📝 Trascrizione dialogo IELTS Speaking
I want to describe our town's Culture Festival. It began long ago as an electoral procession. People walked the streets to mark local votes. Even today electoral banners are part of the parade and remind people of that history. Volunteers prepare the stage carefully. They roughen the surface to stop performers from slipping. They also roughen the wooden ramps for the floats near the river. In older records a wretched puppet show appears in the program. That wretched show is often told as an example of humble beginnings. Some performers still tell stories of wretched conditions backstage in those early years. Local leaders give adulatory speeches at the opening. The newspapers were strangely adulatory about the handmade costumes last year. Some older residents call the event a misalliance of customs. They mean it mixes things that did not originally belong together. This misalliance is visible when modern bands play next to folk dancers. Purists can be upset by that mixture, but many visitors enjoy it. Volunteers roughen the street corners too, before the parade. The mayor even joked about eating a sandwich on the main stage. Fireworks are mentioned for Sunday evening as a celebration. Overall, the festival blends history, politics, and fun in a way some call clumsy, and others call charming.
📝 📚 Domande pratica IELTS
1
What does the speaker say was the festival's original purpose?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
C
Spiegazione:
The speaker states the festival 'began long ago as an electoral procession.' Option A and B are not mentioned. Option D is mentioned, but the puppet show appears later as part of the program, not as the festival's original purpose.
2
What action do volunteers take to reduce slipping on stage?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The passage says 'They roughen the surface to stop performers from slipping.' Laying carpets (B) or adding lighting (D) are plausible safety measures but not mentioned. Polishing the floor (C) would make slipping worse and is not in the text.
3
How do some older residents describe the festival?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
B
Spiegazione:
The speaker explicitly says 'Some older residents call the event a misalliance of customs.' 'Perfect tradition' (A) is opposite to that view. 'Strictly political' (C) and 'modern music show' (D) are partial or different descriptions and were not how older residents were quoted.
4
What does the speaker note about the newspapers' coverage?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The passage states 'The newspapers were strangely adulatory about the handmade costumes last year.' The other choices are not supported; they are contrary to the stated 'adulatory' tone.
5
Why might purists be upset, according to the speaker?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
C
Spiegazione:
The speaker explains 'This misalliance is visible when modern bands play next to folk dancers. Purists can be upset by that mixture.' Options A and B are not mentioned. Option D is a humorous detail but not given as a reason for purists' concerns.
6
What is the best meaning of 'adulatory' as used in the passage?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
B
Spiegazione:
The word 'adulatory' means showing excessive praise. The context about newspapers being 'adulatory about the handmade costumes' supports that meaning. 'Criticising' (A), 'neutral' (C), and 'humorous' (D) are incorrect meanings.
7
What can be inferred about backstage conditions in the festival's early years?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
B
Spiegazione:
The speaker says performers tell stories of 'wretched conditions backstage in those early years,' so we can infer conditions were poor. Options A and D contradict this. Option C is not mentioned and is unlikely given the description.
