Shadowing Practice: PET 2 Listening Part 3 Test 3 (Transcript + Key) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Now turn to part three, questions fourteen to nineteen.

You will hear a young woman who has applied for an office job talking about her jobs abroad.

For each question, fill in the missing information in the numbered space.

You now have twenty seconds to look at part three.

Now we are ready to start.

Listen carefully.

You will hear the recording twice.

Hello, Miss Brownlow.

Come and sit down.

Now, I'd like you to tell me more about the two years you spent abroad after leaving school.

Oh, right.

Well, um, I decided to go abroad to see the world.

I only intended staying for six months, but in the end, I stayed two years.

First of all, I worked for a family.

I looked after their three children, all under the age of ten, so I was kept very busy.

I really liked the family, but after six months I was ready for a change, although I didn't want to come home.

Then I applied for a job in a hotel as a receptionist.

That way I could still practice my languages.

And it was really good because I had my own room in the hotel

and I had all my meals there as well.

And then the hotel closed down.

But the manager offered me a job in a bakery.

It belonged to his brother, and I worked there for almost a year.

At the beginning it was really hard because I had to get up so early in the morning, around four o'clock every day.

But once I got used to that, it was great, because I'd finished work by two o'clock in the afternoon, and the rest of the time was my own.

But my parents thought I ought to come home and get a proper job.

I suppose they were right.

So that's when I applied for the job with the Bank International, in their foreign department, and so I continued to use my languages.

You've had quite a lot of experience, haven't you?

Now, if I could ask you...

Now listen 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.
