Parks & Open Spaces

You will hear a speaker welcoming new members to a wildlife club.

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 13.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 13.

Hello, and welcome to our wildlife club.

I'm delighted that you share our interest in the local countryside and its plants and animals.

Although this area is quite close to London, it supports a surprising variety of wildlife.

I'll begin with several nearby parks and open spaces.

Halland Common is a particularly pleasant place.

It has belonged to the public for centuries and the river Ouse begins there before flowing 80 km to the sea.

An information board describes the plants and animals visitors may encounter and the common is accessible at any hour of the day.

Holt Island is best known for its wide variety of trees.

Willows were once cultivated commercially there for basket making and people have recently revived that traditional craft.

The island admits visitors only from Friday through Sunday.

Because it is small, opening every day would disturb much of its wildlife.

A short walk over the bridge brings you to Longfield Country Park.

The park contains a modern reconstruction of a farm dating from more than 2000 years ago.

It often runs children's activities such as bread making and face painting.

Remember that Longfield is open only during daylight.

Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 14 to 20.

Now listen and answer questions 14 to 20.

Longfield Park offers activities throughout the year.

Here is a sample from the coming week.

On Monday, visitors can explore how herbs have been used over many centuries.

The session begins with a tour of the herb garden, followed by practical work using herbs to dye fabric.

There will also be an illustrated presentation about their role in food and medicine.

On Wednesday evening, local specialists will help visitors identify the insects and birds that become active after dark.

Numbers are deliberately kept low, so anyone wishing to attend must telephone the park ranger several days beforehand.

A small fee is payable on arrival.

On Saturday, you can help maintain the park by joining a working group.

Tasks range from planting hedges to collecting litter, and participants may move between activities.

The rangers will work all day, but visitors are welcome to help for a shorter period.

Please wear clothes that can safely become dirty or torn.

Finally, I'd like to introduce the new wildlife area at Hinchingbrook Park, which opens to the public next month.

The plan doesn't convey its full size, but it shows both entrances and the principal paths.

A lake lies in the northwest, and the bird hide is immediately west of it, at the end of a path.

It should provide a peaceful place to observe birds on the water.

The dog walking area is in the southern part of the park, close to the refreshment point and leading off the path.

Visitors who simply want to rest can use the flower garden, the circular space enclosed by paths.

The wooded area is in the western section, positioned between two paths.

That's all from me, so let's continue with...

That is the end of part two.

You now have one minute to check your answers to part two.

🔥 Answer key (đáp án và giải thích)

trees

Giải thích chi tiết

✅ Step 1: Phân tích câu hỏi Simplified: Holt Island wide variety of 11. _____

Ý câu hỏi: “Holt Island nổi bật nhất vì có nhiều _____.”

Dự đoán ô trống:

Loại từ: noun số nhiều, vì sau “wide variety of” cần một danh từ/chỉ nhóm sự vật.
Nghĩa/loại thông tin: một đặc điểm tự nhiên của hòn đảo, nhiều khả năng là thứ gì đó thuộc về thiên nhiên như cây cối / loài thực vật / động vật.

✅ Step 2: Locate bằng chứng Dựa vào từ khoá đặc biệt Holt Island (tên riêng, rất khó paraphrase), ta dễ dàng định vị được câu quan trọng sẽ là: “Holt Island is best known for its wide variety of trees.”

✅ Step 3: Đọc câu bằng chứng theo Linearthinking Simplified: Holt Island is best known for its wide variety of trees .

Câu ngay sau đó: Willows were once cultivated commercially (...) for basket making .

🔍 Lưu ý từ khó:

is best known for = nổi tiếng nhất vì / được biết đến nhiều nhất nhờ
wide variety of = đa dạng / nhiều loại
willows là một loại cây, nên câu sau càng củng cố rằng ô trống phải liên quan đến trees, không phải một hoạt động hay thời gian mở cửa.

Ý của câu: Holt Island nổi tiếng vì có rất nhiều loại cây.

✅ Step 4: Compare meaning with meaning Câu hỏi thì nói: Holt Island có “wide variety of _____”.

Bài nghe lại nói: “Holt Island is best known for its wide variety of trees.”

⇒ Như vậy, đáp án đúng là trees.

Đối chiếu paraphrasing:

“wide variety of _____” ⇔ “wide variety of trees”
“Main feature” trong bảng ⇔ “is best known for” trong bài nghe

❌ Những đáp án “bẫy”:

Friday and Sunday: rất dễ dính nếu chỉ skim/scan vì thông tin này cũng nằm ngay đoạn Holt Island, nhưng nó trả lời cho ý access/opening days, không phải main feature. Nếu không hiểu câu hỏi đang hỏi “đặc điểm chính”, học sinh rất dễ chép nhầm.
farm: từ này xuất hiện ở phần Longfield Country Park: “reconstruction of a farm”. Đây là địa điểm khác, không liên quan đến Holt Island. Skim thấy từ quen trong bảng là rất dễ chọn sai.

✅ Kết luận chốt: trees
