Shadowing Practice: CAE TEST29 PART4 - Learn English Speaking with Video

Part 4 consists of two tasks.

You'll hear five short extracts in which people are talking about memorable events.

Look at task 1.

For questions 21 to 25, choose from the list A to H what the event was.

Now look at task 2.

For questions 26 to 30, choose from the list A to H why the speaker found the event memorable.

While you listen, you must complete both tasks.

You now have 45 seconds to look at Part 4.

Thank you.

I've just been to something I'm sure I'll remember all my life.

It was one of my favourite bands of all time playing in front of the National Gallery.

It was just the perfect setting, a square surrounded by elegant historic buildings.

Quite a severe location in some ways, but that suited their style.

The bit I'll personally always treasure was how taken my son was by it all.

Usually he's a bit dismissive of my tastes in songs, but he agreed to let me drag him along

and it was clear from his face

that he found it spellbinding i've now agreed to go along to watch a cricket match with him

and hope i'll be equally surprised to find it enjoyable

speaker two it was an absolutely extraordinary evening well worth the

long rail journey i'd had to make to get there the speakers were excellent managing to be both moving

and witty in a way that seemed totally appropriate given the nature of the occasion,

a hundred years since the halls that had housed such a major national exhibition had burnt down.

But I remember the event also for personal reasons.

I bumped into a friend I hadn't seen for a good ten years, a guy I used to play football with before we both headed off to university.

I'd thought about him often but hadn't managed to find out where he was living or what he was doing now, despite googling him every now and then.

Speaker 3 When you think back over the memorable events in your life,

I think sometimes it's relatively ordinary ones that can stand out more than the big public occasions.

My grandfather becoming 80, for example, had a surprisingly significant impact on my life.

A famous actor who'd been to school with Grandpa, gave a very touching speech about the importance of roots, and it came to me with total clarity

that I really did want to move back to the town where I grew up.

I'd been turning the idea over in my mind for quite some time, but might never have got round to doing anything about it had it not been for that speech.

Speaker 4 I met Fiona when we were both on a train going to the airport last month, and we started talking about where we were heading.

Fiona told me she was going back to the island where she'd spent many happy holidays as a child,

but this time because she had to attend a conference in connection with her work as an architect.

I explained

that I was off to the city where I'd had the

luck as a child to go to the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.

The thing that struck me most then were the fireworks over the snowy mountains.

I don't think I've ever seen anything more stunning in the twenty years since.

Speaker 5 I was a bit late coming home last night because I'd had to hand in a piece of lost property.

I'd found a purse on the floor of the auditorium.

You remember I was going to see one of my favorite plays it was an excellent performance

but i think i'll remember the evening most because of that purse

when i looked inside it the credit card had the name of a really famous political figure on it

do you think they might ask to meet me

when they learn their purse has been handed in they should be very grateful

because there was a lot of money in there And I mean a lot.

Enough to buy a new car.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
