+IELTS 15.
+
+2
+00:00:03,660 --> 00:00:08,940
+Published by Cambridge University Press and Cambridge Assessment, English, 2020.
+
+3
+00:00:10,390 --> 00:00:12,390
+This recording is Copyright.
+
+4
+00:00:13,890 --> 00:00:14,790
+Test 1
+
+5
+00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:18,830
+This is the IELTS listening test.
+
+6
+00:00:20,190 --> 00:00:26,470
+You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
+
+7
+00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,580
+There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
+
+8
+00:00:36,030 --> 00:00:39,260
+All the recordings will be played once only.
+
+9
+00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:42,910
+The test is in four parts.
+
+10
+00:00:44,410 --> 00:00:50,690
+At the end of the test you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
+
+11
+00:00:52,130 --> 00:00:54,070
+Not turn to part one.
+
+12
+00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:00,050
+Part one
+
+13
+00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:06,810
+You will hear a woman phoning a friend to get information about a job agency.
+
+14
+00:01:08,190 --> 00:01:12,140
+First, you have some time to look at questions one to five.
+
+15
+00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:41,730
+Now listen carefully and answer questions one to five.
+
+16
+00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:54,230
+Hello William, this is Amber. You said to phone if I wanted to get more information about the job agency you mentioned.
+
+17
+00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:08,250
+Is now a good time? Hi Amber. Yes fine, so the agency I was talking about is called Bankside , based in Docklands. I can tell you the address now. 497 East side.
+
+18
+00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:21,380
+OK thanks, so is there anyone in particular I should speak to there? The agent I always deal with is called Becky Jamieson. Let me write that down Becky.
+
+19
+00:02:21,930 --> 00:02:29,080
+Jamieson, Jamieson
+
+20
+00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,790
+Do you have her direct line? Yes, it's in my contacts somewhere.
+
+21
+00:02:35,730 --> 00:02:49,780
+Right here we are, 07866510333, I wouldn't call her until the afternoon if I were you. She's always really busy in the morning, trying to fill last minute vacancies.
+
+22
+00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:55,540
+She's really helpful and friendly, so I'm sure it would be worth getting in touch with her for an informal chat.
+
+23
+00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,640
+It's mainly clerical and admin jobs they do with, isn't it?
+
+24
+00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:05,560
+That's right, I know you're hoping to find a full time job in the media eventually,
+
+25
+00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:13,340
+but Becky mostly recruits temporary staff for the finance sector, which will look good on your CV and generally pays better too.
+
+26
+00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,820
+Yeah, I'm just a bit worried because I don't have much office experience.
+
+27
+00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:26,490
+I wouldn't worry. They'll probably start you with a receptionist or something like that. So what's important for that kind of job?
+
+28
+00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:35,020
+Isn't so much having business skills or knowing lots of different computer systems, it's communication that really matters, so you'd be fine there, 
+
+29
+00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:39,640
+and you'll pick up office skills really quickly on the job. It's not that complicated.
+
+30
+00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,420
+OK, good.
+
+31
+00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:50,200
+So how long do people generally need temporary staff for? It would be great if I could get something lasting at least a month.
+
+32
+00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,980
+That shouldn't be too difficult,
+
+33
+00:03:52,220 --> 00:03:56,660
+but you're more likely to be offered something for a week at first, which might get extended.
+
+34
+00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:59,620
+It's unusual to be sent somewhere for just a day or two.
+
+35
+00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:06,620
+Right, I've heard the pay isn't too bad, better than working in a shop or a restaurant.
+
+36
+00:04:06,660 --> 00:04:11,580
+Oh, yes, definitely. The hourly rate is about 10 pounds, 11 if you're lucky.
+
+37
+00:04:11,860 --> 00:04:17,700
+That's pretty good. I was only expecting to get 8 or £9 an hour.
+
+38
+00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:27,200
+Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
+
+39
+00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,060
+Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
+
+40
+00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:02,240
+Do you want me to tell you anything about the registration process?
+
+41
+00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,200
+Yes, please. I know you have to have an interview.
+
+42
+00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,960
+The interview usually takes about an hour, and you should arrange that about a week in advance.
+
+43
+00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:15,200
+I suppose I should dress smartly if it's for office work.
+
+44
+00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:22,440
+I can probably borrow a suit from mum. Good idea. It's better to look too smart than two casual.
+
+45
+00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:27,940
+Will I need to bring copies of my exam certificates or anything like that?
+
+46
+00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,280
+No, they don't need to see those. I don't think.
+
+47
+00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:34,600
+what about my passport? Oh yes, they will ask to see that.
+
+48
+00:05:34,820 --> 00:05:43,840
+OK, I wouldn't get stressed about the interview though. It's just a chance for them to build a relationship with you, so they can try and match you to a job which you'll like.
+
+49
+00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:55,480
+So there are questions about personality that they always ask candidates fairly basic ones,and they probably won't ask anything too difficult, like, what your plans are for the future.
+
+50
+00:05:55,500 --> 00:06:01,360
+Hope not. Anyway, there are lots of benefits to using an agency.
+
+51
+00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:08,240
+For example, the interview will be useful, because they'll give you feedback on your performance so you can improve next time.
+
+52
+00:06:08,740 --> 00:06:12,480
+And I'll have access to jobs which aren't advertised.
