then we set the lizards free again, and we were able to track them for 12 days and gather data.
287
not just about their location, but even about how many steps they took during this period.
288
One surprising thing we discovered from this is that there were far fewer meetings between lizards than we expected.
289
It seems that they were actually trying to avoid one another.
290
So why would that be?
291
Well, again, we have no clear evidence, but one hypothesis is that male lizards can cause quite serious injuries to one another
292
so maybe this avoidance is a way of preventing this of self -preservation if you like
293
but we need to collect a lot more data before we can be sure of any of this.
294
That is the end of section 4.
295
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
296
That is the end of the listening test.
297
In the IELTS test, you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.

本片段的口語訓練目標
這段對話聚焦於日常生活中的實用溝通場景——詢問遷居建議，非常適合提升雅思口語練習和日常英語口語的流暢度。通過模仿對話中自然的交流節奏，學習者能掌握如何清晰表達需求、禮貌獲取資訊，突破"不敢開口"的瓶頸，實現從"生硬翻譯"到"自然表達"的 milestone。
實用表達積累
- “Alex White gave me your number.”（亞歷克斯·懷特給了我你的號碼）——用於介紹自己的聯絡方式來源，自然開啟對話。
- “You'd be able to give me some advice about...”（你能給我一些關於……的建議嗎）——禮貌請求幫助的經典句式。
- “That doesn't include bills or anything.”（這不包括賬單之類的）——補充說明細節，讓表達更完整。
- “I wish I could do that.”（我希望我也能那樣做）——表達羨慕之情，增強對話的情感互動。
攻克發音與節奏難點
對話中大量使用連讀和弱讀，如“give me”連讀為/ɡɪv miː/、“would be”弱讀為/wʊd biː/，這正是許多學習者的薄弱環節。建議採用英語影子跟讀（shadow speak）技巧，即邊聽邊同步複述，強迫自己跟上 native speaker 的語速和語調。堅持練習能有效改善發音的流暢度，讓口語聽起來更自然。此外，注意對話中疑問句句尾的升調（如“Is it safe to cycle around the city?”），通過模仿提升語調的準確性，讓溝通更生動。
無論是備考雅思還是提升日常口語，這段對話都是英語口語練習的優質素材。結合影子跟讀技巧，反覆操練，就能逐步掌握實用表達和地道發音。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | has been done · has been written · I've never been |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | will be played · will be given · has been done |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | woman who lives · Dalton, which is · cinema, which has |
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。
