A relaxation center

Section 2.

You will hear a tour guide giving a talk about a relaxation centre.

First, you'll have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.

Now, listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.

Hello everyone, my name is Sally.

Welcome to our globally renowned spa and relaxation centre here at Island View Estates.

Before you all wander off and begin exploring the facilities, I'd like to go over a few things.

Now, this year is a very special milestone for our beloved centre, as it is our 25th anniversary.

I understand that this means you have all paid an increased price for your tickets, but I can promise that all of the events we have scheduled for your enjoyment will make the costs well worth it.

I know that all of you have travelled a long distance to make it here to the centre of the new forest, but it is thanks to its remoteness that our centre is such a beautiful place to relax.

I'm sure you are all keen to find out what activities we have arranged for you, so I will give you a quick overview.

Tomorrow, we have arranged for you all to participate in a yoga session for the duration of the morning, followed by a day of relaxation at the pool where we have ample sun umbrellas to protect you from the sun.

On Wednesday, we have organised a sightseeing hike through the forest, where you will be able to test your navigation skills and witness the wild ponies in their natural habitat.

It's forecast to be sunny that day, but I recommend that you all bring rainproof clothes just in case.

On your last day, we have a special surprise – a pony trek along the beach.

We ask that you all wear full-length trousers, and that all women have their hair tied up in a ponytail.

Helmets are provided at the centre for those who would like to wear one.

There are a couple of beautiful attractions here at the centre that you must all be sure to visit before you leave.

The Rose Garden, located just at the corner of the property, is home to many indigenous species and is beautifully serene and peaceful – the perfect place to collect your thoughts or read a book.

Our sunset boat ride has been the favourite attraction for many of our visitors.

Simply hop aboard and relax whilst we sail you out into the open sea to witness one of the most beautiful spectacles that nature has to offer.

Last, but certainly not least, is the freshwater pond, which serves as a watering hole of sorts.

Some of you may even be lucky enough to spot our resident kingfishers, who are members of a very rare and endangered species.

Once you have all unpacked and settled into your rooms, we will be taking you out to the neighbouring island for a bonfire and barbecue dinner.

The island is very small, and the bicycle trails make it very easy to explore all of its beautiful corners.

As the island is entirely separate from the mainland, it has never been inhabited by wildlife, so you can all roam freely and safely.

We have some bonding exercises for you all to take part in around the bonfire, where you can potentially make new friends and discover a lot about yourself.

Before you hear the rest of the talk, you'll have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.

Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.

Now let me tell you a little bit about the facilities that the resort has to offer.

For those of you keen on indulging in a little bit of retail therapy, just wander along to our tourist centre, where we have a wide selection of presents on sale at reasonable prices.

If you are feeling more drawn to the natural surroundings and scenery, I recommend that you take a trek up the mountain, where you can enjoy the panoramic outlook from the peak.

For a bit of cultural indulgence, why not pay a visit to our small on-site theatre, where you can enjoy watching a range of movies and check out some works by our resident street artists.

Just a 10-minute walk down the road is the local art museum, where you can roam around the sculpture courtyard or admire the many artworks on display.

Here at the resort, we are incredibly lucky to be located right next to a nature reserve, where many species of endangered wildlife live in the pond.

Just on the bank is a small hut, where visitors can observe the fish and birds in their natural habitat.

Now, if any of you are interested in history, you have the very interesting opportunity to visit the ancient building at the south side of the grounds.

The building is now a museum, however, it originally served as a jail for those charged with crimes of treason against the royal family.

Well, that just about rounds it up.

Now, if anyone has any questions?

That is the end of section 2.

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Now turn to section 3.

Giải thích chi tiết

Hello Dolbie 🤩

Cùng chinh phục câu hỏi này nhé 😁

🌱 Đọc hiểu câu hỏi: Câu hỏi đang hỏi về lý do vì sao hòn đảo này thu hút du khách. → Ta cần xác định lý do chính khiến nơi này trở thành điểm đến phổ biến.

▶️ Bắt đầu nghe ở:

00:01:16 → “I understand that this means you have all paid an increased price..."

00:01:19 → “...but it is thanks to its remoteness that our centre is such a beautiful place to relax.”

☺️ Giải thích:

Người dẫn chương trình nói: “...it is thanks to its remoteness that our centre is such a beautiful place to relax.”

→ Câu này cho thấy chính vì vị trí xa xôi, yên tĩnh, nơi này mới là địa điểm lý tưởng để nghỉ ngơi, thư giãn.

→ Đây là lý do chính được nêu ra về sức hấp dẫn của đảo.

✅ Đáp án đúng: A. it's a good place to relax

🧐 DOLBIE lưu ý:

❌ B. the transport is very convenient

→ Ngược lại, đảo được miêu tả là xa xôi, khó di chuyển.

❌ C. the ticket price is relatively low

→ Câu 00:01:06 nói ngược lại: “...you have all paid an increased price for your tickets.” → Nên nếu nghe không kỹ, dễ chọn nhầm.

Chúc Dolbie học tốt và tự tin hơn trong bài thi IELTS nha 🥳💪
