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 (21) Once you get a job it's not much good Choosing areas that aren't going to be helpful later on Right I want to go into management, so I'll need to think about that And should I start specializing in a particular area yet? I don't think that's wise at this stage It's better to aim for a wide variety of subjects (22), especially as management covers so many possibilities You shouldn't be limiting your choices for later on Yes, I see You should also look at how the course is made up (23) Will you have regular seminars and tutorials for example, as well as lectures Okay Some of the lecturers are quite big names in their fields aren't they? Should I aim to go to their courses? 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 Before you hear the rest of the discussion You have some time to look at questions 24 to 30 on pages and now listen and answer questions 24 to 30 Good Well that's a great help Now last time we met, you mentioned doing Team Management didn't you? That's right I'm still quite keen on the idea The trouble is that because of changes in the content of various courses, team management overlaps with the Introduction to Management course you took in 151 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ your first year (24) So what you learned from it would be too little for the amount of time you'd have to spend on it 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 Yes Why exactly you want to write a dissertation instead of taking the finance modules? It'll be pretty demanding Well I'm quite prepared to the extra work because I'm keen to investigate something in depth instead of just skating across the surface (25) I realized that a broader knowledge base may be more useful to my career, but I'm really keen to this 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 organized it seems unnecessarily complex (26) The data that you want to collect and analyze is potentially valuable, but you'll need to narrow down the subject matter to make the whole thing manageable Okay 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 (27) If not, I think I'll have to change to another topic Well go ahead then I could give you some names Thanks Now let's talk about practicalities Your dissertation must be finalized by the end of May So you should aim to finish the first draft by the end of March (28) Is that feasible? Yes It shouldn't be a problem I'll need to register for the dissertation on time Is that with the register's department? No it's internal to this department So you just need to let the secretary know that as soon as you're sure you're going to write the dissertation (29) Okay Then to analyze your statistics you're going to need some suitable software If I were you, I'd drop into the computer office and ask them for a copy (30) Right So if I revise my outline 152 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ That is the end of section You now have half a minute to check your answers Section You will hear a talk about a research project on the Tiger Shark First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on pages and Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40 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 meters It can be found just about everywhere throughout the world's temperate and tropical seas But it is most often found along the coast rather than the open sea (31) In terms of feeding, tiger sharks tend to be most active at night and our solitary hunters Their preferred prey includes other sharks, turtles, seabirds, and dolphins to name but a few However, it's not uncommon to find garbage in its stomach (32) 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 have been done in the Rain Island area Observations here have shown that there is a large population of tiger sharks present in the summer during the turtle nesting season (33) However, during the winter months the Sharks disappear So we decided to some of our own research there The first step was to tag a number of sharks, so that we could follow their movements To this, we first needed to catch the sharks early in the morning We baited lines with large bits of fish and set them in place (34) These lines were then checked every three or four hours (35) If no sharks were caught, the baits were replaced Once the shark had been caught on one of the baited hooks, it was pulled in close to the boat and secured (36), so that we could carry out a number of brief activities to aid our research This usually took no more than about 10 minutes and 153 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ was carried out as carefully as possible to minimize 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 camera (37) to the dorsal fin to enable us to study the behavior and habitat use of the sharks After this, the shark was released and we were able to follow its movements (38) So what was the purpose of all this tagging? Well, while we were already familiar with some aspects of the tiger sharks behavior and food sources, what we hope to in this project was to see exactly what factors affected the migration patterns of tiger sharks (39) 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 rain Ireland 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 moved back and forth between the ocean floor and the surface quite often (40) This may help the sharks conserve energy while they swim, but it probably also helps them hunt ,since this movement back and forth maximizes 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 behavior of tiger sharks and are now hoping to develop our research further That is the end of Section You now have half a minute to check your answers 154 Test 10 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ IELTS listening 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 sections Write all your answers in the listening question booklet At the end of the test you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet Now turn to section one on page two of your question booklet Section You will hear a student from overseas phoning the student accommodation office of a college in the UK for some information First you have some time to look at questions to on page you will see that there is an example that has been done for you on this occasion only the conversation relating to this will be played first College accommodation bureau Daryn speaking, how may I help you?

