part 3 in just a minute uh before we start a couple of really important requests number one if it's quiet for you please turn up the audio on your end i'm using a headset microphone and a nice bose speaker but of course it's not the same as if you're listening directly from the website or with your own equipment so use a headset turn up the volume i max volume on my side if there's something wrong with the audio let me know so i can stop it should be okay though and uh the second really important request is please students please do not write answers in the chat they can confuse the other viewers we will go through the answers together at the end so put your answers into a separate document or write them on a separate piece of paper not into the chat okay all right so here we go with some listening practice i'm just going to hop over to our website here jump into our my student account and in the my student account we have lots and lots of goodies including the ielts audio cds and this is test number four and track number uh three so get your uh listening and thinking caps on in english and here we go with part three now turn to section three take some time to look at questions 21 to 26. listening section three you will hear a panel discussion on the ethics of zoos now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26 welcome everyone to this very special evening tonight's speakers are two distinguished scholars dr henry gergen from the university of edinburgh is a philosopher and animal rights advocate dr gloria mesto from trinity college dublin is an animal conservationist welcome to you both the topic of tonight's discussion is the ethics of zoos here is the fundamental question is it right to house animals in zoos or should they live freely in nature instead as an animal rights advocate and theorist i have clear views on this question to me it is fundamentally wrong to lock up animals for human enjoyment i believe that in many important respects animals are persons and should be afforded many of the rights that human beings have chief among these is a right to liberty and the freedom to achieve one's desired ends in life clearly these rights are abrogated by imprisonment within the zoo moreover in many cases animals in zoos are treated inhumanely and are subject to confinement in extremely small spaces while regulation of zoos may help mitigate some of these problems i maintain that zoos are fundamentally unethical i certainly understand dr gergen's position and i do agree on some of his points most notably that zoos must be held to higher standards of animal treatment than they are currently but my colleague fails to consider an important point in favor of zoos the conservation of species is an incredibly important endeavor and zoos are on the front line in the battle to save hundreds of species of animals around the world zoos often employ some of the leading experts in the field who are best equipped to carry out this important task it is for this reason that i believe zoos are justified though they may not be perfect i believe zoos and the experts they employ play a critical role in the conservation of species and therefore are ethically permissible dr gergen do you have a rebuttal to that point yes certainly well i appreciated dr master's position as a conservationist and i do appreciate the work she and others like her do for animal welfare around the world i musters agree with her while zoos certainly do play a role in animal conservation it is not because they are zoos that they play this role dr kurgan can you clarify that point for the audience of course what i mean is this it is not inherent in the idea of a zoo that they conserve animals the notions are separable you can have an animal conservation effort that is not a zoo just as you can have a zoo that has nothing to do with conservation so while it is true that some zoos act as animal preserves this does not justify the existence of zoos since we could easily separate out these animal preserves from zoos themselves fair point but such animal preserves would still have the associated problems of poor treatment and unsuitable living conditions yes but at least it would be in an effort towards a positive end the animals would not be captive forever and they would not be captive merely for a human audience you now have some time to look at questions 27 to 30. now listen to the rest of the interview and answer questions 27 to 30. what about the enjoyment and education that zoos provide especially the young people perhaps individuals like yourselves were inspired to become animal advocates by attending a zoo when you were a child that is a really interesting point i wasn't inspired by going to a zoo when i was a child what do you think dr gergen it is an interesting thought what if the positive outcomes caused by inspiring people like us to do good in the future outweigh the harms done to zoo animals i'm not sure i would have to think about it more but it's certainly an interesting question well thank you i'll take that as a compliment in closing i'm not sure how much progress we've made but is it safe to say that we can all agree that zoos at the very least must do their best to improve the treatment of animals and the conditions in which the animals live i would certainly agree with that as i'm sure my friends would also agree that is the end of section three you will now have half a minute to check your answers and students use that half minute to check your answers make sure you didn't make any spelling mistakes or some uh mistakes reading the question for example those are some easy catches at this point we'll go through uh these um answers together now uh and uh before we get into it um just a quick question what do you think were the