Hello, this is the Cambridge Assessment English Flyers Listening Test.
7
Part 1 Listen and look.
8
There is one example.
9
Look at this picture of the new shopping centre in my town.
10
It looks nice.
11
But they haven't finished it yet, I think.
12
There's a man who's going to do some work.
13
The man who's wearing a baseball cap?
14
Yes.
15
That's Richard.
16
He's a painter and he lives on our street.
17
Can you see the line?
18
This is an example.
19
Now you listen and draw lines.
20
Can you see the woman who's holding the envelopes?
21
That's my Aunt Sarah. Does she work there?
22
Yes, she does.
23
Her office is on the fifth floor.
24
Ah, so she's going to take the elevator to her office.
25
That's right.
26
There are too many stairs.
27
Do you know that man in the uniform?
28
The man who's cooking something?
29
No, not him.
30
The other one.
31
Oh, okay.
32
You mean the firefighter.
33
Yes.
34
He's waving to someone.
35
His name's Oliver.
36
He's a friend of my dad's.
37
Look at that woman's scarf.
38
It's very bright.
39
That's Emma, my friend's mom.
40
She always wears clothes like that. Does she?
41
I think she's just bought a newspaper.
42
Perhaps.
43
She goes to the shopping center every day to buy something or have a coffee.
44
Okay.
45
So she doesn't work there?
46
No, she doesn't.
47
Another one of my dad's friends is there, too.
48
Is he the man who's wearing the shirt and striped tie?
49
No, he's going into that shop.
50
Look.
51
Oh, yes.
52
The man in the sweater.
53
That's right.
54
His name's William.
55
He looks nice.
56
Do you see the woman who's reading the magazine?
57
Yes.
58
What's her name?
59
That's Helen.
60
She's my mom's best friend.
61
Her hair's the same as your mom's, long and straight.
62
I know.
63
Now listen to part one again.
64
Can you see the woman who's holding the envelopes?
65
That's my Aunt Sarah. Does she work there?
66

104
She's my mom's best friend.
105
Her hair's the same as your mom's, long and straight.
106
I know.
107
That is the end of part one.
108
Part two.
109
Listen and look.
110
There is one example.
111
OK, children, I want to tell you about our school camping trip next Monday.
112
I love camping.
113
Can I ask a question, please?
114
Yes, of course, Katie.
115
Where are we going to stay?
116
Well, this year we're going to stay in the desert for two nights.
117
Oh, wow!
118
That's so cool!
119
Can you see the answer?
120
Now you listen and write. Where will we camp?
121
We won't be far from the famous Silver Pyramid.
122
Sorry, I mean the Gold Pyramid.
123
You can actually see it from our camping place.
124
Oh, I've heard about that.
125
My dad says it's amazing.
126
It is.
127
I've seen it several times.
128
What do we need to take with us for the camping trip?
129
Well, just the usual things, really.
130
Nothing special.
131
The school will bring a hat for everyone, because it'll be very hot there.
132
And you mustn't forget to put your sunglasses in your bag.
133
OK.
134
What will we do on the first day?
135
We'll learn about the life of the people who live there.
136
Their food, their work, their homes.
137
We'll also see some wild horses that live there.
138
We can't ride those, but you can all go for a ride on camels.
139
Cool.
140
I've never done that before.
141
So what are we going to eat?
142
Well, you're going to eat something very nice on the first night.
143
We'll cook it on the fire.
144
Meatballs and rice. That sounds fantastic.
145
My mum often makes that.
146
Who's going to come with us on the trip?
147
Well, I'll be there.
148
And Miss Birch, the new science teacher, will come too.
149
Um, I don't know her.
150
How do you spell her name?
151
It's B-I-R-C-H.
152
You'll like her.
153
She's very kind.
154
OK.
155
I can't wait.
156
Now listen to part two again. Where will we camp?
157
We won't be far from the famous Silver Pyramid.
158
Sorry, I mean the Gold Pyramid.
159
You can actually see it from our camping place.
160
Oh, I've heard about that.
161
My dad said it's amazing.
162
It is.
163

164

166

188
You'll like her.
189
She's very kind.
190
OK.
191
I can't wait.
192
That is the end of part two.
193
Part three.
194
Listen and look.
195
There is one example.
196
Where did Aunt Betty buy each of these things in her cupboard?
197
I like your belt, Aunt Betty.
198
Where did you get it?
199
I bought that on holiday.
200
We visited a market and they had lots of nice things there.
201
Was it expensive?
202
No, it was actually very cheap.
203
Can you see the letter B?
204
Now you listen and write a letter in each box.
205
What about this necklace?
206
Did you buy that on holiday too?
207
Yes, I did.
208
I got it on the day that we left home.
209
Oh, so did you get it when you were waiting at the airport?
210
That's right.
211
This crown's really cool.
212
You worked as an actor, didn't you?
213
Did you buy it at a shop in the theater?
214
Well, I wore it when I was acting.
215
I played a queen.
216
Wow, I'm sure you were great.
217
Thanks.
218
I loved doing it.
219
I found it in a small shop at the museum in town one day when I was there with my friend.
220
She bought one, too.
221
Is she also an actor?
222
Yes, she is.
223
I've worn these gloves a lot.
224
They're nice, but they look a bit old now.
225
Well, I've had them for ten years.
226
I always wore them when I was traveling to work.
227
Do you remember where you bought them?
228
Let me think.
229
Oh, yes, in the shop at the castle.
230
Oh, I know.
231
They have some really cool things there.
232
This ring's great.
233
Was it a present?
234
No. I bought it when I was on holiday with your uncle.
235
There was one just like it in the shop at our hotel.
236
So did you decide to buy it then?
237
No. We left the shop and walked to the beach.
238
And guess what?
239
What?
240
I found the same one there, but it was much cheaper.
241
So you got that one.
242
That's right.
243
Mom has an umbrella that looks like this.
244
Did you go shopping together?
245
I don't think so, no. I bought this when I was shopping at the market one day.
246
Okay.
247
No, wait a minute.
248
I remember now.
249
I got it at the shop at the train station on my way to the city because it started to rain.
250
I like the colors.
251
It's pretty.
252
I love it, too.
253
It's my favorite one.
254
Now listen to part three again.
255
What about this necklace?
256
Did you buy that on holiday too?
257
Yes, I did.
258
I got it on the day that we left home.
259
Oh, so did you get it when you were waiting at the airport?
260
That's right.
261

