MAN: Yes, of course. Um, where to begin? First of all, as you probably know, they run every Example Saturday.

WOMAN: Fine. And what about ages?

MAN: Well, all ages from five upwards are welcome, though we do ask that children below Q₁ eight years of age are accompanied by an adult.

WOMAN: Fine. That wouldn’t be a problem. What about cost?

MAN: Well, I think you’ll find them very reasonable. It’s £2.50 a child, with 80 pence off for two or more children from the same family.

WOMAN: Oh yes, very reasonable. And are they held in the main museum?

MAN: Not exactly. They’re nearby.

WOMAN: Could you give me the full address? I don’t know the area very well.

MAN: Yes, it’s Winter House.

WOMAN: Right.

MAN: And that’s in Tamer Street.

WOMAN: Could you spell that please?

MAN: Yes, Q₂ T-A-M-E-R Street.

WOMAN: Lovely.

MAN: And I do need to tell you that there’s a security entrance, so you need to press the Q₃ green button for someone to let you in. Don’t press the red button please, but don’t worry, it’s all clearly labelled.

WOMAN: OK. And one more question – is parking available nearby? We’re driving in from out of town.

MAN: Your best bet is to leave your car at the back of the Q₄ library – on a Saturday morning there are plenty-of spaces there. It’s right next door to the museum.

WOMAN: And can I ask about booking places?

MAN: Yes, and I must tell you, you really should book by calling the Q₅ education department here.

WOMAN: Oh, I’m sorry, should I have rung them instead of the main museum number?

MAN: No, that’s fine this time, please don’t worry. But for future reference, I’ll give you the direct number. It’s two hundred-seven-six-five.

WOMAN: Great, I’ve got that.

MAN: But I’m very happy to give you information about the next two workshops. On Saturday the 16th there’s Building Q₆ Castles.

WOMAN: Oh, sounds great!

MAN: This involves quite a bit of glue, so just make sure the kids are in Q₇ old clothes.

WOMAN: I know, ones I don’t mind getting mucky.

MAN: Exactly. And if possible, could you bring along Q₈ bottle tops which the children might be able to use in the models, you know, as decoration?

WOMAN: We’ll certainly try to find some for you.

MAN: Then the following week …

WOMAN: That’ll be the 23rd, won’t it?

MAN: Yes, that’s right. On that day, it’s what we call Q₉ Undersea Worlds. This is where they make scenes with fishes, underground caverns, and so on.

WOMAN: Is that likely to get very dirty? Lots of paint splashes?

MAN: Not really, so we don’t recommend any special clothes for that one. But if you could search out some Q₁₀ silver paper to bring along to use in the sessions, you know, it’s shiny – it looks like water, that’d be great.

WOMAN: Yes, of course. We’ll see what we can come up with. Well, thank you ever so much for all your help. The sessions sound really good and I’ll certainly book up for the next two.

MAN: Lovely. Thanks very much for ringing.

WOMAN: Bye.

MAN: Bye-bye.

IELTS LISTENING – RIVENDEN CITY THEATRE S33T2

IELTS listening RIVENDEN CITY THEATRE listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Leisure & Entertainment subject.

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. Q₁₁ 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. Q₁₂ 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. Q₁₃ 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.
Q₁₄ 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. Q₁₅ 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. Q₁₆ The small, dark dressing rooms we used to 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 Q₁₇ 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, Q₁₈ 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 Q₁₉ 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 £ Q₂₀ 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…

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

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

MAN: Do you have tennis courts, for example?

🎧Attempt Free Listening Test…

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 Q₁ a keep-fit studio, which is very popular with members, and then as well as that there’s Q₂ 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 Q₃ yoga classes, too.

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

WOMAN: At the moment, we’ve got Q₄ 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 £ Q₅ 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 £ Q₆ 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 Q₇ 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 £ Q₈ 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 Q₉ 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 Q₁₀ 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.

IELTS LISTENING – Feedback Form S31T3

 

IELTS LISTENING Feedback Form listening practice test has 10 questions belong to the Education & Course Feedback.

