Listening for ielts 7 Unit 1

Linda
: His name is Officer Springirth. The police department put him to work there.
Richard
: What do you mean? Why did the police department put him there?
Linda
: In fact, he isn't a real man. He is a mannequin. Before he was put there people broke into 16 cars 
in two months in the village. When the police department put Officer Springirth on that road there were 
no more break-ins in that area.

: I'm glad to hear it. I think the police department should put more mannequins on other roads 
which often cause accidents.
Linda
: It's a good idea. You know, the crime rate in Chase Village is very low compared to the 
neighboring village.
Richard
: So the most important effect Officer Springirth has is reducing the crime rate.
Linda
: Exactly.
Richard
: I will go to visit my sister next month so I will try that road again.
Linda
: Yes, please do. You will see the changes.
Unit 5
: Listening Activity No. 10 
When you first arrived in Britain you will be given the name and telephone extension number of the 
officer who will be administering your programme. It will be helpful if you make a note in your diary of 
this information and also if you make an appointment in advance by telephone whenever you want to 
see your programme officer.
If your base is to be outside London, you will be given instructions about reaching your destination. 
Please follow these carefully and, again, keep a note of them in your diary.
You should never carry large sums of cash, of whatever currency, on your person. If you bring money 
to Britain you should deposit it in a bank at the earliest opportunity or have it converted into traveler's 
cheques and put any other valuables in a safe place. Be on the look-out for pickpockets, especially in 
crowded streets and at underground stations. Carry valuables in an inside pocket or a firmly closed 
handbag. Never leave a jacket, bag or case lying about unattended in public places such as shops, 
restaurants, buses or trains.
Hotels and hostels usually display a notice disclaiming responsibility for the loss of money and 
valuables that are left in rooms. It is in your interest to leave valuables and large amounts of currency 
with the hotel or hostel management and obtain a receipt for deposited items.
As in many other countries, there are various systems of shopping and for your own peace of mind, 
you should be quite sure you understand the system of payment when making your purchases. The 
following notes may be helpful:
If the shop provides baskets or trolleys, put your purchases in them, never in your own pockets or 
shopping bag. They will be taken out of the basket by the cashier at the pay point and once you have 
paid for them, they can go into your own shopping bag. It is always wise to use the shopping basket
