📝 Transcription dialogue IELTS Speaking
I want to describe a recent urban regeneration project in our city. The Flatline project began in 2015. It converted an abandoned rail corridor into a narrow, green linear park. The council said the intention was to revive a place where economic activity had once flatlined. The project cost about £3 million, although the original budget was much smaller and critics still point to the inflated figures. One of the centrepieces was a bright sculpture called the smiler. The artist nicknamed it the smiler, and children quickly adopted that name. At first the artwork provoked argument. Some residents felt shame at the neglect that had allowed the area to decline. There was also shame among councillors for past mistakes and slow responses. A late thaw in winter delayed the first planting in 2019. The thaw meant heavy mud and soggy ground for several weeks, so contractors could not work. After that, a political thaw followed, with councillors and community groups meeting more often and agreeing small changes. Flatline now hosts weekly markets and guided walks. The smiler has become a familiar sight and a photo spot. Overall, the project shows how a neglected strip can be transformed, despite expense and initial controversy.
📝 📚 Questions de pratique IELTS
1
What was the primary purpose of the Flatline project?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
B
Explication:
The passage states that the Flatline project began in 2015 to convert an abandoned rail corridor into a narrow, green linear park. Options A, C and D are plausible urban projects but are not what the passage describes.
2
When did the smiler sculpture get adopted as a local nickname and photo spot?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
The passage explains that the artist nicknamed the piece the smiler, and children quickly adopted that name, and later it became a familiar sight and photo spot. Options B and C contradict the timeline given, and D is incorrect because the text says it became familiar and a photo spot.
3
What caused the delay to the first planting in 2019?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
B
Explication:
The passage explicitly states that a late thaw in winter delayed the first planting in 2019 because it caused heavy mud and soggy ground. Options A, C and D are plausible causes of delay in general but are not mentioned in the passage.
4
Why did some residents feel 'shame' according to the speaker?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
The speaker says some residents felt shame at the neglect that had allowed the area to decline, so option A is correct. Options B, C and D are plausible issues but are not described in the passage; there is no mention of home loss or forced sales, and while the smiler provoked argument, shame was linked to neglect.
5
What can be inferred about the effect of the smiler on the area?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
The passage notes that the smiler became a familiar sight and a photo spot, so A is the inference. Options B and C contradict the passage, which describes the project continuing and the smiler becoming familiar. D is incorrect because the text says locals adopted the name and it became a photo spot.
6
In the phrase 'a political thaw followed', what does 'thaw' most nearly mean in this context?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
B
Explication:
Here 'thaw' is used metaphorically to describe warmer relations between councillors and community groups, so B is correct. A is incorrect because the sentence is clearly metaphorical; C and D do not match the meaning of 'thaw' in this context.
7
Approximately how much did the speaker say the Flatline project cost?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
B
Explication:
The passage explicitly states the project cost about £3 million. Options A and C are different figures and therefore incorrect. Option D contradicts the statement that the council funded the project and that critics mentioned inflated figures.
