MAN: Hello?

WOMAN: Hi, good morning, this is Talia from Parrot Bay Travel Agency. Is Robert Goddard (Example) there?

MAN: Yes, speaking.

WOMAN: I’m so sorry that I made such an early phone call, and I’m calling to ask a few questions about your most recent vacation – could I have five minutes of your time?

MAN: Sure thing.

WOMAN: Great, thanks. Now, I see here that you visited Melbourne. Was this your first visit to Melbourne?

MAN: No (Q1) , I have actually been there twice before.

WOMAN: I see. Now, what would you say was your favorite part about Melbourne?

MAN: Well, I did like seeing the exotic wildlife, and there are great sites to see, but I have to say I was most impressed by the amazing weather (Q2) .

WOMAN: Yeah, the weather there is amazing. Which of the sites listed as part of our official tour did you see, and of those, which was your favorite?

MAN: First I saw the theatre, which was beautifully designed. It was not nearly as cool as the Town Hall (Q3)  though – the building is a huge part of Melbourne’s history. Definitely my favourite. I saw the aquarium too, but wasn’t too impressed.

WOMAN: I see. Yes, people often have great reviews of Town Hall. Now I would like to ask you about your dining experience. Did you enjoy the food there?

MAN: Absolutely -I loved it!

WOMAN: I’m glad to hear it. Could you tell me a little bit about what you most enjoyed about the food?

MAN: Being such an international city, I loved the variety (Q4) – I could find any type of food I wanted. Whether I wanted seafood, burgers, or anything else, you name it and they had it.

WOMAN: Did you drive to Melbourne?

MAN: No, I flew. I thought about going by train, but in the interest of time I decided to go by plane (Q5) .

WOMAN: Right, I see.

WOMAN: And would you mind telling me whether you are under 20, between the ages of 20 and 40, or older than 40?

MAN: Er, it would be nice if I were still under 20. My vacation probably would have been quite different. Actually though, I just turned 41 last week (Q6) .

WOMAN: Oh, happy birthday! So did you treat yourself and fly first class?

MAN: Ha! No way. I would love to have a budget that high. I’m more in the mid-range (Q7) income level. I wasn’t always though – I spent much of my life in a low-income household.

WOMAN: I see. That answers my next question then, of income level. And what was the purpose of this visit?

MAN: I had to go there on business a lot before and decided I would go there for tourism (Q8) this time.

WOMAN: I see. And what is your occupation?

MAN: I am mainly a computer programmer (Q9) . I also write for a travel magazine on the side, which is why I visited Melbourne before, but it’s not my main source of income.

WOMAN: I see. Wow, it sounds like you work a lot!

MAN: Yes, I am very busy, which is exactly why I took a nice week-long vacation to Melbourne.

WOMAN: I completely agree. Would you care to comment on your accommodation?

MAN: My hotel was good value (Q10) . Staying in the city can get really expensive, so it was nice to find such a good price for the location and quality. I’m glad I didn’t end up in some cheap motel in the middle of nowhere.

WOMAN: I’m glad you didn’t either. Well, thank you for taking part in our survey, and I’m glad you enjoyed your vacation!

MAN: No problem. Take care!

Thank you all for coming to our community meeting. As you know, we are excited to unveil our improvement plan as we look forward to the influx of tourists in the summer months. I’ll start with a quick overview of the main points of interest in the area for anyone who may not quite know his or her way around yet, and then I’ll get into the improvements made.

First off is my favorite, the Science Museum, which is on the corner of Saint George Road (Q11) . If you have not visited it yet, I encourage you to go before the busy season. It is absolutely spectacular – there is even a flight simulator you can try out!

Just west of the Science Museum is the National History Museum (Q12) . It’s a site not to be missed as well, with each floor devoted to a different era in our nation’s history. There are special exhibits for children with interactive games and fun history lessons, too.

If you’re looking for parking, it is available on the intersection of Queen Street and South King Street in the Car Park (Q13) . Standard hourly and daily rates do apply.

The best place for souvenirs is the Shopping Mall, though it gets extremely busy during peak times. You can get there from the tube, or the entrance on Timber Road, just south of Cornwell Road (Q14) .

This area has students everywhere, usually from the Primary School across the street from the Shopping Mall (Q15) . Classes often take field trips and engage in guided tours through the area.

So that’s the overview of the main sites and hopefully by now I’ve given you a general idea of the area.

Now I’m going to outline the improvements we have made in our efforts to make the experience even better for each and every one of our visitors. You probably noticed when you first drove into the Car Park this morning, that there is now additional signage to help avoid confusion. The directions were not entirely clear at first, so we have increased the number of one-way signs indicating the correct direction of traffic flow (Q16) .

Not far from there, in line with our mission of giving back to the community, we constructed a brand new playground for the Primary School (Q17) . It is really something to be excited for – the equipment is state-of-the-art and includes swings, a small climbing wall, and even an obstacle course.

