planning a presentation on nanotechnology ielts listening

Engnovate logo with text

TUTOR: Ah … come in, Russ.

RUSS: Thank you.

TUTOR: Now you wanted to consult me about your class presentation on nanotechnology – you’re due to give it in next week, aren’t you?

RUSS: That’s right. And I’m really struggling. I chose the topic because I didn’t know much about it and wanted to learn more, but now I’ve read so much about it, in a way there’s too much to say – I could talk for much longer than the twenty minutes I’ve been allocated. Should I assume the other students don’t know much, and give them a kind of general introduction, or should I try and make them share my fascination with a particular aspect?

TUTOR: You could do either, but you’ll need to have it clear in your own mind.

RUSS: Then I think I’ll give an overview.

TUTOR: OK. Now, one way of approaching this is to work through developments in chronological order.

RUSS: Uh-huh.

TUTOR: On the other hand, you could talk about the numerous ways that nanotechnology is being applied.

RUSS: You mean things like thin films on camera displays to make them water-repellent, and additives to make motorcycle helmets stronger and lighter.

TUTOR: Exactly. Or another way would be to focus on its impact in one particular area, say medicine, or space exploration.

RUSS: That would make it easier to focus. Perhaps I should do that.

TUTOR: I think that would be a good idea.

RUSS: Right. How important is it to include slides in the presentation?

TUTOR: They aren’t essential, by any means. And there’s a danger of tailoring what you say to fit whatever slides you can find. While it can be good to includes slides, you could end up spending too long looking for suitable ones. You might find it better to leave them out.

RUSS: I see. Another thing I was wondering about was how to start. I know presentations often begin with ‘First I’m going to talk about this, and then I’ll talk about that’, but I thought about asking the audience what they know about nanotechnology.

TUTOR: That would be fine if you had an hour or two for the presentation, but you might find that you can’t do anything with the answers you get, and it simply eats into the short time that’s available.

RUSS: So, maybe I should mention a particular way that nanotechnology is used, to focus people’s attention.

TUTOR: That sounds sensible.

RUSS: What do you think I should do next? I really have to plan the presentation today and tomorrow.

TUTOR: Well, initially I think you should ignore all the notes you’ve made, take a small piece of paper, and write a single short sentence that ties together the whole presentation: it can be something as simple as ‘Nanotechnology is already improving our lives’. Then start planning the content around that. You can always modify that sentence later, if you need to.

#1 South City Cycling Club Transcript

The Part 1 audio script of South City Cycling Club in Listening Test 2 is as follows:

JIM:                      Hello, South City Cycling Club.

WOMAN:             Oh, hi. Er … I want to find out about joining the club.

JIM:                      Right. I can help you there. I’m the club secretary and my name’s  Jim Hunter  (Example) .

WOMAN:             Oh, hi Jim.

JIM:                      So, are you interested in membership for yourself?

WOMAN:             That’s right.

JIM:                      OK. Well there are basically two types of adult membership. If you’re pretty serious about cycling, there’s the Full membership. That costs 260 dollars and  that covers you not just for ordinary cycling but also for races both here in the city and also in other parts of Australia .  (Q1)

WOMAN:             Right. Well, I’m not really up to that standard. I was more interested in just joining a group to do some cycling in my free time.

JIM:                      Sure. That’s why most people join. So, in that case you’d be better with the Recreational membership. That’s 108 dollars if you’re over 19, and 95 dollars if you’re under.

WOMAN:             I’m 25.

JIM:                      OK. It’s paid quarterly, and you can upgrade it later to the Full membership if you want to, of course. Now  both types of membership include the club fee of 20 dollars. They also provide insurance in case you have an accident  (Q2) , though we hope you won’t need that, of course.

WOMAN:             No. OK, well, I’ll go with the Recreational membership, I think. And that allows me to join in the club activities, and so on?

JIM:                      That’s right. And once you’re a member of the club, you’re also permitted to wear our kit when you’re out cycling. It’s green and white.

WOMAN:             Yes, I’ve seen cyclists wearing it. So, can I buy that at the club?

JIM:                      No, it’s made to order by a company in Brisbane.  You can find them online: they’re called Jerriz  (Q3) . That’s J-E-R-R-I-Z. You can use your membership number to put in an order on their website.

WOMAN:             OK. Now, can you tell me a bit about the rides I can do?

JIM:                      Sure. So we have training rides pretty well every morning, and they’re a really good way of improving your cycling skills as well as your general level of fitness, but they’re different levels. Level A is pretty fast – you’re looking at about 30 or 35 kilometres an hour.  If you can do about 25 kilometres an hour, you’d probably be level B  (Q4) , and then level C are the novices, who stay at about 15 kilometres per hour.

WOMAN:             Right. Well I reckon I’d be level B. So, when are the sessions for that level?

JIM:                      There are a couple each week. They’re both early morning sessions.  There’s one on Tuesdays, and for that one you meet at 5.30 am, and the meeting point’s the stadium  (Q5)  – do you know where that is?

WOMAN:             Yes, it’s quite near my home, in fact. OK, and how about the other one?

JIM:                       That’s on Thursdays. It starts at the same time, but they meet at the main gate to the park .  (Q6)

WOMAN:             Is that the one just past the shopping mall?

JIM:                      That’s it.

WOMAN:             So how long are the rides?

JIM:                      They’re about an hour and a half. So, if you have a job it’s easy to fit in before you go to work.  And the members often go somewhere for coffee afterwards   (Q7) , so it’s quite a social event.

