Test 1.
2
Now turn to part one.
3
Part 1.
4
You will hear a woman phoning a friend, to get information about a job agency.
5
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
6
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
7
Hello William!
8
This is Amber.
9
You said to phone if I wanted to get more information about the job agency you mentioned.
10
Is now a good time?
11
Uh, hi Amber.
12
Yes, fine.
13
The agency I was talking about is called Bankside.
14
They're based in Docklands.
15
I can tell you the address now.
16
497 Eastside.
17
OK, thanks.
18
So is there anyone in particular I should speak to there?
19
The agent I always deal with is called Becky Jameson.
20
Let me write that down.
21
Becky!
22
Jameson.
23
J -A -M -I -E -R.
24
S O N.
25
Do you have her direct line?
26
Yes, it's in my contacts somewhere.
27
Right, here we are, 07866510333.
28
I wouldn't call her until the afternoon if I were you.
29
She's always really busy in the morning trying to fill last -minute vacancies.
30
She's really helpful and friendly, so I'm sure it would be worth getting in touch with her for an informal chat.
31
It's mainly clerical and admin jobs they deal with, isn't it?
32
That's right.
33
I know you're hoping to find a full -time job in the media eventually, but Becky mostly recruits temporary staff for the finance sector, which will look good on your CV,
34
and generally pays better too.
35
Yeah, I'm just a bit worried because I don't have much office experience.
36
I wouldn't worry.
37
They'll probably start you as a receptionist or something like that.
38
So what's important for that kind of job isn't so much having business skills or knowing lots of different computer systems, it's communication that really matters,
39
so you'd be fine there and you'll pick up office skills really quickly on the job.
40
It's not that complicated.
41
Okay, good.
42
So how long do people generally need temporary staff for?
43
It would be great if I could get something lasting at least a month.
44
That shouldn't be too difficult.
45
But you're more likely to be offered something for a week at first, which might get extended.
46
It's unusual to be sent somewhere for just a day or two.
47
Right.
48
I've heard the pay isn't too bad.
49
Better than working in a shop or a restaurant.
50
Oh yes, definitely.
51
The hourly rate is about ten pounds, eleven if you're lucky.
52
That's pretty good.
53
I was only expecting to get eight or nine pounds an hour.
54
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, You have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
55
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
56
Do you want me to tell you anything about the registration process?
57
Yes, please.
58
I know you have to have an interview.
59
The interview usually takes about an hour and you should arrange that about a week in advance.
60
I suppose I should dress smartly if it's for office work.
61
I can probably borrow a suit from Mum.
62
Good idea.
63
It's better to look too smart than too casual.
64
Will I need to bring copies of my exam certificates or anything like that?
65
No, they don't need to see those, I don't think.
66
What about my passport?
67
Oh, yes.
68
They will ask to see that.
69
Okay.
70
I wouldn't get stressed about the interview there.
71
It's just a chance for them to build a relationship with you, so they can try and match you to a job which you'll like.
72
So there are questions about personality that they always ask candidates, fairly basic ones, And they probably won't ask anything too difficult,
73
like what your plans are for the future.
74
Oh, hope not.
75
Anyway, there are lots of benefits to using an agency.
76
For example, the interview will be useful because they'll give you feedback on your performance so you can improve next time.
77
And they'll have access to jobs which aren't advertised.
78
Exactly.
79
Most temporary jobs aren't advertised.
80
And I expect finding a temporary job this way takes a lot less time.
81
It's much easier than ringing up individual companies.
82
Yes, indeed.
83
That is the end of part one.
84
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

这部视频适合谁?

这部视频适合正在准备剑桥英语考试、希望提升听力理解和日常口语能力的学习者,尤其适合 intermediate 水平(中级)的同学。视频中的对话围绕求职代理展开,内容贴近真实生活场景,能帮助学习者熟悉职场相关词汇和交流方式,同时训练捕捉关键信息(如姓名、电话、工作类型等)的能力,非常适合想要提高实用英语技能的人。

值得学习的词汇和表达

对话中出现了多个实用词汇和短语,一起来看看:

  • clerical and admin jobs:文职和行政工作。其中 "clerical" 指文书工作,"admin" 是 "administration" 的缩写,意为行政。
  • temporary staff:临时员工。"temporary" 表示暂时的,与 "permanent"(永久的)相对。
  • last - minute vacancies:紧急空缺。"last - minute" 指最后一刻的,"vacancies" 是职位空缺。
  • pick up:此处指快速学会。例如 "pick up office skills" 即快速掌握办公技能。

如何练好发音?

视频中说话者的发音清晰自然,语速适中,非常适合用于 shadow speak(影子跟读法)练习。以下是两个关键发音要点:

重音位置

注意单词 "recruits"(招聘)的重音在第二个音节,读作 /rɪˈkruːts/,而非 /ˈrɪkruːts/。正确的重音能让你的口语更地道,避免误解。

连读技巧

对话中出现 "fill last - minute vacancies" 时,"fill" 和 "last" 之间可以连读,读作 /fɪl ˈlɑːst ˈmɪnɪt/,中间的停顿几乎消失。通过 shadow speak 练习,你能逐渐掌握这种自然的连读方式,提高英语发音的流畅度。

影子跟读法(shadow speak)是提升口语的有效方法,建议反复播放视频,模仿说话者的语调、语速和停顿,坚持练习就能看到进步。记住,练习时不仅要关注单词发音,还要注意整体的语流节奏,这样才能真正学好英语。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:

结构视频中的用法
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的is called · be offered · be sent
用 “should” 提建议 should + 动词 — 表示应该做的事should speak · shouldn't be · should arrange
过去进行时 was/were + -ing — 过去某一时刻正在进行的动作was talking · was only expecting
比较级 -er than / more … than — 比较两个事物Better than · easier than

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