Now we’ll head north and take a look at the Science Museum. In response to our feedback from past visitors to the museum, there is now free information available (Q18) outlining not only upcoming IMAX showings, but also natural wonders like meteor showers, eclipses, and other cool natural events.

The Science Museum isn’t the only Museum improving the experience of its visitors. The National History Museum has added an entire new wing to its facility to accommodate the large crowds (Q19) of people gathering to see the Civil War exhibit, inventions timeline exhibit, and other wonderful sections of the museum. The increase in space will definitely give a more calm, comfortable experience for visitors (Q19).

And finally, remember when there was actually a line at the mall entrance from the Tube Station? It was terrible trying to get anywhere from the Tube because foot traffic got so backed up sometimes. We have addressed that by adding another entry point into the mall from the other end of the platform to disperse the crowd (Q20) .

So those are the major improvements we have made. Clearly having too many people that want to visit and enjoy what our community has to offer the public is a good problem to have, and I am confident that we have made the changes necessary to accommodate the growing interest in the area.

As always, we welcome any questions, comments, or concerns about the new improvement plan. In a few minutes I will open up the floor for questions but you can also contact me or any other board member by email or through the city website. Thank you for coming, and I now encourage you to stay for the Questions and Answers panel occurring between now and 10.30…

TUTOR: So you were both given your project assignments for your senior thesis today, right?

JANE: Yes, and we already have to submit our topics next week!

MARK: But how could they give us a grade this soon?

TUTOR: No, next week’s due date will not be counted towards your final grade. The teachers are just going to read your topic and give you feedback (Q21) .

JANE: Oh, I see. So first we should come up with our topics, and then what?

TUTOR: Well, once you know what you want to study, you need to think about how you’ll study it. You need to decide on your research methods. The methods will be the main part of your paper (Q22).

MARK: What about the results section?

TUTOR: Well, I can give you feedback on that, but you will be the one carrying out an experiment and thus will have to produce the Or here’s another example: What is one great place to advertise suntan lotion? How about a swimming pool? It has the exact group of people that need the product.

Alright, one last thing. Let’s say you’re filming a commercial for a water filter pitcher. What would be good scenery to use for the background? Think about somewhere calm and relaxing with clean, fresh water. Can’t you see how much Q40 more effective a commercial with the beautiful scenery and flowing rivers of a national park would be than, say, water dripping from a tap?

So to wrap things up today, think about the geography of your target market, the type of marketing material you should use, and the most effective way to appeal to the customer in order to make a successful ad campaign.

That is all I have for you all today. Make sure to read through chapter 8 for Monday if you have not done so already. OK, now I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have results on your own. What I would like to do today is practice writing research papers before you even begin your report. I’ll give you samples of old data from past experience, and you can practice writing results and drawing conclusions.

JANE: I think that would be really helpful.

MARK: Yeah, it sounds like a lot of extra work, but I’m sure it will make our actual project easier.

TUTOR: You are exactly right. So let’s get started. First, let’s try this simple experiment on fruit flies. Read the information, and then take 25 minutes to summarise a results and conclusion section. That’s really important – pay attention to the time limit (Q23) .

JANE: OK, does it still have to be 6,000 words?

TUTOR: No, don’t worry about that.

MARK: What if we get off topic?

TUTOR: I wouldn’t worry too much – you will have so much information to write about that it should be easy to stay on topic.

JANE: But what about other sources?

TUTOR: Well for this assignment, you can use the one from your textbook. In your actual paper, you should find old experiments that support your topic.

MARK: So do we need to find different types of sources? For instance, should I be conducting lots of interviews to use in my paper?

TUTOR: No, there’s no need to conduct lots of interviews (Q24) or anything like that.

MARK: OK, I’m ready to get started. I’m still a little confused though, on how we should format our paper.

TUTOR: Don’t worry about it for now, but on your final paper, make sure to pay attention to the format (Q25) . It should follow the guidelines exactly.

JANE: Oh man, I’m starting to understand why they give us all semester to do this. Are there any other small details like that that we should know about?

TUTOR: Not a whole lot, make sure you provide two copies (Q26) – one for your teacher of course, but one for yourself as well. And of course, you know the due date, right?

MARK: Uh, it’s April 11, right?

JANE: What? No! It’s May 11. Right?

TUTOR: Yes. The due date is May 11 (Q27) . Write it down!

MARK: Oh wow. Yeah, I need to note it. Also, I’m having trouble finding information on my topic. What if I can’t find enough good sources?

TUTOR: It’s alright to change (Q28) your topic. Just make sure to do it before the beginning of April.

MARK: Oh really? Wow, I’m definitely going to change it then.

TUTOR: Just make sure to write a note (Q29) to your teacher letting him or her know.

