Notes on A Part-time Society

...:

Test 2 You will hear a number of different recordings and you'll have to answer questions on what you hear.

...:

There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you'll have a chance to check your work.

...:

All the recordings will be played once only.

...:

The test is in four sections.

...:

At the end of the test, you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

...:

Now turn to section 1.

...:

Section 1 You will hear a man who has just retired telephoning a part-time society to ask about membership and activities.

...:

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.

...:

You will see there is an example that has been done for you.

...:

On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Hello, this is the Leighton Society.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

How can I help?

MAN:

Oh, hello.

MAN:

I'm just phoning you because I'm interested in becoming a member of your society and I was wondering if you could give me some more information.

...:

The name of the society is Leighton So, Leighton 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 1 to 5.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Hello, this is the Leighton Society.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

How can I help?

MAN:

Oh, hello.

MAN:

I'm just phoning you because I'm interested in becoming a member of your society and I was wondering if you could give me some more information.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Of course.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

What would you like to know?

MAN:

Well, first of all, I'd like to know where you hold the club meetings as I'm not very mobile anymore and I'm looking for somewhere that's within walking distance of my house.

MAN:

Are you still down at the old boathouse?

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

No, we moved away from there a while ago.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Meetings are now held at the clubhouse.

MAN:

Oh, brilliant.

MAN:

That's only five minutes from me.

MAN:

Do you require members to have any skills or experience?

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

No, there is no experience required.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

We have plenty of female singers and actresses but we don't have many men who can play the male roles.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

We are looking to resolve this and are especially interested in recruiting male actors and singers.

MAN:

I've never sung professionally but I'm very keen on it and I've been told that I'm talented so I think this would be a good fit.

MAN:

Do you organise coaches to transport members to practice at the theatre?

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Unfortunately, the club does not have sufficient funds to organise transportation though this is something we are working towards.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

We are currently looking for members who can drive so that we can organise car sharing.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Members who are able to shuttle people in their cars will obviously be compensated for their petrol usage.

MAN:

I don't drive but I'd be happy to contribute some money in order to use the shuttle services.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Yes, that is no problem.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Are you aware of when the meetings take place?

MAN:

No, I couldn't find the meeting times on your website.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

We hold meetings from 6 to 8pm every Tuesday.

MAN:

Ah, that's lucky.

MAN:

I go to a debating club every Wednesday so I'm glad that it's on a different night so I can attend both.

MAN:

Do you operate year round?

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

We used to close during December for the Christmas period but we found that a lot of members wanted to continue their practices during this time.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

We operate for most of the year but we do, however, close for August because the weather gets so hot that we are unable to practice comfortably.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

This may change when we have enough funds to operate the air conditioning.

...:

Before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.

...:

Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.

MAN:

OK, I also wanted to ask how much the membership fee is and what is included with it.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Our membership fee is inexpensive and it includes many benefits that certainly make the costs worth it.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

For example, we hold an annual event where members can meet each other and converse about topics that they have in common.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

We find that this is very popular as the dinner is truly superb and included with your membership fee.

MAN:

Wow, that sounds great.

MAN:

And how much does membership cost?

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

We have a couple of membership rates depending on your age and situation.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

For employed members under the age of 30, the fee is £40 while it costs £60 for members aged between 30 and 60.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Which of these categories do you fit into?

MAN:

Oh, I don't fit into either of those.

MAN:

I'm 65 years old and retired, so I'm no longer employed.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

That's no problem at all.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

You qualify for the lowest price membership fee of £25 which applies to those who are either unemployed or retired.

MAN:

Wow, that's really affordable.

MAN:

I was thinking of bringing my grandson along to some of the practices.

MAN:

So what would the membership cost for him?

MAN:

He's 14.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

I'm afraid that the club is for adults only.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

That is to say we don't allow members who are aged 16 and under.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

He is welcome to join in two years' time though.

MAN:

Ah, that's a shame.

MAN:

I guess I can wait and buy him a membership for his birthday present.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Yes, what a good idea.

MAN:

I was hoping I could bring him with me so I have someone there to talk to.

MAN:

I'm worried that I won't have anything in common with the other members.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

I'm sure you'll fit in just fine.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

All our members are very friendly and interested in culture and music.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Most of the people involved are modern authors looking for new experiences to write about in their books.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

You could read some of their books so you have something to discuss with them.