accents that you heard in this audio so what were the accents for these speakers all three of them are native english speakers and hint all three of them have different accents can anybody guess what accents they heard here so this is just a question before we look at the questions so what were the accents in the audio here what do you think so somebody says australian tamar khan nope there was no australian tamr khan but you're close alex definitely no irish uh sarah deep one of them was british the host yeah the host was british and i'm still waiting for the other two you haven't guessed it there was no australian okay no scottish no irish billy very good billy's like was that a new zealand accent it was okay so it was a new zealand also called a kiwi accent so new zealand yeah also known as the kiwi accent that was dr gergen and the other doctor was a canadian okay so the male professor was a new zealand accent the female professor was a canadian so here you heard a british a kiwi and a canadian accent uh students be ready for these kinds of variations in accents in the ielts so keep in mind that although the ielts is mostly in the british accent and english you can hear other accents in the listening uh also this is just a little bit of a side note you may have a speaking interview with a non-british accent okay so yes definitely um focus on uh the um british accent for the most part so be very familiar with the british accent but definitely listen to a bit of canadian american those are the easier to understand also some kiwi also some australian you probably won't hear any heavy irish or heavy scottish accents those can be very difficult so i think they kind of stay away from that but you can definitely hear australian canadian new zealand accents as well okay so be really really careful so here you heard three of them okay the new zealand one is probably a little bit trickier all right um let's get into some answers here so we had to match the professor with their university we had dr henry gergen who was the man and we had dr gloria mesto where was dr henry gergen from so which one is the answer for number one is it a or is it b here you kind of had a 50 50. so you're saying number one is a and that means number two is b i think many of you said that that's kind of the easier one there and indeed one was a and two was b so uh in spaces uh for 21 okay notice that this is one question so you had to do it like this okay in your answer sheet this is the paper-based exam you'd have to do it like this number one a number two that's how you should put it so it's really really clear if you put a b you'll get it right because that order is correct okay but just to be on the safe side do it like that okay if you write ba you'll get it wrong all right so careful careful and that's for question 21 don't accidentally put those in spaces one and two on your answer sheet okay not to be confused all right um so now questions 22 to 24. so here you had three questions okay these go into three spaces in the answer sheet in any order and here you had to listen for what are the three arguments given against zoos and that was mostly by dr gergen with the new zealand accent so you had animals are treated inhumanely animals are persons the conservation of species animals should not be in prison animals are human beings and should be treated equally they are fundamentally wrong what were the correct answers here and if you got the answers a b and f then you got them correctly so what this person says is animals are treated in humanely animals are persons okay and they are fundamentally wrong he does not talk about conservation of species that doesn't make sense because it's a positive let me give you a couple of strategies i think that was probably quite challenging for some students so i'll give you a couple of strategies for these multi-multiple choice okay uh it's really difficult to listen and pick out the answers for these while you listen okay that's my first tip here so uh what i call these and others as well is the multi uh multiple choice questions okay where you have to choose choose three or more from seven or eight choices okay so this one really gets students and many students lose one or two marks on this so here are a couple of tips okay tip it's very difficult to catch these while looking at the choices so instead take notes of what you hear and use logic okay so uh if you listen carefully here you could actually hear the person say animals are persons and we can see this in the transcripts i'll show you that so that's at the back of the book it's on page 115 in this case and let me let me get to this here so here you see the script and this is what dr henry gergen is actually saying so dr henry gergen says i have clear views on this question to me it is fundamentally wrong to lock up animals for human enjoyment so here on your question sheet you should write something like fundamentally wrong i wouldn't even write the word wrong i would just write an x x meaning wrong okay learn these quick ways to take notes so fundamentally wrong okay i would write that down okay and then uh he continues by i believe that in many important respects animals are persons so animal person okay you can write down that note really quickly okay because you can hear that he's talking against zoos all right um and then here he says a little bit later on moreover in many cases animals in zoos are treated inhumanely in humanely okay so if you're listening and you're quick and you're thinking quickly you'll get these notes now let me go back to the questions here and you'll see what i mean uh by logic as well okay so this is what you want to do because even as a as a native speaker who's teaching i'll sometimes i find these questions a