WOMAN:             OK. That sounds good. I’ve only just moved to the city so I don’t actually know many people yet.

JIM:                      Well, it’s a great way to meet people.     

WOMAN:              And does each ride have a leader ?  (Q8)

JIM:                       Sometimes, but not always . But you don’t really need one; the group members on the ride support one another, anyway.

WOMAN:             How would we know where to go?

JIM:                       If you check the club website, you’ll see that the route for each ride is clearly marked. So you can just print that out   (Q9)  and take it along with you. It’s similar from one week to another, but it’s not always exactly the same.

WOMAN:             And what do I need to bring?

JIM:                      Well, bring a bottle of water, and your phone. You shouldn’t use if while you’re cycling, buy have it with you.

WOMAN:             Right.

JIM:                      And in winter, it’s well before sunrise when we set out,  so you need to make sure your bike’s got lights .  (Q10)

WOMAN:             That’s OK. Well, thanks Jim. I’d definitely like to join. So what’s the best way of going about it?

JIM:                      You can …

#2 Company Volunteering Projects Transcript

The Part 2 audio transcript of Company Volunteering Projects in Cambridge 13 Listening Test 2 is as follows:

Thanks for coming everyone. OK, so this meeting is for new staff and staff who haven’t been involved with our volunteering projects yet. So basically, the idea is that we allow staff to give up some of their work time to help on various charity projects to benefit the local community. We’ve been doing this for the last five years and it’s been very successful.

Participating doesn’t necessarily involve a huge time commitment.  The company will pay for eight hours of your time. That can be used over one or two days all at once, or spread over several months throughout the year  (Q11) . There are some staff who enjoy volunteering so much they also give up their own free time for a couple of hours every week. It’s completely up to you. Obviously, many people will have family commitments and aren’t as available as other members of staff.

Feedback from staff has been overwhelmingly positive.  Because they felt they were doing something really useful, nearly everyone agreed that volunteering made them feel more motivated at work  (Q12) . They also liked building relationships with the people in the local community and felt valued by them. One or two people also said it was a good thing to have on their CVs.

One particularly successful project last year was the Get Working Project. This was aimed at helping unemployed people in the area get back to work.  Our staff were able to help them improve their telephone skills, such as writing down messages and speaking with confidence to potential customers , which they had found quite difficult  (Q13) . This is something many employers look for in job applicants – and something we all do without even thinking about, every day at work.

We’ve got an exciting new project starting this year. Up until now, we’re mainly focused on projects to do with education and training. And we’ll continue with out reading project in schools and our work with local charities.  But we’re also agreed to help out on a conservation project in Redfern Park  (Q14) . So if any of you fancy being outside and getting your hands dirty, this is the project for you.

I also want to mention the annual Digital Inclusion Day, which is coming up next month. The aim of this is to help older people keep up with technology. And  this year, instead of hosting the event in our own training facility, we’re using the ICT suite at Hill College  (Q15) , as it can hold far more people.

We’ve invited over 60 people from the Silver Age Community Centre to take part, so we’ll need a lot of volunteers to help with this event.

If you’re interested in taking part, please go to the volunteering section of our website and complete the relevant form  (Q16) . We won’t be providing any training for this but you’ll be paired with an experienced volunteer if you’ve never done it before. By the way, don’t forget to tell your manager about any volunteering activities you decide to do.

The participants on the Digital Inclusion Day really benefited. The majority were in their seventies, though some where younger and a few were even in their nineties! Quite a few owned both a computer and  a mobile phone, but these tended to be outdated model   (Q17) . They generally knew how to do simple things, like send texts, but weren’t aware of recent developments in mobile phone technology.  A few were keen to learn but most were quite dismissive at first – they couldn’t see the point of updating their skills  (Q18) . But that soon changed.

The feedback was very positive. The really encouraging thing was that  participants all said they felt much more confident about using social media to keep in touch with their grandchildren  (Q19) , who prefer this form of communication to phoning or sending emails.  A lot of them also said playing online games would help them make new friends and keep their brains active  (Q20) . They weren’t that impressed with being able to order their groceries online, as they liked going out to the shops, but some said it would come in handy if they were ill or the weather was really bad.

#3 Presentation on Nanotechnology Transcript

The Part 3 audio transcript of Presentation on Nanotechnology in Cambridge 13 Listening Test 2 is as follows:

TUTOR:                Ah … come in, Russ.

RUSS:                   Thank you.

TUTOR:                Now you wanted to consult me about your class presentation on nanotechnology – you’re due to give it in next week, aren’t you?

RUSS:                   That’s right. And I’m really struggling.  Should I assume the other students don’t know much, and give them a kind of general introduction, or should I try and make them share my fascination with a particular aspect ?  (Q21)

TUTOR:                You could do either, but you’ll need to have it clear in your own mind.

RUSS:                   Then I think I’ll give an overview.

TUTOR:                OK. Now, one way of approaching this is to work through developments in chronological order.

RUSS:                   Uh-huh.                             

TUTOR:                On the other hand, you could talk about the numerous ways that nanotechnology is being applied.

RUSS:                   You mean things like thin films on camera displays to make them water-repellent, and additives to make motorcycle helmets stronger and lighter.

TUTOR:                Exactly.  Or another way would be to focus on its impact in one particular area  (Q22) , say medicine, or space exploration.

RUSS:                   That would make it easier to focus. Perhaps I should do that.

TUTOR:                I think that would be a good idea.

