IELTS LISTENING – Study Skills Tutorial S47T3

 IELTS listening Study Skills Tutorial listening practice test has 10 questions belong to the Dissertation Guidance.
TUTOR: Ah Caroline…come on in. Sit down.
 
CAROLINE: Thanks.
 
TUTOR: So how’s the dissertation planning going?
 
CAROLINE: Well Dr Schulmann. I’m still having a lot of trouble deciding on a title.
 
TUTOR: Well, that’s perfectly normal at this stage. And this is what your turorials will help you to do.
CAROLINE: Right.
 
TUTOR: What we’ll do is jot down some points that might help you in your decision. First of all, you have chosen your general topic area, haven’t you?

 
CAROLINE: Yes, it’s the Q21 fishing industry.
 
TUTOR: Oh yes, that was one of the areas you mentioned. Now, what aspects of the course are you good at?
 
CAROLINE: Well, I think I’m coping well with Q22 statistics, and I’m never bored by it.
 
TUTOR: Good. Anything else?
 
CAROLINE: Well, I found computer modelling fascinating – I have no problem following what’s being taught, whereas quite a few of my classmates find it difficult.
 
TUTOR: Well, that’s very good. Do you think these might be areas you could bring into your dissertation?
 
CAROLINE: Oh yes, if possible. It’s just that I’m having difficulty thinking how I can do that. You see I feel I don’t have sufficient background information.
 
TUTOR: I see. Well, do you take notes?
 
CAROLINE: I’m very weak at Q23 note-taking. My teachers always used to say that.
 
TUTOR: Well, I think you really need to work on these weaknesses before you go any further.
 
CAROLINE: What do you suggest?
 
TUTOR: Well, I can go through the possible strategies with you and let you decide where to go from there.
 
CAROLINE: Okay, thanks.
 
TUTOR: Well, some people find it helpful to organise peer-group discussions – you know, each week a different person studies a different topic and shares it with the group.
 
CAROLINE: Oh right.

 
TUTOR: It really helps build Q24 confidence, you know, having to present something to others.
 
CAROLINE: I can see that.
 
TUTOR: The drawback is that everyone in the group seems to share the same Q25 ideas…they keep being repeated in all the dissertations.
 
CAROLINE: Okay.
 
TUTOR: You could also try a service called ‘Q26 Student Support‘. It’s designed to give you a structured programme over a number of weeks to develop your skills.
 
CAROLINE: Sounds good.
 
TUTOR: Yes, unfortunately there are only a few Q27 places. But it’s worth looking into.
 
CAROLINE: Yes, of course. I know I’ve got to work on my study skills.
 
TUTOR: And then there are several study skills books you can consult.
 
CAROLINE: Right.
 
TUTOR: They’ll be a good source of reference but the problem is they are sometimes too Q28 general.
 
CAROLINE: Yes, that’s what I’ve found.
 
TUTOR: Other than that I would strongly advise quite simple ideas like using a card index.
 
CAROLINE: Well, yes, I’ve never done that before.
 
TUTOR: It’s simple, but it really works because you have to get points down in a small space. Another thing I always advise is don’t just take your notes and forget about them. Read everything Q29 three times that’ll really fix them in your mind.
 
CAROLINE: Yes, I can see it’d take discipline but…
 
TUTOR: Well, if you establish good study skills at this stage they’ll be with you all your life.
 
CAROLINE: Oh yes. I completely agree. It’s just that I don’t seem to be able to discipline myself. I need to talk things over.
 
TUTOR: Well, we’ll be continuing these tutorials of course. Let’s arrange next month’s now. Let’s see, I can see you virtually any time during the week starting 22nd January.
 
CAROLINE: What about the 24th? I’m free in the afternoon.
 
TUTOR: Sorry, I’m booked then. What about the following day?
 
CAROLINE: Thursday? I can make the morning.
 
TUTOR: Fine, we’ll go for the Q30 25th then.
 
CAROLINE: That’s great, thanks.

IELTS LISTENING – Greek Island Holidays S47T1

   
IELTS listening Greek Island Holidays listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Multiple Choice. 
MAN: Greek Island Holidays, can I help you?
 
WOMAN: Yes, I hope so. I have a friend who’s just come back from Corfu and she’s recommended some apartments in Arilas. She thought they might be on your list.
 
MAN: Arilas, Arilas, let me see. Can you give me the names?
 
WOMAN: Yes, the first’s Rose Garden Apartments. I’d like to go with another friend in the last week of October.
 
MAN: Well, we’ve got a lovely studio flat available at that time. I’m sure you’d enjoy the entertainment programme there too, with Greek dancing in the restaurant.

WOMAN: And the cost for each of us?
 
MAN: ￡219.
 
WOMAN: That sounds very reasonable! I’m just jotting down some notes. Now the second one she mentioned was called Blue Bay.
 
MAN: Blue Bay? Yes, in fact that’s very popular and it has some special features.
 
WOMAN: Really?
 