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 OK And you said that's the price for the whole year? Well, you pay annually But actually it's for 36 weeks It doesn't include holidays (2) You have to vacate the room then Oh, I'd need somewhere to stay in the holidays I can't afford to go home The flights are too expensive 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 Oh? We call this arrangement Home Welcome (3) 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 Is there a contract? Do you have to stay for the whole year? No It's flexible (4) It sounds really good but I'm not sure I really want to be a little more independent Before you hear the rest of the conversation You have some time to look at questions to 10 on page two Now listen and answer questions to 10 What about finding somewhere to live off campus? 156 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ 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 What about if I don't want to share? You can get what we call a studio (5) They're often quite small but they'll have everything you need Right How much would those two options cost? Well prices vary depending on which part of town the property's in Generally speaking, the cheapest is around two hundred and seventy five pounds a month for each student Oh that's not too bad Yes, but it can also be as high as four hundred and ninety pounds And then you have to pay all your other bills 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 will probably be somewhere in the region of 48 pounds (6) That's a lot Yes, they've gone up quite a bit And on top of that, you have to pay for water (7) and that'll probably be around nine pounds That didn't occur to me And I guess I'd have to pay for transportation too (8) That's right Most of these properties are quite a long way from the college It just gets worse and worse What's the minimum contract on this type of accommodation? Six months and you have to pay a deposit (9), but of course you can stay there over the holidays That's true And you'd have to provide references (10) They want two from someone in this country I see that's not a problem If you choose this option we can find the property for you You'd have to go through the estate agent which manages the property for the owner 157 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ Right Thanks Well I think I'd like to see what's available privately Could you give me the estate agent details?

60 different nationalities The museum has a number of exciting displays and exhibitions, and this audio guide is designed to help you make the most of your visit Altogether the museum has 18 different galleries, and this season sees the opening of three new exhibitions We recommend that you begin your tour by visiting this season's highlights The Heritage Clothes exhibition is located in Gallery of the museum People who live in the area have spent two years preparing this exhibition (11), which brings together some of the fascinating garments traditionally worn in their own communities They researched 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 modelled by the real people who wear them in the course of their everyday lives (12) Another highlight this season is the exhibition called Toys From The Past, which can be found in Gallery This exhibition which will appeal to people of all ages is on tour throughout the country and will be here for 10 weeks only (13) The exhibits include dolls made over 100 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 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 (14) This 158 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ exhibition concludes with a special display of miniature toys These small objects are on loan from countries all over the world (15), and in some cases, measure no more than a few centimeters There is a tiny car made from matchsticks A toy aeroplane complete with pilot and passengers made out of sea shells, and some exquisite little buildings no higher than four centimetres Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at question 16 to 20 on pages and Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20 The final gallery highlight of the season is the Biscuit Gallery 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 tins round, square, triangular, hexagonal (16) for a whole range of different occasions, to celebrate national events, festivals, famous faces and so on One fascinating display deals with peoples favourite 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 coloured sugar flowers When the factory finally closed, it announced that people's favourite biscuit was not as you might expect a chocolate biscuit or one filled with jam and cream, but a plain savory one which was eaten with cheese (17) When you get to the end of the exhibition, there's an entertaining hands on activity to 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 white colors and shapes replicate the original biscuits Your job is to fill a tin with biscuits (18) 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 information desk on the ground floor (19) 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 lockers provided by the museum (20)

Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ You now have half a minute to check your answers now turned to section on page Section You will hear a discussion between a student called Helen and her tutor about an assignment that Helen is working on First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24 on page Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24 Come in Helen, how can I help you? Well, I'm doing research for the anthropology assignment and I was hoping to check a few details Sure, you chose the topic of Pacific Island Tapa, didn't you? What have you found out so far? Well I was going to introduce my assignment by saying that the Tapa cloth is a fabric made from bark - just the outer layer of the trees It's particularly common in the Pacific Islands but not exclusive to them In fact many other peoples around the world have made high quality cloth from bark But what sits Pacific Tapa apart is the incredible variety of roles it's played in this region (21) Yes, nice introduction, though I think you could be more specific regarding dates Okay so what about the raw materials used? Well Tapa Cloth is made from several species of tree In the Pacific, the paper mulberry tree is most common, but it doesn't thrive in all conditions In fact, it wasn't originally found in the islands but was carried in they canoes by the first migrants (22) Tapa is also made from the breadfruit tree, which is convenient because its fruit is a staple food The paper mulberry tree is only grown for Tapa making though Yes that's good Now what about the Maori people here in New Zealand? But the Maori don't make Tapa now That's right And you need to account for it We know that when Maori migrated here from the other Pacific islands, they were prepared to make Tapa because they brought the paper mulberry tree with them The thing was, after they'd been in New Zealand a bit, they found the flax plant which is superior to Tapa, because it makes 160 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ a stronger fabric (23) By the time Europeans arrived in the 18th century, Maori were making all their fabric from flax and had been for some time Okay So with the production process itself First the inner bark is beaten with wooden hammers to soften the fibres then different pieces