RUSS:                   Right. How important is it to include slides in the presentation?

TUTOR:                They aren’t essential, by any means. And there’s a danger of tailoring what you say to fit whatever slides you can find.  While it can be good to includes slides, you could end up spending too long looking for suitable ones. You might find it better to leave them out .  (Q23)

RUSS:                   I see. Another thing I was wondering about was how to start. I know presentations often begin with ‘First I’m going to talk about this, and then I’ll talk about that’, but I thought about asking the audience what they know about nanotechnology.

TUTOR:                That would be fine if you had an hour or two for the presentation, but you might find that you can’t do anything with the answers you get, and it simply eats into the short time that’s available.

RUSS:                   So,  maybe I should mention a particular way that nanotechnology is used, to focus people’s attention .  (Q24)           

TUTOR:                That sounds sensible.

RUSS:                   What do you think I should do next? I really have to plan the presentation today and tomorrow.

TUTOR:                Well, initially I think you should ignore all the notes you’ve made, take a small piece of paper, and  write a single short sentence that ties together the whole presentation  (Q25):  it can be something as simple as ‘Nanotechnology is already improving our lives’. Then start planning the content around that. You can always modify that sentence later, if you need to.      

RUSS:                   OK.

————————————

TUTOR:                OK, now let’s think about actually giving the presentation.

RUSS:                   That’s right. It was pretty rubbish!

TUTOR:                Let’s say it was better in some respects than in others.  With regard to the structure. I felt that you ended rather abruptly, without rounding it off  (Q26) . Be careful not to do that in next week’s presentation.

TUTOR:                 And you made very little eye contact with the audience, because you were looking down at your notes most of the time. You need to be looking at the audience and only occasionally glancing at your notes .  (Q27)

RUSS:                   Mmm.

TUTOR:                 Your body language was a little odd. Every time you showed a slide, you turned your back on the audience so you could look at it – you should have been looking at your laptop. And you kept scratching your head, so I found myself wondering when you were next going to do that, instead of listening to what you were saying!  (Q28)

RUSS:                   Oh dear. What did you think of the language? I knew that not everyone was familiar with the subject, so I tried to make it as simple as I could.

TUTOR:                Yes, that came across.  You used a few words that are specific to the field, but you always explained what they meant, so the audience wouldn’t have had any difficulty understanding .  (Q29)

RUSS:                   Uh-huh.

TUTOR:                I must say  the handouts you prepared were well thought out. They were a good summary of your presentation, which people would be able to refer to later on  (Q30) . So well done on that.

TUTOR:                Well, I hope that helps you with next week’s presentation.

RUSS:                   Yes, it will. Thanks a lot.

TUTOR:                I’ll look forward to seeing a big improvement, then. 

#4 Episodic Memory Transcript

The Part 4 audio script of Episodic Memory in Listening Test 2 is as follows:

Today, we’ll be continuing the series of lectures on memory by focusing on what is called episodic memory and what can happen if this is not working properly.

Episodic memory refers to the memory of an event or ‘episode’. They allow us to mentally travel back in time to an event from the past.  T hese include various details about these events, for example, when an event happened and other information such as the location  (Q31) . To help understand this concept, try to remember the last time you ate dinner at a restaurant. The ability to remember where you ate, who you were with and the items you ordered are all features of an episodic memory.

Episodic memory is distinct from another type of memory called semantic memory.  This is the type of factual memory that we have in common with everyone else – that is your general knowledge of the world  (Q32) . To build upon a previous example, remembering where you parked your car is an example of episodic memory, but your understanding of what a car is and how an engine works are examples of sematic memory.  Unlike episodic memory, semantic memory isn’t dependent on recalling personal experiences .  (Q33)

Episodic memory can be thought of as a process with several different steps of memory processing: encoding, consolidation and retrieval.

The initial step is called encoding. This involves the process of receiving and registering information, which is necessary for creating memories of information or events that you experience.  The degree to which you can successfully encode information depends on the level of attention you give to an event while it’s actually happening  (Q34) . Being distracted can make effective encoding very difficult. Encoding of episodic memories is also influenced by how you process the event. For example,  if you were introduced to someone called Charlie, you might make the connection that your uncle has the same name. Future recollection of Charlie’s name is much easier if you have a strategy to help you encode it . (Q35)

Memory consolidation, the next step in forming an episodic memory, is the process by which memories of encoded information are strengthened, stabilised and stored to facilitate later retrieval.  Consolidation is most effective when the information being stored can be linked to an existing network of information   (Q36) . Consolidation makes it possible for you to store memories for later retrieval indefinitely.  Forming strong memories depends on the frequency with which you try to retrieve them  (Q37) .

The last step in forming episodic memories is called retrieval, which is the conscious recollection of encoded information. Retrieving information from episodic memory depends upon semantic, olfactory, auditory and visual factors.  These help episodic memory retrieval by acting as a prompt. For example, when recalling where you parked your car you may use the colour of a sign close to where you parked  (Q38) . You actually have to mentally travel back to the moment you parked.

There are a wide range of neurological diseases and conditions that can affect episodic memory. These range from Alzheimer’s to schizophrenia to autism. An impairment of episodic memory can have a profound effect on individuals’ lives. For example, the symptoms of schizophrenia can be reasonably well controlled by medication; however, patients’ episodic memory may still be impaired and so they are often unable to return to university or work.  Recent studies have shown that computer- assisted games designed to keep the brain active can help improve their episodic memory .  (Q39)

Episodic memories can help people connect with others, for instance by sharing intimate details about their past; something individuals with autism often have problems with. This may be caused by an absence of a sense of self  (Q40) . This is essential for the storage of episodic memory, and has been found to be impaired in children with autism. Research has shown that treatments that improve memory may also have a positive impact on children’s social development.

