IELTS Listening Transport Survey listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Community & Transport subject.

Louisa: No, that’s fine.

Can I start by asking you how you traveled to town today?

Louisa: Sure, I came on the bus.

Transport Office: Great. Now can I get a few details about you? Okay. What’s your name?

Louisa: It’s Louisa.

Transport Office : Yes, _Q1 Hardie. Can you spell that, please?

Louisa: Yes. It’s H.A.R.D.Y

Transport Office: Great. Thanks. And can I have your address?

Louisa: It’s _Q2 19 white stone road.

Transport Office: Oh, right. I knew that area. It’s Bradfield, isn’t it?

Louisa: That’s right, huh? Is the postcode GT 7? It’s actually _Q3 GT8 2LC great.

Transport Office: rate. And could I ask what your job is? Are you a student?

Louisa: I’ve actually just finished my training. I’m a _Q4 hairdresser Oh,

Transport Office: right And one more question in this section. What is the reason for you coming into town today?

Louisa: Actually, it’s not for shopping today, which would be my normal reason, but to see the _Q5 dentist, right?

Transport Office: Now, in this last section, I’d like you to give us some ideas about the facilities and arrangements in the city for getting to and from work.

 

A

Louisa: Well, something I’ve thought about for some time is that when I do walk on DH, I’m doing a later shift. I think the _Q6 lighting should be better.

Transport Office: Yes, good point.

Louisa: And of course, I think it’s a real shame they’ve been cutting down on the number of footpaths. They should have more of those. Then people would walk more. Yes, right. And I don’t think there are enough _Q7 trains, That’s why I don’t use them. You have to wait so long.

Transport Office: Thanks And finally, I’d like to ask your opinion on cycling. As you may know, there’s a drive in the city to get more people to cycle to work.

But we realise that there are things which the council but also employers might do to helping courage workers to cycle to work.

Louisa: Yeah, well, I have thought about it on where I work. There are no _Q8 safe places to leave. Your bike’s okay. And also I’d have to cycle uphill. And on a hot day I’d arrive at work pretty sweaty. So I think I need a _Q9 shower somewhere at work. Right? And I suppose the last thing is that I wouldn’t be a ll that confident about cycling on such busy roads. I think I’d like to see you offering _Q10 training for that. You know, I’d feel a lot better about starting if that was the case.

Transport Office: Well, that’s very helpful. Thank you very much for your time.

Louisa: No problem. Bye.

IELTS LISTENING – Global Design Competition S14T3

IELTS Listening Global Design Competition listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Arts & Design / Education subject.

JOHN: Hello Professor, I’m John Wish cart. I’m working on my entry for the Global Design Competition. My tutor said you might be able to help me with it.

PROFESSOR: Ah, yes, I got a copy of your drawings. Come in and tell me about it. What sort of competition is it?

JOHN: Well, it’s an international design competition, and _Q21 we have to come up with a new design for a typical domestic kitchen appliance.

PROFESSOR: I see, and are there any special conditions? Does it have to save energy for example?

🎧Attempt free listening test…

JOHN: Actually that was the focus in last year’s competition. This year’s different. We have to adopt an innovative approach to existing technology, using it in a way that hasn’t been thought of before.

PROFESSOR: I see, that sounds tricky. And what kitchen appliance have you chosen?

JOHN: Well, I decided to choose the dishwasher.

PROFESSOR: Interesting, what made you choose that?

JOHN: Well, they’re an everyday kitchen appliance in most Australian houses but they’re all pretty boring and almost identical to each other. _Q22 I think some people will be prepared to pay a little extra for something that looks different.

PROFESSOR: That’s a nice idea. I see you’ve called your design ‘the Rockpool ‘ why is that?

JOHN: Basically because it looks like the rock pools you find on a beach. The top is made of glass so that you can look down into it.

PROFESSOR: And there’s a stone at the bottom. Is that just for decoration?

JOHN: Actually it does have a function. _Q23 Instead of pushing a button, you turn the stone.

PROFESSOR: So it’s really just a novel way of starting the dishwasher.

JOHN: That’s right.

PROFESSOR: It’s a really nice design, but what makes it innovative?

JOHN: Well, I decided to make a dishwasher that uses carbon dioxide.

PROFESSOR: In place of water and detergent? How will you manage that?

JOHN: The idea is to pressurize the carbon dioxide so that it becomes a liquid. The fluid is then released into the dishwasher where it cleans the dishes all by itself.

PROFESSOR: Sounds like a brilliant idea! Your system will totally do away with the need for b> detergents. So what happens once the dishes are clean?