little bit challenging okay to get it in real time just staring at these choices so here we have them again so if this were my question sheet in this case i suppose it is i would have these three notes and now i can match these up later okay so remember that you have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet you can answer these later right so you can go okay all right so i see the inhumanely i see the persons and i see the fundamentally wrong okay so that's the notes part the other part of it the logic part is conservation of species it's not something that zoos usually do so that's logically wrong okay that's a logical mistake so you shouldn't be choosing that as long as you understand the words you shouldn't be choosing that now students this is part three so don't expect to just match words that you hear keywords it doesn't work like that for part three and part four you have to understand most of what you're listening and most of the questions to get them correct otherwise it's just a game of luck there is no keyword matching in part three and part four okay so you have to at least somewhat understand it okay uh animals should not be in prison that it makes sense but you don't hear the word prison right so that's where your notes come in helpful animals are human beings and should be treated equally animals are not human beings so again that's another logical so you can actually get uh two of the questions out of the seven and now it's just down to five so logic helps you to eliminate two questions okay and since the order doesn't matter you at least get a couple of them right okay for these types of questions the paper-based exam is definitely a little bit easier than the computer-based exam because in the computer-based exam you are choosing in real time and it's definitely a little bit trickier to get these correct in my opinion okay so for this one paper-based has a little bit of an advantage in in my opinion okay all right um so again the correct answers were a b and f okay so remember those tips all right okay uh let's keep going here so this question it was 25 to 27 you had to fill in the blanks with no more than two words and or a number um and here it was interesting because it actually this question was broken into the two parts of the listening and in some cases that can happen so number 25 in order to improve conditions for zoo animals zoos must be held to something of animal treatment so what was the answer here so in order to improve conditions the conditions for zoo animals zoos must be held to what sarah of deep says higher standard yeah and here because you don't see the article ah or on it has to be plural okay so it's higher standards okay so here you have an adjective here you have a noun here you have no article ah or on okay so that makes it clear that this is a plural okay s so remember that especially when you're transferring your answers to the answer sheet or when you're looking for that 30 seconds to review your answers look for the articles when your answers include nouns okay so that's just another quick tip here to maybe save some marks okay so for short answers and fill in the blanks make sure to look for articles if you don't see them and the answer is a noun it will be a plural okay if you do see it obviously the opposite the answer is singular okay so you can easily catch a couple of marks that way so be really really careful okay for those all right make sense hopefully all right um let's keep rolling so here we go with a little bit more uh giving answers to the next questions for these fill in the blanks so here uh again we had higher standards higher standards okay and then number 26 while zoos do conserve animal life dr gergen argues that this function could also be performed by animal something what was the answer there animal what nobody has it so far um what is it nope it's not animal conversation alex con sorry conservation it's not animal conservation um these uh kind of special places where it's natural it's uh using fences to stop people and maybe predators from attacking the animals what are those called neurogen wall that's close it's close not quite the right word billy very good it's preserves preserves billy preserves okay know this collocation animal preserves are pieces or areas of land that are protected for animals to live freely think about the elephant preserves in africa okay so in africa you have these nice large elephant preserves where the elephants are protected from human poachers especially okay hunters and even by armed military all right they're called preserves i think you have these in india as well for bengal tigers you have animal preserves where the bengal tigers live in a protected area that's guarded from poachers and so on if i'm not mistaken all right so um yeah preserves again no article plural preserves right okay yeah national parks are considered preserves alex that's right okay uh next one 27 enjoyment and something are two key positive attributes of zeus this one you can probably even guess even if you didn't hear it uh just thinking logically so when you go to a zoo you have fun looking at the animals the monkeys the wolves the parrots the eagles and you also read about them and learn about them right so clearly it's education okay if you miss a question just think logically right again what do i do when i go to a zoo i enjoy myself with people with the company family maybe that i'm there with and also i learn about animals and their habitats and what they do their behaviors while looking at them so education is the clear answer there okay so far so good everyone now uh let's keep going here with part three a few more questions uh here we had some multiple choice again for multiple choice think about the answer