Test 3 This is the IELTS Listening Test.
2
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
3
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions, and you will have a chance to check your work.
4
All the recordings will be played once only.
5
The test is in four parts.
6
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
7
Now turn to part one.
8
Part 1 You will hear a woman phoning a travel agency about hot air balloon rides.
9
First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
10
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
11
Good morning, Smart Travel, Jason speaking.
12
Hi, good morning.
13
I saw your advert in today's paper about hot air balloon trips.
14
It sounds pretty exciting, and I wonder how much it costs.
15
Well, the price may vary depending on the location, number of participants, and add -ons.
16
A single ride may cost you up to £280 per person.
17
But if you choose group booking, there is a discount.
18
And the cheapest flight is £125 each for a group booking of at least 10 people.
19
Oh, that's not too bad.
20
What do you mean by add -ons?
21
They are optional items like taking photos for you during the ride, champagne and sit -down breakfast after the flight.
22
Upon completing the trip, we will provide each participant with a certificate.
23
And that is entirely free of charge.
24
Can I book a ride over the phone?
25
Yes, that's an option.
26
Reservations can be made one year ahead of your trip by telephone.
27
But to pick a specific date, you must book online.
28
A confirmation email will be sent to you right afterwards.
29
How high can the balloons go?
30
A hot air balloon's height is limited by the temperature of the air and how much fuel it can carry.
31
And the highest altitude ever recorded for a ride is 1 ,800 metres.
32
But most rides stay below 300 metres.
33
Oh boy, that's impressive.
34
How long is a single ride?
35
The average hot air balloon ride lasts about an hour.
36
The entire ballooning experience, which includes ground preparation, flight and post -flight packing up and celebration,
37
may take two to three hours.
38
And what time are the flights?
39
Our flights generally meet about an hour before sunrise on the day.
40
You will be notified of the exact meeting time the evening before your flight.
41
Night flights are avoided due to weather conditions.
42
Fair enough.
43
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
44
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
45
Which month do you recommend for a hot air balloon trip?
46
Autumn is the best time of year to take the trip.
47
Not only can you see the changing hues of the trees from above,
48
but it is a great way to spend time with the whole family before it gets too cold.
49
I see.
50
But please note that our flight may be cancelled, and you will be notified by phone the day before.
51
Why is that?
52
It can be quite dangerous to fly under bad weather conditions, like a thunderstorm.
53
So our experienced pilots will not go under such conditions.
54
What should I wear for the ride?
55
We suggest wearing comfortable clothing, like a jacket.
56
Multiple layers are always better.
57
Wearing a helmet for safety concerns is also a good idea.
58
Sandals are not permitted.
59
Can children or older people participate?
60
All children must be above the minimum age of nine years old, and they have to be accompanied by at least a parent or guardian.
61
However, an adult has no age limit as long as they meet the health requirements.
62
What exactly are the health requirements?
63
Participants must at least be in fair physical condition.
64
For example, they shall have no significant knee, hip or back problems and no recent surgeries or broken bones.
65
They must also stand unassisted for an hour during the flight.
66
It is the required position during the whole flight.
67
As the balloon comes to land, all passengers will need to adopt the landing position with knees bent in front of them.
68
Are those rides safe?
69
Hot air balloon companies are required to have a commercial balloon pilot license,
70
and all our pilots go through rigorous training before they are allowed to fly.
71
It is a relatively gentle activity.
72
However, the impact of a balloon landing can vary drastically, depending on factors like wind speed.
73
Sometimes it is similar to the momentum of jumping off a small chair.
74
If you cannot jump off a small chair, speaking to your doctor before booking a balloon flight is best.
75
Thank you very much.
76
I think that's all I need to know.
77
Thanks for calling.
78
Goodbye.
79
That is the end of part one.
80
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part one.
81
Part 2 You will hear the head teacher of Rivermede School
82
talking to a group of journalists about facilities at the school that are open to the general public.
83
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
84
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.
85
What I'd like to do at this meeting is to tell you a bit about the facilities
86
that Rivermead School offers people in the community.
87
I'd like to start by talking about the new theatre that we've just opened in our school
88
Its mission is to maximise opportunities for local audiences to experience productions of the highest quality
89
Amongst other things, this will involve offering a place where professional drama companies in the area can perform
90
But there'll also be opportunities to host national and international companies both those
91
which are up and coming and those which have already established a reputation.
92
Details of our first season's theatre programme are already online.
93
I hope you'll agree that it looks very exciting.
