This week, we are looking at an IELTS Speaking Part 2 cue card that asks you to speak about disappointing news.
4
I'll read the cue card to you now.
5
Describe a time when you received some disappointing news.
6
You should say what the news was,
7
when and how you received it,
8
who gave you the news,
9
and explain how you felt about it.
10
Alright, let's listen to the sample so you can hear the model spoken naturally.
11
Here it is.
12
We will now start part two of the exam.
13
Here is your cue card.
14
Start speaking now, please.
15
One time I received really disappointing news was when I found out I didn't get accepted into a scholarship program.
16
This happened about two years ago when I was finishing my final year of university.
17
I received the news through email.
18
I remember opening my inbox early one morning and seeing the message from the scholarship committee.
19
As soon as I read the first few lines,
20
I realized it was a rejection.
21
They thanked me for my application and said the selection process had been very competitive,
22
but, unfortunately, I hadn't been chosen.
23
The email was polite and professional,
24
but I still felt crushed.
25
I had invested so much time preparing my application.
26
I had to write personal statements,
27
gather recommendation letters, and even attend interviews.
28
More than that, the scholarship involved studying abroad,
29
which had been a lifelong dream of mine.
30
At first, I felt disappointed and frustrated,
31
and I questioned whether I had done something wrong.
32
But after a few days,
33
I began to accept it and started looking for alternative paths.
34
In the end, I applied to local programs
35
and was later accepted into one that turned out to be a great fit for me.
36
Looking back, that rejection taught me a lot about resilience and,
37
in a way, showed me that setbacks are part of the growth process.
38
Thank you.
39
Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise.
40
In this week's free sample exercise,
41
you will repeat the response to the first few sentences from the model.
42
I'll read this section again to you now,
43
just to refresh your memory.
44

Vocabulario y notas de pronunciación para esta lección

Esta lección de conversación de nivel C1 se basa en el vídeo “IELTSCast Lesson 216”. Las palabras que más se repiten: scholarship, program, accepted, received, disappointing. Este vídeo tiene 74 frases y 721 palabras para practicar shadowing. La parte hablada dura 6:53. El hablante habla despacio, unas 105 palabras por minuto, así que hay tiempo para imitar cada sonido. Solo el 80 % de las palabras está entre las 3.000 más comunes del inglés, por lo que el vocabulario es exigente.

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

El hablante usa 11 contracciones y formas reducidas, como didn't, I'll, hadn't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: scholarship /ˈskɑːləɹʃɪp/, shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, rejection /ɹɪˈd͡ʒɛkʃən/, crush /kɹʌʃ/
  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, resilience /ɹɪˈzɪl.ɪ.əns/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: scholarship /ˈskɑːləɹʃɪp/, scan /skæn/
  • /z/ — sonora, no /s/: examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, resilience /ɹɪˈzɪl.ɪ.əns/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo

  1. Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
  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 scholarship, disappoint, shadow.

¿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.