JANE: Okay. So getting back to writing this sample paper, where do we start? Should I just explain the experiment and what happened?

TUTOR: Well, you need to start with your hypothesis – what you think will happen – and then describe your procedure (Q30) . Then you can write up the results and your conclusions.

JANE: Oh boy, I don’t know if I can handle any more instructions…

Hello class, and welcome back to Marketing Strategies. This week I will expand upon last week’s lecture by talking about factors you should consider when creating advertising materials and the effects they can have on your product sales.

Lesson one: limit your advertising to the geographic area of your target market. Though you may have a product that people want in a large area, the distance (Q31) that customers are willing to travel is a significant factor in their choice of where to purchase that product.

Take this example – if you are really hungry and decide you want a burrito, would you choose the restaurant that is a block from your apartment, or the one that is just as good – or even slightly better – across town? Of course you’ll pick the closer restaurant.

Next, there’s the method of communication to your target market. How do you decide among radio ads, TV commercials, fliers, or even word of mouth?

While we often think of the visual presentation of ads, there is much more to advertising than the look. Studies show that consumers are much more likely to remember advertising slogans if there is also a sound (Q32) played. Did you know that your sense of smell is closely linked with memory? Think about Mandy’s Candy Store up the road. Every time you walk past it, you can just smell (Q33) the chocolate, right? I bet you can almost smell it now. Just mentioning the name brings about the smell memory, and in turn a chocolate craving. What better way to sell chocolate bars?

Obviously sometimes appealing to the senses isn’t the most practical way to advertise. For example, it is a good idea to come up with a marketing strategy that adapts to the product, especially digital products. The flexibility (Q34) of this kind of product is extremely important, so it is very common for advertisers to form one single layout for all of their ads – the visual, the medium, even the majority of the content – and simply update the ad each time they come out with a new version.

Remember, advertising is all about stirring up the right feeling in your potential customers, whether by stimulating the senses, appealing to intellect, and so on. Once the customer experiences the ad, the important thing is his or her reaction (Q35) . Someone could love the ad you made, but unless he or she considers buying the product, you have failed to get the reaction you were looking for.

So once you have successfully reached your target customer and you have his or her business, often you will want to expand to a larger market. More often than not, the same marketing strategies you used in your small campaign may not work for a larger audience. The larger you scale your product, the more factors you must consider. For instance, Apple operates worldwide, so they must tailor their advertising for each market they enter. Often you’ll see Apple ads on international flights that appear not only in English, which is the lingua franca of most regions, but also in the native language (Q36) of the majority of passengers. I traveled to Russia last week, and it was really interesting to see the same Nike ad that I have seen a hundred times – except this time it was in Russian!

Okay, going back to the medium of the advertisement, even after choosing to create print ads (instead of radio announcements, television commercials, etc) there is more to consider. If you print your ad in a newspaper, it will be read by a far different audience than if you print your ad in a popular magazine. Would you put an ad for the new Justin Bieber album in a newspaper? Probably not, because that product is most suitable for youths. Let’s face it – do you know anyone under the age of 25 that buys a newspaper (Q37) ? No!

Now let’s try a few strategy exercises. Imagine you are a company that is aiming to improve the environment (Q38) by making products that reduce human waste. How would you advertise your product? Clearly it would send the wrong message if you put up fliers or other materials that cause lots of waste paper. Consider instead putting commercials on the Health Channel, or buying ad space on websites like UNESCO.

Or here’s another example: What is one great place to advertise suntan lotion? How about a swimming pool (Q39) ? It has the exact group of people that need the product.

Alright, one last thing. Let’s say you’re filming a commercial for a water filter pitcher. What would be good scenery to use for the background? Think about somewhere calm and relaxing with clean, fresh water. Can’t you see how much more effective a commercial with the beautiful scenery and flowing rivers of a national park (Q40) would be than, say, water dripping from a tap?

That is all I have for you all today. Make sure to read through chapter 8 for Monday if you have not done so already. OK, now I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have…

Ielts listening – marketing report s11t3, ielts listening.

Marketing Report

Leo : Anna. I wanted to ask you about my marketing report. I’m not sure about it.

Anna : That’s okay, Leo. So what do you have to do?

Leo : Choose a product or service. Then, compared to organizations that produce it? I’m doing instant coffee.

Anna : But haven’t you got a weekend job in a clothing store? Why didn’t you choose clothing?

Leo : Q21 That was my first thought because I thought it would give me some practical examples. But when I searched for men’s clothing on the Internet, there were hardly any articles. So then I looked for coffee and I found there were tons .

Attempt full listening test…

Anna : Yeah, there are so many brands on the market now. Okay, so how much have you actually written?

Leo : I’ve done part one on economic and technological factors. I found some good data on technological changes. Q22 How in Australia, fewer people are buying instant coffee because of cheap coffee percolator is that they can use to make really coffee at home .