don't just stare at the options okay that's a very big problem that many students uh make is that the big mistake that they make is they stare at the answers hoping that the answer is going to just kind of pop out and hit them in the face and say oh i'm the right answer look at me um no that doesn't always happen so uh just a quick tip with multiple choice i frequently get questions from students of can you give me some tips for multiple choice questions so mcq in the listening section here you go firstly do not hope that the answer will jump out at you from the choices okay that's what a lot of students do and that's not an effective strategy so instead listen so change uh the questions to statements and listen for the answer often they are paraphrased especially for part three and four often they are paraphrased so listen for the closest match okay that's the trick all right that's what you want to do so here the question is according to dr gergen does the value of inspiring young people outweigh the negative aspects of zeus so i changed this into a statement so dr gergen says that he is not sure whether or not the uh zoos inspire young people it's more important than the negative aspects or he thinks that it is or he thinks that it's not so i kind of change it to these options as i'm reviewing this okay and then i'm listening for that now in this one you would actually get kind of lucky because he says i'm not sure so again there's a little bit of paraphrasing because he is unsure is not exactly the same as i'm not sure but he says i'm not sure i'd have to check that okay so the answer here was c good kush good be back yeah you got it right at c again the strategy here is listen for the answer then look for the choice listen for the answer then look for the choice don't look for the choice and hope to get the answer very important okay so listen for the answer look for the choice don't hope for the opposite doesn't work all right um next couple 29 what is the interesting question okay so what is the interesting question um zoos are whether or not zoos are ethical whether the inspiration value of zoos outweighs their negative aspects or whether enjoyment and inspiration negate the importance of zoos a b or c here the answer was b so dr gergen says well i'd have to think about that more that's an interesting question now when you see these colons like this here it means you're going to hear exactly those words and you have to listen exactly for those words so these quotation marks means that it's a direct quote okay quotation marks are used for direct quotes okay so when you hear see the direct quote that means you're going to hear exactly these words so you have to carefully listen for those words in direct quotes okay don't miss that and then you'll hear him hear the man say uh well that's an interesting question whether their inspirational value outweighs their negative impact okay and then last one here question 30 what do the guests agree on so what do the guests agree on last one zoo conditions need to be improved zoos are unethical the inspiration value of zeus is unethical okay very last one number 30. says egg levitiator says a sammy our member agrees that it's a and you are correct so they both agree that zoo conditions can always be better so a is the right answer there and hopefully you did quite well all right um so that's just a lot of tips now probably you also realize something interesting that here the second half of part three was quite fast and um you actually kind of heard the answer for 28 29 and 30 and even 27 quite quickly uh that happens for part three and part four especially okay so keep that important tip in mind and i'm gonna write that up before we listen to part four okay so tip here's a tip especially in part three and four of the listening section some answers come quite slowly while others come quite quickly so stay sharp okay you can't kind of wander off or think about other ideas you really have to stay sharp because sometimes the answers are like answer answer answer and then suddenly it's like so sometimes they come really fast sometimes they come really slow they're not it's not like paced it's not like some students think oh there's an answer coming every 20 seconds no okay it's not like that sometimes you have two three answers coming within 10 seconds and then you don't have the next answer coming for another 25 30 seconds so uh be careful all right be careful and that's especially true for part three and four in part one the answers are quite evenly spaced because it's measuring lower level and it would be really difficult at the lower level of english to catch all the quick answers so part one part two the spacing the timing of the answers it's a little bit more incremental but not for part three and four okay all right so let's get into part four so again for part four i'm gonna play the audio please put your answers onto a separate piece of paper or in a separate sheet we're going to get right into part four and then we'll go through the answers together after students so here's part four coming up get ready for it no break in part four it's seamless it's continuous okay i'm just gonna hop back over to our website here and start the audio again if you have trouble hearing the audio just turn up the volume use a headset alright here we go now turn to section four take some time to look at questions 31 to 40. listening section 4 you will hear a professor discussing the migration of loggerhead turtles now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40. it's late april on the south atlantic coast of north america and one of the most remarkable journeys in all of nature is about to begin the loggerhead turtle whose natural habitat is the open ocean has to seek dry