94
As well as music and dance, there'll be drama from modern writers and there'll also be a high proportion of shows aimed at children and families.
95
You'll notice that there is one empty space in November.
96
That's because the Chinese state acrobatic troupe have had to cancel their visit, but hopefully we'll be able to announce a replacement very soon.
97
Now, we're often asked about the theatre's sources of funding.
98
Well, a limited amount of money will come from various government subsidies, but the bulk of the revenue will be generated by the sale of tickets
99
which is one reason why we'd be grateful for your help in promoting the work of the theatre.
100
In addition, there are opportunities for individuals to support the theatre on a regular basis, through its sponsorship scheme.
101
The benefits to donors include access to rehearsals and to show previews.
102
But the new theatre isn't the only facility which is open to everyone.
103
The school also has a small museum.
104
This holds various objects that were found when the ground was excavated to lay the foundations for the building, as well as other historical objects
105
Entrance to this is free
106
We also have a state -of -the -art sports hall
107
This is reserved for our students during term time but anyone can use it in the school holidays
108
And our cafeteria is worth a visit
109
It has a varied menu and it's open all day to visitors as well as staff and students.
110
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
111
Right.
112
I'll just point out some things on the map of the school campus I've given you.
113
First of all, the theatre.
114
That's opposite car park P2 on the south side.
115
You're not allowed to park anywhere except in the car parks.
116
There are two marked on your map, P1 and P2, but there's a new car park which has only just been completed,
117
and that's at the most northern end of the campus.
118
Some people might want to consider coming by bus.
119
There's a good service from the city centre to the school and the bus stops at the roundabout.
120
That's where it turns round to go back, so you have to get off there.
121
It doesn't go up as far as Park Road.
122
Then, to get to the sports hall, you take the right fork after the main entrance and just keep going past the classroom block.
123
You have to go straight across the roundabout and it's further on on the right -hand side of that road.
124
Then there's the cafeteria.
125
There are various ways to get there
126
because it's at the junction of Park Road and Rennie's Drive on the north side of Park Road.
127
In nice weather, you can sit outside to eat and admire the view.
128
Then the museum is fairly central.
129
Just go left after the main entrance.
130
Take the first turning on the right, and when you reach a junction, the museum is facing you.
131
Now, I...
132
That is the end of part two.
133
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.
134
Part 3.
135
You will hear two students named Peter and Lynn discussing
136
Professor John Smith's article about online course.
137
First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
138
Now listen carefully and understand answer questions 21 to 26.
139
Lynn, I just finished reading
140
Professor Smith's article about the benefits of online courses.
141
What are your thoughts on the article?
142
Hi Peter, when I read that article, it was clear to me that
143
Professor Smith does not favour the traditional methods of classroom teaching.
144
Although I can certainly acknowledge that there are some advantages to online course.
145
I would say that internet courses are not always the best means for teaching and learning.
146
I think it's about time to revolutionize the old teaching style though.
147
But I would hope that students consider the negatives of online learning before enrolling in online courses.
148
This shouldn't be a big issue since online courses are so common these days.
149
At least, I won't struggle so much.
150
And Professor Smith points out that computer learning is well suited for some courses, especially the technical courses.
151
Unfortunately, that theory doesn't work for me.
152
What a shame.
153
I got an A for that online computing course last year.
154
Anyway, next part is personal interaction.
155
I think the personal interaction offered by traditional teaching is overrated in the article and doesn't have much value.
156
I think it's a distraction and that time could be better spent on the subject matter of the course.
157
Oh, I disagree strongly, Peter.
158
You're dismissing the benefits of face -to -face interaction between students and teachers in traditional classroom settings.
159
The article says that learning is a two -way street
160
and it's much easier for students to learn if they can ask questions and have discussions with their teachers.
161
I'm still not sure about that, but online courses can foster students' technological skills.
162
In learning the subject matter online students will gain the technical know -how they'll need in their future endeavors
163
I can't agree more what do you think professor
164
Smith means
165
when he says online courses should be flexible in time
166
that's essential the point of learning online is to allow those who can't attend courses at fixed time
167
I agree before you hear the rest of the discussion.
168
You have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
169
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
170
The second part of the article shares some thoughts about the use of internet on campus.
171
I'm kind of lost in that part.
172
Well, I think what he's trying to say is that students are already accustomed to doing their research on the internet.
173
Although some people say computers could be better used for other purposes.
174
He emphasizes that many teachers are already instructing students to use the computer as a research tool.
175
Thanks for clarifying that.
176
What about the next part saying that students are divided?
177
Do you know what that means?