Anna : But there’s also a movement away from drinking coffee,

Leo : Switching to things like herbal teas instead because they think it’s healthier. But that’s not really to do with technology. It’s more cultural anyway. For Part two I’m comparing to instant coffee companies, coffee now and Shaffers and I’ve made this table of products.

Anna : Right. Let’s see. So you’ve got the brand names and prices and selling sizes and descriptions. Okay, the table looks good. You’ll get marks for research there. Where will it go?

Leo : In the section on the marketing mix under product.

Anna : Not in the appendix?

Anna : Okay, but it’s too factual on its own. Q23 You need to add some comments in that section about the implications of the figures .

Leo: Right? I’ll do that. Now, I want to say that I think that Shaffers is more of a follower than the leader in the coffee industry. Now I’m putting that in the section on market share. Does that seem okay?

Anna : Let’s see. So you’ve begun by explaining what market share is. That’s important, but you’ve got to be careful how you give that opinion.

Leo: Do you think it should go in another section?

Anna : Well, it’s fine where it is Q24 but you’ve got to back it up with some data or they’ll say your report lacks weight .

Leo: Okay, One thing I’m worried about is finding anything original to say.

Anna : Well, since this is your first marketing report, you’re not expected to go out and do interviews and things to collect your own data. You’re just using published data, so the analysis you do might not throw up anything that people didn’t know before. But the focus is more on how you handle the data. I mean, Q25 you might take something like a graph of sales directly from a website, but what makes your work original is the perspective you provide by your interpretation off it .

Leo: Oh, you know, it’s also different from business studies assignments at school. It’s really surprised me.

Anna : What? How much was that you have to do?

Leo: I expected that it’s more. I knew exactly what I had to do to get a good grade at school, and I knew I’d be expected to go more deeply into things here. But Q26 I haven’t got information on how the lecture is going to grade my work, what he’s looking for?

Anna : Well, one thing you have to remember is that in a marketing report, you’ve got to have what they call an executive summary at the beginning. I forgot that. And I got marked down.

Leo: Yeah, I’ve drafted it. I’ve got an overview.

Anna : Have you got something about the Q27 background there?

Anna : Good.

Leo: So I’ve just made a summary of the main I wasn’t sure whether or not I should have my aim’s there.

Anna : No, that’s too personal. The executive summary is just like what a manager would read to get a general idea of your report if he was in a hurry.

Leo: Right then I’m okay for the first main part, all of the macro environment stuff. But it’s when I get onto the problem section. I’ve listed all the problems that coffee now and shoppers are facing. But then what?

Anna : Well, you have to prioritize. So indicate the main problems and then you analyze each one by connecting it with the Q28 theory . That’s where your reading comes in.

Anna : Have you done your implementation section yet?

Leo: I’ve thought about it. So that’s where I write about what could be done about the problems.

Anna : Yes, and it’s got to be practical. So don’t forget to specify things like who would be involved and the Q29 cost and the order that things would be done in

Leo: Well, that shouldn’t take long.

Anna : You’d be surprised. Actually, that’s the bit that tends to get badly done because people run out of Q30 time that in the conclusion.

Leo: Oh, any hints for that?

Anna : Well, it’s got to draw out the main points from your report, so it’s got to be quite general. You need to avoid introducing new stuff here. It’s got to sum up what you said earlier.

Leo: Okay, Thanks, Anna. That’s been a big help.

IELTS Listening: Information about the Test

For IELTS, there is a general and an academic exam. However, the listening and speaking portions of both exams are the same. The difference is for reading and writing only.

In most test centers, the listening portion is done first, followed by reading and then writing. You will have to book a separate time for the speaking exam.

The listening test consists of 40 questions and takes around 30 minutes.  There are four sections to the test and you will only be able to hear each recording once. Find out everything you need to know about IELTS listening band scores here.

Paper vs Computer-Based

Depending on the center you do your test at, there are two options: Paper or Computer. They differ slightly in timing and how you record your answers.

For the paper-based exam, you have to listen and write down your answers on the questions paper at the same time. In the end, you will have an extra 10 minutes to write down your answers on the official sheet.

For the computer-based IELTS listening, you will put your answers directly into the computer. You will only be given two minutes, at the end, to review your answers and make any changes necessary (most people don’t change anything).

4 Parts to the IELTS Listening Exam

There are four distinct sections for this test.

Section 1:  A conversation between two people about a general topic.

This is often a phone conversation between two people who are booking a table at a restaurant or asking whether or not an apartment is still available to rent. You’ll usually have to listen for specific information such as names, times, places, numbers and dates.

Section 2:  A monologue (1 person) who is talking about a general topic.

This can often be a talk from a guide of some kind. You’ll hear information about a place, company, charity, etc.

Section 3:  A conversation about an academic topic.

