Test 2.
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, you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
8
Now turn to part one.
9
Part 1.
10
You will hear a woman from a job agency giving information to a man about work in a chain of restaurants.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
12
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
13
So I understand you're interested in restaurant work?
14
Yes, I've got a bit of experience and I can provide references.
15
That's good.
16
I can check all that later.
17
Now, Milo's restaurants have some vacancies at the moment.
18
They're a really good company to work for.
19
Lots of benefits.
20
All right.
21
Yes.
22
They've got a very good reputation for looking after staff, For example, all employees get training, even temporary staff.
23
Oh, really?
24
That's quite unusual, isn't it?
25
Certainly is.
26
And do staff get free uniforms too?
27
Um...
28
You just need to wear a white T -shirt and black trousers, it says here.
29
So I guess not.
30
But another benefit of working for a big company like this is
31
that you can get a discount at any of their restaurants.
32
Even at weekends?
33
No, but you'll be working then anyway.
34
Oh, yes, I suppose so.
35
Erm, most of their restaurants are in the city centre, aren't they?
36
So easy to get to by bus?
37
Yes, that's right.
38
but if you have to do a late shift and finish work after midnight, The company will pay for you to get a taxi home.
39
I probably won't need one.
40
I think I'd use my bike.
41
OK.
42
Now, they do have some quite specific requirements for the kind of person they're looking for, Milo's is a young, dynamic company,
43
and they're really keen on creating a strong team.
44
It's really important that you can fit in and get on well with everyone.
45
Yeah, I've got no problem with that.
46
It sounds good, actually.
47
The last place I worked for was quite demanding too.
48
We had to make sure we gave a really high level of service.
49
That's good to hear, because that will be equally important at Milo's.
50
I know they want people who have an eye for detail.
51
That's fine.
52
I'm very used to working in that kind of environment.
53
Perfect.
54
So the only other thing that's required is good communication skills, so you'll need to have a certificate in English.
55
Sure.
56
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
57
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
58
OK, let's have a look at the current job vacancies at Milo's.
59
The first one is in Wivenhoe Street.
60
Sorry, where?
61
"'Wivenho!' W -I -V -E -N -H -O -E.
62
It's quite central, just off Cork Street.
63
Oh, right.
64
They're looking for a breakfast supervisor.
65
That would be OK.
66
"'So you're probably familiar with the kind of responsibilities involved.' obviously checking that all the portions are correct,
67
etc., And then things like checking all the procedures for cleaning the equipment are being followed.
68
Oh, okay.
69
And what about the salary?
70
In my last job I was getting £9 .50 per hour.
71
I was hoping to get a bit more than that.
72
Well, to begin with you'd be getting £9 .75, but that goes up to £11 .25 after three months.
73
That's not too bad.
74
And I suppose it's a very early start.
75
That's the only unattractive thing about this job.
76
But then you have the afternoons and evenings free, So, the restaurant starts serving breakfast from 7am,
77
and you'd have to be there at 5 .30 to set everything up.
78
But you'd be finished at 12 .30.
79
Hmm.
80
Well, as you say, there are advantages to that.
81
Now, you might also be interested in the job at the City Road Branch, That's for a junior chef, so again a position of responsibility.
82
I might prefer that, actually.
83
Right.
84
Well, obviously this role would involve supporting the sous chef and other senior staff.
85
"'and you'd be responsible for making sure there's enough stock each week.' and sorting out all the deliveries.
86
I've never done that before, but I imagine it's fairly straightforward once you get the hang of it.
87
Yes and you'd be working alongside more experienced staff to begin with, "'so I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.' The salary's slightly higher here.
88
It's an annual salary of £23 ,000.
89
Right.
90
I know that if they like you, it's likely you'll be promoted quite quickly, so that's worth thinking about.
91
Yes, it does sound interesting.
92
What are the hours like?
93
The usual, I think.
94
There's a lot of evening and weekend work, but they're closed on Mondays.
95
but you do get one Sunday off every four weeks.
96
So would you like me to send off your CV?
97
That is the end of part one.
98
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?
利用这段视频进行口语练习有助于学生提升英语交流能力。在一个真实的就业面试场景中,学习者可以模拟对话,增强自己的口语表达。通过shadow speak的《雅思口语练习》,学员可以模仿讲话者的语音和语调,提高流利度。在这个视频中,面试者与招聘人员的对话涉及工作经验、公司福利以及团队合作,这些都是现实生活中常见的话题。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
在该视频中,讲话者使用了一些重要的语法结构和表达方式,帮助理解面试场景的关键要素:
- 一般现在时: “I understand you're interested in restaurant work?” 这个结构使得对话显得自然,适合进行询问。
- 条件句: “If you have to do a late shift...” 用来描述假设条件,这在面试中很常见。
- 反事实条件句: “I probably won't need one.” 表达了对未来的可能性,显示了说话者的态度和选择。
- 表语从句: “It sounds good, actually.” 是一种用于表达个人观点的方式。
通过学习这些表达方式,学生可以在实际对话中更自信地应用这些结构,增强他们的英语交流能力,达到提高英语发音的效果。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中,某些单词和短语的发音可能对学习者来说具有挑战性。例如,“restaurant”的发音常常容易出错。此外,讲话者使用的快速对话风格可能使部分学生难以跟上。因此,建议学习者在模仿的过程中进行shadow speech练习,反复听取并模仿这些单词的正确发音。
通过持续的练习,学生能够有效克服这些发音障碍,从而在真实场合中表现得更加自信,并提升口语技巧。利用这个shadowing site的资源,学习者可以在日常生活中不断提升自己的英语口语能力,成为更有效的沟通者。
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 | will be played · will be given · being followed |
| 过去进行时 was/were + -ing — 过去某一时刻正在进行的动作 | was getting · was hoping |
| 用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 动词 — 有可能但不确定的事 | might also be · might prefer |
| “will” 表将来 will + 动词 — 决定、承诺或预测 | will hear · will be · you'll be |
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。
