IELTS practice test Cambridge Book 2 – Listening Test 4, MIC House Agency – Repairs ielts listening 2021 9 listening tips for your IELTS exam Attempt all questions – there are no penalties for incorrect answers. Be careful to not waste time on a question that you don’t know though – guess and move on. Watch out for plurals in answers. If the question requires a plural answer, a singular answer is incorrect. Answers appear in the order they are heard in the audio. They come quickly or with large gaps between them. Prepare to hear a potential answer that is not the actual answer. This is common when two people are making plans. They first agree on meeting at a certain time, but then one remembers that they cannot so they decide on a new time. Take care when you transfer your answers and pay attention to the word limit for your answers on your answer sheet! Multiple choice answers will ask for a letter (a, b, c, d). Write the letter and not the corresponding answer. When asked to complete a sentence using no more than two words, and the correct answer is “leather coat,” then “a coat made of leather” is incorrect. Same goes for numbers. Hyphenated words (like “part-time”) are considered as one word. A date (1990) is considered one number. 00:04 – MIC house agency section 1 04:45 – section 1 answers 05:17 – ielts 2 test 4 section 2 10:11 – section 2 answers 10:33 – section 3 ques 31 – 40 15:50 – ielts 2 test 4 section 3 answers 16:20 – section 4 transcript section 4 Section 4 Good evening. Welcome once again to Criminology 201. I’m happy to see you all looking so alert and full of energy after a busy day. Tonight, and for the next few weeks, we will be looking at what is clearly a very important topic – corporate crime. First of all, what do we mean by ‘corporate crime? The simple answer, of course, is crime com-mitted by a corporation, usually by the heads of a corporation working together. But what about a crime committed by, for example, the CEO of a company who, without the knowledge of his colleagues, bribes a government official in order to get a big fat contract for his company? Well, we won’t be looking at this kind of white-collar crime. Rather, we’ll restrict our study to cases where the top people in a business entity work together and knowingly break the law, and especially those cases where, until they get caught, this type of unlawful behaviour Is actually part of the corporate culture. First, why do they do it? The simple answer is ‘to make more money’. Well, most businessmen want to make more money, but they don’t break the law to do so. So what factors make a group of men – yes, they are usually men, but women are by no means immune from this temptation – decide to step outside the law? In the next few weeks we’ll be looking into this question, with a lot of case studies, In some depth. We will also try to divide corporate crime into several categories, and see what they share in common in terms of the psychology and organisational culture of those who commit them. And we will also look into the legal, social, and political settings in which these crimes occur. A particularly interesting aspect of corporate crime is the process of detection, trial, and punishment. It often seems that this type of crime goes on for an unreasonable length of time before it Is detected by the authorities. Is this true, and If so, why? There is also a common perception that people found guilty of corporate crimes are treated much more leniently by the courts than, for example, your common everyday thief, or murderer even. Is this true, and if so, why? I mentioned that we will divide corporate crime into several categories and look at some specific cases. What categories can we think of? Well, one is that of product safety, where a company markets a product that it knows to be unsafe. One of the landmark cases in corporate criminology of this type is the Ford Pinto case. Ford was accused of rushing the production of an unsafe car, and in 1980 there was the criminal trial of the Ford Motor Company for reckless homicide. We will look at the research on white-collar crime and studies on organisational culture and structure to examine the lack of safety and recall regulations that may have contributed to as many as 500 deaths. As one report put it, ‘Much of the literature on the Ford Pinto case focuses on how consumer safety was willingly sacrificed in the face of corporate greed.’ #ListeningTestwithAnswers #IELTS2Test4 #MIChouseagencyieltslistening
