本期小站雅思君将为大家详细解读如何做好雅思听力完成句子的练习。
首先什么是听力完成句子:先看剑雅11-T3的一道完成句子题:
听力题型技巧详解:雅思听力完成句子图1
首先完成句子和填空题很相似,考生在听到内容之后,需要对听力材料中的部分或全部内容进行总结,并按照要求在相应的空格内进行作答。
题目要求有字数限制,一般是1-3个单词或数字。
需要注意的是,虽然是对相应的内容进行总结,听力完成句子的要求依然是是所听即所答。
就是答案必须是听力中出现的原词。
超过字数,缩写都不给分。
不影响句子完整性的前提下,冠词、助动词等可不写。
但前提是符合语法规范。
雅思听力完成句子经常出现的听力场景有:
1.记录事实性的信息(如名字),比如旅馆入住登记等。
2.笔记内容,比如打电话记录相关信息。
3.总结具体细节信息(如地点、时间或价格),如售后服务。
4.办事流程记录(有箭头标记),如办理相关申请手续。

关键词预判
在剑雅9-13中,基本上能看到听力完成句子的出题率很高,遇到听力完成句子题时,首先要根据出题的形式来进行答案的预测,提前做好关键词标记,因为听力只有一遍,但听力过程中各种关键信息一遍就过,把握住关键词就相当于把握住了答案。
判断词性
对考生来说,听力完成句子最大的优势是有上下文的,根据上下文判断词性,如果是主语,那么就是名词或者动名词;谓语,那么就是动词或者系动词;如果是表语,那么就是名词,副词,形容词。
这样考生在听到相关语段的时候更容易通过词性去判断答案。

答案定位
有了关键词语预判,词性的判断,考生基本能够在有限的时间里抓取到听力语段的关键信息了,在听力过程中,要注意标记出关键信号词,注意空格前后的词在听力语段中的位置,这样答案基本就出来了。
考生需要注意的是,听力会考查考生的同义词替换的能力,所以考生还需要对同义词,近义词,短语积累。
最后,小站雅思君还是要提醒各位考生,听力完成句子虽然和填空题题型很相似,但是考试技巧上还是有所区别,考生们一定要注意区分题型,加强听力完成句子的题型训练。
当然雅思听力完成句子的具体技巧训练还是需要靠各位考生自己巩固。

Bye.SECTION 2GEOFFREY: Good evening, and in this week’s edition of ‘Focus on the Arts’, Jane Hemmington is going to fill us in on what’s in store for us at this year’s Summer Festival. Over to you,Jane.JANE: Thank you, Geoffrey. This year, the Summer Festival is the biggest we’ve ever seen, so there should be something for everybody. This is the third year they’ve run it and the timing’s slightly different: for the last couple of years it’s been around the fifth to seventeenth, but this year they wanted to allow everyone enough time to recover from the first of January celebrations and they’ve put it (Q11) at the end of the month.The programme has sensational theatre, dance and also a large number of art exhibitions, but the thing the Festival is most famous for is its great street music. For today’s report though, Geoffrey, I’m looking at some of the (Q12) theatrical events that you might like to see; in particular, at this year’s theme – circuses.I’m going to tell you about two circus performances, but there are (Q13) plenty of others in the progralmme. I’ve chosen these because they represent distinct movements within circus performance. The first is the Circus Romano from Italy. As this is a travelling circus, it follows a long tradition by performing (Q14) in a marquee– which is really like a canvas portable building, usually put up in a green space or car park, rather than in a theatre or stadium.In spite of this, Circus Romano isn’t at all like the traditional circuses I grew up with. There are no animals – just very talented clowning and acrobatic routines. The show has a lot of very funny moments, especially at the beginning, but the best part is the music and (Q15) lighting. They’re magical. At forty-five dollars it’s very expensive anyway – it’s really for (Q16) adult tastes. In fact, much of it would be wasted on children – so I suggest you leave them at home.The second circus performance is Circus Electrica at the (Q17) Studio Theatre. The purists are suggesting that this isn’t a circus at all. It’s a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than the usual ones you expect in a circus. With only six performers it’s a small production, which suits the venue well – the Studio only seats about two hundred people. For my money it’s the aerial displays which are outstanding as well as the magical tricks – features which are missing from Circus Romano. An interesting feature of the show is that the performers are so young – the youngest is only fourteen. But it’s still well worth seeing: a good one for (Q18) the whole family.And finally, as it’s summer, you may wish to see some of the Festival performances that are being presented outdoors. Like the famous Mekong Water Puppet Troupe, performing in the (Q19) City Gardens this week. Now, water puppetry is amazing! It’s large puppets on long sticks, controlled by puppeteers standing waist deep in the lake. The puppets do comedy routines andthere is some terrific formation dancing. This is a fantastic show and the best moment comes at the end –seeing the puppeteers. When the troupe walks up out of the water, you get this amazing feeling. It’s really hard to believe that what you’ve been watching is lifeless wood and cloth. As an adult, I had a great time, but I did note that other older people in the audience weren’t quite as taken with it as I was. It’s a must for (Q20) young children though, and that’s the audience it’s really aimed at.Well, that’s all I’ve time for today, but I’II be back next week with more news of what’s worth seeing and what it’s best to miss.SECTION 3OFFICER: Hello. Er, I’m Dawn Matthews.STUDENT: Yes, hello. I’ve been referred to you because I’m enquiring about the refresher courses that you run. I’d like to find out a bit more about them.OFFICER: OK. Well, we run quite a few different short courses for students who are either (Q21)returning to study or studying part-time. Um, tell me about your situation. STUDENT: Well, I think that I really need some help in preparing for the coming semester, especially to build up my confidence a bit and help me study effectively because, yousee, I’ve been out in the work-force for nearly twelve years now, so it really is a longtime since I was last a student.OFFICER: