Section 1 You'll hear a student phoning a student careers office about a job at a holiday resort.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6 on page 2.
3
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
4
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
5
Hello.
6
I saw an advert for holiday staff on the notice board and I'm very interested.
7
Can you tell me something about the resort?
8
Let me see.
9
Yes, those jobs are at the Sandy Shores Resort.
10
You may have heard of it, as it's quite well known in the area.
11
The name of the resort is Sandy Shores, so Sandy has been written in the space.
12
Now we shall begin.
13
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
14
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
15
Hello.
16
I saw an advert for holiday staff on the notice board and I'm very interested.
17
Can you tell me something about the resort?
18
Let me see.
19
Yes, those jobs are at the Sandy Shores Resort.
20
You may have heard of it, as it's quite well known in the area.
21
I'm not sure.
22
Where exactly is it?
23
It's on Jameson Island.
24
I haven't heard of that one.
25
How do you spell it?
26
J -A -M -I -E -S -O -N.
27
It was named after a famous explorer.
28
Oh, sounds interesting.
29
Yes, it's a beautiful place, and as it's a large resort, they have vacancies in a few different areas.
30
When would they want someone to start?
31
It looks like the applications close by the 12th of May, and they would need you to begin from the 11th of July.
32
Oh, that's perfect.
33
My exams finish on the 5th of July.
34
Can you tell me something about the jobs?
35
Well, first of all, there is a vacancy in the Calypso Bistro.
36
That's for a waiter.
37
The work is quite easy, taking orders and serving meals.
38
You don't need any experience, as they will train you.
39
That's good.
40
They've also got a few vacancies in what is called the Guest Liaison Department.
41
They are involved with the entertainment in the resort, especially the daily music shows and parades.
42
They definitely need people who can sing
43
What's your voice like?
44
It's shocking, but I can play piano
45
Would that be useful?
46
I don't think so
47
They already have a band OK, so what else is there?
48
Among the most popular things for guests are the games
49
and water sports activities which take place on the beach that belongs to the resort
50
They are always looking for fit young people to help out with things like volleyball,
51
surfing and cricket but they definitely need people who have worked with children for that vacancy.
52
Well, I coach junior basketball.
53
Sounds great.
54
Finally, there are vacancies in the reception area.
55
You'd work as part of the concierge department, carrying bags to and from rooms.
56
A requirement for this role is that you can drive.
57
That might seem strange, but some of the villas are quite far away from the resort hub,
58
so they have little golf buggies to take the bags over to them.
59
I expect you'd like to know a bit more about the general benefits for staff?
60
Yes, please.
61
Do they provide free accommodation for staff?
62
It looks like they only provide it to permanent employees, but staff don't have to pay for transport to and from the island,
63
so you'd have to stay in Port Thomas, but there are plenty of cheap places there.
64
What about meals?
65
Yes, they're provided when you're on duty, so you would save money on groceries.
66
If you are interested, we can set up an interview for you.
67
I know the resort personnel manager wants interviews on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday here at the college.
68
Which day would suit you?
69
Can we do it on Thursday as I work on Wednesdays?
70
Fine.
71
Is two o 'clock OK?
72
Perfect.
73
OK.
74
I've booked you in for then.
75
Is there anything I need to take to the interview?
76
Let me see.
77
Yes, you need to bring a CV giving details of your work experience
78
and qualifications and
79
because they are planning on interviewing a lot of people they've asked everyone to provide a photo as well
80
so they can remember who is who do you have any questions
81
that is the end of section one you now have half a minute to check your answers
82
Section 2 You will hear a radio talk by Peter Gentle,
83
the organizer of an annual walk called the Tavy Point Walk.
84
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15 on page 3.
85
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
86
Today we're pleased to welcome
87
Peter Gentle, who is organising this year's famous Tavie Point Walk.
88
Can you tell us about the walk, Peter?
89
Well, it's an organised group walk which takes place every year on one day in October, across some of the most beautiful scenery in the country.
90
Just about anyone with normal fitness can do it,
91
but we have lots of volunteer stewards who are posted at regular intervals along the way to offer help if needed.
92
The walk is mainly aimed at families.
93
We want to help people to walk with their children.
94
It's healthy exercise and it helps people get to know their local area better.
95
Now, for those of your listeners who might be interested in doing the walk, it takes place this year on Sunday the 27th of October.
96
It's 18 miles in length, so quite long, but we ensure walkers are very well looked after.
97
We like to involve as many people as possible, and it's getting busier every year.
98
For most of the walk's history, we set a maximum of 220 walkers,
99
but this year we've been able to expand to 280 because we've got a total of 50 volunteers to help us.