MAN:

That's a good suggestion.

MAN:

I'll definitely do that.

MAN:

I'm really looking forward to attending the annual dinner so I can meet new people and hopefully make some friends.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Absolutely.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Everyone has a great night and it's all for charity as all of the money raised from this event is donated to the children's hospital so they can buy toys and clothes.

MAN:

Wow, what a great cause.

MAN:

Well, I will definitely be popping in soon to arrange my membership.

MAN:

Thank you for all of your help.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

No problem at all.

LEIGHTON SOCIETY:

Goodbye.

MAN:

Bye.

Leisure Complex Plan

Section 2.

You will hear a part of a talk given by a director of a train station.

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

Now, listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.

Hello, and thank you for attending this meeting.

I have called it to discuss station matters, as there have been a number of changes made, and I want to ensure that you are all filled in.

Well, as I'm sure you will all have heard, there are plans underway to make some alterations to the station complex.

Though we did the reconstruction work that occurred last year, from the data collected this year, we have learned that our station is too small to cope with a large number of visitors passing through it on a daily basis.

However, relocation is unnecessary, which means you, our staff, will be unaffected and can continue with your work as normal.

We have decided that our only option is to make the area bigger by building new platforms and new facilities, such as cafes and lounge areas.

We have already purchased the site on which these new facilities will be constructed.

We had initially planned to build on the site of the old industrial buildings.

However, tests carried out on the soil and water showed that it was too highly contaminated with waste from the industrial processes.

Instead, we have purchased the site just across the road, on which there used to be a lot of houses that were later converted into shops.

These buildings will, of course, be demolished to make room for our new facilities.

What is going to be built on this new site?

I see you thinking to yourselves.

There have been a lot of ideas put forward by all the parties involved.

Initially, the station had planned to use the site as a car park.

However, we decided this would be a very unsatisfactory way to occupy the space.

Instead, we have hired an architect who has an exciting vision to transform the site into a large leisure centre complete with cafes, shops and a lounge where visitors can relax.

We hope that this new complex will attract many visitors, not just from the station, but also from the apartment blocks in the nearby town centre.

As part of the construction works, we are also going to create new formal gardens where visitors can enjoy the greenery and sit outside in the fresh air.

The new leisure complex will be located to the right of the shopping district, so these formal gardens will serve as a meeting place for pedestrians.

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

Now, listen and answer questions 15 to 20.

Now, I'm delighted to be able to introduce you all to the plans for our new complex, so if you could please focus your attention on the maps in front of you.

We will start at the main entrance and make our way towards the cafe, which is located behind the wall that we can see directly in front of us, just next to the rear entrance.

In this position, the cafe is obscured from the entrances, which will keep the space warm and also create an intimate atmosphere.

Once visitors arrive at our station, they often need further transport in order to reach their homes.

Therefore, we have introduced a taxi rank with its own waiting area.

In order to reach these facilities, the visitors must simply leave the complex via the rear entrance and turn left.

Visitors who have travelled to the station by car can leave it in the car park for a small fee, which is located just outside of the rear entrance to the right.

At present, our station does not have an internal seating area for passengers, so they are forced to wait for their trains outside on the platforms, which can be particularly unpleasant during the winter.

We have, therefore, decided to introduce a passenger waiting area inside the new complex to the right of the rear entrance, with comfortable seating where passengers can pass the time comfortably in the warmth.

As this space is a distance away from the station, we have also proposed a waiting area for wheelchair users that is closer.

As visitors enter through the main entrance, this space will be located behind the wall to their left.

Finally, we have also decided that it would be a great idea to introduce a new tourist office, where visitors can get maps and information on our wonderful town.

We want this new office to be easily accessible, so visitors entering through the main entrance will find it directly to their right.

Now, I think that's all I have to tell you.

Please feel free to ask any questions if you would like to know anything else.

That is the end of Section 2.

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Now turn to Section 3.

Choosing Selective Courses

Rick:

Hey Nina, have you chosen a selective course yet?

Nina:

Not really, Rick.

Nina:

I haven't made up my mind yet.

Nina:

What about you?