Yes, it can seem like a long time, can’t it Um, well, let me start by telling you what courses we have that might suit you. Are you an undergraduate or postgraduate Artsor SciencesSTUDENT: Undergraduate, and I’m in the Business faculty.OFFICER: Right then. First of all, there’s our intensive ‘Study for Success’ seminar on (Q22) the first and second of February. It’s aimed at students like you who are uncertain aboutwhat to expect at college, and looks at a fairly wide range of approaches to universitylearning, to motivate you to begin your study and build on your own learningstrategies.STUDENT: Mm, that sounds good. What are some of the strategies that are presented OFFICER: Well, we try to cover all aspects of study. Some of the strategies in writing, for example, would be improving your planning for writing, organising your thinking andbuilding some techniques to help you (Q23) write more clearly. With reading,there’ll be sessions aimed at getting into the habit of (Q24) analysing material asyou read it, and tips to help you record and remember what you have read. It reallyis very important to begin reading confidently right from the beginning. STUDENT: Mm.OFFICER: There’s also advice on how to get the most from your lectures and practice in giving confident presentations, as well as how to prepare for exams.STUDENT: What about the motivational side of thingsOFFICER: Ah. Well, there’s a range of motivational exercises that we do to help the students feel (Q25) positive and enthusiastic about their study. The process of learning andexploring a subject can lead to a whole new way of looking at the world, and thestudy skills and techniques that you build up can be applied in all sorts of differentways.STUDENT: Actually, I… I’m very excited about the whole thing of taking up studying again but, you know, I’m a little nervous about whether I’ll manage to get everything done. Isuppose it’s the same for all mature studentsOFFICER: Of course it is. Two of the key components of the course are (Q26) time management and overcoming procrastination. People discover that, once they learnto plan their days, all the work can be accomplished and there’ll still be time forleisure.STUDENT: Is there an enrolment feeOFFICER: Well, er, oh, just a minute, let’s see . . . Ah, the cost is thirty pounds, which includes all course materials and morning tea. You have to arrange your own lunch. STUDENT: That wouldn’t be a problem. I already make sandwiches for my three kids and my wife and myself every day. I won’t have to change my routine.OFFICER: No. Now, I need to tell you that this is a very popular course and it’s essential that you (Q27) book well ahead of time. In fact, the Course Convenor tells me that thereare only five places left.STUDENT: What other course might be good for meOFFICER: There is one other that you could benefit from. It’s simply called ‘Learning Skills for University Study’ and is on (Q28) three consecutive mornings starting on a Monday,from nine to twelve, and costs twenty-five pounds. This is aimed at upgrading thestudy skills most school-leavers have and help them cope with the increaseddemands of university study. It focuses mainly on making students more responsiblefor their own success.STUDENT: What sort of things are covered in this courseOFFICER: Well, basically it’s more advanced thinking, note-taking, reading and writing strategies, but also some input about (Q29) stress management.STUDENT: I think I’d be better off (Q30) starting from the basics and looking at all the strategies, don’t youOFFICER: Yes, from what you’ve told me, I think that’s more in line with your situation. STUDENT: Alright then, um, can I book a place on the ‘Study for Success’ seminar course now OFFICER: Yes. Let me just get out a registration form and take down your details.SECTION 4We’re very grateful that the Committee has agreed that a representative for the Students’Union can present students’ suggestions about the design for the proposed new Union building. We appreciate that some of our ideas may not be feasible in the circumstances, but we do feel that it is important that the ultimate beneficiaries of the facilities should have some say in its design.If I could start by briefly explaining what steps were taken to find out student opinion and how we have arrived at conclusions. Firstly, a meeting was held in the current Union for our SU Committee to explain the options. Then we invited all students to submit written suggestions for the design, placing cards in a suggestion box. These suggestions then provided the basis for the design of a (Q31) questionnaire, which was completed by (Q32) approximately two thousand of the College students over a period of three weeks. Finally, the SU Committee collated the resultsand drew up a report. If I can just hand around a copy of that report. This presentation is essentially a summary and discussion of the key points of this report.So, in broad terms, the consensus was as follows. Firstly, regarding the crucial matter of the site, we presented the three options that you have proposed. One: in the city centre, near the Faculty of (Q33) Education; two: on the outskirts of the city, near the park, and three: out of town, near the (Q34) halls of residence. We asked students to cite reasons for and against these sites and, and there was remarkable agreement on all three. Site One was unpopular because of (Q35) traffic and parking problems. Site Two had a number of supporters, mainly because it was close to (Q36) most lecture rooms. And Site Three, out of town, near the halls of residence, was clearly the most popular because of access from living quarters. It was clear that the Union was mainly to be used after lectures. It was also felt that the large site would allow (Q37) more room for a choice of facilities.Our second area of interest was obviously the facilities: there was minimal interest in having a library on the premises, but one option seemed to be a reading room instead – more useful. We would like the current table games room to be replaced with (Q38) a small gym. And, if possible, a small swimming pool – not, of course, Olympic-sized! There was a large number of respondents in favour of a travel agent’s and insurance centre. We also request that there be the offices of the Student Counselling Centre, moving this from the Refectory. There was, however, much disagreement about whether to build a drama theatre. Just over forty per cent of the respondents were in favour, but a largish minority were strongly against it, claiming that it is (Q39) elitist and a waste of funds. Essentially the jury is out on that.Finally, given the number of unfortunate incidents in the current Union over the past few months, a strong point was repeatedly made about security. The recommendations would be at least (Q40) video surveillance and security personnel who would check Student Union cards on request. We doubt if it would be feasible in.Well, this is the summary of the views of the student population. As I say, fuller details are given in our report but I’m happy to take any questions if you have them . . .。

What specific aspects of social media and mental health do you want to focus on?Jane: I want to explore how the excessive use of social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, can contribute to feelings of loneliness and low self-esteem among teenagers.Professor Thompson: That's an interesting angle.

I also want to conduct interviews with mental health professionals to gather their insights on the issue.Professor Thompson: Good approach, Jane. It's important to gather data from both the teenagers themselves and the professionals working in the field. Have you thought about any potential limitations of your study?Jane: Yes, I'm aware that self-reporting through questionnaires may not always provide accurate information, and there may be other factors influencing teenagers' mental health besides social media. However, I'll try to address these limitations in my analysis.Professor Thompson: Excellent. I think your research has the potential to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on this topic. Keep me updated on your progress, Jane.Section 4In this section, you will hear a lecture about the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. Listen carefully and answer the questions that follow.Lecturer: Good afternoon, everyone. Today, we're going to discuss the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems. Climate change, primarily caused by human activities, is resulting in rising sea temperatures and changing oceanic conditions, which are having a profound impact on marine life.One of the major consequences of climate change is the bleaching of coral reefs. Coral reefs are extremely sensitive to changes in temperature, and when the water gets too warm, the coral expels the algae living inside them, causing them to turn white. This not only affects the coral itself but also disrupts the entire reef ecosystem, as coral reefs are home to a diverse range of marine species.Another significant impact is the acidification of the oceans. As the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the oceans absorb a large amount of this gas, resulting in a decrease in the pH level of the water. This change in acidity has harmful effects on marine organisms, particularly those with calcium carbonate shells or skeletons, such as shellfish and certain types of plankton.Furthermore, climate change is causing shifts in the distribution and behavior of marine species. Warmer waters are pushing some species towards the poles, while others are migrating to deeper waters in search of suitable conditions. This disruption in the natural balance of marine ecosystems can lead to changes in predator-prey relationships and the decline of certain species.In conclusion, climate change is posing significant threats to marine ecosystems. It is essential that we take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change on our oceans. Only by protecting our marine ecosystems can we ensure the sustainability of our planet and the diverse array of life it supports.Note: The above transcript has been created based on the description provided and the general knowledge of the topic.

