تدريب Shadowing: How Good Is Your English Listening? Take This Test! - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

Shhh!

Which one of these do you hear?

That is embarrassing!

That was fun, right?

I am here to challenge your English listening skill.

We have 15 questions.

5 beginner questions, A1, A2.

5 intermediate ones, B1, B2.

And 5 advanced questions, C1, C2.

First, I will read the question and show you the options.

Then, you will listen to an audio file, and finally, I will give you the correct answer.

Now look, if you need to listen to an audio file more than once, feel free to pause the video,

rewind, and play again as many times as you need to.

Yes, it is a test and a challenge, but at the same time, I want you to improve your listening skill.

Also, if you want to download the full list of all these questions, go ahead, scan this QR code with your phone

or click on the link above this video and you can download the PDF for free.

Are you ready to challenge yourself?

Let's get started with the beginner part.

Let's start easy.

Question one, how did the speaker go to school today?

And the options are on foot, by car or by bus.

Ready?

Let's listen.

This morning I woke up a bit late so I didn't have time to walk.

My mum offered to drive me but she had to leave early.

It was raining too so walking wasn't a good idea anyway.

That's why I took the bus instead.

So here's the script and as you can see the speaker said that is why I took the bus instead.

So the correct answer is C.

Let's go to question number two which is

which pencil belongs to the speaker blue red

or green ready let's go on my desk there are four pencils one red one green one blue

and one yellow i gave the green one to my sister

and the blue one doesn't work well the red one is mine

and i always use it for writing here's the script you can pause the video

and read the script

but as you can see in the script it says the red one is mine

so the red pencil belongs to the speaker easy right every question gets a bit more challenging

so stay till the end of this lesson let's go question

three what is the speaker doing this saturday option one playing football option two visiting their grandmother

and option three going shopping let's have a listen i usually

play football on saturdays it's something i look forward to all week

but this weekend my family is going to visit my grandmother

so i won't be playing football i'll be visiting her instead

as you can see from the script the speaker said i won't be playing football i'll be visiting her

and who's her grandmother

so the correct answer is option b visiting their grandmother question four of the beginner level

which train did the speaker book we're looking for the correct

train option one is half past six two a quarter past seven or three 8 o 'clock.

This one may be a bit more challenging, so pay attention.

Let's go.

I planned to book the 6 .30 train, but I was too late.

It was already full.

I didn't want to wait too long, so I chose the next one available.

That one was at 7 .15, so now I have a bit of time before I leave.

I'll grab a coffee while I wait for the 7 .15 train.

I loved this one.

It was tricky, right?

So from the script, you can see that the speaker said, I wait for the 7 .15 train.

7 .15 is a quarter past seven.

So the correct answer is B, a quarter past seven.

Let's get to the last question of the beginner A1, A2 level.

Ready?

Here's the question.

Which test did the speaker score highest in?

Reading, writing, or listening?

Let's go.

I had three tests this week.

Reading, writing, and listening.

I got 85 in reading and 90 in writing.

But in listening, I got 92.

I'm happy with all of them.

I studied really hard.

I think I need to improve my reading as it wasn't my highest score.

Here's the script.

You can pause and have a look.

As you can see from the script, The highest score was 92 for the listening part of the test.

So the correct answer here is option C, listening.

We're done with A1, A2 level.

How did you do?

How many correct answers have you had?

Don't forget to let me know in the comment section of this video.

Now, we're going to level up the test and the challenge.

Are you ready to go to B1, B2 intermediate level?

Let's get started with the first question.

What was disappointing about the hotel?

The staff were rude, it was noisy and small, or it was too far from the city?

Let's have a listen.

We booked the hotel based on great online reviews.

The photos looked amazing.

But when we arrived, we were disappointed.

The rooms weren't as big and quiet as we had expected.

We could barely sleep because of the traffic outside.

Lovely.

You could clearly see that this one is a bit more challenging than the previous ones because it's B1, B2.

Now, here's the script.

100

And from the script, you can see that the speaker said, the rooms weren't as big and quiet as we had expected.

101

They weren't as big and quiet.

102

So if they weren't big and quiet, then they were small and noisy.

103

Which option is that?

104

B. It was a tricky one, right?

105

Let's go to question seven.

106

What does the speaker say about the lecture?

107

Option one.

108

It was difficult to understand.

109

It was long but engaging.

110

It was too basic for their level.

111

Ready?

112

Let's listen.

