5

first of all are there still tickets available for the jazz band on Saturday there are
11
but only 15 pounds the 12-pound seats have all been sold the man says that tickets are available for £15,
12
so 15 has been written in the space.
13
Now we shall begin.
14
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
15
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 7.
16
Good morning, Stretton Festival Box Office.
17
How can I help you?
18
Oh, hello.
19
My family and I are on holiday in the area,
20
and we've seen some posters about the festival this week.
21
Could you tell me about some of the events, please? Of course.
22
First of all, are there still tickets available for the jazz band on Saturday?
23
There are, but only £15.
24
The £12 seats have all been sold.
25
OK, and the venue is the school, isn't it?
26
Yes, that's right.
27
The secondary school.
28
Make sure you don't go to the primary school by mistake.
29
And there's an additional performer who isn't mentioned on the posters.
30
Carolyn Hart is going to play with the band.
31
Oh, I think I've heard her on the radio.
32
Doesn't she play the oboe or flute or something?
33
Yes, the flute.
34
She usually plays with symphony orchestras,
35
and apparently this is her first time with a jazz band.
36
Well, I'd certainly like to hear her.
37
Then the next thing I want to ask about is the duck races.
38
I saw a poster beside a river.
39
What are they exactly?
40
Well, you buy a yellow plastic duck,
41
or as many as you like, they're a pound each.
42
And you write your name on each one.
43
There'll be several races, depending on the number of ducks taking part.
44
And John Stevens, a champion swimmer who lives locally,
45
is going to start the races.
46
All the ducks will be launched into the river at the back of the cinema.
47
Then they'll float along the river for 500 metres,
48
as far as the railway bridge.
49
And are there any prizes?
50
Yes.
51
The first duck in each race to arrive at the finishing
52
line wins its owner free tickets for the concert on the last night of the festival.
53
You said you can buy a duck.
54
I'm sure my children will both want one.
55
They're on sale at a stall in the market.
56
You can't miss it.
57
It's got an enormous sign showing a couple of ducks.
58
Okay, I'll go there this afternoon.
59
I remember walking past there yesterday.
60
Now, could you tell me something about the flower show, please?
61
Well, admission is free and the show is being held in Bythwaite Hall.
62
Sorry, how do you spell that?
63
B-Y-T-H-W-A-I-T-E.
64
Bythwaite.
65
Is it easy to find?
66
I'm not very familiar with the town yet.
67
Oh, you won't have any problem.
68
It's right in the centre of Stretton.
69
It's the only old building in the town,
70
so it's easy to recognise.
71
I know it.
72
I presume it's open all day?
73
Yes, but if you'd like to see the prizes being awarded for the best flowers,
74
you'll need to be there at five o'clock.
75
The prizes are being given by a famous actor, Kevin Shapless.
76
He lives nearby and gets involved in a lot of community events.
77
Gosh, I've seen him on TV.
78
I'll definitely go to the prize giving.
79
Right.
80
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
81
you have some time to look at questions 8 to 10.
82
Now listen and answer questions 8 to 10.
83
I've seen a list of plays that are being performed this week,
84
and I'd like to know which are suitable for my children,
85
and which ones my husband and I might go to.
86
How old are your children?
87
Five and seven.
88
What about The Mystery of Muldoon?
89
That's aimed at five to ten-year-olds.
90
So if I take my children,
91
I can expect them to enjoy it more than I do?
92
I think so.
93
If you'd like something for yourself and your husband,
94
and leave your children with a babysitter,
95
you might like to see Fire and Flood.
96
It's about events that really happened in Stretton 200 years ago,
97
and children might find it rather frightening.
98
Oh, thanks for the warning.
99
And finally, what about Silly Sailor?
100
That's a comedy, and it's for young and old.
101
In fact, it won an award in the Stretton Drama Festival a couple of months ago.
102
Okay.
103
Well, goodbye and thanks for all the information.
104
I'm looking forward to the festival.
105
Goodbye.

  2. Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como duck, poster, jazz.

¿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.
