The Heritage Clothes exhibition is located in Gallery 5 of the museum. Q11 People who live in the area have spent two years preparing this exhibition, which brings together some of the fascinating garments traditionally worn in Q12 their own communities. They research the history of their communities clothing traditions and the customs and rituals associated with them. Altogether 16 countries are represented from Ghana to Korea from Turkey to Nepal. The photographs that accompany each display case were taken by some of the city college students who are studying design, and show the clothes being modeled by the real people who wear them in the course of their everyday lives.

Another highlight this season is the exhibition called Toys from the Past which can be found in gallery 9. This exhibition which will appeal to people of all ages is on tour throughout the country and will be here Q13 for 10 weeks only. The exhibits include dolls made over a hundred years ago with beautiful porcelain faces and in some cases real hair. The Collection covers the favorite toys such as wooden train sets from many different generations and provides plenty of interest for children and adults. The gigantic Q14 board games which are laid out on the gallery floor are one of the most popular activities in the exhibition and should not be missed this exhibition concludes with a special display of miniature toys. These small objects are on loan from countries all over the world and in some cases measure no more than a few centimeters. There’s a tiny car made from matchsticks a toy airplane complete with pilot and passengers made out of seashells and some Exquisite little buildings no higher than four centimeters.

The final Gallery highlight of the season is the biscuit Gallery at number 15. Many years ago this city was famous for its biscuits although today the factory no longer exists. Did you know for example that before biscuits were packed in paper or cardboard boxes biscuit tins were fashion items. The factory made Q16 tins round, Square, triangular, and hexagonal, for a whole range of different occasions to celebrate National events festivals famous faces, and so on. One fascinating display deals with people’s favorite biscuits there are sweet biscuits and savory ones biscuits filled with jam and biscuits filled with currants biscuits with pink, yellow, and white sugar icing or colored sugar flowers. When the factory finally closed it announced that people’s favorite biscuit was not as you might expect a chocolate biscuit or one filled with jam and cream Q17 but a plain Savory one which was eaten with cheese.

When you get to the end of the exhibition there’s an entertaining Hands-On activity to Q18 fill your own biscuit tin. All the biscuits ever produced by the company are piled up on a table along with various tins. The biscuits are made out of thin pieces of wood but the weight colors and shapes replicate the original biscuits. Your job is to fill it in with biscuits so that when the lid is taken off they sit there as neatly as they did when the job was done by machine, it’s not as easy as it looks if you would like to buy a Memento of your visit there is a museum gift shop selling postcards, souvenirs, and handmade Pottery next to the Q19 information desk on the ground floor. And finally, if you don’t want to carry your coats and bags around with you during your visit please make use of the free Q20 lockers provided by the museum. Enjoy your visit.

MAN: College accommodation Bureau Darren speaking. How may I help you?

Audio Player

STUDENT: How much would that cost?

MAN: Well, it depends for a standard room you’re looking at 3276 pounds for the year, that’s just for a room with wash basin, or Q1 3834 pounds if you want an ensuite that’s with your own small bathroom.

STUDENT: I see that’s more than I expected.

MAN: It does include heating. That’s quarter saving because energy costs can be high, especially in Winter.

STUDENT: Hmm, does it include meals as well?

MAN: No, all our rooms are self-catering now there’s a shared kitchen on each Corridor where you can cook if you want to or there are plenty of places to eat out on campus.

STUDENT: Okay, and you said that’s the price for the whole year?

MAN: Well, you pay annually, but actually it’s for 36 weeks it doesn’t include Q2 holidays you have to vacate the room then.

STUDENT: Oh um, I need somewhere to stay in the holidays I can’t afford to go home the flights are too expensive.

MAN: Well, there is another option, several families who either work at the college or have children studying here offer visiting students a room in their homes.

STUDENT: Oh.

MAN: We call this arrangement Q3 home welcome and we’ve still got a few places left at the moment. You pay 150 pounds per week and that includes breakfast, a packed lunch, and dinner as well as Heating.

STUDENT: Is there a contract? Do you have to stay for the whole year?

MAN: No, it’s Q4 flexible.

STUDENT: Um, it sounds really good but I’m not sure. I really want to be a little more independent.