113

The lecture was over an hour long, which I usually find difficult but the speaker was so clear and engaging that I didn't lose focus at all.

114

She broke everything into easy to follow steps.

115

It took over an hour, but it was very enjoyable.

116

So according to the script, from what you can see, the speaker said it took over an hour, but it was very enjoyable.

117

It took over an hour means it was long, but was it bad?

118

No, it was enjoyable.

119

It was engaging.

120

It was good.

121

So the correct answer would be B.

122

It was long, but it was engaging.

123

Moving on to the next question.

124

What does the speaker suggest about the email?

125

Pay attention because this one is a bit tricky.

126

It might not have been sent.

127

It was sent to the wrong person or it contained incorrect information.

128

Are you ready?

129

Pay close attention to this one, guys.

130

Let's go.

131

He said he sent the email last night, but I checked.

132

There's no record of it.

133

Not in the inbox not in spam not even in the logs his excuse didn't sound believable

134

so now i'm wondering

135

if he ever sent it at all interesting right look at

136

the script as you can see the speaker said there is

137

no record of it the speaker could not find it

138

but then go towards the end of the script the speaker says i'm wondering

139

if he ever sent it at all so he or she's questioning did he send me the email at all?

140

So the correct answer would be A.

141

It might not have been sent.

142

Did he even send it?

143

Let's go to the next one.

144

Question nine.

145

We're getting to the end of the intermediate level.

146

Here's the question.

147

Why was the speaker hesitant to accept the offer?

148

A. The salary was too low.

149

B. The job wasn't interesting. Or C.

150

She doubted the company's future.

151

Are you ready?

152

Let's go.

153

The job offer came with a great salary and benefits, but I wasn't sure about the company itself.

154

I did some research and there were reports of recent layoffs and financial issues that made me hesitant to accept the offer.

155

Look at the script.

156

This is what the speaker said.

157

There were reports of recent layoffs and financial issues.

158

Layoffs means some of the workers are no longer working for that company and the company is having financial issues.

159

Okay, so the company is firing employees and they're having financial issues what does

160

that tell you it tells you exactly option c she doubted

161

the company's future is this even a good company that's the

162

answer now we're getting to the last question are you ready

163

this is question 10 last question of the intermediate level here

164

it is what did the speaker think about the event it went smoothly overall it looked fine

165

but had hidden problems it was well run

166

and efficient let's go on the surface the event seemed like a success the venue was decorated nicely

167

and everything ran on time

168

but behind the scenes it was a mess the departments weren't communicating supplies were delivered late

169

and several staff were double booked okay let's have a look

170

at the script at one point the speaker said behind the

171

scenes it was a mess was the mess visible no it

172

was behind the scenes it was something in the background so

173

which option is the correct one b it looked fine

174

but had hidden problems behind the scene it was a mess remember

175

and that's it go to the comment section now

176

and let me know how many correct answers of the intermediate level have you had

177

so we have five questions of beginner five questions of intermediate

178

and now we're going to the last part the highest level

179

c1 c2 now i have to tell you guys this part

180

is very challenging i'm super excited i'm going to see how

181

you guys are going to perform i loved the questions

182

that i've prepared for you

183

so let's go question 11 the first question of c1 c2

184

level what does the speaker believe about the data pay attention to the options it shows strong results

185

that confirmed the strategy was effective.

186

It is promising but likely contains overly positive projections.

187

Even looking at the question shows how high the level is, right?

188

And option C, it was manipulated to make the company look good.

189

I want you to pay close attention to this audio file, and if you need to listen more than once, do it.

190

Pause, rewind, play again, listen as many times as you need to, okay?

191

Let's go.

192

Although the data seemed promising at first glance, the second review revealed inconsistencies that couldn't be ignored.

193

The figures in the third quarter were significantly higher than expected, perhaps even too high.

194

Some argued it reflected successful strategy implementation, but others, myself included, suspected the projections were overly optimistic.

195

Personally, I think a more conservative interpretation is warranted.

196

That was nice, right?

197

Quite challenging.

198

Look at the script, pause and have a look.

199

Now, at one point in the script, the speaker said the projections were overly optimistic.

200

Optimistic means too positive, right?

201

So the projections were overly, overly optimistic.

202

That's the key word.

203

And at the end, the speaker said, I think a more conservative interpretation is warranted.

