some of the events happening in our state capitol over the next three weeks at the Spring
Festival. So Mary, what can we expect to see?
6
Speaker 6
8:27
Well, it's such an exciting time to be in Yorktown to kick off the Spring Festival. There'll be a
huge firework display down by the lake starting at 9pm. This Saturday, the fourth of September,
over 10,000 fireworks will be set off all choreographed to music and broadcast simultaneously
here on radio your key. You should get there early if you want to get close to the action. So bring
along a picnic and a blanket as it could get chilly in the evening. One of the things that attracts
visitors to the festival from all over the country is the amazing collection of flowers on show in
Central Park throughout the festival. Special buses will run from the town center to the show at
20 minute intervals. For those of you who prefer to take public transport. If you're interested in
seeing the latest in cars, from the fastest to the most expensive, then head over to the motor show
at the exhibition center from the 10th to the 15th of September. It'll be open daily from 9am until
10pm So you can even pop there after work. Do you like photography, then go along to grow
your imagination and exhibition of photographs of famous Gardens, which will be held at the Art
Gallery from the 11th to the 19th of September. Come and be inspired by some have the world's
most beautiful gardens. I've had a sneak preview of some of the photographs, and they are
magnificent. If music is more your scene, then you should come and hear the Australian
Philharmonic Orchestra performing swing in spring at the concert hall on Friday, the 17th and
Saturday the 18th of September. It's a celebration of dance music from the 1940s and 50s. There
will be three performances. Both evening start at 7pm and a matinee performance at 230 on the
Saturday, so get your dancing shoes on and head there, it's guaranteed to get your feet tapping.

Those are just a few of the attractions on offer. But for something a little different, you could try
balloons down under, which is the largest gathering of hot air balloons in the southern
hemisphere. It's well worth it. because there'll be over 25 balloons of all shapes and sizes, which

13:22
Now turn to section three. On page five. Section three, you will hear a student called Paul talking
to a tutor about a course he is thinking of doing. First you have some time to look at questions 21
to 25 on page five. Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
7
Speaker 7
14:13
Good morning. Come in. You're Paul, are you? Yes,

14:17
I spoke to you on the phone. Yes.
7
Speaker 7
14:19
Have a seat. You wanted to talk to me about the archaeology course?
5
Speaker 5
14:24
Yes, I've read the handbook. But I'd like to find out a few more details before I decide whether to
do it.
7
Speaker 7
14:29
Right. Yes. What would you like to know? Well, first
5
Speaker 5
14:33
of all, can I combine the archaeology course with one in anthropology?
7
Speaker 7

GROUP: ORIGINAL EXAMS – DỰ ĐOÁN ĐỀ THI IELTS THEO NGÀY

14:38
Yes, you can combine it with any other subject apart from classical history. That simply because
there's some overlap in the lecture times for those two courses. We weren't able to coordinate
them.
5
Speaker 5
14:51
Okay, fine. And could you tell me about the modules? Well,
7
Speaker 7
14:55
in the first semester, there are three all of them are compulsory. We don't offer optional modules
till next year, right? The first one focuses on what can be learned from specific artifacts, such as
pottery and stone tools. It's called Object matters. And it's taught by Dr. Morris,
5
Speaker 5
15:16
is that how is the module presented? I mean, is it lectures,
7
Speaker 7
15:21
we refer to the means of presentation as the learning method. And in this case, its lectures
integrated with practical sessions. So it's a mixture.
5
Speaker 5
15:31
What about the content, I suppose we'll be looking at different kinds of archaeological remains,
and how to date them and so on,
7
Speaker 7
15:39
to some extent, but the module is basically about processes. First of all, recording material, then
classification, then interpretation of the data. That's how archaeologists draw conclusions about
their findings. And finally, display. Is that okay?
5
Speaker 5
15:58
I think so. Yes, thanks. One other thing? How is the module assessed? Is there an exam?