剑桥雅思语法 听力精读 好句子
1a: Both actually, I am studying really hard for my exams this month, I am a high school student, but I also help my parents out. They own a restaurant and I work there as a waiter in the evening, so I don’t get a lot of free time during the week.Well, I used to play them all the time but now I am too busy studying and I don’t miss them at all.I use the internet just about every day for my studies, and I also use it to keep in touch with my friends and family. My cousin is living in Singapore at the moment and he sends me regular e-mails to let me know how much fun he is having! He is always visiting exciting places.The internet is making it much easier for people to say in touch with each other.I’d love to be able to afford to go every week because I support my local team, but students don’t generally have much money, you know. 1b:ok well, we have three swimming pools: an Olympic size 50 meter pool and a 25 meter pool, which are both outdoor, and a heated indoor pool, which is just 15 meters long but is very popular with our members in the winter.Most people start at the lower level, and then you can talk to the instructor about changing if you think it is too easy.2: For example, a few weeks ago a woman called to report a robbery at her house. It happened at five in the afternoon while she was watching the news on TV in a room at the back of the house. Her son was also at home; he was doing his homework in his bedroom when the burglar came into the house.Well, this woman used to keep the front door locked at all times, but when her son got older he often went out to visit his friends after school, so she would leave the door unlocked whenever she was at home so he could come and go easily. The burglar simply walked in through the front door, which was unlocked, and on one heard a thing.On this occasion, the burglar came in through the front door, picked up the woman’s handbag and while she was watching the TV, he emptied it out and stole her purse. The son didn’t hear anything because he was listening to music and working on his computer upstairs. Then the burglar went into the front room, opened all the cupboards and took a valuable collection of CDs. But the surprising thing is that after that he went into the kitchen and stole the roast chicken the woman had cooked for dinner.3: well, I have worked really hard for the last two weeks and I have nearly finished all the books on the reading list. I have made quite a lot of notes but they are not very structured.I find the best approach is to read only the sections that you need in order to answer the question. Y ou don’t usually have to read the whole book. I have collected plenty of information for the assignment that way. That’s good advice. I have been trying to read the whole of each book, and the more I read, the more confused I get.When I was in the library last week, I read those leaflets called “how to get the best out of the library”and “how to write assignments”. They really helped.My tutors told me it was far mare important to get enough rest than to stay up late studying. I have gone to bed early every night since then and I manage to concentrate for longer during the day, so in the end I do actually get more done.4: Mozart was born on January 27, 1756, the last of seven children. However, when Mozart was born, five of his siblings had already died in infancy or early childhood. His only surviving sibling was his sister , Nannerl, who was five years older.By the time he was six, the little boy had written a composition of his own into the notebook .And by age seven, he had taughthimself how to play the violin without ever having received a lesson.By the time he was 17,Mozart’s reputation had already begun to spread through Europe and his family were richer than they had ever been before.5: It is more luxurious than last year’s camping trip, so I think everyone will be happy with it.6: not really, although I always make sure I prepare well. I always practice in front of a mirror to reduce my pressure. By the time I give the talk I will have rehearsed it at least ten times. Practicing like that makes me feel confident.7: the room might be on the small side but the windows are very big so the natural light is really nice. Few rooms have such good natural light.8a: every citizen will have access to precise information about changes in the environment including global warming, ozone depletion and climate change.8b: more and more people are joining local gyms or buying home-exercise machines. Well, people in developed countries are not only eating more but are also doing less exercise. Increased technology has not helped. The car and other such machines designed to help reduce our work load are as much to blame as deep-fried fast food.10: my first piece of advice is to work hard on your research before you go if you want to make your trip enjoyable and rewarding. I plan my trips very carefully for at least three months before I leave, reading about the places I am going to visit on the internet and in books.If you’re interested in seeing wil dlife I recommend travelling in the more remote areas of the country. I was amazed at the variety of wonderful animals which I saw on my trip and the most incredible colourful birds with vivid blue and green feathers. I also saw several poisonous spiders, although I have to say that I found the insects rather frightening. 