ANNIE: Oh Ben – I just remembered I never filled in that form for Nick – did you do it?

BEN: The course feedback form?

ANNIE: Yes. If you want, we can do it together, I’ve got mine here.

BEN: Is that OK?

🎧Attempt Free Listening Test…

⬇️  Download Free PDF

ANNIE: Yeah.

BEN: OK, let’s have a look then. What do we have to do?

ANNIE: Let’s fill in the top first, let’s see, Course, Course code …

BEN: Er, it’s Communication in Business.

ANNIE: OK, Communication … in … Business, I do know that, but what’s the code?

BEN: CB16 something, CB162, isn’t it?

ANNIE: Mmm, that’s it, OK, and dates, when did we start? I remember, my birthday’s on May 4th and it was the day after, it must have been Q₂₁ May 5th.

BEN: Gosh, doesn’t seem that long ago, does it?

ANNIE: No, and we finish at the end of this week, on Friday, so that’s July 15th?

BEN: Er Q₂₂ 16th, Monday was the 12th. Right, that was the easy bit, now let’s have a look – “Please give your comments on the following aspects of the course”, OK, what’s the first one? Oh, course organisation. What do you think?

ANNIE: Er, clear? It was, wasn’t it?

BEN: Yes, I think the organisation Q₂₃ was clear. OK, anything else for course organisation?

ANNIE: It was a good thing he gave us Q₂₄ the course outline at the beginning, in the first session, that was useful, so I’ll put that down, shall I? Now, going on to suggestions for improvement, one thing that wasn’t so good, I think we could have done a bit more work at the beginning, I mean at the beginning it seemed dead easy.

BEN: Yeah.

ANNIE: I thought it was going to be really easy and then all of a sudden in the Q₂₅ second half of the course we got a whole load of work, reading to do, and essays and things.

BEN: Yes, it’d be better if it was more even. OK, now course delivery, does that mean teaching?

ANNIE: Yeah, I suppose so. Well, what I thought was really good on this course was the Q₂₆ standard of teaching. Actually – I mean some of the teachers were better than others – but the standard generally was fine. Much better than other courses I’ve been on.

BEN: Yeah, I agree. Let’s put that then. What about suggestions for improvement?

ANNIE: I … I didn’t think it was all that wonderful when we had great long group Q₂₇ discussion sessions that went on for hours and hours. I don’t mean we shouldn’t have group discussions, just that they shouldn’t go on too long.

ANNIE: Now, on to materials and equipment.

BEN: Oh, now what was good about some sessions was the Q₂₈ handouts.

ANNIE: Yes, I thought all the handouts were good actually, and some were great, with website addresses and everything.

BEN: One problem though with materials was the key texts.

ANNIE: Yes! There just weren’t enough copies on reserve in the library. And if you can’t get the key texts before the session, how are you supposed to do the reading?

And not enough computers. You have to wait ages to get one.

BEN: OK, testing and evaluation – well, I don’t know, it’s hard to say until we’ve got our written assignments back.

ANNIE: Don’t talk about it, I only. got mine in yesterday, it was a real struggle. I hate to think what mark I’ll get.

BEN: Yes, but at least we’ve done the oral presentation – I thought that was good, the way I got my feedback really quickly.

ANNIE: Yes, it was. And I liked the way we knew what we’d be evaluated on, we knew the criteria, so we knew we had to think about clarity, organisation, and so on.

BEN: Yeah, but I’m not so sure about the Q₂₉ written work. One thing I think is that there’s just too much, it’s really stressful.

ANNIE: Yes, I’d agree and I don’t see why they can’t let us know the criteria they use for marking.

BEN: The written assignments? But he told us.

ANNIE: No, for the final exams. What are they looking for – what are the criteria? What makes a pass or a fail?

BEN: Yeah, I never thought of that. It’d be really useful.

ANNIE: OK, any other comments?

BEN: I thought Q₃₀ student support, was excellent.

ANNIE: Yeah, me too. OK, excellent. Other comments?

BEN: No, I can’t think of anything else.

ANNIE: Nor me. OK, so that’s done. Thanks, Ben.

BEN: No, thank you.