16:05
No, it's all based on coursework.
2
Speaker 2
16:11
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30 on
page six. Now, listen and answer questions 26 to 30. Okay,

GROUP: ORIGINAL EXAMS – DỰ ĐOÁN ĐỀ THI IELTS THEO NGÀY

7
Speaker 7
16:45
and the second module, that's the one called towns and cities is taught by our department head,
Professor Elliot. And as the name suggests, the modules about the origins of built environments,
and how they developed,
5
Speaker 5
17:01
that's mainly factual and I suppose it is really,
7
Speaker 7
17:06
and for that reason, the assessments by examination, but you may be pleased to know it's an oral
rather than a written exam. And it sounds a bit scary. Most of our students find they actually
enjoy it, so don't worry too much. Okay. And then the title of the third module is method and
science. And in that Dr. Thompson will be introducing you to the standard techniques used in
archaeological fieldwork and analysis, things like excavating and dating.
5
Speaker 5
17:36
What about the learning method for this module? Are there any lectures or is it all laboratory
work?
7
Speaker 7
17:42
Oh, it's half lab work and half seminars, there aren't any lectures. Then right at the end of the
module, you'll take part in a site survey. The date for that is week beginning the 10th of March,
but I can't tell you the location yet that will be announced later. But I think you'll find it very
useful

18:02
yes or no someone who went on that
2
Speaker 2
18:07
that is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Speaker 2
18:43
Now turn to section four, on page seven section four, you will hear a talk about the effects of our
digital world on young people. First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on pages
seven and eight. Now listen carefully, and answer questions 31 to 40.

In this lecture series, we're looking at changes occurring due to the rapid spread of digital
technology in the lab. last decades of the 20th century by digital technology, I include any
computer related devices such as email, the internet, cell phones, instant messaging, to name but
a few. Today's lecture focuses on the ideas of Marc Prensky and what he believes are the major
effects that high exposure to digital technology has had on young people today. Firstly, what
exactly does Prensky belief he argues that because today's young people have been born into a
digital world, and spend hours simply playing with technology, they've changed in fundamental
ways. He believes they're evolving differently, and as a result, process information differently
from previous generations. It's even possible that these young people's brains have physically
changed. Although whether this is literally true, isn't yet known. Nor does Prensky go quite this
far. Prensky divides people into digital natives and digital immigrants. Today's young people are
the digital natives. And they belong in this new digital age, because they were born into it and
grew up as native speakers of the digital language of computer technology. Whereas digital
immigrants are those born in the generations before the digital age. Just as those who learn a
second language often retain their foreign accent. The immigrants are usually in varying degrees,
not quite as effective at speaking the digital language as the natives are, for example, they're
more comfortable finding phone numbers using a phonebook or looking up information in an
encyclopedia. Rather than using the internet as a primary source of information. Prensky calls
this the digital accent. Another example of the digital accent is scanning a manual for a computer
program, rather than assuming the program itself will teach you how to use it. Basically, people
with a digital accent have never really stopped relying on their original non digital means of
sourcing information. They prefer doing things as they've always done them without typing
something into a computer.
1
Speaker 1
22:29
Prensky predicts that due to all this changes are in store, mainly in the area of education. But
what do other educators and theorists such as Thomas Allen, Samuel James, and Peter Vander
belief, Samuel James from Sydney University agrees with Prince keys predictions. He believes
that educators are no longer successful in the way they teach, however, not surprisingly, Prensky
has been criticized by more traditional theorists like Peter Vander and Thomas Allen. They
disagree with many of Prensky, his assertions. Vandor argues that a typical classroom is more
varied than Prensky believes, with students coming from a range of backgrounds. He maintains
that a large percentage of these students are not necessarily proficient with technology. And not
all students today fit the one stereotype. And Alan adds that even though most students today
have easy access to technology, some just don't find the digital medium appealing. James
disagrees, though, he believes that all today's students do share the same basic interest in and
knowledge of digital technology. However, James believes our younger students can
communicate with their digital immigrant teachers and can still learn using methods which have
proven to be successful in the past. James's theories are taken a step further by Allen, who
recognizes that both digital immigrants and natives have to deal with vast amounts of
information in today's electronic society. Alan maintains that while most young students are
proficient in playing computer games and using the web in quite basic ways, they're not used to
using the computer at advanced levels. For example, to conduct complex information searches,
which are so necessary for university study today. Irrespective of Allen's research, James
believes it's possible for computer games to play a major role in making classroom learning more

GROUP: ORIGINAL EXAMS – DỰ ĐOÁN ĐỀ THI IELTS THEO NGÀY

stimulating, and he cites many instances where this would be possible today. However, Vandor
asserts that rather than focusing on developing games, we should think of better ways to assist
teachers because no computer program comes close to doing what a human teacher does every
day.
