1
You will hear a conversation between an English teacher called Paul and a former student of his called Kira.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
3
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
4
Hello, Kira.
5
How are you?
6
Fine, thanks, Paul.
7
How are you?
8
Well, thanks.
9
It's good to see you.
10
It must be twelve months since you did our course.
11
That's right.
12
It's nice to come back and say hello.
13
What course did you enrol in?
14
Actually, I went straight into third-year pharmacy.
15
They credited me with two years, which probably made it more difficult for me.
16
On the other hand, you were lucky to be granted credits.
17
Is that why you chose the course?
18
Yes, and as I'd already finished a course in it in my country, I thought it would be easier if I studied something I already knew.
19
I didn't realise you went into third year.
20
I thought you started in first year.
21
No wonder it was so hard.
22
And what do you think is one of the big differences between studying at a university here and studying in your country?
23
Well, I found it very difficult to write assignments, because I wasn't familiar with that aspect of the system here.
24
The main problem is that the lectures expect you to be critical.
25
That made me feel really terrible.
26
I thought, how can I possibly do it?
27
How can I comment on someone else's research when they probably spent five years doing it?
28
I think a lot of people who come from overseas countries have similar problems.
29
But after a while, it became easier for me.
30
People expect you to have problems with the process of reading and writing.
31
But in fact, it is more a question of altering your viewpoint towards academic study.
32
Hmm.
33
How was the content of the lectures?
34
Was it easy for you?
35
I didn't really have many problems understanding lectures.
36
The content was very similar to what I'd studied before.
37
And what about the lecturers themselves?
38
Are they essentially the same as lecturers in your country?
39
Well, actually, no. Here they're much easier to approach.
40
After every lecture, you can go and ask them something you didn't understand.
41
Or you can make an appointment and talk to them about anything in the course.
42
Maybe you found them different because you're a more mature student now, whereas when you were studying in your country, you were younger and not so assertive.
43
No, I don't think that's the difference.
44
Most of the students here do it.
45
In my faculty, they all seem to make appointments, usually to talk about something in the course that's worrying them,
46
but sometimes just about something that might really interest them, something they might want to specialize in.
47
The lecturers must set aside certain times every week when they're available for students.
48
That's good to hear.
49
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
50
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
51
And how was your timetable?
52
Was it a very busy year?
53
Oh, very, very busy.
54
They make you work very hard.
55
Apart from lectures, we had practical sessions in a lot of subjects.
56
We did these in small groups.
57
I had to go and work four hours every week in a community pharmacy.
58
Actually, I enjoyed this very much, meeting new people all the time.
59
Then in second semester, we had to get experience in hospital dispensaries.
60
So every second day, we went to one of the big hospitals and worked there.
61
And on top of all that, we had our assignments, which took me a lot of time.
62
Oh, I nearly forgot.
63
Between first and second semesters, we had to work full-time for two weeks in a hospital.
64
That does sound a very heavy year.
65
So, are you pleased now that you did it?
66
Do you feel some sense of achievement?
67
Yeah, I do feel much more confident, which I suppose is the most important thing.
68
And have you got any recommendations for people who are studying from overseas?
69
Well, I suppose they need very good English.
70
It would be much better if they spent more time learning English before they enter the university,
71
because you can be in big trouble if you don't understand what people are saying and you haven't got time to translate.
72
Anything else?
73
Well, as I said before, the biggest problem for me was lack of familiarity with the education system here.
74
It sounds as if it was a real challenge.
75
Congratulations, Kira.
76
Thanks, Paul.
77
That is the end of Section 3.
78
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
79
Thank you.

Schritt-für-Schritt Shadowing-Anleitung

Um deine Englische Aussprache verbessern zu können, ist das Üben durch Shadowing eine ausgezeichnete Methode. Hier sind einige Schritte, wie du die Inhalte dieses Videos effektiv nutzen kannst:

  1. Aktives Zuhören: Höre dir das Gespräch aufmerksam an. Achte auf die Intonation und den Rhythmus der Sprache.
  2. Wiederholung im Schatten: Schreibe die Sätze aus dem Transcript auf und übe sie im shadow speech Stil. Sprich die Sätze gleichzeitig mit den Sprechern nach.
  3. Fokussierung auf schwierige Wörter: Identifiziere Wörter oder Phrasen, die dir schwerfallen, und übe sie separat. Nutze diese Gelegenheit, um deine Englisch sprechen üben Fähigkeiten zu verbessern.
  4. Pausen nutzen: Halte an passenden Stellen an, um sicherzustellen, dass du den Inhalt vollständig verstehst, bevor du weitermachst.
  5. Regelmäßige Übung: Wiederhole diese Übungen regelmäßig. Besuche Schatten-Sprech-Übungen auf speziellen shadowing sites, um kontinuierlich an deiner Aussprache zu arbeiten.

Durch das Shadowing dieser Dialoge wirst du nicht nur deinen Wortschatz erweitern, sondern auch ein besseres Gefühl für den natürlichen Sprachfluss entwickeln.

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.