land to lay its eggs the sandy beaches of florida provide a perfect nesting spot with soft sand that can be dug up by the persistent flippers of the female loggerhead over the course of the next three months hundreds of thousands of eggs will be laid on such beaches many of these eggs will become the victim of predators but many will survive to hatching which occurs two months after being laid hatching marks the beginning of an incredible journey for the loggerhead turtle almost immediately upon hatching the young turtles known as hatchlings at this point head for the open ocean the ocean while full of its own dangers and predators provides a relative safe haven for the hatchlings away from many of the predators that live near the shoreline these young turtles embark upon a journey that will take them upwards of 13 000 kilometers around the north atlantic many animals make large and incredible journeys but what makes the loggerhead turtle's migration so notable is the speed at which the animal moves while many birds species make similar journeys they move at velocities much faster than the loggerhead turtle this slow-moving beast travels at the remarkably sluggish pace of only three-quarters of a kilometer per hour this means it will take the turtle a minimum of seventeen thousand hours to complete its migratory journey not even taking into account stops for feeding and sleep to put that number in perspective seventeen thousand hours is approximately two years of non-stop swimming that the loggerhead turtle makes this journey alone makes it all the more impressive from birth to adolescence to adulthood the loggerhead turtle is a solitary traveler but how does it know where to go doesn't it need a parent to help it know the route this is where the loggerhead becomes even more fascinating recent research tells us the loggerhead uses the magnetic field of the earth to determine its migration route because the earth's magnetic field differs in each location around the world the loggerhead turtle can use it as a kind of innate roadmap illuminating the way to where they need to be one example of this is the behavior they exhibit when they encounter the particular magnetic field off the coast of portugal instead of continuing gnolled waters of northern europe they sense the magnetic field and turn around instead heading for the warmer waters of northwestern africa and it is not just that the loggerhead turtle has a sort of innate compass they are able to determine with surprising precision their latitude and longitude they know exactly when to zig and zag to optimize their migratory pattern even with their incredible ability to know where they are and where they need to be the survival rate of migratory loggerhead turtles is incredibly low in fact only about one in four thousand hatchlings makes it back to the beach in eastern florida to mate and lay its eggs however that any makers at all is an incredible achievement and one of the great natural wonders of navigation that is the end of section four you will now have half a minute to check your answers all right students and again check your answers now i see a couple of students thought that was a little bit fast but that's still natural normal english okay and this is a professor giving a lecture in a class so uh in your university and college classes for those of you who will be studying in english be ready because sometimes professors speak this fast or even faster they have a lot of material to cover they want to get through it all in the class and they'll give presentations that are just as fast as this sometimes even faster so you have to be able to catch it also in schools in universities colleges in canada us australia uk not all of the information on your exams is found on the internet or in your textbooks some of it is coming directly from the lecture so if you're not catching the information and taking down notes you'll lose marks on your exam so be ready for this kind of faster paced english yet still natural english all right let's go through these answers uh together okay together so uh here we go the loggerhead turtle so we have the picture of the turtle here has to seek dry land to lay its eggs the sandy beaches of something provide the perfect location for nesting uh niraj narwal says that word is florida omar ashraf and savardeep agree and it is it's florida capital f it's the name of an american state florida beautiful state home to disney world and universal studios so absolutely florida all right now sometimes people say that oh part four was actually easier for me than part three that can be true sometimes because part four is often a monologue it's one person talking and part three is two or three people talking so part four can seem a little bit easier at times but be careful it might not be all right after hatching the loggerhead turtle immediately heads for the ocean the ocean is safer than the shore because it has fewer something so fewer what yeah i'm unjudged very good all lower case here so it's predators right and it's plural and it's uh small p okay again learn your common nouns versus your uh proper nouns the turtles embark on a journey that will take them something kilometers around the atlantic how many kilometers are these turtles swimming across the atlantic what's going on here how far do these amazing creatures swim jaw says sir thirteen thousand our member samuel and sammy agree and you're right it is thirteen thousand so it's thirteen thousand kilometers okay now the fastest way to write 13 000 is 13 k but because of the kilometers i would write the zeros okay so make sure to write the zeros if you have a comma that's okay as well right so thirteen thousand yeah uh don't use the word niraj narwhal because it's not thirteen