📝 Transcription dialogue IELTS Speaking
Recently the city debated a proposal to restrict where street vendors could ply their trade. The idea was to move many sellers out of the main square and into side streets. Supporters said it would tidy the central area. Opponents argued it would be an affront to the neighbourhood's character and to long-established customs. I sat through a meeting where councillors discussed the plan for two hours. In the end the motion went through as a narrow 5-4 vote, and a three-month trial was announced. Some vendors adapted quickly. They simply moved to side streets and continued to ply their trade there. Others tried to attract customers by offering deals and to ply customers with free samples. Many locals felt this treatment was an affront, almost as if the council had dismissed decades of local practice. At the same time a few residents welcomed the change, saying it would reduce litter and noise. From what I could hear, the real issue is balance. Policies that aim to improve order should not unintentionally alienate people. If officials want compliance, they must consult those who ply informal businesses and avoid measures that feel like an affront to common sense.
📝 📚 Questions de pratique IELTS
1
What did the city propose regarding street vendors?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
The passage states there was a proposal to restrict where vendors could 'ply their trade'. B is wrong because the passage mentions restrictions, not a permanent ban. C is wrong because there is no mention of subsidised permanent stalls. D is wrong because the proposal was about restrictions, not legalisation without controls.
2
How did many locals react to the council's decision?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
The speaker says opponents argued it would be 'an affront to the neighbourhood's character'. B is incorrect because the passage indicates opposition, not unanimous support. C is wrong; the text describes clear reactions, not indifference. D is incorrect; no street festivals in support are mentioned.
3
Where did some vendors relocate after the restrictions were announced?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
The passage explicitly states vendors moved 'to side streets' and continued to ply their trade there. B is wrong because indoor markets are not mentioned. C is incorrect; suburbs are not referenced. D is wrong because the main square was where they were moved from, not to.
4
How long was the trial period announced by the council?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
The passage states a 'three-month trial was announced'. B and C are wrong because those durations are not mentioned. D is a misleading detail: 'two hours' refers to how long the meeting lasted, not the trial period.
5
What can be inferred about the vendors who 'ply customers with free samples'?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
The phrase 'ply customers with free samples' indicates vendors use samples to attract or keep customers. B is incorrect because offering samples is the opposite of refusing interaction. C is wrong; there is no mention of price increases. D is incorrect because offering samples suggests they continued trading.
6
Which inference about the effect of the policy on the city's image is best supported by the speaker?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
The speaker says supporters claimed it would 'tidy the central area' while opponents said it was 'an affront' to character, implying tidiness may come at cost of authenticity. B is unsupported and exaggerated. C contradicts the text, which discusses likely effects. D is not mentioned or implied.
7
In the passage, what is the most appropriate meaning of the word 'affront'?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
The context uses 'affront' to describe how opponents felt offended by the policy, so it means an insult or offence. B is wrong; 'affront' is not a legal restriction. C and D are incorrect because they are unrelated to the meaning implied in the passage.