178
Well, it's certainly not that some students are afraid to use computers.
179
They're already well accustomed to that.
180
You're right about that.
181
Most students already use the Internet as their primary source for news and information.
182
Professor Smith probably intends to say that computers are not easily accessible and available to all students.
183
Yes, not all students can afford computers.
184
And as Professor Smith note, with online courses, the student support system is already in place.
185
Instead of asking fellow students or the professor for assistance, students would be able to get any information they need online.
186
And this assistance would be available immediately.
187
So, why do you think
188
Professor Smith is recommending the use of computers as the school's main means of educating students.
189
Do you think he is interested in reducing some of the fees associated with traditional classroom courses?
190
I think it's all about the money.
191
He is promoting online courses simply because he thinks it will enable the school to make more money.
192
I never thought of it that way.
193
Many schools already have limited space for classrooms.
194
If the school board wants to enroll more students, they can do that through distance learning mode.
195
Instead of recruiting more teachers, the same course resources can be sold to both online and offline students.
196
Plus, some computer companies are willing to financially support the schools that promote this type of learning.
197
I see.
198
This is profitable in every sense.
199
Alright, now we'll have something to write about in the research paper.
200
That's the end of part 3.
201
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers.
202
Section 4 You will hear part of a lecture related to how technology contributes to education.
203
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
204
Thank you.
205
Hello and welcome to today's seminar about education.
206
Education is a lifelong process.
207
There is no limit on when to start and stop.
208
And we have been using technology so much these days in each and every sector of our lives, including education.
209
Have we ever taken out a second to wonder if it's leaving a positive impact on our work,
210
or it's just that we have been relying on it so much that we've become used to it?
211
Earlier, there was a lot of debate about technology in education amongst the faculty at our school.
212
Everyone had their own views.
213
At first, some believed that the use of email between students
214
and teachers made them interact with each other less and this was not a good thing.
215
But gradually, as technology was embraced by more educational institutes,
216
they realized the importance of technology in education.
217
Technology and education are a great combination if used together with a right reason and vision.
218
Moreover, there is a strong relationship with the local economy when it comes to the effectiveness of the use of IT in education.
219
In the more developed areas, the schools and institutions have better access to more advanced technology
220
and the teachers are better trained to use the technology to improve the quality of their classes.
221
In contrast, in some less developed regions and remote areas where technology is not so common,
222
the effectiveness can't be guaranteed.
223
However,
224
wherever they are, the most common example for teachers using technology in education is the usage of computers in their teaching methods.
225
In most classrooms, you can see teachers using computers to present teaching notes and other materials.
226
This year, the IT School of Westbrook University has implemented a brand new education mode.
227
Since its implementation, both teachers and students have been praising this new mode.
228
It involves a kind of software which allows students, as well as teachers, to talk and discuss with each other more easily.
229
and they said they enjoy this way of communication.
230
What's more, the mode offers students a channel to post any work that they are proud of, whether it's a nice photograph that they take,
231
a case study they do, a song they record, or even just a great idea they have.
232
So it gives them a chance to showcase their strength and build up their confidence.
233
Many students use this feature to show the best of themselves.
234
It also provides students an opportunity to choose what they learn on the Internet,
235
so they no longer have to sit in the classroom listening to something they are bored with.
236
And they don't have to wait all night trying to register for their favourite elective courses.
237
Compared with the traditional platform, it is more flexible.
238
The open source which the new mode provides is free for students to use
239
when they are trying to look up for online materials for their papers or researchers.
240
And the data will not easily be found on the internet because only registered users have access to the database.
241
By the way, all the materials are original works of teachers or scholars, so there is no need to worry about the quality of the content.
242
And with the overwhelming amount of unwanted information on the internet, this mode gives students a new search engine they can use on campus.
243
So information like advertisements and sceptical sources will be filtered easily.
244
This is a perfect example of new solutions to new problems.
245
Apart from that,
246
students can arrange their daily activities and improve their time management skills by simply ticking the boxes in the timetable online.
247
They can set up their own starting time and their deadline for each assignment.
248
Based on statistics, the use of this function has a positive effect on the students who constantly procrastinate.
249
By the end of the first term, the number of students who asked for extension for their papers had decreased by 10%,
250
which was quite an achievement.
251
Another feature that seems very creative to me is
252
that students can help people who have questions or problems relating to their field of studies on a special platform.
253
They can even have some income by providing people with good solutions.
254
So, this new mode is making the most of the IT...
255
That is the end of Section 4.
256
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
257
Thank you.

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。
