listened to that that was about their basically annual report of their company's progress in comparison to the previous year and part three which we will listen to in just a moment is an interview with an author so it's some kind of an interview situation and then part four will be some kind of a lecture on the history of roads so those are the two topics that we're looking at today okay um so

fair chance just write down your answers in a separate document or on a piece of paper okay all right um we are going to start this listening let's do this all right here we go so here we go now turn to section three take some time to look at questions 21 to 26. listening section 3 you will hear a radio host and his guest discussing the virtues of various art forms now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26. all right welcome back everyone our next guest is the curator of a major art gallery in the city who has just released his second book on the virtues of art we're pleased to have mr edgar patterson here today welcome to the show sir thank you for having me on it's a pleasure to be here and please call me edgar edgar of course now in your first book published four years ago you focused on performance artwork such as plays musical concerts films and other such works your second book is a little closer to home for you it concerns purely creative fine art well yes it deals with the aesthetic virtue of different painting styles okay so give our viewers a quick rundown on what your book is about does it make an argument i mean does your book take a position on a certain issue in the world of art yes my book does take a position and a rather radical one the main thesis of my book is that the meaning we associate with a painting exists purely within ourselves this is in stark contrast to many commentators who believe that the author of a painting gives the painting its meaning under this framework if an artist intends his painting to represent the fear of an orphan child then this is the one and only meaning such a painting can have we might call this the intention theory of art conversely my theory is that no matter what the intention of the author is the meaning of the painting comes from the viewer the meaning is exactly what the viewer thinks it is this solves an important problem with the intention theory of art namely that we do not have access to the mind of the artist and therefore we do not have access to the painting's meaning at all very interesting edgar but doesn't the intention theory work as a sort of grounding for artistic analysis what i mean is while we might not know the meaning the artist intended isn't the point of art to try to discern this meaning if art is just whatever we want it to be or feel it as doesn't that somehow make it less valuable that's an astute critique of my position but one i have an answer for my response is that art is not merely what we want it to be or feel it as we can still participate in our critique and interpretation all i want to say is in the end it is up to us to discern the meaning and value of paintings on our own you now have some time to look at questions 27 to 30. now listen to the rest of the discussion and answer questions 27 to 30. now let's talk about one type of controversial art abstract art how does your can i call it a subjective theory of meaning yes that is fair okay how does your subjective theory of meaning apply to something like modern or abstract art art which doesn't tell an obvious story or have a clear meaning many people think that such works of art have no meaning at all it's certainly an interesting case but one which my theory is well matched to deal with you see abstract art has its critics like you say they think it has no meaning at all however other people think abstract works of art have all sorts of meanings now under the intention theory most of these commentators will be wrong since the work of art either has a meaning or it doesn't and if it does then it only has a single meaning so under the intention theory only those critics who discern the specific meaning of the artist will be successful my theory however results in each critic being correct in their own way for example if after critically analyzing a certain abstract work of arts i determine it is meaningless then it is meaningless because the meaning of an artwork comes from within i cannot be wrong and neither can other people the critic who sees a metaphor for suffering and the critic who views it as something entirely different or both right we are all correct in our interpretation as long as we given the painting a fair critique what do you mean by a bear critique well i mean it is not enough to merely look at a painting and write it off immediately as meaningless one must go through a certain process that said there are certainly other that is the end of section three you will now have half a minute to check your answers all right and always check those answers just stop the audio before we get into part four let's look at these part three questions and talk about them so here you have two people discussing a book that this guest has written about understanding art or understanding the meaning of art okay so let's start with this question 21 how many books has this guest written okay and uh here you were listening for specifically the words first book and second book so this author enun says c mohit and pukvin lais is it's actually b yeah it is b so it's b it's two books um because uh the guest says well your first book was about this topic but your new book your