100
You provide a lot of support then
101
We have to be pretty strict about arrangements but we do what we can to help people
102
If someone arrives without proper clothing we can help out from our stocks of waterproofs for example
103
We don't just turn them away
104
The only time we do that is if people behave badly at the start
105
We also spend a lot of time fielding walkers questions about safety both before the walk
106
and while it's going on Do you ever cancel the walk for very bad weather?
107
Yes, but it hasn't happened for several years.
108
However, a couple of years ago, the organisers made a decision to cancel
109
because we didn't get as many volunteers as we needed to act as stewards on the walk.
110
The team felt really awful about it, but these things happen.
111
If something does go amiss, we try to inform all walkers well in advance.
112
Now, if any of your listeners are interested in joining the walk, they should go to our website at www.
113
www .tavywalk .org and give us their details.
114
It costs £4 .50 each to enter, and that covers a bottle of juice and a hot pie.
115
It also helps towards maintaining the 12 staff checkpoints at different parts on the route.
116
About 90 % of our walkers do complete the whole 18 -mile route, but if you're not well or feel you can't go any further,
117
just inform the stewards when you get to the checkpoint and they'll organise transport to get you where you need to go.
118
If you do complete the course, you are entitled to receive a badge.
119
Now, unfortunately, we can't give those to you immediately on finishing.
120
If you want one, you have to order it one week before the walk
121
and you'll get it by post two weeks after the walk, as long as you finish, of course.
122
It may seem a strange system, but we found it works because only those walkers who really want a badge get one.
123
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20 on page 4.
124
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
125
What do walkers need to take with them?
126
Good question.
127
When you register for the walk, we send you a booklet with all the key information.
128
But basically, we do say that you should be properly dressed.
129
Now, it must be emphasised that this doesn't mean that you wear thick trousers like jeans.
130
Lighter, waterproof apparel is better.
131
Some people like to bring their mobile phones, but there isn't always a good signal.
132
And remember, the checkpoints are there, so you can always rely on those.
133
Some people asked if they should bring a torch, but frankly, they're a waste of space and weight.
134
It's a relatively gentle, straightforward walk.
135
Another thing people ask about is refreshments whether you carry things like high energy drinks is up to you
136
and finally we say it's a very good idea to bring a rucksack
137
but what size is up to the individual
138
but as i say there's full information in the walker's booklet well thank you very much peter
139
that is the end of section two you now have half a minute to check your answers
140
Section 3.
141
You will hear two students, called Charlie and Delia, discussing a joint assignment for their Human Geography course.
142
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26 on page 5.
143
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
144
Hi, Delia.
145
Shall we get down to planning our assignment?
146
We haven't got long now before the deadline.
147
I know.
148
And it's quite open -ended, isn't it?
149
Just research and analyze data about energy consumption in a given region.
150
Yes, and all we've done so far is check out a few likely websites.
151
Shall we exchange ideas about those first?
152
Hmm, good idea.
153
Let me look at my notes.
154
Okay, I had a preliminary look at one or two websites.
155
There was National Geographic.
156
The thing there that struck me was a facility for creating tailor -made maps.
157
We might like to use that when it comes to presenting our findings.
158
Right.
159
That would make some types of data instantly clear, I guess.
160
Also, I checked out the United Nations website.
161
That one had masses of useful stuff, only I couldn't get at it.
162
I know.
163
It was for subscribers only, right?
164
And we don't want to get into that sort of thing.
165
After all, it's not a major piece of work we're doing.
166
Yes, I agree.
167
I looked at the website of an agency called the Energy Information Administration.
168
There were some population statistics there that we could use, but there didn't seem to be any figures for energy use
169
so that site would only be suitable to a limited extent for our purposes.
170
I thought the British Petroleum website might be a good place to get information about energy use.
171
Oh, good thinking.
172
There was lots of data, actually.
173
The only thing is, it went into more depth than was necessary for our assignment,
174
and we'd have to collate a lot of the figures to arrive at an overview.
175
So I didn't think it was quite what we were looking for.
176
I also looked on the Central Intelligence Agency website.
177
Hmm, I never had thought of that.
178
Something worth noting.
179
It seemed to be the only place I looked at that had data for this current year.
180
Oh, right.
181
I'm not sure about the websites I looked at.
182
I didn't look carefully enough, I guess.
183
And I also found stuff on the World Bank site, and that had figures going back quite a long way.
184
Okay.
185
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30 on page 6.
186
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
187
Fine.
188
We know roughly what we're doing.
189
But have you got any more definite thoughts about what our subject matter should be?
190
I think one thing we've got to be careful about is biting off more than we can chew.
191
Yes, especially as it doesn't count towards our final assessment anyway.
192
So, shall we just limit it to data about population size and energy consumption?