STUDENT: What about finding somewhere to live off campus?

MAN: Yes, you can rent a property in town privately. You might want to rent a room in a shared house, you’d have a room of your own and share the kitchen and bathroom with other students.

STUDENT: What about if I don’t want to share?

MAN: You can get what we call a Q5 studio, they’re often quite small but they’ll have everything you need.

STUDENT: Right how much with those two options cost?

MAN: Well, prices vary depending on which part of town the property is in generally speaking the cheapest is around 275 pounds a month for each student.

STUDENT: Oh uh, that’s not too bad.

MAN: Yes, but it can also be as high as 490 pounds and then you’ll have to pay all your other bills.

STUDENT: What sort of amount would I be looking at for those well last year students were paying on average about 43 pounds per month each for gas and electricity this year it’ll probably be somewhere in the region of Q6 48 pounds.

MAN: That’s a lot.

STUDENT: Yes, they’ve gone up quite a bit and on top of that you have to pay for Q7 water and that’ll probably be around nine pounds.

MAN: That didn’t occur to me and I guess I’d have to pay for Q8 transportation too.

STUDENT: That’s right most of these properties are quite a long way from the college.

MAN: It just gets worse and worse. What’s the minimum contract on this type of accommodation?

STUDENT: 6 pounds and you have to pay Q9 a deposit but of course, you can stay there over the holidays.

MAN: That’s true and you’d have to provide Q10 references.

STUDENT: They want two from someone in this country.

MAN: I see that’s not a problem.

STUDENT: If you do choose this option we can’t find the property for you you’d have to go through the estate agent which manages the property for the owner.

MAN: Right thanks, well I think I’d like to see what’s available privately. Could you give me the estate agent details?

IELTS LISTENING – The Tiger Shark S61T4

 IELTS listening The Tiger Shark listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Leisure & Entertainment subject belongs to the Wildlife & Marine Life subject..

Researcher: Good morning, everyone. Today, I’m going to talk about the research project I’ve been involved in on the tiger shark. First of all, some background information. The tiger shark, also known as the leopard shark, is often thought to have got its name from its aggressive nature, but in actual fact, it’s called that because it has dark bands similar to those on a tiger’s body. It is a huge creature growing up to lengths of six and a half metres. It can be found just about everywhere throughout the world’s temperate and tropical seas, but it is most often found along the Q31 coast, rather than the open sea.

Audio Player

In terms of feeding, tiger sharks tend to be most active at night and are solitary hunters. Their preferred prey includes other sharks, turtles, seabirds and dolphins, to name but a few. However, it’s not uncommon to find Q32 garbage in its stomach. This is because it tends to feed in areas such as harbours and river inlets, where there is a lot of human activity.

Now to the project itself. We are particularly interested in some studies that had been done in the Raine Island area. Observations here have shown that there is a large population of tiger sharks present in the Q33 summer, during the turtle nesting season. However, during the winter months the sharks disappear – so we decided to do some of our own research there.

The first step was to tag a number of sharks so that we could follow their movements. To do this, we first needed to catch the sharks. Early in the morning, we baited lines with large bits of Q34 fish and set them in place. These lines were then Q35 checked every three or four hours. If no sharks were caught, the baits were replaced.

Once a shark had been caught on one of the baited hooks, it was pulled in close to the Q36 boat and secured so that we could carry out a number of brief activities to aid our research. This usually took no more than about ten minutes and was carried out as carefully as possible to minimise any stress to the shark. Each of the tiger sharks that we caught was measured and fitted with an identification tag and also a small amount of tissue was taken for genetic studies. For some larger sharks over three metres long, we also inserted into the belly a special acoustic tag capable of sending satellite signals, while on other large sharks we attached a Q37 camera to the dorsal fin, to enable us to study the behaviour and habitat use of the sharks. After this, the shark was Q38 released, and we were able to follow its movements.

So what was the purpose of all this tagging? Well, while we were already familiar with some aspects of the tiger sharks’ behaviour and food sources, what we hoped to do in this project was to see exactly what factors affected the Q39 migration patterns of tiger sharks and whether it was in fact food, weather and reproductive needs.

