This is the IELTS listening test you will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear there will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work all the recordings will be played once

Only the test is in four parts at the end end of the test you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet now turn to part one part one you will hear a man asking for information about language classes over the

Phone first you have some time to look at questions 1 to four now we shall begin you should answer the question as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4 good morning Globe trott’s Language

School how may I help you yes I was wondering if you could give me some information on language classes certainly what language are you interested in studying well that’s the thing I’m interested in learning Japanese but I’d also like to improve my Chinese I don’t know which to study

Right now maybe the class schedule will help you decide did you want to study in the morning afternoon or evening I work in the evenings so mornings or afternoons would be best then that decides it for you we offer an advanced Chinese class but it meets on Wednesday

And Friday evenings I couldn’t do that when do the Japanese classes meet we have beginning Japanese on Tuesday and Thursday morning no wait that’s intermediate Japanese which level do you want Advanced uh no beginning definitely I know some Chinese and some French but I’m a real beginner

With Japanese well then are you free Monday Wednesday and Friday mornings that’s when the beginning Japanese classes meet we also have intermediate French on Friday mornings I could do those mornings but I’d prefer afternoon don’t you have anything in the afternoon we have intermediate Japanese class on Wednesday and Friday afternoons I really

Need a beginner class so I’ll take the morning Japanese class could you give me an idea of the cost what would be the tuition for the Japanese class before you have the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10

Now now listen and answer questions 5 to 10 the beginning level classes made three times a week so they cost a bit more than the other levels for a 6 we course the cost would be $575 that’s a bit steep if it’s hard for you to pay that much you could sign up

For Just 4 weeks of class and pay $410 or you could pay for one week at a time at $125 $5 a week that comes out to be much more expensive once you add up all the weeks that’s true you can save money by registering for two levels

Together for example pay for your beginning and intermediate classes now and you’ll get 12 weeks of class for just $1,050 that’s not a bad deal but I can’t come up with that much money at once I’ll just pay for the six week course fine that class begins next week so you

You need to register right away can’t I register over the phone no I’m sorry we don’t take phone registrations what you’ll need to do is visit the school office today or tomorrow bring a check for the tuition and a photo ID is that all yes we’ll give you a registration

Form to complete or you can save time by visiting our website and downloading the form there complete it and bring it into the office with your check great I’ll start by this afternoon fine when you arrive ask for Mr Lindsay he’s in charge of student registration I’m sorry Mr who

Information about a shopping district first you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15 as you listen to the first part of the talk answer questions 11 to 15 this afternoon afternoon we’ll visit the city’s shopping district several blocks in the area are closed to car

Traffic and I know you’ll enjoy walking around there I’d like to give you an overview of the district now since you’ll be on your own once we get there you’ll see on this map here that the shopping district consists of two streets Pear Street which runs north and

South and Cherry Street which crosses Pear Street right here let’s start our tour here on Pear Street where the star is this star marks the Harbor View bookstore it’s very popular among locals as well as tourists you can buy a range of books of local interest as well as a variety of

Magazines and newspapers it’s directly across the street from the city library which is also worth a visit it’s in one of the oldest buildings in the city and contains among other things an interesting collection of rare books now moving up pear from the bookstore toward Cherry the next

Building on the left is the pear Cafe you’ll notice it’s right on the corner of pear and Cherry streets it’s a great place to relax while enjoying a Del delicious cup of coffee or tea you can talk with friends or read quietly they have a variety of books and magazines

Available from the windows of the cafe you can look right across Cherry Street for a lovely view of City Gardens it’s a rather small garden but it contains a variety of exotic plants and flowers let’s leave the cafe and cross Pear Street on the opposite corner we’re at Caldwell’s clothing store which you

Might also want to visit they sell both men’s and women’s Fashions from countries around the world continuing down Cherry Street the next building on the right after Caldwell’s is the souvenir shop stop in here to get maps and books about the local area as well as t-shirts and

Postcards with pictures of the city now we cross Cherry Street and we’re at the art gallery one building down from the corner here you can see and of course purchase many fine paintings and sculptures by local artists let’s keep going down Cherry Street toward the harbor on the left

Right after the gallery is Harbor Park Park it’s a lovely place and it’s certainly worth spending some time there before you hear the rest of the talk you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20 now listen and answer questions 16 to 20 Harbor Park was built on land donated

To the City by Captain Jones a lifelong resident of this city Captain Jones designed the park himself and it was built in 1876 exactly in the center of the park a statue of Captain Jones was erected and it’s still standing there today it shows Captain Jones on the bow of his

Ship after viewing the statue you can follow the path that goes through the woods just behind it will lead you to a lovely Garden in the middle of which is a fountain this is a nice place to enjoy a few Quiet Moments if you still feel like walking