second book is about this topic so first and second together means two books they do not speak about a third book so multiple choice questions for part three and part four are more challenging they're not going to say something like oh so you wrote two books uh you won't hear that you're going to hear more paraphrased type of uh answers where in the audio you hear the speakers say your first book and your second book and by understanding that you realize that this author has written two books okay so pay very very careful attention to that paraphrasing fatima ali very good two books absolutely make sure that in your answer key you don't accidentally put two okay because you'll get it wrong so in your paper-based exam it's a little bit easier to make a mistake because you'll only have like the block 21 and you actually have to put b in there that'll be correct if you accidentally put two in there they'll mark that wrong even though theoretically or technically it's correct it's wrong according to the question so be really careful this is where the computer-based exam is a little bit easier because the computer-based exam you're literally just going to have to click on the second little circle and then you'll get it correct okay so it's lower chance of mistake in the computer-based exam in this case all right okay um so here you have question 22 what description does the guest give his book's thesis so the book's thesis is the main idea of the book and you have three um choices here a it's a position b it's radical meaning it's extreme and c it's the intention theory now this was fairly tricky because you have to understand the meaning of the words a position radical intention theory if you know the meaning of a position it doesn't make sense so you right away know that that cannot be the answer right it would be just weird to say that wouldn't make sense in natural english be is a a good answer it's the correct answer it is a radical one an intention theory they don't actually talk about that till later on now let me show you something interesting with this like let's you know some people might be saying adrian that's great but i had difficulty understanding this question and i had difficulty understanding each of these answers right so you're like well it's impossible for me to get this mark it's not impossible but it is difficult however there is a little bit of a trick and i can show you that okay all right um so one kind of a trick if you're not sure about answers and you know this isn't a guarantee i'm not saying you're gonna get the answer right for sure but at least it will give you a chance so if you're having and i'm gonna call this a trick because it's not you know it's not um [Music] it's not the best solution like really honestly speaking it's not the best way to do uh an exam or to do this but it might be the only way for you to do this okay so if you're having difficulty understanding some part of the speaking because of difficult vocabulary and or grammar pay attention to the emphasis of words by deflection and inflection the voice going up sorry i should say down here that's deflection okay and inflection means the voice going up uh the reason for this is that emphasized words are often the answer okay let me um try to show this or prove this to you with this question all right everybody following me so far so everybody is on the same page okay so you're having difficulty you're not understanding the words um you're missing this part and what's key here is that you try to catch where the deflection or inflection is and then write down that word in your notes so write down the word that is being inflected or deflected okay all right is everybody um is everybody following me here okay so far yeah it looks like jenny and paulo are on the same page um let me let me show you what i mean by this okay all right all right um so um here uh again the question is what description does the guest give uh his uh book okay and um let me go back to the audio here for a second okay so somewhere around here in the beginning uh let me play this for you and listen to when they're talking about like the content of the book you're going to hear the man say and a rather radical one and there's a deflection there there's a very clear deflection there he goes in a rather radical one and you're going to hear that so listen for that deflection okay everyone our next guest is the curator of a major art gallery in the city who has just released his second book on the virtues of art we're pleased to have mr edgar patterson here today welcome to the show sir thank you for having me on it's a pleasure to be here and please call me edgar edgar of course now in your first book published four years ago you focused on performance artwork such as plays musical concerts films and other such works your second book is a little closer to home for you it concerns purely creative fine art well yes it deals with the aesthetic virtue of different painting styles okay so give our viewers a quick rundown on what your book is about does it make an argument i mean does your book take a position on a certain issue in the world of art okay so here's the question so here's where the uh interviewer is going okay so does it take a position in the world of art so what what is the book about right like what is the focus of the book and now listen for the response from the author yes my book does take a position and a rather radical one so did everybody hear that he goes yes my book does take a position in a rather radical one and he deflects right so that's