www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsfighter.support/ suggests that they'll never fit in the traditional classroom, because these boys require a situation where they have the ability to manage their own learning environment Now let's look at the way we prevention education All prevention education is aimed at a future time zone We say don't smoke or you'll get cancer Get good grades or you won't get a good job, but with present orientated kids, that just doesn't work Although they understand the potentially negative consequences of their actions, they persist with the behavior, because they're not living for the future (38) They're in the moment right now We can't use logic and it's no use reminding them of potential fallout from their decisions or previous errors of judgment We've got to get in their minds just as they're about to make a choice Time perspectives make a big difference in how we value and use our time When Americans are asked how busy they are, the vast majority report being busier than ever before They admit to sacrificing their relationships, personal time and a good night's sleep for their success Twenty years ago, 60 percent of Americans had sit down dinners with their families, and now only 20 percent But when they're asked what they would with an eight day week they say: Oh that'd be great They would spend that time laboring away to achieve more (39) They're constantly trying to get ahead, to get toward a future point of happiness So it's really important to be aware of how other people think about time We tend to think: “Oh that person's really irresponsible or that guy's power hungry”, but often what we're looking at is not fundamental differences of personality but really just different ways of thinking about time Seeing these conflicts as differences in time perspective rather than distinctions of character, can facilitate more effective cooperation between people (40) and get the most out of each person's individual strengths That is

Thank you Bye That is the end of section one You now have half a minute to check your answers Section You will hear the organizer of a rock festival talking to the exhibitors and performers at a planning meeting First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 17 on page three 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/ Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 17 Good evening everyone I'm glad you could make this planning meeting for what promises to be the biggest and most colorful free rock festival ever held in the south east So whether you're a performer, a craft exhibitor or an artist, we all extend a big welcome to you Could we turn first to the plan so I can familiarize you with the layout of the site and which as you know is an old football stadium We're really lucky to have so much space this year You can see the main gate at the bottom of the plan We found it That's where most visitors will enter It's also the entrance for those taking part in the craft fair (11) We've set the stalls just inside the gate on the left in a circle If you walk straight ahead from the gate along the path without turning right, you'll come to some steps up to the football stadium On the left of the steps is the Fringe stage (12) This is for alternative artists They include folk singers, poets and other acts which are more suited to a smaller stage And they should also enter by the main gate On the opposite side of the steps is a restaurant (13) and adjoining that is the main festival information point Here you can get extra programs and up to the minute information about events, and you can discuss any last minute problems although we hope everything will be running smoothly when the festival opens Right, coming back to the plan You go up the stairs to the stadium, the entrance for the rock bands is on the far side (14) and on your right is the main stage, which will have powerful illumination and amplification throughout the weekend There will probably be TV vehicles adjacent, that's in this area only for recording purposes If you look at the outside of the plan, you can see a third gate for exhibitors opening onto a side path (15) A little way down the path before you get to the trees, is the building where the art exhibition is being housed (16) Then finally, there's just one more building marked on your plan, quite near the main gate it's divided into lock up garages (17) So I hope you now feel quite familiar with the main festival area Before you hear the rest of the talk you have some time to look at questions 18 to 20 on page Now listen and answer questions 18 to 20 We also hope that you'll have received your welcome pack In it you should find two parking tickets for yourself and anyone assisting you An armband to indicate that you are an official visitor (18) One of our brilliant yellow badges with the new festival logo, festival program and several sheets of information that we'd asked you to study carefully before the event Please could you note that all setting up of stalls displays and so on, should be completed by 9.30 am and that unfortunately, we won't be able to allow any vehicles to enter the festival area after that time Yeah, it's a big site but even a few vehicles parked in the wrong place can block the paths, with crowds of people and we are expecting several thousand This can merely be a nuisance but if there's an emergency and access for an ambulance is blocked (19), the situation will become not just annoying but also dangerous Don't forget it could be your mother or your child who needs help Several exhibitors and crafts people have asked us if any provision can be made for overnight storage of tables chairs and display items, rather than having to take them home and bring them again We're pleased to say that a limited amount of space has been made available in the building near the main gate You'll be issued 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/ with a yellow ticket to reclaim your property similar to the red parking tickets (20) So check you bring the right one But please understand that this is entirely at your own risk, as we can take no responsibility for items lost or damaged I think that's all I have to say at this point, but thank you all for your attention That is the end of section You now have half a minute to check your answers Section You will hear a discussion between a business student called Marco and his personal tutor about the courses that Marco should take First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 23 On page Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty one to twenty three Hi Marco Come in Thanks I've got a bit stuck trying to select courses for next semester Could you help me please? 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 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 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 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 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) 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/ 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 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 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 Test 10 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? Oh good morning I'm starting at the college in September and I need to find some accommodation Right Well there are various options The first one is to stay in college accommodation That'd be a single room The first type of accommodation is a single room in the college so single room has been written in the space now we shall begin You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time Listen carefully and answer questions to college accommodation bureau Darren speaking How may I help you? Oh good morning I'm starting at the college in September and I need to find some accommodation Right Well, there are various options The first one is to stay in college accommodation That'd be a single room How much would that cost? Well it depends For a standard room, you're looking at three thousand two hundred seventy six pounds for the year That's just for a room with washbasin or three thousand eight hundred thirty four pounds, if you want an en suite, that's with your own small bathroom (1) I see That's more than I expected It does include heating That's quite a saving because energy costs can be high, especially in winter Does it include meals as well?

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? 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) 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'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?

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 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/ 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 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) 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 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 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 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 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/ 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 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?