277

279
Oh, yes, in the shop at the castle.
280

296
No. I bought this when I was shopping at the market one day.
297
Okay.
298
No, wait a minute.
299

300

301
I like the colors.
302
It's pretty.
303
I love it, too.
304
It's my favorite one.
305
That is the end of part three.
306
Part 4.
307
Listen and look.
308
There is one example.
309
How did Michael get to the hotel?
310
Did you have a nice holiday, Michael?
311
Yeah, it was fantastic.
312
Our hotel was in the centre of town.
313
Did you go there by car?
314
Actually, we took a boat.
315
It was fun.
316
Oh, I see.
317
And then did you use the bus when you were there?
318
Yes, we did.
319
Can you see the tick?
320
Now you listen and tick the box.
321
One.
322
What did Michael have in his hotel room?
323
What was your room like?
324
It was really big.
325
It had a balcony and there was a great TV on the wall.
326
That sounds nice.
327
There was a tablet there too for us to use.
328
What a good idea.
329
And you can use that as a clock when you want to know the time.
330
That's right.
331
Two.
332
Who stayed in Michael's room?
333
Who stayed in your room with you?
334
I wanted my brother to stay with me, but he wanted his own room.
335
Well, he's older than you, so that's OK.
336
Yeah, I know.
337
Dad was in my room and my baby sister stayed with my mum.
338
I hope she didn't cry too much.
339
She did.
340
She cries a lot.
341
Three.
342
What was the weather like on Friday?
343
Last Friday, I saw something amazing.
344
Oh, what was that?
345
Well, it was windy in the morning, but then it rained a lot, and there was the most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen in the sky.
346
Wow, you're lucky.
347
We just had a lot of fog here.
348
I know.
349
My friend told me that too.
350
Four.
351
Which food did Michael eat every day for breakfast? Was the food nice?
352
Yes, it was wonderful.
353
Everyone's favourite meal was breakfast.
354
Why was that?
355
They had some really nice yoghurt.
356
Dad ate that.
357
And Mum had bread and eggs for breakfast.
358
Did you have the same?
359
I had the honey.
360
It was really delicious, so I had that with bread every morning.
361
Five.
362
What did Michael lose?
363
You didn't send me a postcard, Michael.
364
I got you one and I wanted to send it to you.
365
So what happened?
366
Well, when I was walking to the post office with my brother, he dropped his phone and keys.
367
Oh, no. Yes, and while I was picking them up for him, it fell out of my pocket into the river.
368
Sorry.
369
Now listen to part four again.
370
One.
371

386
Dad was in my room and my baby sister stayed with my mum.
387

388
She did.
389
She cries a lot.
390

418
That is the end of part four.
419
Part five.
420
Listen and look at the picture.
421
There is one example.
422
I'd like to colour this picture.
423
Is that OK?
424
Yes, that's fine, David.
425
Can you see the puppies in the picture?
426
Uh-huh.
427
There are two.
428
And the little one that's running across the grass looks like a naughty one.
429
I agree.
430
Color that one green.
431
Okay.
432
I'm doing that now.
433
Can you see the green puppy?
434
This is an example.
435
Now you listen and color and write.
436
One.
437
I'd like to color one of those birds now, I think. Of course.
438
Color the largest one.
439
How about blue for that?
440
Okay.
441
I've got that color right here.
442
That's very pretty.
443
Thanks.
444
Two.
445
Okay, shall I color something else now?
446
Yes, please.
447
I want you to color the backpack now.
448
Alright.
449
Which color can I use for that?
450
Well, how about purple?
451
Can I do it orange?
452
That's my favorite color.
453
Yes, that's fine.
454
Three.
455
There's a big box below the apple tree.
456
Can I write something on the front of it?
457
Yes.
458
Write the word wood on it, below the word fire, because that's what's in that box, actually.
459
Sure.
460
I can do that.
461
And there's a box under the table, too.
462
Has it got the same thing in it?
463
No, that's got all the plastic picnic cups and plates in it.
464
Four.
465
The butterfly is beautiful.
466
Can I color that red?
467
The one flying near the boy who's all alone under the tree?
468
Not that one.
469
The one that the girl's taking a photo of.
470
It's really nice.
471
Yes, it is.
472
Okay.
473
I'm going to color it now.
474
Great.
475
Thanks.
476
It looks lovely.
477
Do you see the bag on the table?
478
I want you to color that now.
479
The one next to the pizza?
480
No, the one near the glass bottles.
481
Oh, okay.
482
I see it now.
483
Actually, can I write something on it?
484
All right.
485
How about writing the word cookies on the front?
486
Mmm, that's making me hungry now.
487
It's a great picture now.
488
Thanks.
489
Now listen to part five again.

¿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.