the point of his statement you know from his deflection in english english has a lot of intonation and intonation is used to emphasize key points okay and a lot of these questions are asking about the key points that are being stated in the conversation so if you listen for those inflections and deflections you can figure out the key point from that deflection okay i'll play that one more time just so you can hear that deflection once again okay here we go so give our viewers a quick rundown on what your book is about does it make an argument i mean does your book take a position on a certain issue in the world of art yes my book does take a position and a rather radical one the main thesis so you hear that deflection right and a rather radical one [Music] it's like that's the end of my sentence okay so that's how it works all right so pay attention to those so um that's just kind of a good tip even if you are not sure what's going on you're not sure of the words and write that down so you might not get the perfect spelling but because it's multiple choice it doesn't matter you'll be able to find that oh yeah that was the word that he deflected okay all right so it looks like many of you now have that clear so remember that in the future so don't give up even if the vocabulary is a bit tricky don't give up just listen to those inflections and deflections okay um pachu yadav is saying it's a good technique but it's difficult to identify the stresses of words and conversations but you good point make sure to practice identifying where stresses are there's a lot of exercises in english where you have to identify where the stress is in the sentence so if you haven't done this before and thank you pachu for mentioning that okay so if you have not done any identify the stress in the sentence exercises make sure to do this before your ielts exam okay um i'm sure if you google something like uh like uh stress and intonation listening exercises uh and you might even do something like pdfs um you'll probably come up with quite a few hits where you can practice this and it's usually done with little check marks like you have to put a little check mark so when you see the stress like if you have not uh done um and identify the stress so identify so there would be the stress there so usually what you do is you put a little check mark above the words that are being stressed okay so that's how that works but you can you can do that you can google that and there will be definitely exercises it's a common kind of exercise especially in some advanced english okay all right okay let's keep going here before you all forget what your answers were for this listening part okay so the correct answer for 22 was b and a rather radical one uh number 23 which statement best describes the intention theory of art now you eventually do need to understand uh some of this vocabulary of course if you don't understand any of it it's difficult and intention here was very important intention means to do on purpose so you do something because you want to do it okay so which statement best describes the intention theory of art or we could almost call it the purposeful theory of art the author creates an artwork's meaning the meaning comes from the viewer there's no meaning outside of the viewer's intention so um there's a piece of art okay the piece of art is a stickman and you have the author okay or the painter who painted this piece of art okay and you have the viewer who is looking at this piece of art so who gives this piece of art the meaning is it the author or is it the viewer viewer looks kind of like a one-eyed alien um so who gives it okay all right carlos yeah you have to come up with your own answer for this first and then pick the right one the intention theory says that it is the author who gives the meaning to the artwork so um a is the correct one okay so this is the common belief okay in the world of art that art is uh given meaning by the artist all right so that is uh the intention theory of art and that's the common theory of art so here the correct answer was a and yes for multiple choice questions it's very important that you're listening for the answer in the audio instead of staring at the options hoping that one of them is going to jump into your face okay that's not effective because there's a lot of information here and if you're just focusing here you'll actually miss the information when the audio gives the information okay so um yeah so be very very careful okay and what is the biggest problem with this intention theory so as long as you understood what the intention theory means that the author gives the meaning okay um what's a big problem with that so if we look at the mona lisa that was painted by leonardo da vinci uh 500 years ago and we're trying to figure out why the mona lisa is smiling uh what's the biggest problem with that okay well the biggest problem is we often yeah we don't have access to the mind of the artist leonardo da vinci is obviously no longer alive and uh we have no idea what he was thinking right so we all have these kinds of theories of why mona lisa is smiling the way that she's smiling in the painting but we really don't know we would have to ask da vinci why he painted that smile okay so we don't have access to the mind of the artist right so again the correct answer is a now if you missed these like if you missed answering uh question 23 and 24 again don't panic because if you understand a little bit later the intention and subjective theory of art then you can come back and answer these