Nanotechnology Technology on a Small Scale IELTS Listening Transcript

Today we’re going to look at an important area of science, namely nanotechnology. So what is it? Nano means tiny, so it’s science and engineering on the scale of atoms and molecules. The idea is that by controlling and rearranging atoms, you can literally create anything. However, as we’ll see, the science of the small has some big implications affecting us in many ways.

There’s no doubt that nanotechnology promises so much for civilisation. However, all new technologies have their teething problems. And with nanotechnology, society often gets the wrong idea about its capabilities (Q31) . Numerous science-fiction books and movies have raised people’s fears about nanotechnology – with scenarios such as inserting little nano-robots into your body that monitor everything you do without you realising it, or self-replicating nano-robots that eventually take over the world.

So how do we safeguard such a potentially powerful technology? Some scientists recommend that nano-particles be treated as new chemicals with separate safety tests and clear labelling (Q32) . They believe that greater care should also be taken with nano-particles in laboratories and factories. Others have called for a withdrawal of new nano products such as cosmetics and a temporary halt to many kinds of nanotech research.

But as far as I’m concerned there’s a need to plough ahead with the discoveries and applications of nanotechnology (Q33) . I really believe that most scientists would welcome a way to guard against unethical uses of such technology. We can’t go around thinking that all innovation is bad, all advancement is bad. As with the debate about any new technology, it is how you use it that’s important. So let’s look at some of its possible uses.

Thanks to nanotechnology, there could be a major breakthrough in the field of transportation with the production of more durable metals (Q34) . These could be virtually unbreakable, lighter and much more pliable leading to planes that are 50 times lighter than at present. Those same improved capabilities will dramatically reduce the cost of travelling into space making it more accessible to ordinary people (Q35) and opening up to totally new holiday destination.

In terms of technology, the computer industry will be able to shrink computer parts down to minute sizes. We need nanotechnology in order to create a new generation of computers that will work even faster and will have a million times more memory but will be about the size of a sugar cube (Q36) . Nanotechnology could also revolutionise the way that we generate power. The cost of solar cells will be drastically reduced so harnessing this energy will be far more economical than at present . (Q37)

But nanotechnology has much wider applications than this and could have an enormous impact on our environment. For instance, tiny airborne nano-robots could be programmed to actually rebuild the ozone layer, which could lessen the impact of global warming on our planet. That’s a pretty amazing thought, isn’t it? On a more local scale, this new technology could help with the clean-up of environmental disasters as nanotechnology will allow us to remove oil and other contaminants from the water far more effectively (Q38) . And, if nanotechnology progresses as expected – as a sort of building block set of about 90 atoms – then you could build anything you wanted from the bottom up. In terms of production, this means that you only use what you need and so there wouldn’t be any waste . (Q39)

The notion that you could create anything at all has major implications for our health. It means that we’ll eventually be able to replicate anything. This would have a phenomenal effect on our society. In time it could even lead to the eradication of famine through the introduction of machines that produce food to feed the hungry.

But it’s in the area of medicine that nanotechnology may have its biggest impact. How we detect disease will change as tiny biosensors are developed to analyse tests in minutes rather than days (Q40) . There’s even speculation nano-robots could be used to slow the ageing process, lengthening life expectancy.

As you can see, I’m very excited by the implications that could be available to us in the next few decades. Just how long it’ll take, I honestly don’t know.

Đáp án IELTS Listening Cambridge 13 Test 2 – Transcript & Answers

Section 1: south city cycling club .

A – Phân tích câu hỏi

Questions 1-10:

Complete the notes below. Write ONE WORD AND/ OR A NUMBER.

B – Giải thích đáp án

JIM: Hello, South City Cycling Club. 

Xin chào, câu lạc bộ xe đạp South City nghe ạ.

WOMAN: Oh, hi. Er … I want to find out about joining the club. 

Ồ, xin chào … Tôi muốn tìm hiểu một số thông tin về việc tham gia vào câu lạc bộ ạ.

JIM: Right. I can help you there. I’m the club secretary and my name’s Jim Hunter (Example) . 

Vâng. Tôi có thể giúp bạn. Tôi là thư ký của câu lạc bộ và tên tôi là Jim Hunter.

WOMAN: Oh, hi Jim. 

Ồ, chào Jim ạ.

JIM: So, are you interested in membership for yourself? 

Có phải bạn muốn trở thành thành viên không?

WOMAN: That’s right. 

JIM: OK. Well there are basically two types of adult membership. If you’re pretty serious

about cycling, there’s the Full membership. That costs 260 dollars and that covers you not just for ordinary cycling but also for races (Q1) both here in the city and also in other parts of Australia . 

Ok. Về cơ bản có hai loại thành viên dành cho người lớn. Nếu bạn khá nghiêm túc về đạp xe, có thành viên trọn vẹn. Chi phí đó là 260 đô la và chi phí đó không chỉ cho bạn đi xe đạp thông thường mà còn cho các cuộc đua cả ở đây trong thành phố và các vùng khác của Úc.

WOMAN: Right. Well, I’m not really up to that standard. I was more interested in just joining a group to do some cycling in my free time. 

