Cambridge Practice Tests for IELTS 1

SECTION 3
M = male student
F = female lecturer
M:
Hello can I come in?
F:
Oh yes, come in. How can I help you?
M:
I was looking for the Economics office. I’ve been all over the Arts Faculty
Example
building looking for it but I could only find the School of Accounting and
Economic History. Is this the right place?
F:
Yes this is the School of Economics.
M:
Oh good. Um, I’m a new student and I was wondering if someone could give
me some information.
F:
Well I might be able to help. I lecture on that program. What do you need to
Know?
M:
Quite a few things, actually. Firstly, how many lectures a week do I have to
Attend?
F:
Ah, well, the Economics I course is a double unit so there are two lectures a
week and one tutorial. The lectures are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday.
M:
What time?
F:
Let me see … You know this information is all in the handout which you
Q22
should have received yesterday at the orientation meeting.
M:
Oh, was there a meeting yesterday? I didn’t know about that … no one mentioned …
F:
Yes, there was, but never mind. Now lectures are at four m the afternoon.
M:
Four’s a bit late. I’ve got a part time job that starts at four thirty.
F:
Well, you can’t be in two places at once, can you, and attendance at lectures
Q23
is necessary. We expect at least 90% attendance at this university you know.
M:
90%! That’s high. Do they enforce that rule?
F:
Yes, we do. We’re pretty strict about it actually.
M:
And what times have been set down for the tutorials — do you have that
Information?
F:
That’s a very well attended course so there’s a number of tutorial times.

Practice Test 1
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, all at 9 o’clock. Yours will be allocated at
Q24
the first lecture.
M:
Can’t I choose the time?
F:
Maybe, maybe not.. You’ll have to talk to the lecturer on the course.
Q25
Dr. Roberts is his name.
M:
Oh, OK.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F:
Anything else I can help you with while you’re here?
M:
Well, yes, actually. Do you know what the course requirements are? I mean,
how much work is expected for this course?
F:
Well, you have to complete a tutorial paper.
M:
What does that involve?
F:
Well, it’s a piece of work on a given topic based on some set reading texts.
You’ll have to give a small talk to your tutorial group ...
Q26
M:
How long does that have to be?
F:
Oh, about 25 minutes usually.
M:
I have to talk for 25 minutes?
F:
Yes, that’s right. And then you have to write up your piece of work and give
Q27
it to the lecturer to be marked.
M:
Right. And is that all?
F:
No. You also have to complete a 3,000 word essay on a topic.
M:
Can I choose the topic?
F:
Yes, usually you can.
Q28
M:
Right. That shouldn’t be too bad.
F:
And in addition to that there is an exam.
M:
An exam! What sort of exam?
F:
Well, it’s an open book exam.
Q29
M:
Does that mean I can have the text book with me during the exam?
F:
Yes, that’s right.
M:
And can you give me any idea about the content of the first year of
Economics so that I can get into some reading?
F:
Well, you’ll be getting the reading list next week when lectures start. All the
books are in the library.
M:
Yes, but won’t everyone else take them out as soon as they get the reading
list too?
F:
Well, yes, they might. But most of the important ones are held in Closed
Q30
Reserve ... that’s a part of the library where you can go to read books but
you can’t take them out of the building.
M:
What did you call that section of the library?
F:
Closed Reserve. However, we do recommend that you buy the core books.
You’ll find them useful and you’ll need them for the exam.
M:
Yes, I suppose I will. But what is the focus of the course?
F:
Well, the course at this university has a vocational focus, that is a focus on
Q31
preparing its graduates for work, so we’re orientated very much towards
employment.
M:
So my chances of getting a job are good?
F:
Well, provided you get good results.
M:
Well look thanks for your time. You’ve been really helpful.