It can be with up to four people. It may be 2 or 3 students talking to their professor about something.

Section 4:  A monologue about an academic topic.

This is an academic lecture.

There is a range of accents on this exam but the most common ones are British and Australian. Get familiar with these accents during your IELTS listening preparation and practice.

IELTS Listening Time

The IELTS listening exam time can vary a little bit. However, it’s generally around 30 minutes.

Instructions for Test Takers

Here is what you will hear during the test.

• You’ll be told to open your exam book. Take a deep breath and focus!
• Each of the four sections will be introduced with something like, “You’re going to hear two people, Keith and Jen talk about ____.”
• You will be told to look at the questions before the listening begins. It is a short amount of time so use it well. Underline key words.
• The conversation or monologue will begin. You will only hear the conversation once.
• Write down your answers (slightly differently, depending on whether it’s paper or computer-based).
• You will be given some time at the middle, or end of each conversation to look over your answers. Only change something if you’re sure. Otherwise, use that time to look at the next set of questions.

Tips for IELTS Listening

There are a number of things you can do to improve your score. Here are a few tips and tricks for IELTS listening.

Don’t forget to breathe. This is probably the most important listening tip in IELTS. Focus. Try to relax if possible. Get enough sleep the night before and be sure to eat breakfast if you have your exam in the morning.

30 minutes is quite a long listening test. It can be easy to lose focus, so be sure that you’re at your best! Practice doing full tests at home first so that you’re used to focusing this entire time.

Pay Attention to Context Clues

At the beginning of each section, the person will say who is talking and what they are talking about. This is very important. Pay attention to it!

For example, if people are talking about a new shopping mall, you might recall vocabulary such as: stores, shops, food court, money, credit card, shopaholic, etc. This will help you during the listening portion as you’ll already have these things in your mind.

ALWAYS Look at the Questions First

You will be given a short amount of time to read the question before doing the listening. Use this time well. It’s much easier to do well on a listening exam if you know specifically what you’re listening for. There will always be lots of extra information but only focus on the specific information you need to answer the questions.

This is a good general practice for any listening test! If you are able to read the questions first, it’s a big advantage.

The Questions are in the Correct Order

Listening tips in IELTS? You’ll want to pay attention to this one! On the exam, the questions are in the order that you’ll hear them on the listening. If you miss one of them, skip it and go on to the next one. You’ll have a bit of time, in the end, to try to answer it.

You may get the answers to 2-3 questions in a very short amount of time. There may be a long gap between answers (more common in section 4). Don’t worry. This is normal. Just keep breathing and stay calm!

Listening practice for IELTS

Pay Attention to the Word Count Limit

For each set of questions, there is a word count limit. It can change for the next set of questions. Pay close attention to this.

For example, you may have to write no more than two words and/or a number. In this case, you can write:

• 1 word + number
• 2 words + number

Also, pay attention to whether it says “number” (only 1) or numbers (more than 1 possible). Find out how words are counted here .

Spelling Matters

Pay attention to spelling. If the spelling is not correct, your answer will be marked wrong. However, British or American English spelling are both fine.

Don’t worry about spelling during the actual listening portion. You will have some time at the end to check your answers and/or transfer them. This is the time to check for the correct spelling.

This is similar to the writing portion of the exam where spelling is looked at. Find out more: Writing tips for IELTS.

General English Listening Skills are Important

• 42 Pages - 03/03/2017 (Publication Date)

A key part of scoring more highly on this part of the exam is to have good, general English listening skills. Although you can prepare for this test, it’s impossible to score in the highest bands without being generally good at English listening.

I recommend spending 50% of your time listening to things like movies (without subtitles), podcasts, audiobooks, etc. Then, spend the other 50% doing practice IELTS listening exams (see below for recommendations).

Multi-Tasking is Necessary

A lot of things will be happening at the same time. You will have to get familiar with being able to read questions, listen to the recording and write down your answers all at the same time. Practice doing this at home.

Make a Guess at All Questions

You will get points for all correct answers. However, you will not be penalized for the wrong ones. This means that you should try to make a guess at all the questions you missed.

Multiple-Choice Questions

If there is a multiple-choice question, write down the letter, not the answer. For example:

Which season is it?

Write “C.” Do NOT write “Fall.”

IELTS Listening Practice Tests

When you’re just starting out with these practice exams, you may want to listen to them more than once. That is fine for developing skills. However, it is VERY important to get into the habit of listening to each recording only once as you get closer to the exam. This is what the actual exam will be like.

IELTS Listening Question Types

There are a few different types of questions you’ll commonly find on the IELTS listening test. Here are the most popular ones:

Multiple Choice

You’ll have three possible answers and need to answer with A, B, or C.

You may also have three possible ways to complete the sentence. Choose A, B, or C.

You may also have a longer list of possible answers and are able to choose more than 1 of them.