These are some of our findings: On February 21st a large female shark, whom we named Natalie, was attracted to our research boat at the northern tip of Raine Island and fitted with one of the satellite tags I’ve just mentioned. No transmissions were received from Natalie between April 2nd and April 29th indicating that she didn’t surface to feed during this period. The area in which she was last reported is very shallow, suggesting that she may have changed her feeding preferences during this period to focus on prey found on the sea floor.

We also made a number of other discoveries thanks to the various transmitters we used. It seems that tiger sharks move back and forth between the ocean floor and the surface quite often. This may help the sharks conserve energy while they swim, but it probably also helps them hunt, since this movement back and forth maximises its chances of not being detected by its prey until the last minute.

So far our findings have not been conclusive. However, we have gained some very interesting insights into the behaviour of tiger sharks and are now hoping to develop our research further.

IELTS LISTENING – COURSE SELECTION & DISSERTATION PLANNING S61T3

 IELTS listening COURSE SELECTION & DISSERTATION PLANNING listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Education & Academic Planning  subject..

Tutor: Hi Marco, come in.

Marco: Thanks. I’ve got a bit stuck trying to select courses for next semester. Could you help me, please?

Tutor: Of course. Sit down. First of all, most people just go for the areas of business that they’re interested in, but – even if something doesn’t look very stimulating – it’s important that you can use it Q21 once you get a job. It’s not much good choosing areas that aren’t going to be helpful later on.

Marco: Right. I want to go into management, so I’ll need to think about that. And should I start specialising in a particular area yet?

Tutor: I don’t think that’s wise, at this stage. It’s better to aim for a wide variety of subjects, especially as management covers so many possibilities. You shouldn’t be limiting your choices for later on.

Audio Player

Marco: Yes I see.

Tutor: You should also look at how the course is made up – will you have regular seminars and tutorials, for example, as well as lectures?

Marco: OK. Some of the lecturers are quite big names in their fields, aren’t they? Should I aim to go to their courses?

Tutor: Well remember that the lecturers who aren’t well-known may still be very good teachers! I’d say we have a consistently high standard of teaching in this department, so you don’t need to worry about it.

Marco: Good. Well, that’s a great help.

Tutor: Now last time we met, you mentioned doing Team Management, didn’t you?

Marco: That’s right. I’m still quite keen on the idea.

Tutor: The trouble is that because of changes in the content of various courses, Q24 Team Management overlaps with the Introduction to Management course you took in your first year. So what you’d learn from it would be too little for the amount of time you’d have to spend on it.

Marco: I’ll drop that idea, then. Have you had a chance to look at the outline I wrote for my finance dissertation? I left it in your pigeonhole last week.

Tutor: Yes. Why exactly do you want to write a dissertation, instead of taking the finance modules? It’ll be pretty demanding.

Marco: Well, I’m quite prepared to do the extra work, because I’m keen to Q25 investigate something in depth, instead of just skating across the surface. I realise that a broader knowledge base may be more useful to my career, but I’m really keen to do this.

Tutor: Right. Well, I had a quick look through your outline, and the first thing that struck me was that you’ll have to be careful how you set about it, as the way you’ve organised Q26 it seems unnecessarily complex. The data that you want to collect and analyse is Q27 potentially valuable, but you’ll need to narrow down the subject matter to make the whole thing manageable.

Marco: OK, I’ll have another look at it. I was talking to Professor Briggs about it yesterday, and I got some more ideas then. For part of the dissertation I was thinking of trying to persuade finance managers from three or four companies to let me ask them about their company finances. If not I think I’ll have to change to another topic.

Tutor: Well go ahead then. I could give you some names.

Marco: Thanks.

Tutor: Now let’s talk about practicalities. Your dissertation must be finalised by the end of May, so you should aim to finish the first draft by the end of Q28 March. Is that feasible?

Marco: Yes, it shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll need to register for the dissertation, won’t I? Is that with the Registrar’s Department?

Tutor: No, it’s internal to this department, so you just need to let the Q29 secretary know. Do that as soon as you’re sure you’re going to write the dissertation.

Marco: OK.

Tutor: Then to analyse your statistics, you’re going to need some suitable software. If I were you, I’d drop into the Q30 computer office and ask them for a copy.

Marco: Right. So if I revise my outline, can I…
