TAPESCRIPTS Task 1: There are four questions in this part. For each question, choose the correct answer A, B, or C. You will listen to the recording twice. Todd: Karen, can you talk about some of the places you've been to? Karen: Yes. First of all, I spent about three months in Australia. I suppose the most amazing place I visited was Uluru. The landscape there was just incredible. Todd: Uluru? That’s great! Karen: I've also been to South America. I spent a year in Peru, and while I was there I went to Machu Picchu. It is an ancient ruin of an old Inca town. Probably about seven hundred years old, I think. Todd: Uhuh! That's interesting. Any other places? Karen: I spent quite a lot of time in Spain, and the most interesting place there was the Alhambra in Granada. It's an amazing old town with Muslim palaces. Todd: Alhambra? Very cool. So, you've seen something in Australia, in South America, in Europe, how about Asia? Karen: Asia. I've been to Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Todd: And what is your favourite place in Asia? Karen: Well, probably Bangkok. Oh, no, I think I like Hokkaido the most. Task 2: Listen to the tapeand fill the blank with NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR NUMBERS from the recording. You will listen to the recording twice. (1.0 pt) I’ve learned several foreign languages as an adult. I was able to learn French to make conversations fluently in 17 days using the following techniques. I set up a routine where I did the same things every day.In the morning, I woke up and wrote out the regular and irregular verb tables for 1.5-2 hours. I managed to get through an entire pad of paper in two weeks. I still believe that writing things out by hand is the best way to memorise things. I would run for 45 to 60 minutes in the early afternoon in the French countryside listening to catchy French music. Music is a great way to learn the intonation of a language and train your facial muscles as you sing along.In the afternoon, I read “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” in French. Reading children’s books is a great way to learn new languages. I spent at least an hour a day writing basic essays about myself which I had my French friend check for errors. Another good tip is to learn the filler words. These are the words and phrases people say all the time between sentences but have no real meanings like alors, en fait, etc. These allow you to buy time in a conversation and increase your confidence. After 17 days I left the small town and went to Paris. I met a girl in a coffee shop and we started talking. After a few minutes, she asked how long I had lived in France. When I told her I had been learning French for 17 days, she swore that I had lived in France for at least a year. Hopefully there are some useful tips you can use in your learning. Let me know and bonne chance!
