Test 4.

This is the IELTS Listening Test.

You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.

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 man who works at an employment agency phoning a woman who is looking for a job.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
12
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
13
Hello!
14
Oh hello, is that Julie Davison?
15
Yes.
16
This is Greg Preston from the Employment Agency.
17
We met last week when you came in to inquire about office work.
18
Oh, that's right.
19
Now, we've just had some details come in of a job which might interest you.
20
OK.
21
So this is a position for a receptionist.
22
I believe you've done that sort of work before?
23
Yes, I have.
24
I worked in a sports centre for a couple of years before I got married and had the children.
25
Right.
26
Well, this job's in Fordham.
27
So not too far away for you, and it's at the medical centre there.
28
Okay.
29
So where exactly is that?
30
It's quite near the station on Chaston's Road.
31
Sorry?
32
Chaston's Road.
33
That's C -H -C -H -C -H -C -H -C -H
34
-C -H -C -H -C -H -C -H -C -H -C -H -C -H -C -H -C -H -C - A...

36
-O -T -O -T -O -T -O -T -O -T -O -T -O -T -O N S.
37
OK, thanks.
38
So what would the work involve?
39
Dealing with inquiries from patients?
40
Yes.
41
And you'd also be involved in making appointments, whether face to face or on the phone and rescheduling them if necessary.
42
Fine, that shouldn't be a problem.
43
And another of your duties would be keeping the centre's database up to date.
44
Then you might have other general administrative duties as well.
45
But those would be the main ones.
46
Okay.
47
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
48
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
49
Now, when the details came in, I immediately thought of you because one thing they do require is someone with experience.
50
And you did mention your work at the Sports Centre when you came in to see us.
51
Yes, in fact I enjoyed that job.
52
Is there anything else they're looking for?
53
Well, they say it's quite a high -pressure environment, They're always very busy, And patients are often under stress,
54
so they want someone who can cope with that and stay calm
55
and at the same time be confident when interacting with the public.
56
Well, after dealing with three children all under five, I reckon I can cope with that.
57
I'm sure you can.
58
And then another thing they mention is that they're looking for someone with good IT skills.
59
Not a problem.
60
So you'd be interested in following this up?
61
Sure.
62
When would it start?
63
Well, they're looking for someone from the beginning of next month.
64
But I should tell you that this isn't a permanent job.
65
It's temporary.
66
So the contract would be just to the end of September.
67
But they do say that there could be further opportunities after that.
68
Okay.
69
And what would the hours be?
70
Well, they want someone who can start at a quarter to eight in the morning.
71
Could you manage that?
72
"Yes, my husband would have to get the kids up and off to my mother's.
73
She's going to be looking after them while I'm at work." What time would I finish?
74
1 .15.
75
That should work out all right.
76
I can pick the kids up on my way home, and then I'll have the afternoon with them.
77
Oh, one thing.
78
Is there parking available for staff at the centre?
79
Yes, there is.
80
And it's also on a bus route.
81
Right.
82
Well, I expect I'll have the car, but it's good to know that.
83
OK, so where do I go from here?
84
Well, if you're happy for me to do so, I'll forward your CV and references,
85
And then the best thing would probably be for you to phone them so they can arrange for an interview.
86
Great.
87
Well, thank you very much.
88
You're welcome.
89
Bye now.
90
Bye.
91
That is the end of part one.
92
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
为什么要用这个视频练习口语？
通过观看這段雅思听力测试视频，学习者可以获得与真实生活场景相似的语境，从而提高英语发音和口语表达能力。在视频中，我们听到一位就业代理正在与求职者进行交流，这种对话模拟了求职过程中的自然互动。例如，面对工作机会时，考生需要用流利且准确的英语进行沟通。这不仅有助于理解对话内容，还能提高应对真实情境下的自信心。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
在这段对话中，出现了几个关键的语法结构和表达方式：
- 简单过去时：例如，“I worked in a sports centre”强调了过去的经历，用于描述求职者的工作背景。
- 现在进行时：在提及正在进行的工作职责时，比如“making appointments”，使用这种时态可以突出工作的即时性和重要性。
- 疑问句：如“Is that Julie Davison?”和“What would the work involve?”，并通过这些问题进行有效的互动，展示了询问和确认信息的流畅度。
- 条件句：在谈论工作职责时，理解条件关系如“if necessary”，能够帮助学习者更好地组织言语。
这样的句子结构练习，不仅能帮助学习者在口语中自如运用，还能增强雅思口语练习的信心。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，有几个发音比较常见的陷阱需要注意：
- 地点名词：如“Chaston's Road”，这个词的拼写和发音容易混淆，确保正确发音是非常重要的。
- 问候语：“Hello”这种简单的问候虽然常见，但快速交流时，也需注意语调的变化，避免给人留下不自然的印象。
- 职业词汇：“receptionist”等专业名词，如果发音不准确，可能导致对话的误解。
为了克服这些发音挑战，学习者可以采用提高英语发音的技巧，如shadow speaks和shadow speak练习，在重复听与说中增强发音的准确性。通过这些练习，增强对音调、节奏和语音的掌握，将大大提高学习者的口语表达能力。
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。