11: the Olympics is probably the most exciting event in the sports calendar. It’s one of the few opportunities we get to see some of the best athletes in the world competing against each other.Not only that, a second study proved that older athletes can achieve the same degree of physical improvement as those in their twenties and thirties. In other words, they are just as likely to achieve their peak fitness as younger athletes.13b:well, what these people lacked in technology they certainly made up for in practical skills. I carried out some experiments using basic techniques to try to find out what people without any chemical knowledge might have observed. And I was able to demonstrate that they would indeed have been able to make a soap-like substance that is not dissimilar to the one we know today.14: The bus system is a bit more complicated because there are normal double decker buses but there are also smaller buses called “public light buses”. It is so cheap and you get the best view of the harbour-you really have to see it to believe it. Y ou should always carry plenty of loose change though for the buses and the ferries.15c: I am going to talk about renewable energy sources, and specifically solar towers. I am not sure how much you already know about solar towers16: I have always been interested in working with animals and during my last year at school I decided to do an animal management course. Well, we get a lot of practical experience and there is also a lot of theory, but not so much that it’s boring. I want to learn to manage the animals and the business side of it. The course is only three days a week, so I have already started working part-time at a pet shop.17: it is not just the initial cost of the car youhave to consider, you know. If you own a car, you also have to pay for insurance and road tax every year and then there is the petrol. 18: that is just the thing. Nearly all of my wages are going on the car. If I would waited a bit before buying the mobile phone , I’d have managed to save quite a bit by now. I might even have gone on that college trip last week, it sounded great.19a: that’s a common worry but you will be taught how to deal with those things by the tutors on the course. In the end, of course, you have to take responsibility for what happens in your classroom, but you will be much better able to cope after training.21:I am doing a survey about people’shopping habits for a university assignment.I always do it on my own. If I go with the others, they always put too many things in the trolley and it costs me a fortune.I always do the food shopping on Wednesday and there are fewer people in the supermarket on Thursday than on Friday.Well, what I like is being able to see the products and walking around the shop, and maybe buying things that aren’t on my shopping list.22: Well, the students’ union is a group which represents your views to the university.The union is run by students, seven students to be precise, who are called the executive committee.The executive committee is chosen by the students through an election process.Well, the students’union is responsible for many of the extra facilities around the campus that are not related to study. We run the restaurants and entertainment and the sports facilities, which are said to be among the best in the country. So if you think any of these facilities need improving around the campus, or if there are other services you think we need to provide, then please come to one of our union meetings and make a suggestion. 23: because it is beneficial to the development of the brain, in many cultures fish is known as a “brain food”24: I think that’s a good point. But, unfortunately schools do seem to be more overcrowded and less well-funded these days and I can see the advantages of home education in terms of the quality of education.。
雅思听力完成句子题型技巧
雅思听力完成句子题型技巧雅思听力完成句子题型技巧分析认为,在进行句子填空题的读题时,空前后两边相邻的一些关键信息像介词,连词,动词等是我们着重要关注的,比如and, or, either… or …, both … and …, 等,这些词左右两边的语法结构应该保持一致。
“二合一转述”之“并列关系转述”并列连词的出现尤为关键,是因为“二合一”转述是雅思听力中最高频的含义转述方式之一,在题目中以and连接为主要形式之一,不管是在平时练习还是考试都需要予以重视。
观察一些例子:【原创范例】(1)There are high-speed trains in Japan and ……….(2)Float records changes in salinity and ……….(3)Realists focused on events that were ……… and typical rather than extraordinary.(4)Some governments encourage the new industry by ………. and offering extra tax breaks.【范例剖析】看过这四个例子会发现:第1题中,and左边是“Japan”,因此其右应当是一个“国家”或“地区”。
第2题and左边是名词“salinity”那么右边空同样也是“名词”。
而第3题空右方“typical”是形容词,根据语法结构此处同样是“形容词”。
第4题and左边有by,而右边是offering extra tax breaks,因此我们完全可以推断此处应填“动名词词组”。
【范例原文】(1) These kind of trains can be found not only in Japan but also in Italy.(2) It collects all sorts of data, most importantly variations in salinity –that’s salt levels - and thechanges in temperature.(3) However, as to the Realists, it seems that more emphasis was put on ordinary and typical events, rather than extraordinary or exotic.(4) Some governments subsidize this technology. While in some countries, you do not have to pay as much tax on the purchase of a hybrid car as you would have to on a regular car. This is generally called a tax break【范例答案】(1) Italy(2) temperature或 changes in temperature(3) ordinary(4) subsidizing (the) technology“二合一转述”之“因果关系转述”以上是二合一转述中的“并列”转述。

解析雅思听力六大常见题型
解析雅思听力六大常见题型在雅思听力备考的过程中,首先要了解常考题型的特点以及解题方法,这对提高雅思听力备考效率非常关键。
雅思听力考试的题型常见的大概有六种,那么,雅思听力6大题型如何应对呢?下面就具体为大家介绍雅思听力六大常考题型及解题技巧,希望对大家的雅思听力备考有帮助。
题型一完成填表/记笔记/流程图/总结考生需对听力材料的要点进行填空。
在除总结以外的其他情况下,笔记形式的答案可以被接受为正确答案,也就是说在不影响语义的情况下冠词、助动词等可以省略。
总结类型的题目使用的是互相连接的句子,因此必须符合语法的标准。
考生需要根据听力材料找到对应表格/笔记等中空缺的单词。
在这种情况下,考生不能以任何方式改变听力材料中所出现的单词,并需按照题目指示中规定的字数作答。
这种题型可能出现的形式有:1.表格:通常用来记录事实性的信息(如名字)。
2.一组笔记:用来总结任何形式的信息,采用相应的格式来表示不同内容之间的关系。
3.表格:用来总结分类清晰的信息(如地点、时间或价格)。
4.流程表:用来总结阶段清晰的信息,并用箭头表示过程的顺序。
5.总结:用来总结完整信息。
这种题型在雅思听力考试中出现频率非常高,单就剑9真题中几乎每套真题都出现两三道这样的的题型。
遇到这类题目时,首先可以根据标题对整体内容有一个根本的把握和心理预测,然后再根据表格、笔记或流程图中空格外的信息对要填的内容进行预测。
听的时候只要能把握住主要信息,解题时就根本没有多大问题。
题型二选择题题目可能已经给出句子的前半局部,考生需在选项中选择一个最正确答案完成这个句子。
题目也可能是一个完整的问题,考生需在选项中选择一个最正确的答案作答。
考生需要从三个可供选择的答案A、B、或C选择一个最正确的答案或句子结尾。
选择题这种题型中国考生都比拟熟悉,所以可能对于考生来说算是相比照拟容易备考及应试的一种题型。
但是要记住切忌大意,因为雅思考试测试的是学生的英语应用能力,所以考试内容的广度及深度都要远远高于国内其他类英语考试。

