Caring for elderly people

...:

Test 2 This is the IELTS listening test.

...:

You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.

...:

There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.

...:

All the recordings will be played once only.

...:

The test is in four parts.

...:

At the end of the test you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

...:

Now turn to part 1.

...:

Part 1 You will hear a woman who is caring for her elderly mother talking to a friend.

...:

First you have some time to look at questions one to four.

...:

Now listen carefully and answer questions one to four.

SPEAKER 1:

It's really good to see you Tom.

SPEAKER 1:

Since I had to give up work I feel I'm losing touch with my friends and colleagues.

SPEAKER 2:

We really miss you in the office.

SPEAKER 2:

We were all so sorry you had to leave.

SPEAKER 2:

But you must be relieved to have more time to look after your mother.

SPEAKER 2:

How is she?

SPEAKER 1:

Well she's very cheerful but she needs a lot of help.

SPEAKER 2:

Have you tried to get any support from the local council?

SPEAKER 1:

No, I didn't know I could.

SPEAKER 2:

Yes, they offer different kinds of practical support.

SPEAKER 2:

They realise that carers sometimes need time for all the other responsibilities they have, apart from the person they're caring for, and also that they sometimes need a break.

SPEAKER 1:

Absolutely.

SPEAKER 1:

Okay, so tell me more.

SPEAKER 1:

How do I go about getting this support?

SPEAKER 2:

Well you'd have to have an assessment of your mother's needs.

SPEAKER 2:

That means someone would come round and talk to you about the situation and what you need.

SPEAKER 2:

So for a start they'd want to know the amount of time you spend looking after your mother every day.

SPEAKER 1:

Okay.

SPEAKER 2:

Then they'll probably ask you what sorts of tasks you do for your mother during the day.

SPEAKER 2:

Things like if she needs help with getting dressed for example.

SPEAKER 1:

Right, I do help her with that, and also I help her get into the shower in the morning.

SPEAKER 2:

Yes, that sort of thing.

SPEAKER 2:

They'll probably ask you if you do the shopping for her and help her at meal times, and whether she can cope using money.

SPEAKER 1:

Yes, that's becoming a bit of a problem.

SPEAKER 1:

She used to be very good at it, but not anymore.

...:

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5-10.

...:

Now listen and answer questions 5-10.

SPEAKER 2:

And be ready to tell them about anything you find particularly difficult about caring for your mother.

SPEAKER 1:

So recently I've noticed she's started to have quite bad problems with her memory.

SPEAKER 1:

If I wasn't there, I think she'd forget to eat, for example.

SPEAKER 1:

And often she doesn't seem quite sure what day it is.

SPEAKER 2:

Yes, tell them about that.

SPEAKER 2:

And are there any physical difficulties you have caring for her?

SPEAKER 2:

Lifting her, for example.

SPEAKER 1:

Yes, she's quite heavy, and I'm afraid of hurting my back.

SPEAKER 1:

I'd be in real trouble if that happened.

SPEAKER 2:

They can give you advice about that, and also about how to avoid the possibility of your mum having a fall.

SPEAKER 1:

Great.

SPEAKER 1:

So once they've done this assessment, if I'm eligible, what happens next?

SPEAKER 2:

Well, they might support you financially, so they might help you with transport costs, like if you have to get a taxi to take your mother for an appointment, for example.

SPEAKER 1:

I usually drive her myself, actually.

SPEAKER 1:

So, could I claim for the petrol?

SPEAKER 2:

You could.

SPEAKER 2:

And you can claim for the insurance, too.

SPEAKER 1:

Oh, right.

SPEAKER 2:

And if you need help with the housework, they can arrange for someone to come along once or twice a week.

SPEAKER 2:

And one other thing.

SPEAKER 2:

I hope you don't mind me saying this, but it's important you look after yourself.

SPEAKER 2:

And it seems to me you're under quite a bit of stress.

SPEAKER 1:

I am, yes.

SPEAKER 2:

Well, tell the council, because they may be able to give you some advice on how to minimise it.

SPEAKER 1:

Really?

SPEAKER 1:

Though, actually, I feel so much better having talked to you.

SPEAKER 1:

I'll get in touch with the council straight away.

SPEAKER 1:

Now, shall we go for coffee?

...:

That is the end of part one.

...:

You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