Vâng. Chà, tôi không thực sự đạt tiêu chuẩn đó. Tôi thích thú hơn với việc tham gia một nhóm để đạp xe vào thời gian rảnh hơn.

JIM: Sure. That’s why most people join. So, in that case you’d be better with the Recreational membership. That’s 108 dollars if you’re over 19, and 95 dollars if you’re under. 

Chắc chắn rồi. Đó là lý do tại sao hầu hết mọi người tham gia. Vì vậy, trong trường hợp đó, bạn sẽ tốt hơn với tư cách thành viên Giải trí. Nó là 108 đô la nếu bạn trên 19 tuổi và 95 đô la nếu bạn dưới tuổi.

WOMAN: I’m 25. 

Tôi 25 tuổi.

JIM: OK. It’s paid quarterly , and you can upgrade it later to the Full membership if you want to, of course. Now both types of membership include the club fee of 20 dollars. They also provide insurance (Q2) in case you have an accident , though we hope you won’t need that, of course. 

Ok. Nó được trả theo quý và tất nhiên bạn có thể nâng cấp nó lên thành viên Đầy đủ nếu muốn. Bây giờ cả hai loại thành viên bao gồm phí câu lạc bộ là 20 đô la. Họ cũng cung cấp bảo hiểm trong trường hợp bạn gặp tai nạn, mặc dù chúng tôi tất nhiên là hy vọng bạn sẽ không cần đến nó.

WOMAN: No. OK, well, I’ll go with the Recreational membership, I think. And that allows me to join in the club activities, and so on? 

Không. Được rồi, tôi nghĩ là tôi sẽ đi với tư cách thành viên Giải trí. Và điều đó cho phép tôi tham gia các hoạt động của câu lạc bộ, v.v. chứ?

JIM: That’s right. And once you’re a member of the club, you’re also permitted to wear our kit when you’re out cycling. It’s green and white.

Đúng rồi. Và một khi bạn là thành viên của câu lạc bộ, bạn cũng được phép mặc bộ đồ của chúng tôi khi đi xe đạp. Nó màu xanh lá cây và màu trắng.

WOMAN: Yes, I’ve seen cyclists wearing it. So, can I buy that at the club? 

Vâng, tôi đã thấy những người đi xe đạp mặc nó. Vậy, tôi có thể mua cái đó ở câu lạc bộ không?

JIM: No, it’s made to order by a company in Brisbane. You can find them online: they’re called Jerriz (Q3) . That’s J-E-R-R-I-Z. You can use your membership number to put in an

order on their website. 

Không, nó được đặt hàng bởi một công ty ở Brisbane. Bạn có thể tìm thấy chúng trên mạng: chúng được gọi là Jerriz. Đó là J-E-R-R-I-Z. Bạn có thể sử dụng số thành viên của mình để đưa vào đặt hàng trên trang web của họ.

WOMAN: OK. Now, can you tell me a bit about the rides I can do? 

Ok. Bây giờ, bạn có thể cho tôi biết một chút về những chuyến đi mà tôi có thể tham gia  được không?

JIM: Sure. So we have training rides pretty well every morning, and they’re a really good way of improving your cycling skills as well as your general level of fitness, but they’re different levels. Level A is pretty fast – you’re looking at about 30 or 35 kilometres an hour. If you can do about 25 (Q4) kilometres an hour, you’d probably be level B , and then level C are the novices, who stay at about 15 kilometres per hour. 

Chắc chắn rồi. Chúng tôi có các chuyến tập luyện khá tốt vào mỗi buổi sáng và chúng là một cách thực sự tốt để cải thiện kỹ năng đạp xe cũng như mức độ thể chất chung của bạn, nhưng chúng ở các mức độ khác nhau. Cấp độ A khá nhanh – bạn đang nhìn khoảng 30 hoặc 35 km một giờ. Nếu bạn có thể làm khoảng 25 km một giờ, bạn có thể là cấp độ B, và cấp độ C là những người mới, những người ở khoảng 15 km / giờ.

WOMAN: Right. Well I reckon I’d be level B. So, when are the sessions for that level? There are a couple each week. They’re both early morning sessions. There’s one on Tuesdays, and for that one you meet at 5.30 am, and the meeting point’s the stadium (Q5) – do you know where that is? 

Vâng. Tôi nghĩ tôi sẽ đạt cấp độ B. Vậy, khi nào thì có các phiên học cho cấp độ đó? Có một vài buổi mỗi tuần. Cả hai đều là buổi sáng sớm. Có một vào các ngày Thứ Ba, và một trong số đó là bạn gặp lúc 5h30 sáng và điểm hẹn là sân vận động – bạn có biết nó là đâu không?

WOMAN: Yes, it’s quite near my home, in fact. OK, and how about the other one? 

Vâng, nó khá gần nhà của tôi. OK, còn cái kia thì sao?

JIM: That’s on Thursdays. It starts at the same time, but they meet at the main gate to the park (Q6) . 

Đó là vào các ngày Thứ Năm. Nó bắt đầu cùng một lúc, nhưng họ gặp nhau ở cổng chính về phía công viên.

WOMAN: Is that the one just past the shopping mall? 

Có phải là chỉ cần qua cái trung tâm thương mại không?

JIM: That’s it.

WOMAN: So how long are the rides ? 

Quãng đường đi khoảng bao xa?

JIM: They’re about an hour and a half. So, if you have a job it’s easy to fit in before you go to work. And the members often go somewhere for coffee (Q7) afterwards , so it’s quite a social event. 