Rick:

Me either.

Rick:

We have to decide as soon as possible though.

Nina:

Why?

Nina:

Today's not the final day for choosing selective courses, is it?

Rick:

No, but they will be booked up very soon.

Rick:

Actually, some courses are already full.

Nina:

Really?

Nina:

That's too bad.

Nina:

Well, I was thinking of taking a language course.

Nina:

What do you think?

Rick:

Yes, you can do that.

Rick:

You can choose all courses on the school website except mathematics, since it's a required course for all students.

Rick:

By the way, I think business course is a good choice.

Nina:

Yeah, it's not bad.

Nina:

I think it's going to be quite helpful after we graduate.

Rick:

I think so.

Rick:

Guess what?

Rick:

I wanted to choose information statistics.

Nina:

Why?

Rick:

It's related to our major, so I think it's very useful for us.

Rick:

I mean, we will have an advantage in job hunting.

Rick:

But the bad thing is, it's in the morning, so we have to skip other classes in order to take it.

Nina:

That's not good.

Nina:

We need to find an alternative that is more convenient for us.

Rick:

I know, it's a shame.

Rick:

Nina, I think we need to get to know the courses more before choosing them.

Rick:

Otherwise, we may end up studying something that's either boring or useless.

Nina:

You're right.

Nina:

Maybe we can look online to see if there's information about it.

Nina:

We could also ask our parents for advice.

Rick:

I don't think that's going to help much.

Rick:

People have all kinds of opinions online.

Rick:

We wouldn't know which one to listen to.

Rick:

And our parents probably don't know much about our field.

Rick:

I think the best way is asking the former students who have taken the class themselves.

Rick:

They can tell us how they thought about it from their own experience.

Nina:

Oh yes, they know it better than anyone, just like how much we know the art design class.

Rick:

Yes, before we took it last year, many people said on the internet that it was quite confusing, but it turned out to be quite easy and helpful, right?

Nina:

Mm-hmm, it didn't let us down.

Nina:

I definitely value the course.

Nina:

Design is an important skill in today's world.

Nina:

Well, whatever course we want to choose, there are still things I need to figure out.

Rick:

What do you mean?

Rick:

Do you mean things like the time of the courses?

Nina:

Since it's the first time we can choose selective courses, I need to know how to register.

Nina:

I think there will be instruction on our school website for registration.

Nina:

I'll let you know.

Rick:

You are so considerate, Nina.

Rick:

I think that's necessary.

Rick:

We need to make sure we can register as soon as we make up our mind.

Nina:

The courses we studied last semester were quite interesting.

Nina:

Maybe we could get some inspiration from those courses.

Nina:

Do you think so?

Rick:

Well, yeah, some of them were quite fun for me, such as metallurgy, though there were quite a lot of terms to remember.

Nina:

But there's also a lot of useful information about it on the internet, which made things easier.

Rick:

That's right.

Rick:

I can refer to many things when I was working on the paper.

Nina:

And the professor in fluid mechanics was really patient.

Nina:

His explanation was crystal clear, so students had no difficulty understanding it.

Rick:

Yes, that's true.

Rick:

I was good at this course.

Rick:

What do you think of computing?

Nina:

I think it was kind of boring in the beginning.

Nina:

Do you think so?

Rick:

That's exactly how I felt.

Rick:

There are a lot of numbers to deal with, but thankfully it got more interesting when the course went on.

Nina:

Right, because later we could relate the theories to real life examples.

Rick:

Exactly.

Rick:

Another course that I think was really practical is energy economy.

Nina:

Oh yes, there are a lot of practical works in the course.

Nina:

What we learned can come in handy in our future jobs.

Rick:

We should make the decision based on our own experience and preference.

Nina:

Yeah.

Nina:

Anyway, we really need to hurry up.

Rick:

I'm sure we can reach a conclusion today.

❓Câu hỏi: Why should they choose a selective course immediately? ✅ Đáp án đúng: B. It will be full very soon. ▶️ Bắt đầu nghe ở: Khi Rick nói họ phải quyết định sớm và Nina hỏi lại lý do: “We have to decide as soon as possible though.” / “Why?”