You may have to match a numbered list of items to things you hear in the audio. This tests your ability to listen for detail.

Plan, Map or Diagram Labeling

You will need to put labels on a plan (a building for example), map or diagram (of a piece of equipment, for example). The possible answers are usually given to you as a list.

Form, Note, Table Completion

You will be required to fill in gaps in a form, set of notes, table, or something similar. It will focus on the main points of the listening passage. You may be given a list of words, or you may have to take words from the recording.

Sentence Completion

You will have to write one or two words or numbers in order to complete a sentence.

Short-Answer Questions

In this type of question, you will have to read a question and then write down a short answer using information from the reading passage. Pay close attention to the word and/or number limit.

Contractions (can’t) count as a single word. Hyphenated words (long-term, check-in) also count as 1 word.

There are a number of common questions that people have about the IELTS listening exam. Here are the answers to some of the most popular ones.

How can I get an 8.5 in IELTS listening?

In order to get an 8.5 in IELTS listening, you’ll need to get 89% of the questions correct.

How can I practice IELTS listening?

There are a number of ways that you can practice IELTS listening:

• Work on general listening skills with podcasts, TV shows, etc.
• Do lots of practice tests.
• Get familiar with the test format.
• Check your answers, especially for spelling and word count.
• Remember that you only get to listen once, so practice for this.
• It’s best to practice a little bit every day instead of for hours and hours one day.

Why is IELTS listening so hard?

IELTS listening is so hard because there’s only 1 test for all levels. For lower than a band 8, you’ll likely get many questions wrong. Also, the recording is only played once.

Which kind of question is most difficult for IELTS listening?

Most people consider the multiple-choice questions to be the most difficult part of the IELTS listening exam. This is because many of the answers are very similar. It’s very important to read the questions first during the time given.

Can I pause IELTS listening?

No, you cannot pause an IELTS listening recording. It will only play once, the entire way through. In addition, there’s a strict time limit for answering the questions. In short, you have no control over how fast it’s playing or when it starts and stops.

Notes on sports club audio transcript.

WOMAN: Good morning, oh sorry, it’s gone 12, I’ll start again, good afternoon,  Kingswell Sports Club , how can I help you?

MAN: Oh, good afternoon. I was wondering if you could give me some information about membership and facilities.

WOMAN: Of course. What would you like to know?

MAN: Do you have tennis courts, for example?

WOMAN: No, I’m afraid we don’t. We’re primarily a golf club.

MAN: What about football? I heard you had a team.

WOMAN: No, I’m sorry. Perhaps you’re thinking about Fresham Sports Centre.

MAN: Oh, right. I know it. I’ve played badminton there.

WOMAN: Have you? They’ve got a lot of facilities we don’t have and vice versa. We do have  a keep-fit studio , which is very popular with members, and then as well as that there’s  swimming , of course. MAN: That’s good. I like to swim every day.

WOMAN: We have a range of classes too. MAN: Do you have judo classes? I’m keen to learn.

WOMAN: Well, at the moment we offer kick-boxing. We’re planning to add judo and stretch classes soon. We’re currently running a range of  yoga classes , too.

MAN: What about relaxing after exercise? I assume you have a restaurant or something.

WOMAN: At the moment, we’ve got a  salad bar  which is very popular. We’ll also have a fully-licensed restaurant by the end of the year.

MAN: Sounds good!

WOMAN: What kind of membership are you interested in?

MAN: Um I’m not really sure. What are the options?

WOMAN: Well, there are three different membership schemes.

MAN: I see. What’s the difference?

WOMAN: Well, the first one’s called Gold, and you can use all the facilities at any time of the day or week. You can also join in as many classes as you like for free.

MAN: That sounds good. Is it very expensive?

WOMAN: Well, you pay a £250 joining fee and then it’s £450 – oh no, I’m sorry, it’s just gone up by £50, sorry about that – it’s now £500 for the annual subscription fee.

MAN: Right, got that. And what’s the next type?

WOMAN: Well, that’s Silver – it’s the same as Gold except you have to pay a small fee of  £1.00  per lesson for any you do and you can only use the centre at certain times.

MAN: I see. So when exactly?

WOMAN: You can only use the facilities  between 10 am and 4.30 pm .

MAN: So I couldn’t use the pool at 8 in the morning or evening, then?

WOMAN: That’s right.

MAN: OK. And the price for that? Is the joining fee the same as for Gold?

WOMAN: Actually, it’s slightly less than the £250 – it’s £225, but the annual fee is only £300. Does that sound more like what you want?

MAN: Well, it’s still rather more expensive than I thought. I’m a student here in England and I’m only here for six months.

WOMAN: Ah, then the Bronze scheme would probably suit you best.

MAN: How is that different?

WOMAN: Well, some of the facilities have restricted use.

MAN: And do I have to pay for classes?

