📝 Transcription dialogue IELTS Speaking
I want to talk about the ambivalence many residents feel toward urban redevelopment. There is genuine hope for better housing, and at the same time a deep ambivalence about what will be lost. If planners get decisions wrong they can cripple local transport links. A sudden closure or ill-judged scheme could also cripple a family business on the high street. These changes often create a ripple across neighbourhoods. One project creates ripples that reach as far as school funding and local volunteering schemes. Elderly people tell me derelict shopfronts seem to leer at passersby, like empty eyes judging the street. Even new billboards can leer down from rebuilt facades and feel intrusive to the same people. I should say a council report from 2017 warned that piecemeal redevelopment risks social division. The city hired a consultancy in 2019 that recommended rapid demolition, which many locals opposed. My point is not to block change. Rather, I argue for smaller pilots, active consultation, and policies that reduce the ripple effects of displacement. If we ignore that ambivalence, we risk projects that look impressive but actually weaken communities and cripple what made those places liveable.
📝 📚 Questions de pratique IELTS
1
What single word does the speaker use to describe residents' mixed feelings about redevelopment?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The speaker explicitly uses the word 'ambivalence' twice to describe mixed feelings. B is wrong because although hope is mentioned, the key term is ambivalence. C is wrong because apathy implies no interest, which contradicts the speaker's description. D is wrong because hostility is stronger than the mixed feelings the speaker describes.
2
According to the speaker, what might planners 'cripple' if they make wrong decisions?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The speaker says 'they can cripple local transport links.' B, C and D are not mentioned and are implausible in this local redevelopment context, so they are incorrect.
3
Which consequence does the speaker give as an example of the 'ripple' effect?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The speaker says ripples 'reach as far as school funding.' B, C and D are not mentioned and are broader effects not cited in the passage, so they are wrong.
4
How does the speaker describe the appearance of abandoned shopfronts?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The speaker uses the phrase 'derelict shopfronts seem to leer at passersby.' B, C and D contradict the description of derelict, intrusive shopfronts and are therefore incorrect.
5
Why does the speaker mention the 2017 council report?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The speaker states the 2017 report 'warned that piecemeal redevelopment risks social division,' so it was cited as a warning. B is wrong because the speaker says locals opposed rapid demolition recommended later, not praising it. C and D are not mentioned in relation to the report.
6
What does the speaker imply about large, rapid redevelopment projects?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The speaker warns such projects may 'look impressive but actually weaken communities and cripple what made those places liveable.' B, C and D contradict this implication and are therefore incorrect.
7
In this passage, what is the best meaning of 'cripple' as used by the speaker?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: 'Cripple' is used to mean severely harm or disable local services or businesses. B, C and D are unrelated and do not fit the negative, damaging sense conveyed in the passage.