193
How about if we add in one other factor, carbon emissions?
194
I think it'd be interesting to see what the interaction between those three factors is like.
195
Okay, but in that case, we originally planned to stick to countries in North and South America.
196
But what if we narrowed it down further?
197
I'd be happy with that.
198
How about, let's say, 20 countries in all, the top 10 consumers of energy in the region, and also the bottom 10?
199
Sounds good.
200
And we can calculate per capita consumption and per capita emissions to allow valid comparisons.
201
Actually, it would be interesting to look at a breakdown of the types of energy each of those countries uses.
202
You know, how much coal, how much wind power, how much nuclear power, and so on.
203
But we did just agree to restrict our data.
204
I know.
205
And then, what about the way we present our data?
206
Our tutor said that's one of the things she'll be looking at in particular, especially our graphics.
207
Don't you think a bar chart would be more effective than a set of tables with figures?
208
It might, but I've got another idea.
209
I'm keen to display our data on a map instead.
210
We can easily find a software program to do that.
211
Brilliant.
212
Thanks.
213
One last thing, Charlie, and then we better go away and get started.
214
Who's going to do what?
215
Your math is better than mine,
216
so I'll volunteer to search out all of the raw data we need if you're prepared to do the necessary number crunching.
217
Okay, but can you get them to me as soon as possible?
218
I'll do it tonight.
219
Okay, and I tell you what, since the graphics were my idea, I'll take those on.
220
But do you mind doing the text?
221
You've got a better way with words than I have.
222
That's okay with me, as long as you'll agree to look over everything
223
and give it the finishing touches before we hand it in.
224
It's a deal.
225
Shall we meet at the same time tomorrow, or do you...
226
That is the end of Section 3.
227
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
228
You Section 4
229
You will hear a university lecturer talking to his students about an architectural studies assignment.
230
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on pages 7 and 8.
231
Thank you.
232
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
233
Okay, before this morning's lecture on successful design of public buildings, I want to draw your attention to your next assignment.
234
So, your assignment is on public monuments,
235
and by that I mean any structure or statue that is built to remind us of important events or of historic figures.
236
The assignment should be divided into three sections.
237
At the beginning of Section 1, you should identify the monument you're examining and say why you've chosen it.
238
Include a comment on whether you think the monument works.
239
By that, I mean its success.
240
You may think it's wonderful.
241
You may think it's a public eyesore, something that people hate looking at.
242
Next, you should also include in this first section information about where the monument was built
243
Its geographical site
244
And also a discussion of its social importance
245
How relevant it was for the people of the time
246
You should also include information on when it was built
247
Its historical background
248
And make sure you illustrate the assignment appropriately too I shall expect that
249
Insert any plans you can find, and make sure any photographs you use have captions and are clearly referred to in the text,
250
or they will be meaningless.
251
To end this section, you should include something about the record of the person who designed the monument,
252
showing how the monument relates to his or her other work.
253
Right.
254
In section two of the assignment, you'll need to give a detailed account of the design and construction of the monument.
255
Firstly, I'll want to read about any particular influence you think is apparent in the design.
256
More often than not, there will be something in it that links it to an established style.
257
Classical Greek, for example.
258
Or it may reflect a movement, like Bauhaus or Art Nouveau.
259
You decide.
260
Secondly, I want information about the choice of materials, not only those which were used, but reasons why they may have been selected from others
261
that were available at the time and in the area where the designer worked.
262
Next, I'll want to mention of any particular skills that were necessary in the construction too.
263
The third section is the most important one.
264
Here, you'll go into much more critical detail.
265
To add to your own comments, you'll need to carry out a survey for this section to be as comprehensive and rounded as possible.
266
Ask yourself and others the following questions.
267
Firstly, was the reason for erecting the monument a valid one?
268
For example, was it one that ordinary members of the public, the man or woman on the street,
269
can readily relate to, and did it justify how much public money it cost?
270
Was it a waste, or does it represent a sound cultural investment?
271
Then, think about its emotional impact.
272
When someone looks at it, how do they feel?
273
Angry?
274
Sad?
275
Indifferent?
276
And don't forget to consider how well the monument sits in its environment.
277
Does it harmonize with it, or does it clash with it?
278
And is that important?
279
Does it add to the effect or take away from it?
280
Right, those guidelines should help.
281
Oh, and remember, it is important to weigh up carefully how to make the
282
maximum impact in this kind of critique within the number of words allowable.
283
You don't get extra marks for lots of factual information.
284
You get those for a well -constructed analysis that's what counts and that needs to be based on your personal opinion
285
That is the end of Section 4.
286
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
287
Thank you.
288
Thank you.
289
Thank you.

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。
