Part 3.
2
You will hear two students called Jess and Tom discussing their art projects.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
5
How are you getting on with your art project, Tom?
6
OK.
7
Like, they gave us the theme of birds to base our project on, and I'm not really all that interested in wildlife, but I'm starting to get into it.
8
I've pretty well finished the introductory stage.
9
So have I.
10
When they gave us all those handouts with details of books and websites to look at, I was really put off.
11
But the more I read, the more interested I got.
12
Me too.
13
I found I could research so many different aspects of birds in art.
14
Colour, movement, texture.
15
So I was looking forward to the bird park visit.
16
What a letdown.
17
It poured with rain and we hardly saw a single bird.
18
Much less used than the trip to the Natural History Museum.
19
Yeah.
20
I liked all the stuff about evolution there.
21
The workshop sessions with Dr Fletcher were good too, especially the brainstorming sessions.
22
Ah, I missed those because I was ill.
23
I wish we could have seen the projects last year's students did.
24
Hmm, I suppose they want us to do our own thing, not copy.
25
Have you drafted your proposal yet?
26
Yes, but I haven't handed it in.
27
I need to amend some parts.
28
I've realised the notes from my research are almost all just descriptions.
29
I haven't actually evaluated anything, so I'll have to fix that.
30
Oh, I didn't know we had to do that.
31
I'll have to look at that too.
32
Did you do a timeline for the project?
33
Yes, and a mind map.
34
Yeah, so did I.
35
I quite enjoyed that.
36
But it was hard having to explain the basis for my decisions in my action plan.
37
What?
38
You know, give a rationale.
39
I didn't realise we had to do that.
40
OK, I can add it now.
41
And I've done the video diary presentation and worked out what I want my outcome to be in the project.
42
Someone told me it's best not to be too precise about your actual outcome at this stage, so you have more scope to explore your ideas later on.
43
So I'm going to go back to my proposal to make it a bit more vague.
44
Really?
45
OK, I'll change that too then.
46
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
47
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
48
One part of the project I'm unsure about is where we choose some paintings of birds
49
and say what they mean to us.
50
Like, I chose a painting of a falcon by Landseer.
51
I like it because the bird's standing there with his head turned to one side, but he seems to be staring straight at you.
52
But I can't just say it's a bit scary, can I?
53
Hmm.
54
You could talk about the possible danger suggested by the bird's look.
55
Oh, OK.
56
There's a picture of a fish hawk by Audubon I like.
57
It's swooping over the water with a fish in its talons
58
and with great black wings which take up most of the picture
59
So you could discuss it in relation to predators and food chains?
60
Well, actually, I think I'll concentrate on the impression of rapid motion it gives Right Do you know
61
that picture of a kingfisher by Van Gogh?
62
It's perching on a reed growing near a stream Yes, it's got these beautiful blue and red and black shades.
63
Mm-hmm.
64
I've actually chosen it because I saw a real kingfisher once when I was little.
65
I was out walking with my grandfather, and I've never forgotten it.
66
Oh, so we can use a personal link?
67
Sure.
68
OK.
69
There's a portrait called William Wells.
70
I can't remember the artist, but it's a middle-aged man who's just shot a bird,
71
and his expression and the way he's holding the bird in his hand suggests he's not sure about what he's done.
72
To me, it's about how ambiguous people are in the way they exploit the natural world.
73
Interesting.
74
There's Gogan's picture via a matty.
75
He did it in Tahiti.
76
It's a woman with a white bird behind her that is eating a lizard.
77
And what I'm interested in is what idea this bird refers to.
78
Apparently it's a reference to the never-ending cycle of existence.
79
Wow!
80
I chose a portrait of a little boy, Giovanni de' Medici.
81
He's holding a tiny bird in one fist.
82
I like the way he's holding it carefully so he doesn't hurt it.
83
Ah, right!
84
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.