correctly after so just because you miss a multiple choice question doesn't mean that you can't get it later on so don't panic does everybody catch that that's kind of a new tip that i haven't given you okay enough good job with a enough pete just once i don't know what happened there did you hit the enter key like a thousand times or something don't do that okay please just enter your responses only once okay so again if you miss an answer in the listening do not panic you can likely come back later and answer it correctly from the information that you hear later on when i did the arts exam that actually happened to me so there were a couple of questions that i wasn't 100 sure on or that i missed a little bit it's very difficult to get all of them correct um and i did get a band 9 in my listening section so i got at least 39 out of 40. um and the way that i came the way that i was sure about all of my answers virtually is that i just kept listening and then later on i was like okay based on this information that previous questions answer was okay so don't panic okay don't panic all right you might be able to solve it later on okay um now we have some fill in the blanks here all right uh according to the host one of the main goals in art critique is to understand the paintings what so the host says this word like a hundred times hopefully everybody got this all you really had to do was listen to word repetition so word stress inflection deflection and word repetition gives you a lot of the answers okay so according to the host one of the main goals in critiquing art art critique means just giving an opinion okay critique means your opinions is to understand a painting's meaning that's right lynn that's right carolina yeah it's the meaning okay all right uh fatima i am paying attention back ruse i'm paying attention so keep giving your answers you're fun enough preet good yeah meaning rashika very nice yeah so yeah and you don't have to go too far when we're looking at art pieces we're like oh what is that what does it mean and we're like oh it's a painting of a dog chasing a cat okay number 26 the guest responds that art is not something what we want it to be um but that we must also participate in critique and interpretation so art is not and he uses a specific word here uh says mainly loshy beck hello get in there okay jyoti says merely mohit and carolina agree yeah merely means just and you really just had to catch this word merely yeah merely it's not just what we want it to be but that we must also participate in the critique so if it's a dog chasing a cat because um the cat has a funny tail according to the viewer then that's our participation okay so the word there was merely so it's meaning and merely all right here we had a table completion and now we can see these categories so you see the situation you see the intention theory means the author the author's meaning and the subjective meaning theory so subjective meaning theory can almost say the viewers meaning okay so the interpretation of the author and the interpretation of the viewer okay so the critic thinks critically about an artwork and judges it to have no meaning the intention theory so the author's meaning the critic is right or wrong and here according to the subjective meaning theory the critic is right so uh if they thought long and hard about it and they say well it just looks like a blue smear on a piece of paper then it's right and we can see that it's a 50 50. so even if you're like i'm having difficulty with this it's either wrong or right so it's wrong or right or right or wrong so you've got a 50 50. paula reese says the critic is wrong yeah because according to the intention theory the author always gives it a meaning so if i do this and you say okay well adrian that's got no meaning according to the subjective theory you're right but according to intention theory you're wrong because i say that this is lake ontario and if you look at a map lake ontario kind of looks like that so you didn't know that you have no idea but according to the intention theory you're wrong because i can give that meaning okay i can say that that's lake ontario okay all right um so the critic does not think critically about an artwork and judges it to have no meaning um critic is wrong okay and um here the critic is according to the subjective theory so the critic does not think critically uh number 28 wrong yeah so this author uh says that uh one very important part of the subjective meaning theory is that if you're looking at a painting you have to sit there for a while you have to look at it and maybe uh some of you would say well yeah that's why this kind of uh drawing uh by adrian who's from canada um has meaning because maybe he's drawing something of the canadian landscape that looks like that right so you have to think critically about it okay i'm just making that up but that's the idea okay um critic understands the author's meaning the critic is something the critic is right keep it simple it's a happy stick man does everybody else see a happy stick man bhavish kumari says right and right you are joe t harwinder yeah everybody sees the happy stickman so you're right i'm right we're all right okay so wrong wrong right this question or these questions seem tricky and really difficult and some of you are probably nodding your heads right now going yeah yeah those are yeah those are some tough tough questions um but really if you look at them carefully and you understand this concept of intention theory and subjective meaning theory um then it's actually