MAN: The main attraction is the large swimming pool with salt water.
 
WOMAN: Much healthier, I understand.

 
MAN: That’s right. And it isn’t far from the beach, either – only Q1 300 metres, and only around half a kilometre to some shops, so you don’t have to be too energetic.
 
WOMAN: Is it much more expensive than the first one?
 
MAN: Let me just check. I think at the time you want to go it’s around ￡260 – no ￡275 to be exact.
 
WOMAN: Right, I’ve got that. Now there are just two more apartments to ask you about. Um, I can’t read my own writing! Something to do with sun… Sunshine, is it?
 
MAN: I think you meant the Q2 Sunshade Apartments. They’re on a mountainside.
 
WOMAN: Any special features?
 
MAN: Yes, each room has its own sun terrace and there are shared barbecue facilities.
 
WOMAN:  Sounds lovely!
 
MAN: Yes, it is rather well-equipped.It also provides water sports – it has its own beach. There are facilities for water-skiing.
 
WOMAN: Any kite-surfing? My friend’s quite keen.
 
MAN: Not at the hotel but I’m sure you’ll find some in Arilas. There’s also satellite TV in the apartments.
 
WOMAN: And how much is that one?
 
MAN: ￡490 with two sharing.
 
WOMAN: You mean ￡245 each?
 
MAN: I’m afraid not! Each person has to pay that amount and there must be at least two in an apartment.
 
WOMAN: I don’t think that would be within our budget, unfortunately. And the last one sounds a bit expensive too – the Grand!
 
MAN: Actually it’s quite reasonable. It’s an older style house with Greek paintings in every room, and a  Q3 balcony outside.
 
WOMAN: Sound nice. What are the views like?
 
MAN: Well, there are  Q4 forests all round and they hide a supermarket just dow the road, so that’s very useful for all your shopping needs. There’s a disco in the area too.
 
WOMAN: And the price?
 
MAN: Q5 ￡319 at that time, but if you leave it till November it goes down by 40%.
 
WOMAN: Too late, I’m afraid.
 
MAN: Well, why don’t i send you a brochure with full details, Ms…?
 
WOMAN: Nash. But don’t worry about that. I’m coming to Upminster soon and I’ll call and get one. I just wanted to get an idea first.
 
MAN: Well, that’s fine. We’ve got plenty here when you come.
 
WOMAN: If you’ve got a minute, could I just check a couple of points about insurance? I got one policy through the post but I’d like to see if yours is better.
 
MAN: Fine. What would you like to know?
 
WOMAN: Well, the one I’ve got has benefits and then the maximum amount you can claim. Is that like yours?
 
MAN: Yes, that’s how most of them are.
 
WOMAN: Well, the first thing is cancellation. If the holiday’s cancelled on the policy I’ve got, you can claim ￡8,000.

MAN: We can improve on that, Ms Nash. For Greek Island holidays, our maximum is Q6 ￡10,000
 
WOMAN: That’s good – of course our holiday won’t even cost ￡1,000 together!
 
MAN: It’s still sensible to have good cover. Now, if you go to hospital, we allow ￡600.
 
WOMAN: Yes, mine’s similar.
 
MAN: And we also allow a Q7 relative to travel to your holiday resort.
 
WOMAN: My policy just says their representative will help you.
 
MAN: You can see there’s another difference there. And what happens if you don’t get on the plane?
 
WOMAN: Nothing, as far as I can see on this form.
 
MAN: Don’t you have  Q8 missed departure?
 
WOMAN: No, I’ll just jot that down.
 
MAN: We pay up to ￡1,000 for that, depending on the reason. And we’re particularly generous about loss of personal belongings – up to ￡3,000, but not more than ￡500 for a single Q9 item.
 
WOMAN: Then I’d better not take my laptop!
 
MAN: Not unless you insure it separately.
 
WOMAN: OK – thanks very much for your time – you’ve really been helpful. Can I get back to you? Your name is?
 
MAN: Ben – Q10 Ludlow. That’s L-U-D-L-O-W. I’m the Assistant Manager here. I’ll give you my number. It’s 081260 543216.
 
WOMAN: But didn’t phone 08126 567294? That’s what I’ve got on the paper.
 
MAN: That’s the main switchboard. I’ve given you my direct line.
 
WOMAN: Right, thank you…

IELTS LISTENING – Winridge Forest Railway Park S47T2

 IELTS listening Winridge Forest Railway Park listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Local Business.
WOMAN: For the second in our series about locally-run businesses, we meet Simon Winridge, co-founder of the hugely-successful Winridge Forest Railway Park. Welcome, Simon. Now, perhaps you can begin by telling us a little bit about how it all started.