Chúng khoảng một tiếng rưỡi. Vì vậy, nếu bạn có việc, nó sẽ dễ dàng phù hợp trước khi đi làm. Và các thành viên thường đi đâu đó để uống cà phê sau đó, vì vậy đón như là một cuộc hẹn trò chuyện.

WOMAN: OK. That sounds good. I’ve only just moved to the city so I don’t actually know

many people yet. 

Ok. Nghe hay đấy. Tôi chỉ mới chuyển đến thành phố nên tôi thực sự không biết nhiều người.

JIM: Well, it’s a great way to meet people. 

Ồ, thế thì đây là cách lý tưởng để bạn có thể gặp gỡ mọi người đấy.

WOMAN: And does each ride have a leader (Q8) ? 

Mỗi chuyến đi có người dẫn đầu không ạ?

JIM: Sometimes, but not always . But you don’t really need one; the group members onthe ride support one another, anyway. 

Thỉnh thoảng thôi ạ, nhưng không phải luôn luôn. Nhưng bạn không thực sự cần một người dẫn đầu đâu; các thành viên nhóm trên dù sao đi nữa cũng hỗ trợ nhau.

WOMAN: How would we know where to go? 

Làm sao chúng tôi có thể biết được là đi đâu?

JIM: If you check the club website, you’ll see that the route (Q9) for each ride is clearly.marked. So you can just print that out and take it along with you. It’s similar from one week to another, but it’s not always exactly the same. 

Nếu bạn kiểm tra trang web của câu lạc bộ, bạn sẽ thấy rằng tuyến đường cho mỗi chuyến đi được đánh dấu rõ ràng. Vì vậy, bạn có thể chỉ cần in ra và mang theo bên mình. Nó tương tự từ tuần này sang tuần khác, nhưng không phải lúc nào cũng giống nhau.

WOMAN: And what do I need to bring? 

Tôi cần mang theo những gì ạ?

JIM: Well, bring a bottle of water, and your phone. You shouldn’t use it while you’re cycling, but have it with you. 

Hãy mang theo một chai nước và điện thoại của bạn. Bạn không nên sử dụng nó khi đang đạp xe, nhưng hãy mang theo bên mình.

WOMAN: Right. 

JIM: And in winter, it’s well before sunrise when we set out, so you need to make sure your bike’s got lights (Q10) . 

Và vào mùa đông, trước khi mặt trời mọc khi chúng tôi lên đường, vì vậy bạn cần đảm bảo xe đạp của bạn có đèn.

WOMAN: That’s OK. Well, thanks Jim. I’d definitely like to join. So what’s the best way of going about it? 

Vậy là được rồi. Vâng, cảm ơn Jim. Tôi chắc chắn muốn tham gia. Vậy cách tốt nhất là gì?

JIM: You can …

TUTOR: Ah … come in, Russ. 

À, mời vào, Russ.

RUSS: Thank you. 

TUTOR: Now you wanted to consult me about your class presentation on nanotechnology -you’re due to give it in next week, aren’t you? 

Bây giờ bạn muốn hỏi ý kiến tôi về bài thuyết trình trên lớp của bạn về công nghệ nano – Bạn sẽ làm nó vào tuần tới, phải không?

RUSS: That’s right. And I’m really struggling . I chose the topic because I didn’t know muchabout it and wanted to learn more, but now I’ve read so much about it, in a way there’s too much to say – I could talk for much longer than the twenty minutes I’ve been allocated . Should I assume the other students don’t know much, and give them a kind of general introduction, or should I try and make them share my fascination with a particular aspect (Q21) ? 

Đúng ạ. Và em đang thực sự gặp khó khăn. Em chọn chủ đề vì em không biết nhiều về nó và muốn tìm hiểu thêm, nhưng bây giờ thì em đã đọc quá nhiều về nó, theo một cách có quá nhiều điều để nói – em có thể nói lâu hơn nhiều so với hai mươi phút mà em đã được phân bổ . Em có nên cho rằng các sinh viên khác không biết nhiều và giới thiệu chung cho họ, hay em nên cố gắng làm cho họ chia sẻ niềm đam mê của em với một khía cạnh cụ thể?

TUTOR: You could do either, but you’ll need to have it clear in your own mind. 

Bạn có thể làm một trong hai, nhưng bạn cần phải hiểu rõ điều đó trong tâm trí của mình.

RUSS: Then I think I’ll give an overview. 

Sau đó em nghĩ em sẽ cần một bản sơ lược.

TUTOR: OK. Now, one way of approaching this is to work through developments in chronological order. 

Ok. Bây giờ, một cách để tiếp cận điều này là làm việc thông qua các phát triển trong thứ tự thời gian.

RUSS: Uh-huh.

TUTOR: On the other hand, you could talk about the numerous ways that nanotechnology isbeing applied 

Mặt khác, bạn có thể nói về nhiều cách mà công nghệ nano đang được áp dụng

RUSS: You mean things like thin films on camera displays to make them water-repellent,and additives to make motorcycle helmets stronger and lighter. 

Ý bạn là những thứ như màng mỏng trên màn hình máy ảnh để làm cho chúng không thấm nước, và các chất phụ gia để làm cho mũ bảo hiểm xe máy bền và nhẹ hơn ạ.

TUTOR: Exactly. Or another way would be to focus on its impact in one particular area, say (Q22) medicine, or space exploration . 