JOHN: Well, to allow them to dry, the liquid carbon dioxide and the waste materials all go to an area called the holding chamber. _Q24 That’s where the liquid is depressurized and so it reverts to a gas. Then the oil and grease are separated out and sent to the waste system.

PROFESSOR: It sounds like you’ve thought it all out very thoroughly. So, what happens to the carbon dioxide once the process is complete? Not wasted I hope.

JOHN: Actually, that’s where the real savings are made. _Q25 The carbon dioxide is sent back to the cylinder and can be used again and again.

PROFESSOR: What a terrific idea. Do you think it will ever be built?

JOHN: Probably not, but that’s OK.

PROFESSOR: Now, you seem to have thought about everything so what exactly did you need me to help you with?

JOHN: Well, my design has made it to the final stage of the competition, and, in a few months’ time. I have to give a _Q26 presentation and that’s the part I was hoping you could help me with.

PROFESSOR: Right, well that should be easy enough. What have you managed to do so far?

JOHN: Well, I’ve got detailed drawings to show how it will work and I’ve also written a 500-word paper on it.

PROFESSOR: I see. Well, if you want to stand a good chance of winning you really need a _Q27 model of the machine.

JOHN: Yes, I thought I might but I’m having a few problems.

PROFESSOR: What is the main difficulty so far? Let me guess – is it the _Q28 materials?

JOHN: Yes. I want it to look professional but everything that’s top quality is also very expensive.

PROFESSOR: Look, projects like this are very important to us. They really help lift our profile. So why don’t you talk to the university about a _Q29 grant? I can help you fill out the application forms if you like.

JOHN: That would be great.

PROFESSOR: You’d better show me this paper you’ve written as well, For a global competition such as this you need to make sure the _Q30 technical details You’ve given are accurate and thorough.

JOHN: That would be a great help.

PROFESSOR: Is there anything else I can do?

JOHN: Well, I’m really …

IELTS LISTENING – The leisure club have recently been improved? S14T2

IELTS Listening The leisure club have recently been improved ? listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Leisure & Health / Community Facilities subject.

On behalf of LP Clubs, I’d like to welcome you all here today. My name’s Sandy Fisher and I’m one of the fitness managers here. Before we start our tour of the club I’ll just run through some basic information about the facilities we have here, including recent improvements, and explain the types of membership available. Our greatest asset is probably our _Q11 swimming pool which at 25 meters isn’t Olympic-sized, but now we’ve expanded it to eight lanes, it’s much wider.

This means there are rarely more than a couple of people at a time in each lane. Unfortunately, there isn’t space for an outdoor pool here but the glass roof on the swimming pool is partly retractable, which means you can enjoy something of the open-air experience on warmer days. Our _Q12 recently refurbished fitness suite has all the latest exercise equipment including ten new running machines and a wide range of weight-training machines. Each member is given full training in how to operate the equipment and there is always a trainer on duty to offer help and advice. Although we do have adult-only times after 6 and at certain times at weekends, children are well catered for. Older children continue to benefit from a wide range of tuition anything from trampolining to yoga.

One thing all our members appreciate about us is that we take very good care of them. This starts on day one with your personal assessment. You are asked to fill in a questionnaire giving details of any _Q13 health problems. One of our personal trainers will then go through this with you. The trainer will then take you through the _Q14 safety rules for using the equipment in the fitness suite. During your next exercise session, a personal trainer will work with you to make sure
you understand these. It’s very important to do this because we really do want to avoid having any sports injuries. There’s a lot more to looking after yourself than simply lifting weights! At the end of the personal assessment, the trainer will draw up a _Q15 plan. outlining what you should try to achieve within a six-week period. This will then be reviewed at the end of the six weeks of leisure club.

Now, I’ll just quickly run through the types of membership we have available. All members must pay a _Q16 joining fee of £90 in addition to the rates for the monthly membership fees. Gold membership entitles you to _Q17 free entry at all LP Clubs. There are now LP clubs in all major cities and towns so if you travel a lot this will be a great advantage. Individual gold membership costs £50 a month and joint membership for you and your partner will cost £75. Premier membership is for professional people whose work commitments make it difficult for them to use the club during the day and so LP gives booking preferences to Premier members at _Q18 peak times. This means you will find it easier to book the sessions at times that suit you. Reciprocal arrangements with other LP Clubs are available to Premier
members. Premier membership is for individuals only, but you will be sent passes for _Q19 guests every month. The leisure club monthly fee is £65.

You don’t have to have any special clothes or equipment when you visit the club. We provide robes and hairdryers in the changing rooms, but it’s very important to remember your _Q20 photo card because you won’t be able to get in without it.

For people who aren’t working during the day then …
