Part 1.
2
You'll hear three different extracts.
3
For questions 1 to 6, choose the answer A, B or C, which fits best according to what you hear.
4
There are two questions for each extract.
5
Extract 1.
6
You hear two friends talking about what it's like being an identical twin.
7
Now look at questions 1 and 2.
8
I can't understand why anyone moans about being a twin.
9
I love it.
10
Me too.
11
Everyone thinks you're automatic soulmates, and there is something in that.
12
I know twins who are chalk and cheese and don't get on great, but do admit sharing an irreplaceable bond.
13
The flip side's the absence of individuality.
14
Though we've chosen very different paths in life, my brother and I are always the twins, and our success or failures treated jointly.
15
I've never consciously competed with him, but I've always pushed myself to achieve things on my own merits.
16
As kids, it was fun.
17
Teachers were always mistaking my sister for me, and I let them.
18
I enjoyed strangers' reactions, too.
19
You know, like, we were these rare creatures, extra deserving of attention.
20
My sister hated it, though, and was very direct in letting people know.
21
Can't say anyone fussed over me.
22
But it was useful blaming my brother for things.
23
I can't believe how often I got away with it.
24
We couldn't hide anything from each other, though, so we always knew what the other had done, evening it out.
25
We know one another inside out.
26
I feel like I'm transparent whenever he's around.
27
I can't understand why anyone moans about being a twin.
28
I love it.
29
Me too.

45
Extract 2 You hear two friends discussing sleep and dreams.
46
Now look at questions 3 and 4.
47
Hey John, did you see that programme on dreams?
48
Yeah, fascinating.
49
Especially the bit about remembering them.
50
I've always been able to do that, even as a kid.
51
When I dream, I could do fantastic things, you know, like flying.
52
Me too.
53
And I love talking about dreams.
54
On holiday, when I can lie in and get a bit more snooze time, my recall's even clearer.
55
No wonder the families sigh when I start going on at breakfast time.
56
Mind you, it's hardly exceptional.
57
Some people say they never remember dreams, but the majority, when asked, say they can recall them, even if the memory doesn't last.
58
I read somewhere that what side you sleep on influences your dreams.
59
It isn't conclusive though, so I'm still unconvinced.
60
I often find myself inexplicably irritated some mornings by someone I know, like a colleague.
61
I always wonder why, till suddenly remembering they'd behaved badly in my previous night's dream.
62
Even then I can't shake off the feeling.
63
Weird, isn't it?
64
And nobody's explained why some people get repeated dreams, have they?
65
It must be so strange waking up and realising your dream was the same as one you'd had before.
66
Hmm.
67
Hey John, did you see that programme on dreams?
68
Yeah, fascinating.
69

70

86
Hmm.
87
Extract 3 You hear two friends discussing their visit to an exhibition of paintings by 17th century artists.
88
Now look at questions 5 and 6. That was interesting.
89
I mean, not many works by the more famous painters have survived.
90
So there were a number of paintings by their less well-known contemporaries, weren't there?
91
But I felt there was a point to those, other than bumping up the admission fee.
92
They normally seemed to be there just to pad out an exhibition.
93
Hmm.
94
And it made us look more closely at their paintings rather
95
than just rushing past them to get to the works by great masters and dismissing them as lesser pieces.
96
I think that long-held view has been cast into doubt.
97
And it's interesting, isn't it, to think that largely domestic scenes were once regarded as vulgar
98
and trivial compared with commissioned portraits of royalty that previous artists had traditionally churned out.
99
Yet these scenes of everyday moments are actually more complex than a superficial glance suggests.
100
What people don't realise is that once you look more closely, these paintings will really reward your efforts.
101
Mmm, the drama's implied rather than shown.
102
But you're in no doubt as to what the artist meant.
103
I found the whole thing absolutely fascinating. That was interesting.
104

119
That's the end of part one.
120
Now turn to part two.

Was du lernst

Dieses Video hilft dir, natürliche Gesprächsführung in Englisch zu üben und subtile Meinungsäußerungen zu verstehen. Du lernst, wie man über persönliche Erfahrungen spricht – z. B. über Vor- und Nachteile von Zwillingsein – und wie man Emotionen wie Freude oder Frustration ausdrückt. Außerdem trainierst du, schnelle, informelle Sprache zu folgen, die in Freundesgesprächen üblich ist.

Horch auf diese Klänge

Achte auf verbundene Sprache im Dialog: Wörter wie "there is" werden oft zu "there's", und "I've never" klingt wie "I've nev-uh". Auch Reduktionen wie "can't" (klingt manchmal wie "can") oder "don't get on" (stark verkürzt zu "don't get on") treten auf. Linking tritt auf, wenn Wörter wie "chalk and cheese" zu "chalk 'n cheese" werden. Diese Klänge machen die Sprache flüssiger – übe, sie zu erkennen und nachzuahmen.

Spreche wie ein Native

Um den Rhythmus und die Betonung der Sprecher zu kopieren, nutze Englisch Shadowing (auch "shadowspeak" genannt). Höre einen Satz auf, wiederhole ihn sofort nach und achte darauf, die Betonung zu treffen: Im Satz "I've always pushed myself to achieve things on my own merits" wird "pushed", "achieve" und "own merits" betont. Übe auch die intonation: Freude kommt durch steigende Töne zum Ausdruck (z. B. "I love it!"), während Frustration flacher klingt ("my sister hated it"). Mit Shadow Speak verbessern sich nicht nur Rhythmus und Betonung, sondern auch deine Englische Aussprache nachhaltig.

Englisch lernen mit Videos ist eine tolle Möglichkeit, realistische Sprache zu hören und zu üben. Nutze den Dialog, um deine Fähigkeiten im Shadowing zu trainieren – du wirst sehen, wie schnell du Fortschritte machst!

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