glued together (24) using an adhesive paste made from the ara wrote tuber This is the only way to fabricate large pieces of cloth because bark strains are too fine to be woven together and stitching isn't strong enough Before you hear the rest of the discussion you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30 on page six Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30 So now you need details about different countries Where would you start? I think Samoa is the obvious place It's famous for its very fine cloth called siapo which is hand painted with representations of the ancestors Still today at the most profound events in life such as births, funerals, weddings and the investiture of chiefs, Samoans with Siapo robes to add significance and meaning to the ceremony (25) Okay Then I could talk about Tonga It seems to me that the great innovation in Tonga has been developing a simple coarse cloth which is quick and easy to make This is suitable for all sorts of everyday functions around the house (26) like bed covers, mosquito nets, and curtains Good point Now what about Cook Island’s Tapa? Well the soil there is poor quality so the breadfruit tree is often used One type of thick cloth called tikutu was wrapped around the poles and used to mark the entrances to places of worship So it was highly regarded and local culture (27) You might mention Fiji as well, which is interesting because Tapa was actually used as a currency there (28) Fijians used to sail between the islands and exchange Tapa for other commodities like canoes or pigs I know that in Tahiti the Tapa Cloth is different, because the peasants are in colour, which is considered more valuable than the usual brown patterns 161 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ You're right about the Thai Haitians using coloured pigment, but they aren't more valuable The colors are only a decoration People enjoy wearing bright robes, especially for dancing and competitive games and it just for fun (29) I'll make a note of it Well, the last place I was going to mention was Tikopia Even today it's commonplace to see people wearing clothes made of Tupper cloth In many of the other islands that tap only comes out on special occasions But here you see people working in the gardens wearing Tapa (30) Sounds promising Helen I'll look forward to reading your assignment That is the end of Section You now have half a minute to check your answers Now turn to Section four on page seven Section You will hear part of a talk about research into learner persistence given by a university lecturer to her colleagues First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on pages and Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40 My talk is about a research study I did over a period of five years on learner persistence Why some people stick an academic study better than others? As teachers you will know that there is a tremendous variation in the learners response to certain things For example, a short period of illness might completely destabilise some students and cause them to give up their degree studies Other learners might overcome tremendous difficulties to stay the course I am particularly interested in this second group, who are the ones with learner persistence What I decided to was design a research study using a sample of my university's third year undergraduate students Two hundred and ninety five in all, who obviously had already stayed the course pretty well The sample was drawn from a range of ages, but there was deliberately a significant number of mature students And all respondents were living at home in the local region (31) I wanted to have this element of consistency, not having some coming from outside the area and living in university accommodation It should be noted though, that there was 162 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ significant variation in home background to reflect the variation in our student population I designed questionnaires, which were devised to elicit what their concerns had been as they started the course and what had sustained them throughout the three years Findings from the first section indicated that their worries when they started varied from financial concerns, though this had not been as strong as I expected, to career prospects But mature students with children tended to emphasize uncertainties about their relationship with them (32) The second section of my questionnaire looked at learner persistence under three main headings: social and environmental factors, other factors and intrinsic or personal characteristics I identified three levels of importance for each of these At the first level, those points identified by participants as most important in learner persistence For social factors, many respondents said how crucial it had been to have good support though there was no one specific source It could be family or friends As regards other factors, students are heartened not so much by high grades, but by what they regard as success in study And for personal characteristics, many respondents reported that they took pleasure in challenge (33) and that this was regarded as very significant At the second level of importance, in the first category, a sizable percentage talked about the fact that they had enjoyed themselves in school (34) as an important social factor In the second column, other factors a number of people said that what was of most importance was decent health (35) This had a fairly strong influence on their persistence in their studies And then under the heading of personal characteristics, there were quite a large percentage of respondents who mentioned they felt it was important to have lots of interests (36) in their everyday lives This gave them a depth and sense of perspective which less persistent learners might lack And then onto the third level Under social factors, several respondents talked about good relationships with their tutors (37) For other factors they mentioned lack or absence of any problems in their families And finally, under column three, they identified an ability to juggle several roles What we might call their capacity for multitasking Now these findings obviously helped inform the design of activities as I mentioned but in addition a number of further recommendations emerged Firstly, I propose that the department distributes 163 IELTS Fighter – Tiên phong phổ cập IELTS cho người Việt Website: ielts-fighter.com | Hotline: 0903 411 666 Fanpage: www.facebook.com/ielts.fighter/ Group: www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ questionnaires to first year students to help get an idea of their maturity (38) when starting the course This is really our overriding concern Secondly, I recommend we look into ways of offering induction courses for some selected students to allow them to take on the role of advisors (39) We think they are the best people to act in that role This policy will make support much more accessible to our students Thirdly, this help is often most needed in the evening and night, when offices are closed and so we should set up online services (40) instead of the more traditional telephone services Research has shown that these services are actually more accessible to the majority of students And finally, it is often important to be proactive If students are not meeting deadlines then someone should contact them rather than wait for them to come to us now Are there any questions about the points?
