IELTS PRACTICE TASK 2

OK, there are different points around the race track where we need volunteers to go. Look at the bottom of the map and you can see where the race starts. Not far from here are the medical facilities for racers and spectators – and we certainly need help here. To get there from the starting point, head up the track – you can see that the track then divides left and right – you want the track on the right – go up there and then take the first left, and the medical facilities are the first building you come to.

We’ll also need quite a few volunteers to hand out water. The water station is quite a distance from the starting point. Look towards the top of your map – you can see the forest marked out there. On the left of the forest – a little further down – is the water station. It’s the building on the north side of the track.

- H

Now, some of the competitors are not doing the full race. They’re taking part in what we call the Easy Riders race ... though it’s still a challenge, for sure. We need volunteers at the Easy Riders finish point to make sure these competitors get off the track safely and store their bikes in the right place. See where the lake is near the bottom of the map? You’ve got two places marked out either side of the lake. The location of the finish point is to the west of the lake, OK? Just make sure they get off the track as quickly as possible.

- A

We’ve got several big screens around the track so that spectators can view the action and one of the screen operators has asked for assistance. So if you end up volunteering to help with the screen … from the starting point, you keep right, all the way up the east side of the map, until you get to that loop at the top, and that’s where the screen is – with the forest to the west of you. A bit of technical know-how is what’s needed here so if that’s you, please let us know.

- G

We need volunteers for the signal station as this is where the majority of accidents tend to happen. You can see just below the centre of the map that there are three sharp bends in the road – in a row – where the track goes up the steepest hill of the race. The signal station is located there, just above the winding track.

- I

Finally, we need some volunteers for a spectator stand. Sometimes we get over-enthusiastic supporters getting a bit too close to the track and so we need to encourage them to remain on the stand. It’s pretty straight forward to get there. From the starting point, head up the track until it divides, then take the track heading west and the spectator stand is there on the first corner – it’s actually got a view of two tracks running either side of it. Well, if you have any further questions, I’ll be happy to answer ...

- C

M: That’s right. It extracts data from members about the papers they’re reading and organises this information for sale to other people. Subscribers can learn who’s reading what, when and why – far more quickly than through conventional citation analysis. F: And a huge bibliography of hundreds of articles can be achieved within minutes. I used to waste hours doing that

- D

F: Yes, that’s why Mendeley’s seen such tremendous growth since its launch in 2008. Today its libraries contain more than 250 million documents, making it one of the world’s largest academic databases. M: Because it’s a key aspect of scholarship, isn’t it, reading all the literature, citing other people’s papers in your own work to show that your study’s grounded. So it must fill a real gap in the market. M: Whose idea was it? F: Three PhD students in Germany hit upon the idea in 2008 because they were struggling to organise hundreds of research papers. They thought, you know, ‘Why are there all these cool, fun and helpful applications in other fields but not in science?’

- E

M: That’s true. For me, the only downside is that it doesn’t directly promote the ‘open access’ model of scientific publishing, though – you know, where anyone can read research papers for free. Instead, when users find a paper in the Mendeley database and want to download it, they are directed to the publisher’s website and still need to pay for it

- B

F: That’s true – although the basic service is free of charge. For me, the only drawback was that I did find it occasionally failed to extract information from the thousand or so papers that I imported, but having said that –- it was largely successful.