Chính xác. Hoặc một cách khác là tập trung vào tác động của nó trong một lĩnh vực cụ thể, chẳng hạn như y học, hoặc khám phá không gian.

RUSS: That would make it easier to focus. Perhaps I should do that. 

Điều đó sẽ giúp em dễ dàng tập trung hơn. Có lẽ em nên làm điều đó.

TUTOR: I think that would be a good idea.

Tôi nghĩ đó là ý tưởng hay đấy.

RUSS: Right. How important is it to include slides in the presentation? 

Vâng. Tầm quan trọng của việc đưa các slide vào bài thuyết trình như thế nào ạ?

TUTOR: They aren’t essential, by any means. And there’s a danger of tailoring what you sayto fit whatever slides you can find. While it can be good to include slides, you could ( Q23) end up spending too long looking for suitable ones . You might find it better to leave them out. 

Chúng không cần thiết, bởi bất kỳ phương tiện nào. Và có nguy cơ sửa đổi những gì bạn nói để phù hợp với bất kỳ trang trình bày nào bạn có thể tìm thấy. Mặc dù có thể tốt khi bao gồm các trang trình bày, nhưng cuối cùng bạn có thể dành quá nhiều thời gian để tìm kiếm những trang trình bày phù hợp. Bạn có thể thấy tốt hơn nếu bỏ chúng đi.

RUSS: I see. Another thing I was wondering about was how to start. I know presentations often begin with ‘First I’m going to talk about this, and then I’ll talk about that’, but I thought about asking the audience what they know about nanotechnology. 

Em hiểu rồi ạ. Một điều nữa mà em băn khoăn là làm thế nào để bắt đầu. Em biết thuyết trình thường bắt đầu bằng ‘Đầu tiên tôi sẽ nói về điều này, sau đó tôi sẽ nói về điều đó’, nhưng em  đã nghĩ đến việc hỏi khán giả họ biết gì về công nghệ nano.

TUTOR: That would be fine if you had an hour or two for the presentation, but you might find that you can’t do anything with the answers you get, and it simply eats into the short time that’s available. 

Điều đó tốt nếu bạn có một hoặc hai giờ cho bài thuyết trình, nhưng bạn có thể thấy rằng bạn không thể làm bất cứ điều gì với câu trả lời bạn nhận được, và nó chỉ ngốn thời gian ngắn mà bạn được phép thôi.

RUSS: So, maybe I should mention a particular way that nanotechnology is used, to focus (Q24) people’s attention . 

Thế thì có lẽ em nên đề cập đến một cách cụ thể mà công nghệ nano được sử dụng, để tập trung vào sự chú ý của mọi người.

TUTOR: That sounds sensible. 

Nghe có vẻ hay đấy.

RUSS: What do you think I should do next? I really have to plan the presentation today and tomorrow. 

Thế em nên làm gì tiếp theo? Em thực sự phải lên kế hoạch cho buổi thuyết trình hôm nay và ngày mai.

TUTOR: Well, initially I think you should ignore all the notes you’ve made, take a small piece of paper, and write a single short sentence that ties together the whole presentation: (Q25) it can be something as simple as ‘Nanotechnology is already improving our lives’. Then start planning the content around that. You can always modify that sentencelater, if you need to. 

Chà, ban đầu tôi nghĩ bạn nên bỏ qua tất cả những ghi chú bạn đã ghi, hãy lấy một mẩu nhỏtrên giấy, và viết một câu ngắn duy nhất gắn kết toàn bộ bài thuyết trình với nhau: nó có thể là một cái gì đó đơn giản như ‘Công nghệ nano đã và đang cải thiện cuộc sống của chúng ta’. Sau đó, bắt đầu lập kế hoạch nội dung xung quanh đó. Bạn luôn có thể sửa đổi câu đó sau, nếu cần.

TUTOR: OK, now let’s think about actually giving the presentation. You’ve only given one before, if I remember correctly, about an experiment you’d been involved in. 

OK, bây giờ chúng ta hãy nghĩ về việc thực sự thuyết trình. Bạn chỉ đưa ra một trước đây, nếu tôi nhớ không lầm, về một thử nghiệm bạn đã tham gia.

RUSS: That’s right. It was pretty rubbish! 

Dạ vâng, nó khá tệ.

TUTOR: Let’s say it was better in some respects than in others. With regard to the structure. I ( Q26) felt that you ended rather abruptly , without rounding it off . Be careful not to do that in next week’s presentation. 

Giả sử nó tốt hơn ở một số khía cạnh so với những khía cạnh khác. Đối với cấu trúc. Tôi cảm thấy rằng bạn đã kết thúc khá đột ngột , mà không tổng kết nó . Hãy cẩn thận đừng làm điều đó trong bài thuyết trình tuần tới.

TUTOR: And you made very little eye contact with the audience, because you were looking ( Q27) down at your notes most of the time . You need to be looking at the audience and only occasionally glancing at your notes. 

Và bạn rất ít giao tiếp bằng mắt với khán giả, vì bạn đang nhìn hầu hết thời gian ghi chú của bạn. Bạn cần phải nhìn vào khán giả và chỉ thỉnh thoảng liếc nhìn ghi chú của bạn.

RUSS: Mmm. 

TUTOR: Your body language was a little odd. Every time you showed a slide, you turned your ( Q28 ) back on the audience so you could look at it – you should have been looking at your laptop . And you kept scratching your head, so I found myself wondering when youwere next going to do that, instead of listening to what you were saying! 