WOMAN: Yes, it’s £3 for each class you join.

MAN: I see. And what are the hours then?

WOMAN: Between 10.30 and 3.30 weekdays only and you pay a £50 joining fee. The annual fee is  £180  – it works out at £15 a month, so that would be quite a lot cheaper.

MAN: Oh, that should be all right. I could come in my free periods. What do I have to do if I want to join?

WOMAN: Well, we book you in for an  assessment  with an instructor, who will show you how to use all the equipment. If you want to organise a trial session and look around the centre, you’ll need to speak to David Kynchley.

MAN: Could you spell that please?

WOMAN: David  K-Y-N-C-H-L-E-Y . I’ll give you his direct line number. It’s oh-four-five-eight-nine-five-three-double one.

MAN: Thanks.

WOMAN: Thank you for calling Kingswell Sports Club.

THE NATIONAL ARTS CENTER Audio Transcript

MAN: And here on Radio Rivenden we have Lynne Rawley, the Public Relations Officer of our own Rivenden City Theatre. Hello, Lynne.

LYNNE: Hello.

MAN: Now, the theatre is reopening soon after its three-year redevelopment programme, isn’t it?

LYNNE: That’s right, and there are a lot of improvements. The first thing people will see when they go in is that the foyer has been repainted in the original green and gold. Then  the box office has been reoriented, with its own access from the side of the building  instead of through the foyer, which means it can be open longer hours, and has more space, too. The shop that used to be in the foyer, which sold books and CDs, is the one part of the redevelopment which isn’t yet complete. The plan is to find new premises for it near the theatre, and we’ve had difficulty finding somewhere suitable.  We hope to reopen the shop in the next few months .

MAN: Will audiences find any difference in the auditorium?

LYNNE: Yes, we’ve increased the leg-room between the rows. This means that  there are now fewer seats  but we’re sure audiences will be much happier. And we’ve installed air conditioning, so it won’t get so hot and stuffy. We already had a few seats which were suitable for wheelchair users, and  now there are twice as many , which we hope will meet demand. Something else that will benefit audiences is  the new lifts. The two we used to have were very small and slow. They’ve now gone, and we’ve got much more efficient ones.

MAN: Anything for the performers?

LYNNE: Yes, we’ve made a number of improvements backstage.  The small, dark dressing rooms we used to have have been converted into two large airy rooms , so they’re much more comfortable now. And the state of-the-art electronic sound and lighting systems have been installed.

MAN: OK, so what’s the first play that audiences can see when the theatre reopens?

LYNNE: We’ve got a very exciting production of Peter Shaffer’s Royal Hunt of the Sun, which is currently touring the country. That starts on October the 13th and runs till the  19th . We’re experimenting a bit with the time the curtain goes up. We used to start all our performances at 7.30, but that made it difficult for people to go home by public transport, so instead we’re beginning at  7 , because at 9.45, when it finishes, there are still buses running. Tickets are already selling fast. The Friday and Saturday performances sold out almost immediately and, in fact, now there are only tickets for  Monday  and  Thursday .

MAN: How much are they?

LYNNE: We’ve introduced a simpler price structure. Ticket prices used to range from £6 to £30 but now they’re all  £18 . They’re available from the box office, in person, by phone, fax or post, or online.

MAN: OK, Lynne, now if you’d like to give the contact details for the theatre…

MARKETING ASSIGNMENT Audio Transcript

TUTOR: Hello, can I help you?

BRIAN: I was told to come here, because I’d like to talk to someone about taking a management course.

TUTOR: Right. I’m one of the tutors, so I should be able to help you.BRIAN:Oh, good. My name’s Brian Ardley. I’ve decided to enrol on a part time management course. A friend of mine took one last year, and recommended it to me.

TUTOR: Right.

BRIAN: Is there anything I should do before the course, like reading or anything?

TUTOR: We prefer to integrate reading with the course, so we don’t give out a reading list  in advance . But we like people to write a case study, describing an organisation they know.

BRIAN: I’ve already done that, as my friends told me you wanted one. But would it be possible to  sit in on a teaching session , to see what it’s like? I haven’t been a student for quite a while.

TUTOR: Fine. Just let me know which date, and I’ll arrange it with the tutor.

BRIAN: Now, could I ask you about the college facilities, please?

TUTOR: Anything in particular?

BRIAN: Well, the course is one day a week, all day, isn’t it? So presumably it’s possible to buy food?

TUTOR: Yes, the refectory’s open all day.

BRIAN: Does it cater for special diets? I have some food allergies.

TUTOR: Provided you warn the refectory in advance, it won’t be a problem.

BRIAN: Good. What about facilities for young children? I’d like to bring my daughter here while I’m studying.

TUTOR: How old is she?

BRIAN: Three.