剑桥雅思听力原文---------------------------------------T e x t 1 Section 1Man: Hello,this is Land Transport information at toronto Airport.Woman: Oh,good morning,I’m flying to toronto Airportnext week, and I need to get to a town called um,Milton.Cpould you tell me how I canget there?Man: Milton,did you say? Let me see. I think that’s about 150 miles south-west of here .In fact it’s 147 miles to be exact, so it’ll take you at least –say ,three to four hours by road.the Greyhound.Woman:Oh, that doesn’t sound too bad.especially if it*ll take me straight to the hotel.Man:But you do need to reserve a seat.Woman:OK. Is it possible to make a booking right now? Through you?Man:Sure.Man: OK.I just have to fill this form out for you. So what date do you want to book this for? Woman:The 16th of Octobler –oh,no,sorry.that’s my departure date. I arrive on the 17th, so book it for then,please.Man: So, That’s the Toronto Airport Shuttle to Milton.And this is for just one person or…? Woman: yes, just me, please.Man:Right. And you said your excepted time of arrival was 11:30? So if I book your Shuttle for after 12:00-let’s say, 12:30 that should give you plenty of time to, you know, collect your baggage maybe grab a coffee?Woman:Yeah, that sounds fine, as long as we land on time!Man: Well,we’ll take you flight details so you don’t need to warry too much about that. Now. what about the fare? What sort of ticket do you want? One way or…?Woman:Yes,that’ll be fine, provided I can book the return trip once I’m there.Man:No problem – just allow a couple of days in advanced to make sure you get a seat. And what’s you name, please?Woman:Janet, Janet Thomson.Man:Is that Thompson spelt with a “p”?.in the We’ve upgraded all these Spanish sites, and improved them considerably from their original three-star ratingWe believe our holidays offer superb facilities for the whole family. Parents who want their children to be fully occupied for all or part of the day can take advantage of our children’s activities. These are organised by our well-qualified and enthusiastic staff. Each day kicks off a sports match, perhaps football, or volleyball, followed by an hour of drama for everyone. This may include singing or dancing, mime or other activities. In the afternoon, there’s a different art activity for each day of the week including a poster competition or model making. What’s m ore, our sites are truly child-friendly, and, with this in mind, we operate a no-noise rule in theevenings. Children’s evening activities usually finish at 9:30, or occasionally 10, and from 10:30 holiday-makers are expected to be quiet in the areas where there are tents.We want nothing to go wrong on a PS Camping holiday, but if it does, we also want all customers to be insured. If you haven’t organised an annual insurance policy of your own you’ll need to take out the low-cost cover we offer and we require that you arrange this when you take your holiday reservation.There are many advantages to choosing PS Camping, and to recommending it to others. As a regular customer. You’ll be kept informed of special offers. And your friends can benefit from ten per cent off their holiday, or book a luxury tent for the price of a standard one. In return, we’ll send you a thank-you present, which you can choose from a list of high-quality items.When it comes to our tents, these are equipped to the highest standard. We really do think ofin Philip:Yes, I did. On the positive side, exposure to such diversity helps encourage creativity which is generally an asset to a company. But unfortunately individual difference are also the rootof conflict between staff and they can lead to difficulties for management, which can sometimes be serious.**********************************************Tutor:Thanks,philip. So now I guess the two main things to remember here are to identify individual talent and then to utilize it. So Janice, you were looking at identifying different talents in workers Do you think this is easy for managers to do?Janice:Well,currently teamwork is in fashion in the workplace and in my opinion the importance of the individual is generally neglected. What managers should be targeting is those employees who can take the lead in a situation and are not afraid to accept the idea of responsibility.Tutor:That’s true. Janice but unfortunately many managers think the entire notion of encouraging individuality amongst their staff is far too hard.Janice:Yes. That may be true but I think one of the most important tasks of managers is to consider the needs of the individual on one hand and group co-operation and conformity on the other. It requires creative thinking on the part of management to avoid tension.Tutor:So Janice, what kind of people do you think companies should be looking for?Janice Well, it has to start from the very beginning when companies are looking for new employees. When the personal department is choosing between applicants they need to look for someone who’s broken the mould and can think for themselves. Instead, people making these decisions often ues a range of psychological tests to see if a person is a problem solver, or will do as they’re told. I’m not convinced these qualities are actually the most important.This is the first seninar in preparation for our archaeological fieldwork in Namibia, we are fantastically luck to have received partial research funding for this trip from our Institute, so I shall expect 200% attention and participation from you all. First in this seminar, I’m going to give a brief introduction to contemporary research on rock art, and in the seco nd part I’m going to give you some do’s and don’ts for our fieldwork trip in April – so please listen very carefully.I’m first going to focus on the interpretation of rock art in Namibia, we are very fortunate to be going to an area where you can find some of the most important sites in the entire world. And I hope to show you how easy it is foe everyone to make mistakes in looking at cultures which are different from our pwn – the first and most important lesson we have to learn.In Namibia there are both paintings and engraving –that’s where the surface of the rock is cut out. Many of the engravings show footprints of animals and most scholars used to think that the