Continue on to the far end of the garden there you’ll find a wooden staircase which will take you down to the harbor you might enjoy the view of the boats from there there’s also a walking path along the water which will eventually bring you back up to Cherry Street you

Can see that there’s plenty to do in this part of the city the bus leaves at 1:30 that is the end of part two you now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two part three you will hear a conversation between a university student and a librarian about using the city

Archives first you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24 for as you listen to the first part of the conversation answer questions 21 to 24 hello I was wondering if you could give me some information about using the archives I’d be happy to are you a

Resident of the city actually I live just out outside the city but I study at the University downtown that’s fine all you need to do is show you University identification card and you can use the archives at no charge as long as your ID card is current of course yes it’s valid

So I don’t have to pay anything no City residents pay an annual fee but students can use the archives for free everyone else needs to get special permission from the director but that doesn’t apply to you of course oh good I was also wondering about the schedule I have

Classes every day Monday through Friday and I also have a part-time job so I could really only use the archives on weekends that’s not a problem at all we’re open all weekend actually the only day we’re closed is Monday so you can come any day Tuesday through Sunday are

You open in the evenings yes we’re open from 9:30 in the morning until 8:30 in the evening that will fit my schedule well before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30 now listen and answer questions 25 to

30 is there something else I can help you with yes one thing I’ll be needing to see for one of my class projects is old photographs do you have photographs of the city in the 19th century that I could look at yes we store all the photographs in the basement those stairs

Over there will take you down to the photography collection just tell the librarian there what you’re interested in and he’ll help you those would be 19th century photographs yes the entire collection is there now if you’re interested in seeing documents from the 19th century those are right here on the

Ground floor I would like to see some of those documents does that collection include newspapers too no all the newspapers from the earliest ones in the 18th century up to the current time are on the second floor here let me just give you this map

Of the archives and your be able to find whatever it is you need thank you oh I see you have a whole room devoted to Maps yes on the third floor that’s great because one thing I need to do is look at how the city has developed over time

I’m sure you’ll find a lot of helpful information there of course some of the maps are several centuries old so generally visitors are only allowed to see photographic reproductions of them that shouldn’t be a problem what’s this on the fourth floor Ogden’s Woolen Mill as I’m sure you know Ogden’s

Woolen Mill was the major entity responsible for the growth of the city in the 19th century the Ogden gave money for the archives to devote an entire flaw to information about the history of the mill will I be able to find information about the Ogden family there photographs personal papers things like that

Probably the family photographs are stored downstairs in the photography collection the personal papers would be on the fifth floor where we keep all the personal papers of famous residents of our city thank you so much for your help I’ll be able to do a lot of my research

Here that is the end of part three you now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three part four you will hear a lecture about wind energy first you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 with the rising cost of fossil fuels

There’s a great deal of Interest these days in developing alternative sources of energy today I’d like to talk about one of these wind power in the past couple of decades there’s been an upsurge of interest in using the wind as a source of energy but the idea isn’t

New at all people have been harnessing the power of the wind for centuries ever since ancient peoples first used sailboats in ancient China Farmers used a rudimentary sort of windmill to pump water wind power was used in other parts of the ancient world as well in Persia for example Farmers used wind powerered

Mills to grind their grain during the Middle Ages in the Netherlands people went back to the ancient idea of using the power of the wind to move water they used windmills to drain Lakes thereby creating more land for farming at present people around the world are using the

Wind to generate electricity some old methods some new is this the solution to our modern energy problems well as with anything there are both advantages and disadvantages to using wind power let’s take a look at some of the reasons to use wind power one of the biggest problems with using

Fuels such as oil and coal is pollution wind power on the the other hand is clean it causes no pollution and therefore doesn’t contribute to global warming another great advantage of wind power is that it’s a renewable resource oil and coal reserves are limited but will never run out of wind

Economics is another reason to use wind power using the wind to generate electricity costs less much less than running other types of generators in addition since wind turbines don’t take up much land the land around them can be used for other purposes such as farming there are disadvantages however

Even though generating electricity with wind is relatively inexpensive the technology isn’t cheap the initial costs of setting up wind turbines can be quite High another issue is reliability wind doesn’t blow at a constant strength therefore at times s a lot of electricity can be produced while at others there may be little or

None wind turbines usually have to be located in rural areas where the land is open their distance from cities where the most electricity is needed is another issue although wind is considered to be a clean source of energy wind turbines cause their own sort of pollution wind turbines are usually

Placed in high open areas where they’re easy to be seen rural residents often feel that the beautiful local scenery is spoiled by the sight of the wind turbines in addition wind turbines aren’t quiet in fact one wind turbine can produce as much noise as a car traveling at highway

Speeds that is the end of part four you now have one minute to check your answers to part four that is the end of the listening test in the I Els test you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet
