Shadowing Practice: In the library George found | IELTS LISTENING TEST | SECTION-1 - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creando lección...
1
You will hear a conversation between two friends called George and Nina about a summer music festival.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 and 2.
3
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
4
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
5
Hi, George.
6
Glad you're back.
7
Loads of people have phoned you.
8
Really?
9
I felt just like your secretary.
10
Sorry.
11
I went into the library this afternoon to have a look at the newspaper,
12
and I came across something really interesting.
13
What?
14
A book?
15
No, a brochure from a summer festival, mainly Spanish music.
16
Look, I've got it here.
17
George says that he found a brochure from a festival,
18
so B has been circled as the answer.
19
Now we shall begin.
20
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
21
Listen carefully and answer questions one and two.
22
Hi, George.
23
Glad you're back.
24
Loads of people have phoned you.
25
Really?
26
I felt just like your secretary.
27
Sorry.
28
I went into the library this afternoon to have a look at a newspaper and I came across something really interesting.
29
What?
30
A book?
31
No, a brochure from a summer festival, mainly Spanish music.
32
Look, I've got it here.
33
Spanish music?
34
I really love the guitar.
35
Let's have a look.
36
So what's this group, uh, Guitarini?
37
They're really good.
38
They had a video with all the highlights of the festival at a stand in the lobby to the library,
39
so I heard them.
40
They play fantastic instruments, drums and flutes and old kinds of guitars.
41
I've never heard anything like it before.
42
Sounds great.
43
Okay, shall we go then?
44
Spoil ourselves?
45
Yes, let's.
46
The only problem is, there aren't any cheap seats.
47
It's all one price.
48
Hmm.
49
Well, in that case, we could sit right at the front.
50
We'd have a really good view.
51
Yeah, though I think that if you sit at the back,
52
you can actually hear the whole thing better.
53
Mmm, yes.
54
Anyway, we can decide when we get there.
55
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
56
you have some time to look at questions three to ten
57
Now listen and answer questions three to ten.
58
So will you fill in the form or shall I?
59
I'll do it.
60
Name, George O'Neill.
61
Address, 48 North Avenue, Westsea.
62
Do you remember our new postcode?
63
Still can't remember it.
64
Mmm, just a minute.
65
I've got it written down here.
66
Ah, WS6-2YH.
67
Do you need the phone too?
68
Please.
69
I'm really bad at numbers.
70
01674 553 242.
71
So, let's book two tickets for Guitarrini.
72
Okay.
73
If you're sure $7.50 each is all right,
74
how do you feel about the singer?
75
Hmm, I haven't quite decided,
76
but I've noticed something on the booking form that might just persuade me.
77
What's that then?
78
Free refreshments.
79
Really?
80
Yes, look here.
81
Sunday, 17th of June.
82
Singer.
83
Ticket £6 includes drinks in the garden.
84
Sounds like a bargain to me.
85
Yes.
86
Let's book two tickets for that.
87
So, what else?
88
I'm feeling quite keen now.
89
How about the pianist on the 22nd of June?
90
Anaventura?
91
I've just remembered that's my evening class night.
92
That's okay.
93
I'll just have to go on my own.
94
But we can go to the Spanish dance and guitar concert together, can't we?
95
Yes, I'm sure Tom and Kieran would enjoy that too.
96
Good heavens, £10.50 a ticket.
97
I can see we're going to have to go without food for the rest of the week.
98
We'll need to book four.
99
Ugh, wish we were students.
100
Look, children, students, and senior citizens get a 50% discount on everything. If only.
101
That is the end of Section 1.
102
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
103
Thank you.

¿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.