thousands it's just thirteen thousand if you write thirteen thousands like this uh you'll get that wrong because there is no s when we have it as a noun so adjective noun no plural okay so it's thirteen thousand not thousands so careful easier to do this you don't make that mistake you'll get it correct all right let's keep rolling along here so while long migratory journeys are fairly commonplace in nature what makes the loggerheads journey especially notable is the extremely something pace it travels at samuel says that's sluggish yeah um it's a turtle it's not can't be fast i'm on color it's got to be sluggish okay um so very slow sluggish okay uh in english that's a snail okay like in spongebob squarepants gary is a snail uh when the snail has no house what's where'd my house go it's called a slug okay snail with a house know-how slug slug used as a verb to mean very slow sluggish sluggish okay sluggish means slow used as an adjective here or sorry as an ad yeah adjective sluggish pace yeah okay so snail has a house no house slug sluggish all right the entire journey is equal to approximately something of continuous swimming with no breaks number 35 yeah it's two years easiest way to write that learn abbreviations save yourself time especially with the fast audio in part four you have fast audio use an abbreviation for things like years kilometers and so on okay you symbols so don't write the word years out just two years just like that okay they'll take that answer okay let's keep going here uh we had a little bit more fill in the blanks as incredible as the loggerhead turtle's journey is what makes it even more impressive is that the loggerhead is a something traveler okay adjective coming in here samuel very good tamir khan very good solitary means it travels alone okay so solitary or another way that you could write it which is acceptable alone is not good alone won't work in here but you could write solo okay solo traveler solitary if any of you saw the uh series star wars one a very very famous character in star wars as han solo it's kind of a funny use of the word solo because han solo that character that usually flies around with just chewbacca he likes to be alone he doesn't like others bothering him so he's han solo okay so he's a solitary traveler all right traversing the open ocean on its own for years at a time scientific research has in recent years told us that it is through a connection with the earth's something that the turtles find their way around the ocean very good samuel tamir khan rashed very good jaha nicely done summer deep yeah magnetic field magnetic field so the earth's magnetic field absolutely nicely done okay um for example the turtles are able to sense something off the coast of so here it's definitely a location coast is like the beach or the shoreline so what's the answer for number 38 something off the coast of laugh out loud shotgun you can find speaking partners on our website ahelp.com for free uh be back yeah portugal very good but back portugal okay portugal omar ashraf nice yeah they sent something off the port coast of portugal and then they changed directions uh awesome uh so now a little bit more two more questions left uh possessing more than a simple compass the loggerhead can innately sense it something and longitude so uh here longitude is like this okay this is the earth and we of course have these lines as well in the center we have the equator in the north we have tropic of capricorn in the south we have tropic of cancer and we have all these other lines the equator the tropic of capricorn tropic of cancer are called your lines of latitude very good for all of those who got that so latitude latitude i'm sure many of you who study sciences have learned these words in english students knowing the words latitude and longitude if you're lost it can be really helpful especially if you're an adventure enthusiast if you like skiing sailboating these kinds of adventure sports hiking in the forest know these words latitude longitude because if somebody is trying to help you they don't speak your language they might use these words to identify location or coordinates okay so latitude longitude all right um last one inference type multiple choice question number 40 approximately what percentage of hatchlings make it back to the breeding ground in florida so how many of these amazing creatures these turtles make it back uh 0.025 2.5 or 25 percent correct answer is a sad but true the speaker says one in four thousand make it back to the beach uh one in four thousand is equal to point zero two five percent okay uh just keep in mind that at least probably a couple thousand of them have an amazing adventure okay so and some of them come back to complete that adventure what an amazing natural selection process that is for this species of turtle okay so one in four thousand i'm unjudged that's why it's that one all right um so students count up your answers uh if you were here in yesterday's class you can now add the two classes together and you can get your total out of 40 what did you get and i'll show you something cool here if you go to our websites you can actually change your raw score into um your band score i'll show you that on the website i just darken the screen so you can see the website okay so there you can see we have all of our goodies computer-based exams lesson videos and then at the bottom you have this score calculator there it is score calculator so if you open up that page you'll have this function for listening and academic reading okay and uh there you can type in i think the first one is the listening yeah so you can type in your raw score and um niron jar wall says 34 out of 40. so 34 is uh 7.5 okay uh johnny uh 27 is uh 6.5 okay not bad all right