Ngôn ngữ cơ thể của bạn hơi kỳ quặc. Mỗi khi bạn trình chiếu một slide, bạn lại quay của mình về phía khán giả để bạn có thể nhìn vào nó – lẽ ra bạn nên nhìn vào máy tính xách tay của mình. Và bạn cứ vò đầu bứt tai, vì vậy tôi thấy mình tự hỏi khi bạntiếp theo sẽ làm điều đó, thay vì lắng nghe những gì bạn đang nói!

RUSS: Oh dear. What did you think of the language? I knew that not everyone was familiarwith the subject, so I tried to make it as simple as I could. 

Ôi trời. Thầy đã nghĩ gì về ngôn ngữ này? Em biết rằng không phải ai cũng quen với chủ đề, vì vậy em đã cố gắng làm cho nó đơn giản nhất có thể.

TUTOR: Yes, that came across. You used a few words that are specific to the field, but you ( Q29) always explained what they meant, so the audience wouldn’t have had any difficulty understanding .

Vâng, điều đó đã xảy ra. Bạn đã sử dụng một vài từ cụ thể cho lĩnh vực này, nhưng bạn luôn giải thích ý nó nghĩa là gì để khán giả không gặp khó khăn để hiểu.

RUSS: Uh-huh. 

TUTOR: I must say the handouts you prepared were well thought out. They were a good summary of your presentation, which people would be able to refer to later on (Q30) . So well done on that. 

Tôi phải nói rằng các tài liệu bạn chuẩn bị đã được chu đáo. Chúng là một bản tóm tắt hay về bài thuyết trình của bạn, mà mọi người sẽ có thể tham khảo sau này. Vì vậy, thực hiện tốt về điều đó.

TUTOR: Well, I hope that helps you with next week’s presentation. 

Tôi hy vọng có thể giúp bạn với bài thuyết trình tuần tới.

RUSS: Yes, it will. Thanks a lot. 

Vâng, Em cảm ơn nhiều ạ.

TUTOR: I’ll look forward to seeing a big improvement, then.

Tôi hy vọng sẽ nhìn thấy được sự tiến bộ rõ rệt của bạn.

Ielts listening – nanotechnology: technology on a small scale s17t4, ielts listening.

Nanotechnology: technology on a small scale

Today we’re going to look at an important area of science, namely nanotechnology. So what is it? Nano means tiny, so it’s science and engineering on the scale of atoms and molecules. The idea is that by controlling and rearranging atoms, you can literally create anything. However, as we’ll see,

the science of the small has some big implications affecting us in many ways.

Attempt full listening test…

There’s no doubt that nanotechnology promises so much for civilization. However, all new technologies have their teething problems. And with nanotechnology, Q31 society often gets the wrong idea about its capabilities . Numerous science-fiction books and movies have raised people’s fears about nanotechnology – with scenarios such as inserting little nano-robots into your body that monitor everything you do without you realizing it, or self-replicating nano-robots that eventually take over the world.

So how do we safeguard such a potentially powerful technology? Q32 Some scientists recommend that nano-particles be treated as new chemicals with separate safety tests and clear labelling . They believe that greater care should also be taken with nano-particles in laboratories and factories. Others have called for a withdrawal of new nano products such as cosmetics and a temporary halt to many kinds of nanotechnology research.

Q33 But as far as I’m concerned there’s a need to plough ahead with the discoveries and applications of nanotechnology . I really believe that most scientists would welcome a way to guard against unethical uses of such technology. We can’t go around thinking that all innovation is bad, all advancement is bad. As with the debate about any new technology, it is how you use it that’s important. So let’s look at some of its possible uses.

Thanks to nanotechnology, there could be a major breakthrough in the field of transportation with the production of more durable Q34   metals . These could be virtually unbreakable, lighter and much more pliable leading to planes that are 50 times lighter than at present. Those same improved capabilities will dramatically reduce the cost of travelling into Q35 space making it more accessible to ordinary people and opening up a totally new holiday destination.

In terms of technology, the computer industry will be able to shrink computer parts down to minute sizes. We need nanotechnology in order to create a new generation of computers that will work even faster and will have a million times more Q36 memory but will be about the size of a sugar cube. Nanotechnology could also revolutionize the way that we generate power. The cost of Q37 solar cells will be drastically reduced so harnessing this energy will be far more economical than at present.

But nanotechnology has much wider applications than this and could have an enormous impact on our environment. For instance, tiny airborne nano-robots could be programmed to actually rebuild the ozone layer, which could lessen the impact of global warming on our planet. That’s a pretty amazing thought, isn’t it? On a more local scale, this new technology could help with the clean-up of environmental disasters as nanotechnology will allow us to remove Q38 oil and other contaminants from the water far more effectively. And, if nanotechnology progresses as expected – as a sort of building block set of about 90 atoms – then you could build anything you wanted from the bottom up. In terms of production, this means that you only use what you need and so there wouldn’t be any Q39 waste .

The notion that you could create anything at all has major implications for our health. It means that we’ll eventually be able to replicate anything. This would have a phenomenal effect on our society. In time it could even lead to the eradication of famine through the introduction of machines that produce food to feed the hungry.

But it’s in the area of medicine that nanotechnology may have its biggest impact. How we detect disease will change as tiny biosensors are developed to analyse Q40 tests in minutes rather than days. There’s even speculation nano-robots could be used to slow the ageing process, lengthening life expectancy.

As you can see, I’m very excited by the implications that could be available to us in the next few decades. Just how long it’ll take, I honestly don’t know.
