IELTS LISTENING – Dissertation Tutorial Record (Education) S34T3

 

IELTS LISTENING Dissertation Tutorial Record (Education) listening practice test has 10 questions belong to the Academic & Student-Tutor Tutorial

TUTOR: Hello, Sandy. How have you been getting on with your dissertation?

SANDY: Fine, and I’ve been working hard on the various action points we agreed on our last tutorial.

TUTOR: Do you want to talk me through what you’ve done?

SANDY: Yeah, sure. Well, we agreed on three main targets for me to aim for. The first one was to find out about suitable data analysis software.

TUTOR: Yes.

SANDY: And what I decided to do was to look through Q₂₁ catalogues specialising in IT.

TUTOR: That’s a good idea. What did you come up with?

SANDY: I found the names of two promising ones.

TUTOR: Right.

SANDY: But I also thought it’d be worthwhile talking to a lecturer.

TUTOR: Oh right. Who did you see?

SANDY: Jane Prince. Do you know her? She’s in the Q₂₂ Computer Centre.

TUTOR: Yes, of course, she’s the new Head.

SANDY: Yes. Well, she was very helpful.

TUTOR: Oh, that’s good. Did she suggest anything in particular?

SANDY: Yeah. She recommended software called Vivat and said I should book up for a couple of practice sessions using Vivat.

TUTOR: Great. I’m sure you’ll find them useful.

SANDY: And, of course, the second target was to draw up a survey Q₂₃ checklist which I …

TUTOR: Yes, you emailed me it last week.

SANDY: Have you had a chance to look …?

TUTOR: Of course, um I think it’s good. Very much on the right lines. I’d say your first two sections are spot on. I wouldn’t suggest that you change anything there, but in section three you really do need to have questions on Q₂₄ teaching experience.

SANDY: Yeah. I was thinking that section looked a bit short.

TUTOR: Right.

SANDY: And my third target was, do further reading on discipline.

TUTOR: Oh yes. I mentioned a couple of writers, didn’t I?

SANDY: Yes, well I got hold of the Banerjee and I thought that was excellent.

But I’m afraid I didn’t manage to get hold of the essays about Q₂₅ classroom management – you know, the ones by Simon Ericsson.

The bookshop said it was out of print and the library doesn’t have a copy.

TUTOR: Oh right, and I’m afraid I’ve lent my copy to another student.

What I suggest you do is try the library again – this time apply for it through the service called special loans.

Have you done that before? You’re entitled to six books a year.

SANDY: Yes. No problem. That’s what I’ll do.

TUTOR: So, lots of useful work done.

TUTOR: So, let’s look at some new targets. We’ll start by having a chat about your Chapter One. I very much enjoyed reading it. Your written style is very clear and you’ve included lots of interesting descriptions of education in your target area. I’ve just got a couple of suggestions for some additional work.

SANDY: Of course. Could I just ask – what do you think I should call it?

TUTOR: Well, I’d go for something like Context Q₂₆ Review. What do you think?

SANDY: Well, short and to the point.

TUTOR: Exactly. Now, as regards specific areas to work on, I’d be quite interested to have a few more statistics about the Q₂₇ schools in the different zones.

SANDY: Oh, that wouldn’t be a problem. I can get them from the Internet.

TUTOR: Great, and although you did make a reference to quite a few different writers, I think you should aim to cite more works written later than Q₂₈ 2000.

SANDY: OK. That’s more difficult, but I can try When do you want that done by?

TUTOR: Oh, it’s not urgent. Um I should aim for the Q₂₉ end of term. But in the meantime, I think you should also be thinking about Chapter Two.

SANDY: Should I be drafting it already?

TUTOR: No, but I think you should note down its main sections.

SANDY: Yes. You know, I always find that the hardest part.

TUTOR: I always find it helpful to put some ideas on index cards.

SANDY: Yeah.

TUTOR: Um … and then you can sort them, and even lay them out on the floor. It’s a real help.

SANDY: Well, I’ll certainly try it! When would the deadline be for that?

TUTOR: My advice would be to get it done before you embark upon the Q₃₀ research. You can always change it later if you need to.

SANDY: OK. I’ll get going on that then.

IELTS LISTENING – Enquiring about College Courses S33T3

IELTS listening Enquiring about College Courses listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Education & College Facilities subject.

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.

🎧Attempt Free Listening Test…

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: Q₂₁ 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 Q₂₂ 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 Q₂₃ 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.

BRIAN: OK.

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 Q₂₄ 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 Q₂₅ 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.

BRIAN: OK.

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 Q₂₆ laptops to use in your own home or workplace as well as Q₂₇ 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 Q₂₈ 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 Q₂₉ marketing – that’s a popular one.

Local managers seem to queue up to borrow the videos!

BRIAN: So it 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 Q₃₀ 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.

IELTS LISTENING – CHILDREN’S ART AND CRAFT WORKSHOPS S34T1

 

IELTS LISTENING  CHILDREN’S ART AND CRAFT WORKSHOPS listening practice test has 10 questions belong to the Children’s Activities & Museum Workshops.

MAN: Good morning, Synmouth Museum. Can I help you?

WOMAN: Oh yes. Good morning. I’m interested in the children’s workshops and I’d like a little more information, please.

MAN: Do you mean the Art and Craft workshops?

WOMAN: Yes. A friend of a friend mentioned them – the children do painting and make models and so forth.

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.