204

So the speaker is saying, this is too optimistic this is too positive

205

which option shows this option b it is promising it's good it's good it's promising it's positive

206

but likely contains overly positive projections overly optimistic overly positive let's

207

go to the second one i hope you're enjoying this challenge

208

question 12 how did the professor seem to feel about the study's findings option one she trusted the data

209

but criticized the team's effort.

210

Option two, she was clearly impressed and fully supported the results.

211

And option three, she was polite but seemed doubtful about the results.

212

Are you ready?

213

Pay close attention.

214

Let's go.

215

The professor didn't explicitly say the results were invalid, but her phrasing suggested she wasn't entirely convinced.

216

When she mentioned the sample size and the methodology, there was a definite pause, like she was holding something back.

217

Of course, she praised the team's effort but it was clear that her confidence in the findings was limited

218

now here's the script as you can see the speaker said of course she praised the team's effort

219

so she was good she was a good person she was

220

polite right she praised the team's effort good job guys bravo well done

221

but then what happened then it was clear

222

that her confidence in the findings was limited she was not very sure of the findings great job guys

223

but not so sure which option would

224

that be option c she was polite she praised the team's work

225

but seemed doubtful about the results she wasn't sure the findings are correct

226

that was the second one let's go to the third one

227

question 13 why did the speaker decide not to attend the

228

conference option a they weren't interested in the conference topics option

229

b they felt the proposal was too urgent to delay and option C, their supervisor advised them not to go.

230

Are you ready?

231

Let's have a listen.

232

I was torn between attending the regional conference and staying behind to finish the proposal.

233

The conference offered valuable networking, but the timing couldn't have been worse.

234

In the end, I chose to stay, not because I didn't see the benefits of going, but because the proposal simply couldn't wait.

235

I still wonder whether it was the right call.

236

Now, look at this script you can pause and have a read

237

and then play again now in one part of the script the speaker said

238

because the proposal simply couldn't wait the proposal couldn't wait what does it mean it means it was urgent so

239

which answer is it the correct answer is they felt the

240

proposal was too urgent to delay it simply couldn't wait that's

241

the correct answer now let's move on to question 14 we're

242

almost over with this challenge pay close attention to this one

243

i don't want you to lose any points here's the question

244

what did the speaker discover about the problem option a the

245

update caused a new issue with the software option b the hardware had a hidden issue revealed by the update

246

and option c the it team introduced the error during testing

247

three options one question let's go initially i thought the issue was with the software update it seemed like the obvious cause.

248

But after running multiple diagnostics and speaking with the IT team, I realized the glitch was actually tied to the hardware.

249

Ironically, the update just exposed a problem that had been there all along.

250

If anything, it helped us catch it early.

251

Okay, here's the script.

252

Now, as you can see, at one point in the script, the speaker said, the update just exposed a problem.

253

What kind of problem?

254

A problem that had been there all along.

255

Was it a new problem?

256

No, it was a problem that existed.

257

So what happened after the update?

258

The problem that existed for a very long time was exposed.

259

Now we could see the problem.

260

So which option is the correct one?

261

That's clear.

262

Option B.

263

Option B says the hardware had a hidden issue.

264

There was an issue, a pre -existing issue revealed by the update.

265

So when the update was launched, when the update was released, the issue was exposed.

266

That's the correct one.

267

I hope you're enjoying this.

268

Now, we're getting to the very last question.

269

I hope you've enjoyed this.

270

One question left.

271

Let's go.

277

Let's go to the last one.

278

Here's question 15.

279

What impressed the speaker most about the presenter? her detailed slides and visual design, her ability to stay calm and honest during questions,

280

her confident delivery during the prepared speech.

281

Are you ready to go for this last one?

282

Let's go.

283

Her presentation was well -researched and confidently delivered, but what stood out most was the way she handled the Q &A session.

284

Rather than deflecting difficult questions, she addressed them head -on, even when she didn't have a perfect answer.

285

That honesty, combined with her composure made a strong impression.

286

It wasn't just about what she said, but how she responded under pressure.

287

Now, here's the script, and look towards the end of it, the last sentence.

288

It says, it wasn't just about what she said.

289

So, what she said was impressive, but what was most impressive was this one, but how she responded under pressure.

290

She was under pressure.

291

She responded so well.

292

It's not about what she said.

293

It's about how she responded under pressure.

294

So which one is the correct answer?

295

B, her ability to stay calm and honest during questions.

296

She was under pressure, but she responded well.

297

She was calm and she did well.

298

Okay guys, I hope you've enjoyed this lesson as much as I have.

299

I want you to go down to the comment section and let me know.