TUTOR: Then she’s eligible to join the  nursery , which is supervised by a qualified Nursery Nurse. The waiting list for a place is quite long though, so you ought to apply now.

TUTOR: I don’t know if our careers advice service would be of any interest to you?

BRIAN: Yes, it might help me decide how to develop my career after the course.

TUTOR: The centre has a lot of reference materials, and staff qualified to give guidance on a one-to-one basis.

BRIAN: I noticed a fitness centre next to the college. Is that for students?

TUTOR: It’s open to everyone, but students pay an  annual fee  that’s much less than the general public pay.

BRIAN: And presumably the college library stocks newspapers and journals, as well as books?

TUTOR: Yes, and there’s also an audio-visual room, for viewing and listening to videos, cassettes, and so on. BRIAN: Is there also access to computers?

TUTOR: Yes, your  tutor  will need to arrange with the technical support team for you to get a password, so ask him or her about it when you start the course.

TUTOR: By the way, do you know about our Business Centre?

BRIAN: No, What’s that?

TUTOR: It’s a training resource – a collection of materials for people to study on their own, or use in their own organisations.

BRIAN: Uhuh. You mean books and videos?

TUTOR: Yes, and manuals for self-study. Plus a lot of computer-based materials, so people can work through them at their own speed, and repeat anything they aren’t sure about. And you can hire  laptops  to use in your own home or workplace as well as  printers  that you can take away.

BRIAN: Does it have anything that I could use to improve my study skills? I don’t have much idea about  report writing , and I’m sure I’ll need lt on the course.

TUTOR: Oh yes, there’s plenty of useful material. Just ask one of the staff.

BRIAN: Does the centre cover all the main areas of business?

TUTOR: Yes, topics like finance, and of course  marketing  – that’s a popular one. Local managers seem to queue up to borrow the videos!

BRIAN: So lt isn’t just for students, then?

TUTOR: No, it’s for members only, but anyone can join.

BRIAN: How much does it cost?

TUTOR: £100 a year for a company, and £50 for an  individual , with no discount for students, I’m afraid.

BRIAN: That’s very helpful. Well, I think that’s all. I’d better go home and fill in the enrolment form. Thanks for all your help.

TUTOR: You’re welcome. Goodbye.

BRIAN: Goodbye.

IRELAND IN THE NEOLITHIC PERIOD Audio Transcript

In the last few weeks, we’ve been looking at various aspects of the social history of London, and this morning we’re continuing with a look at life in she area called the East End. I’ll start with a brief history of the district, and then focus on life in the first half of the twentieth century.

Back in the first to the fourth centuries AD, when the Romans controlled England, London grew into a town of 45,000 people, and what’s now the East End – the area by the river Thames, and along the road heading north-east from London to the coast – consisted of farmland with crops and livestock which helped to feed that population.

The Romans left in 410, at the beginning of the fifth century, and from then onwards the country suffered a series of invasions by tribes from present-day Germany and Denmark, the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, many of whom settled in the East End. The technology they introduced meant that  metal  and  leather  goods were produced there for the first time. And as the East End was by the river, ships could transport goods between there and foreign markets.

In the eleventh century, in 1066 to be precise, the Normans conquered England, and during the next few centuries London became one of the most powerful and prosperous cities in Europe. The East End benefited from this, and because there were fewer  restrictions  there than in the city itself, plenty of newcomers settled there from abroad, bringing their skills as workers, merchants or money-lenders during the next few hundred years.

In the sixteenth century the first dock was dug where  ships  were constructed, eventually making the East End the focus of massive international trade. And in the late sixteenth century, when much of the rest of  England  was suffering economically, a lot of agricultural workers came to the East End to look for alternative work.

In the seventeenth century, the East End was still a series of separate, semi-rural settlements. There was a shortage of accommodation, so marshland was drained and  built  on to house the large numbers of people now living there.

By the nineteenth century London was the busiest port in the world, and this became the main source of employment in the East End. Those who could afford to live in more pleasant surroundings moved out, and the area became one where the vast majority of people lived in extreme  poverty , and suffered from appalling sanitary conditions. That brief outline takes us to the beginning of the twentieth century, and now we’ll turn to housing.

At the beginning of the century, living conditions for the majority of working people in East London were very basic indeed.  Houses were crowded closely together and usually very badly built , because there was no regulation. But the poor and needy were attracted by the possibility of work, and they had to be housed. It was the availability, rather than the condition, of the housing that was the major concern for tenants and landlords alike.

Few houses had electricity at this time, so other sources of power were used, like coal for the fires which heated perhaps just one room.  Of course, the smoke from these contributed a great deal to the air pollution for which London used to be famous.

A tiny, damp, unhealthy house like this might well be occupied by two full families, possibly including several children, grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Now, before I go on to health implications of this way of life, I’ll say something about food and nutrition.

Oh hi there! It’s nice to meet you.
