📝 Transcripción diálogo IELTS Speaking
Today I want to talk about everyday habits that affect both health and urban pollution. Small choices in the home can make a big difference. For example, uncovered food and damp waste attract pests like cockroaches. Cockroaches thrive where there is mess and standing water, so they are often a sign of poor waste management. Those pests then spread allergens and bacteria, and those problems are amplified across neighbourhoods. Some families still allow children to go barefoot through the house. Allowing small children to go barefoot through the house can transfer contaminants from floors directly to skin. Other people prefer shoes inside, or place mats at doors to catch dirt. I also warn against staying coatless in damp rooms for long periods. Being coatless indoors in cold, humid conditions increases the chance of catching a chill and promotes mould growth. Going coatless to save energy is not a reliable health strategy. We can mitigate these issues by separating organic waste, sealing bins, and educating neighbours. The council even schedules recycling collections on Thursdays, and some leaflets claim bin collections were reduced last year. These specific details may vary, but practical steps work. Informing those who live nearby and changing simple habits reduces pests, lowers pollution indicators, and improves public health.
📝 📚 Preguntas de práctica IELTS
1
Which pest does the speaker mention as being attracted to uncovered food and damp waste?
Respuesta Incorrecta
Respuesta Correcta:
C
Explicación:
The speaker explicitly names 'cockroaches' as attracted to uncovered food and damp waste. Rats, mosquitoes and flies are plausible pests, but they are not the ones mentioned in the passage.
2
According to the speaker, what household behaviour increases direct transfer of contaminants to skin?
Respuesta Incorrecta
Respuesta Correcta:
B
Explicación:
The passage says that allowing children to 'go barefoot through the house' can transfer contaminants from floors to skin. Wearing shoes indoors would do the opposite, mats at doors are suggested to catch dirt (not increase transfer), and windows being closed is unrelated.
3
What risk does the speaker associate with remaining coatless in damp rooms?
Respuesta Incorrecta
Respuesta Correcta:
A
Explicación:
The speaker states that being 'coatless indoors in cold, humid conditions increases the chance of catching a chill.' Attracting cockroaches is linked to food and damp waste, not being coatless. Increasing energy bills and causing immediate poisoning are not mentioned or implied.
4
On which day does the speaker say the council schedules recycling collections?
Respuesta Incorrecta
Respuesta Correcta:
B
Explicación:
The speaker specifically mentions that the council 'schedules recycling collections on Thursdays.' The other days are plausible alternatives but are not given in the passage.
5
Why does the speaker link cockroach presence to wider environmental problems?
Respuesta Incorrecta
Respuesta Correcta:
B
Explicación:
The passage explains that cockroaches 'thrive where there is mess and standing water' and are a sign of poor waste management, linking them to broader sanitation and environmental issues. They do not live only outdoors in clean areas (A is false), they are not described as reducing pollution (C is incorrect), and they are not stated to be a direct cause of air pollution (D is incorrect).
6
What attitude toward individual action does the speaker most clearly support?
Respuesta Incorrecta
Respuesta Correcta:
C
Explicación:
The speaker recommends practical steps—separating waste, sealing bins, educating neighbours—and says small habits can make a difference. This supports option C. Options A and D contradict the speaker's focus on individual action, and B is not suggested.
7
In the sentence 'We can mitigate these issues by separating organic waste,' what is the best meaning of 'mitigate' as used here?
Respuesta Incorrecta
Respuesta Correcta:
C
Explicación:
In context, 'mitigate' means to reduce or lessen the problems. 'Make worse' (A) is the opposite, 'delay permanently' (B) is inaccurate, and 'completely eliminate immediately' (D) overstates the meaning; mitigation implies reduction, not guaranteed immediate elimination.