☺️ Giải thích đáp án:

Đọc câu hỏi và xác định ý cần nghe: lý do phải chọn immediately (= ngay lập tức/càng sớm càng tốt).
Nghe câu trả lời của Rick sau khi Nina hỏi “Why?”: Rick nói “they will be booked up very soon” và thêm “some courses are already full”.
booked up / full = hết chỗ/đăng ký kín → nghĩa là nếu không chọn sớm thì khóa học sẽ nhanh chóng hết chỗ → chọn B.

🧐 Lưu ý: ❌ A. It’s the final day. => Nina có nhắc “not the final day” và Rick cũng xác nhận “No”, nên không phải vì hạn chót hôm nay. ❌ C. They don’t have time later on. => Bài nghe không nói họ bận hay không có thời gian, lý do chính là khóa học sắp/full chỗ.

❓ Tapescript section 4

The use of nanotechnology

Section 4.

You will hear a talk on research in nanotechnology.

First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.

Now, listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.

Good morning, everyone.

Welcome to the second lecture in our series on modern technology.

Today, I'll be discussing the recent developments in nanotechnology, in addition to its applications in a number of environments, such as domestic and medical.

First of all, I'd like to begin with a short explanation of what nanotechnology is.

It is the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular and supermolecular scale.

Because of its limitless applications and uses, the government has invested billions of dollars into the research and development of nanotechnology in order to explore its potential.

It is only recently that we have been able to engage in the development of nanotechnology, since some particles are so minuscule that a new type of microscope had to be invented to enable us to see them.

Many of you may not realise that we all use nanotechnology in our homes as a part of our daily lives.

For example, a new dietary supplement uses nanotechnology in order to help our body to absorb iron from our diet more efficiently, which can help to prevent anaemia.

This technology also makes it easier and cheaper for factories to produce foods such as chocolates, as the nanomolecules help the food to meet our recommended daily intake of certain vitamins and minerals.

This may sound odd, but in fact it just means that the food is healthier and cheaper and has increased flavour.

Another application for nanotechnology is in the agriculture industry.

In the past, farmers have been using many artificial chemicals to fertilise the soil, which is extremely bad for the planet as it contaminates the water that we drink.

By using nanotechnology, scientists have been able to develop a spray, which increases the efficiency of fertilisers that occur naturally in the soil.

This means that a lot more food can now be produced per square hectare, making it cheaper and more efficient to grow without harming the planet.

One of the industries upon which nanotechnology has had the biggest impact is the production of pharmaceuticals.

One of the most commonly occurring illnesses is food poisoning, as many foods have naturally occurring contaminants that can be harmful if eaten without being thoroughly cooked.

Nanotechnology makes it possible for us to sterilise the food and make it safe to eat by killing these bacteria.

A major success in the use of nanotechnology in the medical field is in the treatment of cancer.

Researchers have found that they can attach medicine to nanoparticles, which are then injected into the body and enable the therapeutic drugs to be absorbed into the veins.

These drugs then travel throughout the blood system and target cancerous tumours.

Scientists have also discovered that certain metals contain nanoparticles that have antibacterial qualities with the ability to destroy over 650 types of bacteria.

These metals are used, for example, on fridges to prevent the growth of bacteria.

They can even be woven into materials to create clothing that is self-cleaning and has an attractive metallic appearance.

The most popular of these materials contains silver, which naturally has the strongest antibacterial qualities.

These clothes have a special tag on them to show that they use nanotechnology, so keep a look out for them next time you go shopping.

Another observation made by some researchers showed that certain types of nanoparticles called spliferines can destroy fat tissues and therefore stimulate fat loss without the need for dieting or exercise.

They are currently developing a supplement that can be ingested in order to help dieters with their weight loss programmes.

It is predicted that these supplements will be on the market by 2020.

I would like to finish today's lecture with a final example of a domestic application for nanotechnology – cosmetics.

Nanoparticles are used in many make-ups and body lotions, but they have the greatest effect in sun cream.

Ultraviolet rays given off by the sun are a serious cause of skin cancer, but the nanoparticles in sun cream protect the skin against the sun by blocking the ultraviolet radiation from entering the body.

This is why you must always wear suntan lotion on the beach.

Now I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

That is the end of section 4.

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

That is the end of the listening test.

In the IELTS test, you will now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