not that bad it makes a lot of sense okay so okay um we have question 30. an art critic is viewing a painting for the first time and wants to critique it using the subjective meaning theory it means that they are looking at it and trying to understand it as the viewer determine whether the critic has satisfied the constraints of the theory with regard to the critique of the painting write the correct letter a b okay the critic has satisfied the demands of the theory so they do what they should the critic has not satisfied the demand so they don't do what they should the critic looks at the painting for a moment and concludes from his initial impression that the painting lacks aesthetic value lactic aesthetic value is just a very tricky way to say it's not beautiful okay aesthetics is the uh concept of beauty so lac meaning not having beauty value it's not beautiful so again here's my happy stick man i'm gonna give it um some nice big shoes a wavy hand and a round hand um and uh you look at this for two seconds and you say hey adrian that's that's ugly um have you satisfied the demand of the theory or not okay all right yeah mal says it's the diplomatic way of saying it's ugly um so in this case the answer is b and you've done a very good job mystical web because this theory says that you have to actually really look at it and if you're really looking at this very carefully you will notice that it's very very beautiful okay it's a beautiful beautiful drawing of a big nosed clown with great ears and these funny shoes and there we go it's it's a very beautiful drawing now you realize that yeah that's a beautiful drawing so that way you would have satisfied it but just by looking at it for a moment you really haven't satisfied that and so uh there we go all right so the correct answer was that okay everyone so that's part three let's get right into part four we're going to do part four nice and smooth and nice and quick as part four goes part four there are no breaks you have to answer all ten questions in a series and then we'll add up our answers and we'll see how we did especially for those students who were here yesterday as well okay all right so here we go everyone let's get into part four okay i'm going to play the audio again don't put your answers in the chat wait until the end we'll share them together here we go everyone with part four of this listening exam the last part we'll turn to section four take some time to look at questions 31 to 14. listening section 4 you will hear a lecture about road infrastructure and its connection to economic prosperity now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40. roads have been connected to economic prosperity for millennia the first roads were thought to have been created by repeated animal grazing and then utilized by humans as ready-made routes for travel between adjacent lands these roads evidence for which exists going back 12 000 years were likely not connected so much to economic prosperity as to survival itself these roads allowed hunter-gatherers faster access to greater swathes of land the first paved roads were used in ancient egypt about 4500 years ago historians theorized that these roads were the first roads used for trade in our history these roads also would have been used to transport items such as building supplies though rivers were much more practical thoroughfares for the transport of goods certain goods from certain areas could not be transported by boat and this necessitated the creation of roads for economic reasons the silk road though not precisely a road is one of the most famous trade routes in history composed of many types of road the silk road stretched from china and thailand in the east all the way through the middle east and terminating in western europe these different routes of the silk road brought myriad items from the east to the west including of course silk this brought economic prosperity to china and surrounding regions for many centuries the silk road was so valuable for commerce that it persisted for over 1500 years the roman empire was the first major manufacturer of a system of roads at its height the roman empire contained 29 major roads totaling over 75 000 kilometers that's enough road to go around the world twice notably this is almost the precise total length of the modern united states interstate highway system these roads connected the vast lands of the empire and brought an intertwined economic prosperity to the diverse regions of the empire furthermore the roads were used for military transportation giving the romans a massive strategic advantage over their less advanced adversaries through the middle ages roads continued to be built and used for trade and commerce though technological advances were virtually non-existent though tar-based roads were used briefly in the arab empire in the 8th century this technology would not take off for another millennium today our roads and highways connect our communities countries and economies they are the modern trade routes by which we are all connected to each other the modern world would not be possible without the vast expanse of road infrastructure one interesting development in the history of road infrastructure was the advent of underground systems the first such system the london underground opened in 1863 such subterranean routes greatly increase the volume of human life that a city can sustain thus increasing that city's economic output london would not be a fraction of the economic powerhouse it is today without its underground rail system the same can