+
+53
+00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:16,140
+Exactly. Most temporary jobs aren't advertised
+
+54
+00:06:16,540 --> 00:06:29,220
+And I expect finding a temporary job this way takes a lot less time. It's much easier than ringing up individual companies. Yes indeed. Well, I think
+
+55
+00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,560
+That is the end of part one.
+
+56
+00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:39,950
+You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

+Part 2
+
+2
+00:00:02,470 --> 00:00:09,520
+You will hear a woman giving a presentation about a holiday on an island in Britain that her company organizes.
+
+3
+00:00:10,890 --> 00:00:15,340
+First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
+
+4
+00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,120
+Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.
+
+5
+00:00:53,130 --> 00:01:03,280
+Good morning, my name is Erica Mathews and I'm the owner of Matthews Island Holidays, a company set up by my parents.
+
+6
+00:01:03,890 --> 00:01:09,680
+Thank you for coming to this presentation in which I hope to interest you in what we have to offer.
+
+7
+00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:21,560
+We are a small family run company, and we believe in the importance of the personal touch. so we don't aim to compete with other companies on the number of customers.
+
+8
+00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:37,710
+What we do is build on our many years experience, more than almost any other rail holiday company, to ensure we provide perfect Holidays in a small number of destinations which we've got to know extremely well.
+
+9
+00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:52,300
+I'll start with our 6 day: I love man holiday. This is a fascinating island in the Irish Sea, with Wales to the South, England to the East, Scotland to the north, and Northern Island to the West.
+
+10
+00:01:53,010 --> 00:01:57,960
+Our holiday starts in Heysham, where your tour manager will meet you.
+
+11
+00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:09,800
+Then you'll travel by ferry to the Isle of Man. Some people prefer to fly from Luton instead, and another popular option is to go by train to Liverpool and take a ferry from there.
+
+12
+00:02:10,660 --> 00:02:20,580
+You have five nights in the hotel ,and the price covers 5 breakfasts and dinners, and lunch on the three days when there are organized trips.
+
+13
+00:02:20,860 --> 00:02:26,570
+Day four is free and most people have lunch in a cafe or restaurant in Douglas.
+
+14
+00:02:27,450 --> 00:02:30,920
+The price of the holiday includes the ferry to the Isle of Man.
+
+15
+00:02:31,060 --> 00:02:36,120
+All travel on the island, the hotel, and the meals I've mentioned.
+
+16
+00:02:36,340 --> 00:02:53,240
+Incidentally, we tried to make booking our Holidays as simple and fair as possible.so unlike with many companies, the price is the same whether you book six months in advance or at the last minute, and there's no supplement for single rooms in hotels.
+
+17
+00:02:54,070 --> 00:03:05,150
+If you make a booking then need to change the start date, for example because of illness, you're welcome to change to an alternative date or a different tool for a small administrative fee.
+
+18
+00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,450
+Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
+
+19
+00:03:44,650 --> 00:03:48,960
+Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
+
+20
+00:03:52,140 --> 00:03:55,740
+OK, So what does the holiday consist of?
+
+21
+00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:04,060
+Well, on day one you'll arrive in time for a short introduction by your tour manager, followed by dinner in the hotel.
+
+22
+00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:12,330
+The dining room looks out at the River close to where it flows into the harbor, and there's usually plenty of activity going on.
+
+23
+00:04:13,090 --> 00:04:20,980
+On day two, you'll take the coach to the small town of Peel on the way, calling in at that in world exhibition.
+
+24
+00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:28,310
+The Isle of Man isn't part of the United Kingdom, and it has its own Parliament called Tinwald.
+
+25
+00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:37,240
+It's claimed that this is the world's oldest parliament that still functioning and let it dates back to 979.
+
+26
+00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:47,250
+However, the earliest surviving reference to it is from 1422, so perhaps it isn't quite as old as it claims.
+
+27
+00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:58,640
+Day three, we have a trip to the mountains Snaefell. This begins with allegedly ride along the promenade in Douglas in a horse drawn tram.
+
+28
+00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,710
+Then you bought an electric train which takes you to the fishing village of Laxis.
+
+29
+00:05:05,290 --> 00:05:11,460
+From there it's an 8 kilometer ride in the Snaefell Mountain Railway to the top.
+
+30
+00:05:12,130 --> 00:05:16,850
+Lunch will be in the cafe giving you spectacular views of the island.
+
+31
+00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,300
+Day four is free view to explore using the pass, which will give you.
+
+32
+00:05:23,460 --> 00:05:30,060
+So you won't have to pay for travel on local transport, or for entrance to the islands heritage sites.
+
+33
+00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,550
+All you might just want to take it easy and Douglas and perhaps do a little light shopping.
+
+34
+00:05:36,730 --> 00:05:47,490
+The last full day day five is for some people the highlight of the holiday with a ride on the steam railway from Douglas to part Erin.
+
+35
+00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:57,380
+After some time to explore, a coach will take you to the headland that overlooks the calf of man, a small island just off the coast.
+
+36
+00:05:57,660 --> 00:06:05,190
+From there, you continue to Castle Town, which used to be the capital of the Isle of Man, and it's medieval Castle.
+
+37
+00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:14,310
+And on day six, it's back to the ferry. All the airport if you flew to the island and time to go home.
+
+38
+00:06:15,310 --> 00:06:17,650
+Now I'd like to tell you a bit more.
+
+39
+00:06:20,740 --> 00:06:22,640
+That is the end of Part 2.
+
+40
+00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:28,180
+You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Part 2.
+