purpose of these was simple and obvious. This r ock art was like a school book with picture to teach children about tracks whick belonged to which animal – giraffe, lion and so on.But there were some mysteries. First, when you look at a typical Namibian painting or engraving, you see the tracks are repeated, there are dozens of tracks for t he same animal. You’d expect just one clear illustration if the reason – the aim – was to teach tracking.Now there were two more problem, why are some of the engraving of animals very accurate as you’d expect – all clearly identifiable- and others quite unrealisticAnd another mystery – some of these unrealistic animals – that*s in the engravings – seem to be half human. Some, for example, have got human faces, Many reaearchers now think that theseAnd lastly please don’t even move rocks or branches to take photographs – you should leave the site intace –I’m sure I can rely on you to do that..Well,That’s about all I want to say before today’s first discussion, but if you have any question please ask them now –and don’t forget you’ll find some fascinating information aboutworld-wide sites on the Internet. Right, first question then?Text 2Section 1Woman: Hello… motor insurance department …Man: Oh hello… I’d like to ask about insurance for my car.Woman: Yes, of course. I’ll just take a few details. What’s your name?Man: Patrick Jones.Woman: And your addrss?Man: It’s 27 Bank Road.Woman: 27 Bank Road. Is that in Greendale?Man: Yes.Woman: And what’s your daytime phone number?Man: My work number is 730453.Woman: And could ask what your occupation is?Man: Dentist.Woman: OK… now a few details about your car… What size is the engine?Man: It’s a Hewton Sable.Woman: Social use (murmuring). Will you be using it to travel to work?Man: Yes… sometimes.Woman: …Anything else?Man: No. that’s it…Woman: And finally… when would you like to start the insurance?Man: I’ll need it from the 31st of January.Woman: Right… Mr Jones… I’m getting a couple of quotes coming up on the computer now… and the best bet looks like being with a company called Red Flag. Man: Yeah.Woman: And that comes out at $540 per year…Man: Well … that seems OK… it’s quite a bit lower than I’ve been paying up to now…Woman: Great… so would you like me to go ahead with that?Man: Sure… why not?Woman: How would you like to pay?Section 2Thank you for calling the Tourist Line. There are many different ways of getting round the city and we’d like to suggest some you may not have thought of.How about a city trip by boat? Thare are four main stopping points – from west to east: atop A Green Banks, stop B City Bridge, stop C Roman Landing and atop D Newtown.You can find the main booking office at stop A.The first boat leaves at 8 a.m. and the last one at 6:30 p.m. There are also many attractions youInterviewer: Now my first question is about the choice of location for the centre. Why Christchurch? Was it because of the climate?Doctor: Well, actually New Zealand is the second closest country to Antarctica and Christchurch isoften used on Antarctic expeditions.Interviewer: Right. So it’s because of where we are… coupled with our historical role. So tell us – what is the main purpose of the centre?Doctor: Well…we have two complementary roles. One is as a scientific base for expeditions and research and the other is as an information centre.Interviewer: Tell ue something about the role as a scientific base.Doctor: We’re able to provide information about what scientists should take with them to the South Pole – for example, the centre contains a clothing warehouse where expeditions are supplied with suitable clothing for the extreme conditions.Interviewer: I suppose you need a bit more than your normal winter coat!Doctor: yes, exactly and then there’s also the specialist library and mapping services. Interviewer: Right. And which countries are actually located at the centre?Doctor: Well…the centre houses research programmes for New Zealand, for The United States as well as for Italy…there*re even a US post office at the American airforce base here. Interviewer: Really?And what does the v isitor’s centre offer?Doctor: Well, since very few people will ever experience the Antarctic first hand, the visitors* centre aims to recreate the atmosphere of Antarctica. There’s a mock camp site where you canDoctor: Well, as far back as the 19th century, when eleven nations organised an international event.Interviewer: When was that exactly?Doctor: In 1870. And it was called the Polar Research Metting. And then, Not long after that, they organised something called the First International Polar Year.Interviewer: And that took place when exactly?Doctor: Over two years from 1882 to 1883. But it wasn’t until the 1950s that the idea of an international treaty was proposed. And in 1959 the Treaty was actually signed. Interviewer: What do you see as the main achievements of the treaty?Doctor: Well, firstly it means that the continent is reserved for peaceful use.Interviewer: That’s Article a, isn’t it?Doctor: Yes…Interviewer: That’s impor tant since the territory belongs to everyone.DOCTOR: yes but not as important as Article 5, which prohibits any nuclear explosions or waste disposal.Interviewer: Which is marvellous. Well, I’m afraid we’re going to have to stop there because I’m afraid w e’ve run out of time. Thanks for coming along today and telling us all about the centre and its work.Section 4My topic is handedness – whether in different sports it is better to be left – or right-sided or whether a more balanced approach is more succes sful .I’m left-handed myself and I actually–STUDENT:Oh,good morning ,Is this…er… room number 26?AGENT:Yes,that's rightSTUDENT:So ls this the Student Job Centre?AGENT:It certainly is.How can I help you?STUDENT:Well,actually I’m looking for a job -a part-time Job, Do you haveanything available at the moment?AGENT:Ah.Yes… Are you a registered student?I`m afraid this service isonly available to full-time studentsSTUDENT:Yes… I am I'm doing a degree in Business Studies.Here's mystudent cardAGENT:Which year are you in?STUDENT:Well… I've been at uni for four years but I'm in the Third Yearbecause I took last year off.AGENT:Right… well,let's just have a look at what positions are available at The moment There's a Job working at the reception desk at the SportsCentre,for three evenings a week that's Wednesdays ,Thursdays andFridays.STUDENT:That sounds 1ike fun but unfortunately I have evening lectures- sothat's not possible ,I’m afraid Is th ere anything during the day? AGENT:OK.That's no good then .Um .What about cleaning ? There's aposition for a cleaner at the Child Care Centre.thing.STUDENT:Well.I speak some JapaneseAGENT:Right I’ll make a note of that Now- let's see what else is availableWhat do you think of administrative work? There is a position for anOffice Assistant at the English Language CentreSTUDENT:That sounds interesting.AGENT:It's for 3 days a week—Monday , Friday and Saturday mornings.Interested?STUDENT:Mmm, I was hoping to have Saturdays free . But I need the work so… can you tell me what the job Involves?AGENT:Yes, sure. It says here that you'll be required to deal with studentenquiries and answer the phone.STUDENT:I’m su re I can handle all that without a problemAGENT:Great Well,would you like me to arrange an interview for you ? Say,Friday morning,around ten?STUDENT:Could we make it a bit later ? Unfortunately , I've got something to doat ten、Would that be OK?AGENT:Not a problem , How about eleven thirty ? Hope it works out for youAnitaSTUDENT:Me too . And thanks for all your help.However , you will need to be extremely fityou’re interested in coming with us . You have plenty of time to get into shape.You will be sleeping in tents so you must have quite a bit of equipment with you but you will be helpedby local assistants .Your bedding and so forth will be carded by them . We ask that you only walk with a small rucksack with needs for the day .I don’t think I've really said enough about the mar vell ous area you’ll be walking in . Let's havea look at some of the sights you’11 be seeing Apart from these spectacular snow-covered peaks and valleys, there are marvellous historic villages.The area has been famous for centuries for making beautiful carpets , although recently there has been a trend to moveinto weaving blankets and wood carving The people are extremely friendly and welcoming . We deliberately keep the parties small in size to minimize disruption to people and landscape .I hope that there are still some people interested . I will be distributing leaflets at the end where you call find out more information,but just for the moment I’ll outline the itinerary, the main highpoints of the holiday.Obviously , you’ll start by flying out to Kishba ,the capital city , on Day One.After a couple of days to acclimatize yourself , you’ll start the trek on Day Three walking through the enormous Katiba Forest which will take the whole of the day.Day Four takes us higher up,going through the foothills past a number of villages and visiting a school for the disabled in Sohan . Then you have a rest day ,that's Day Five ,before going to the spectacular Kumi Temple with twelfth-century carvings ,set in a small forest bya lake and that's Day Six,the highlight for many.We stay near there for Day Seven because then comes the hardest day ,walking through very mountainous country ,but culminating in a swim in the Parteh Falls , This is the highest waterfall in the region . Day Nine is much easier,whole kilometres down in the water.It stays at this depth for about 10days and is carried around by the currents which operate in the oceanat this level . During this time it's possible for it to cover quite largedistances but the average is fifty kilometresSTUDENT 2:So what is it actually recording ?SIMON:Well at this stage nothing.but as it rises to the surface it collects allsorts of data,most importantly variations in salinity ,that's salt levelsand the changes In temperature,a bit like underwater weather balloons”then when it gets back to the surface all the data it's collected isbeamed up to the satellite . After about five hours on the surface thefloat automatically sinks , beginning the whole process again STUDENT 1:What happens to the data?SIMON:Well the information Is transferred direct to onshore meteorological stations...like our one in Hobart...and within four hours thefindings can be on computers and they can be mapped and analysed.STUDENT 2:You say you're building models of the world's ocean systems buthow're they going to be used,and more importantly , when? SIMON:Some of the data has already helped in completing projects . Forexample,our understanding of the underlying causes of El Niňoevents is being confirmed by float data Another way we’re using floatdata is to help us to understand the mechanics of climate change,likeSECTION 4Good morning everyone . Today's lecture forms part of the Hospitality and Tourism module Last week 1 looked at the economy end of the hotel business;this week I'm going to discuss The luxury end of the market . Let's consider the following scenario. . .You wake up in the middle of the night in a strange hotel miles away from home , disoriented most probably from jet lag,when even the most expensive surroundings can seem empty and dispiriting . You have paid a great deal of money to stay in this first—class hotel with its contemporary technology ,but according to recent research carried out by an international travel and public relations company , all is not well . The research suggests that even the mostopulent,luxurious hotels seem to have underestimated the most basic needs of their customers-be they travelling for work or pleasure:the need to feel at home in surroundings which are both familiar and inviting .Do these findings , however apply only to hotels situated in particular areas ?