be said for virtually every other major economic center underground systems are the next generation of economic generators while roads move goods which create economic prosperity underground systems move human capital which creates further economic prosperity what is the next great advance in ground transportation some futurists have theorized about a system of tubes propelled by air pressure or other means which would transport individuals vast distances in short times such a system could move humans at unprecedented speeds perhaps with an economic footprint far less than that of subterranean networks such tubes could even be built underwater imagine such a system connecting new york to london or tokyo to san francisco it would be incredible whatever lies ahead for humanity roads have gotten us to where we are and they are very likely to play a prominent role in getting us to where we will be next in one form or another that is the end of section four you will now have half a minute to check your answers and again students always use that half minute to check your answers all right let's go through the answers uh together now um here we go so uh write no more than two words for each answer filling in the blanks nice and quick uh what phenomenon created the first roads and this is still happening today if you love nature if you go to parks and such you might actually see some of this okay so what created the first roads for humans to use in our ancestry harvinder schwann says animal grazing yeah so animals usually bigger animals like deer and bison and elephants and such just i'm chewing their way through the forests uh created and of course stomping their feet created these roads so animal grazing grazing is when you see animals chewing the grass moving along eating the grass okay animal grazing all right very good it's not repeated animal grazing bishop because it's no more than two words if you write three words you'll get it wrong so be really careful okay all right animal grazing it is uh the roads were necessary for the transportation of many goods what was a much more practical thoroughfare thoroughfare meaning transportation method for the transport of goods in ancient times so yeah roads were good but a long long time ago especially think of egypt the nile or europe the danube china the yangzi river okay um or the amazon river in central america the tigris in central asia okay rivers right rivers yeah so rivers plural rivers rivers were much more common very good okay again if you visualize this you can get it all right um which of these roads total approximately 75 000 kilometers the united states interstate system ancient egyptian road network ancient roman road network the silk road i'll give you a hint it's only two of these they had they have to be huge basically right so is it a united states and roman roads b all of them or c uh 1 3 and four the correct answer is yeah a okay so united states interstate system and the ancient roman road network lots of road 75 000. so a is the correct answer there you just had to listen to that all right what were the two benefits so again 2 34 35 of the roman road system um economic prosperity for the city of rome oh that's a weird city of rome no it's the empire of rome uh be increased mobility of the roman armies that definitely sounds like a good one right moving around the military um rapid technological advances the importation of luxury goods from china broad economic prosperity for the empire carolina says it's b and e increased roman armies and economic prosperity for the empire uh jyoti agrees with that and d uh no it was more than just that rome uh traded with egypt traded with the arabic nations uh traded in a lot of different directions traded with the prussians so not just china the correct answers here are definitely b and e okay so if you got those you get two if you only got one you get one if you get none you get none okay here um you have to choose the correct letters so applies to ancient roads so roads from centuries past applies to the subway system so the metro the tube applies to future transportation so going into the future star trek uh the teleportation and such d applies to all of them past present future subways okay uh increases economic activity ancient roads subways future transportation system 36 which one a b c or all of the above d d we just talked about the roman roads being used for economic activity subways for sure they move human economic activity right businessman business women to and from work um and i'm sure in the future we're going to be transporting money through roads right so a or sorry d is the right answer here okay all of them um okay responsible for the growth of modern cities so modern cities getting bigger new york uh tokyo budapest which one ancient roads modern cities man that doesn't make sense applies to the subway system that looks pretty good applies to future transportation when we don't know that because it hasn't come yet so b is correct here okay logic logic everyone uh used for military transportation ancient roads used for military transportation yes we talked about the roman armies uh subway systems used for military transportation systems okay has anybody seen any uh soldiers on the subway hanging on where are you going i'm going to war no i haven't seen that thankfully it'd be a horrible idea too all the enemy has to do is just collapse the tunnel and there go the soldiers so uh probably have has happened i'm pretty sure soldiers have been transported in secret underground but not to the best of our