MAN: Well, during the 1970s, my wife, Liz, and I had just acquired 80 acres of sheep-farming land, and we decided to settle down and have children. Pretty soon we had a daughter, Sarah, and a son, Duncan. The place was wonderful for the kids: they particularly loved trains and gradually built up an enormous network of miniature railway track. I began to develop larger-scale models of locomotives but we didn’t think anything more of it until I went on a Q11 trip to a theme park near Birmingham and decided we could do a much better job! So we set up a small one ourselves based on the miniature railway and we opened to the public for just a month that year, 1984 – in July – our driest month – because our children said they Q12 didn’t want our guests to have a miserable, wet visit. I dealt with Park business and Liz carried on with the farm work.
 
It soon became clear that we were onto a winner. We began to extend the railway track and lay it among more interesting landscape by planting trees, which in turn attracted more wildlife, and by making cuttings through the rock.
 
Nowadays, we’re open all year round and we’re pleased to say that Winridge is one of the most popular visitor attractions in the area – with 50,000 visitors a year – Q13 a million and a half people have been through our doors since we opened.
 

 
All these visitors mean we have had to expand our operation and it’s now a truly family concern. I’m near to retirement age so I only concern myself with looking after the Q14 mechanical side of things – keeping the trains going. Liz now devotes all her energies to recruiting and supporting the large Q15 squadron of workers, which keep the place running smoothly. We’re really pleased that after some years away teaching, Sarah has now returned to the park and makes sure the visitors are kept Q16 fed and watered, which keeps her pretty busy as you can imagine. Our son, Duncan, has been a stalwart of the park for the last ten years, taking over from me in the Q17 area of construction – and I’ll say a little bit more about that in a moment – and his new wife. Judith, has also joined the team in Q18 charge of retail. That’s becoming a tremendous growth area for us – a lot of people want to buy souvenirs.
 
WOMAN: So have you finished your development of the site for the moment?
 
MAN: Not at all! We’re constantly looking for ways to offer more to our visitors. The railway remains the central feature and there’s now 1.2 kilometres of the line laid but we’d like to lay more. Because of the geology of the area, our greatest problem is digging tunnels. But we’re gradually overcoming that. We’re also very pleased with a new installation of the Go-Kart arena which is Q19 120 square metres in area. Again the problem is the geology; we had to level the mounds on the track for safety reasons. We wanted to enable Q20 5-12year olds to use the go-karts. And the main attraction here is the Formula 1 Kart. We’ve known fights to break out over who gets it! And then finally to our most recent development which is the landscaped…

LECTURER:

Welcome to further education Information Week. This is the Physical Education Faculty’s session and I’m the Head of the Faculty. During the course of this morning we hope to give you a clear idea of what we offer in our training programs and we will look at the types of courses and the entry requirements, if any, for those courses. Some of these courses are open to school leavers, but for some, you need previous qualifications or relevant successful employment.

So firstly, the Physical Fitness Instructor’s course is offered as a six-month certificate course which includes an important component of personal fitness but there are no specific entry requirements.

For Sports Administrators, we provide a Q31 four-month certificate course but you should be aware that this is designed for those who are in employment. This Q32 employment must be current and related to sports administration. For the Sports Psychologist course, we offer a Q33 one-year diploma course, but this diploma course is available only to those who already hold a degree in psychology, so you need to make sure you have that before you apply to do this course.

For the Sports Psychologist course, we offer a one-year diploma course, but this diploma course is available only to those who already hold a degree in psychology, so you need to make sure you have that before you apply to do this course.

Now . . . for Physical Education Teachers we offer a four-year degree in education. This degree course is designed for preparing students to teach in primary and secondary Schools and needs Q34 no prior qualifications as it is entered directly by school leavers. And lastly, for the Recreation Officer’s course we offer a Q35 six-month certificate. Entry to this course normally includes applicants of a wide range of ages and experiences, but we do not insist on any prerequisites for this course.

Remember that this is a vocational training institute. We train you so that you can take up a particular kind of job. So it is important that you know the main roles of the jobs – what the work is like and what kind of qualities you need to succeed at them.

Q36 A Physical Fitness Instructor works in health and fitness centres preparing individual programs for ordinary members of the public. Physical Fitness Instructors prepare routines of exercises to suit the individual client’s age and level of fitness.

Q37 Sports Administrators run clubs and sporting associations. Their duties include such things as booking playing fields with local councils and organising the schedule of games or events for the club, so they need good organisational skills.

Q38 Sports Psychologists spend time with professional athletes helping them approach competition with a positive mental attitude to enable them to achieve their personal best. They do this by improving motivation and concentration or assisting with stress management.

Q39 Physical Education or PE Teachers instruct young students in how to exercise, play sports, and do other recreational activities correctly and safely. PE teachers help the development of coordination, balance, posture, and flexibility with things like simple catching and throwing skills. They are not expected to be experts in all sports but must be able to show students the basic techniques involved in a wide range of activities.

Q40 Recreation Officers often find themselves working for local government authorities and local groups. Their aim is to raise people’s awareness of healthy lifestyles and improved general fitness through arranging recreational activities for groups of all ages from the very young to the elderly.

There are many other job opportunities which our graduates can look forward to. If you are interested in any of these …
