Exercise 1.
4
For each question, choose the correct answer.
5
1. What subject does the boy want to study at university?
6
It's really hard to decide what to study at university because I like science a lot, especially doing experiments.
7
But my history teacher is brilliant this year and I've really enjoyed everything we've done with him.
8
Anyway, in the end, I think IT is the future.
9
I mean, there are more jobs working with technology than jobs which involve knowing things about the past, so that's what I've chosen.
10
2. Where is the girl's physics book?
11
Dad, have you seen my physics book?
12
I think I left it on the kitchen table last night, but it's not there now.
13
You know you should get your school bag ready in the evening.
14
Where were you studying yesterday?
15
In my room, but then I decided to read on the sofa downstairs for a while.
16
Look, here it is, under the cushion.
17
3. When is the chemistry exam?
18
Hi, Danny.
19
I'm just phoning you because I was ill yesterday and I missed the chemistry class.
20
Did the teacher say when the next exam is?
21
Yes, he wanted us to do it next Tuesday, but there's a school trip that day, so he changed the exam to the end of the week.
22
Oh, that's great.
23
If it's on a Friday, we'll have more time to study.
24
Right, it's in the second class.
25
Don't forget we've got to do our biology presentations on Thursday morning as well.
26
Oh, no. 4.
27
Which after-school activity is most popular?
28
There's a wide range of activities to choose from in our after-school clubs.
29
You can join the Art and Design group.
30
There are plenty of spaces in that one, and it's a friendly group.
31
Or there's computer programming, but that might be difficult to get in, because more students have already joined this year.
32
If you like sport, we've also got a multi-sport group.
33
They do a different sport each term, but the more unusual ones, you know, like badminton or squash.
34
5. What did they do when it started to rain?
35
How was your trip to the mountains, Jenny?
36
It was great at first.
37
It was really hot and we found a fantastic place to have lunch under some trees.
38
But in the afternoon the weather changed and it began to rain really hard.
39
It was a long way to the car, but we found a cave where we waited for it to stop.
40
The sun came out again on our way back, so we didn't get wet at all.
41
6. What was the first prize in the competition?
42
Now we have good news for the students from Oak End School.
43
The winner of our nature photography competition this year is Mark Young from Year 10.
44
His school will be presented with a video camera for his photo of sunlight on the trees in the playground.
45
The second prize, which is cinema tickets,
46
goes to Freddie Lawson's class in Green Hill School for his photo of a snail.
47
Thanks to all the schools that took part, they will all receive a certificate.
48
7. Why did the boy go to bed late?
49
You look tired, Sam.
50
Did you go to bed late last night?
51
Yeah, I was watching that TV series about detectives in New York when my brother phoned.
52
The one who lives in Australia?
53
That's right.
54
He didn't remember that it was late for us, but anyway, we were talking until after midnight.
55
Is he okay?
56
He's having a great time, although he's working hard in a restaurant every evening.

Gramática en este vídeo
Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | I've really enjoyed · I've chosen · have already joined |
| Oraciones de relativo who / which + oración — información extra sobre una persona o cosa | prize, which is · one who lives |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — una acción en curso en un momento del pasado | was watching · were talking |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisión, una promesa o una predicción | we'll have · will be · will all |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 10 contracciones y formas reducidas, como we've, didn't, I've. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, cushion /ˈkʊʃən/, squash /skwɔʃ/, presentation /ˌpɹɛzn̩ˈteɪʃn̩/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, biology /baɪˈɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/, certificate /səˈtɪf.ɪ.kɪt/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: squash /skwɔʃ/, snail /sneɪl/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: cave /keɪv/, detective /dɪˈtɛktɪv/, involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, downstairs /daʊnˈstɛɹz/, presentation /ˌpɹɛzn̩ˈteɪʃn̩/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo

- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como examination, badminton, cushion.
¿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.
