Update from Academic IELTS exam, Argentina

This incredible material was brought by IELTS candidate who wished to remain anonymous.

Listening:

1. Phone call with representative of “Mobility Company”. A man asked directions to their showroom, and made some inquiries about the products he could
get or install for his father, who had a weak back.

2. Recorded message on the phone, giving tourist information about some caves in Great Britain. (At the end there’s a quite long phone number, out of 15 people taking the exam, I couldn’t find anyone who was sure about the numbers he/she had written.
There were too many numbers, no repetitions, too fast.

3. Girl talking to student adviser. She asked about Science and Biology oriented undergraduate courses, if those were part time, full time or flexible; if there were any scholarships available or not.

4. Students giving a lecture about white rite, a mineral, which is source of barium, and main natural resource of their town.
