1
Now turn to part 4.
2
Questions 20 to 25.
3
Look at the six sentences for this part.
4
You will hear a conversation between a girl, Kate, and a boy, George.
5
Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect.
6
If it is correct, put a tick in the box under A for yes.
7
If it is not correct, put a tick in the box under B for no.
8
You now have 20 seconds to look at the questions for part 4.
9
Now we are ready to start.
10
Listen carefully.
11
You will hear the recording twice.
12
I don't remember much of that lecture.
13
The doctor gave me this medicine for my cough, but I don't like it.
14
It seems to make me awfully sleepy, and I can't follow my lectures.
15
Well, if you don't take it, none of us will be able to follow our lectures.
16
All we'll hear is you coughing.
17
Oh, dear.
18
Do you think I'll annoy everybody?
19
Yes.
20
You could study at home for a couple of days.
21
You know, have some time off until it gets better.
22
Oh, I couldn't do that.
23
I'd miss too much.
24
And I get really uncomfortable when I have a lot of catching up to do.
25
Last year I missed a whole week when I fell off my bike and had that enormous bandage on my hand.
26
It took me ages to do all the work when I came back.
27
Oh, you worry too much.
28
You can work at home.
29
Just get Mr Grey to tell you which parts of the course book we'll be covering and read it yourself at home.
30
All he does is go through the book anyway.
31
You might as well do it yourself.
32
Oh, that's a bit unfair.
33
I think Mr Grey's really nice.
34
He's always willing to stay behind after class if you don't understand something.
35
Being really nice and never in a hurry doesn't make him a good lecturer.
36
Anyway, I think you should look after your health first, and ours.
37
If we sit in that small, hot room with you for the next three days, we'll all have your cough by the end of it.
38
Perhaps you're right.
39
I don't care about myself, but I wouldn't like other people to blame me for their illnesses.
40
I have got a bit of a temperature now, too.
41
So maybe I'll go and see Mr Grey after lunch and tell him I won't be at this afternoon's lecture.
42
Or the next two.
43
Come on, you've got to get better.
44
I suppose you're right.
45
Then we can all go out as we planned at the weekend.
46
OK, then.
47
I don't want to miss that.
48
And I do feel ill.
49
Now listen again.
50
I don't remember much of that lecture.
51
The doctor gave me this medicine for my cough, but I don't like it.
52
It seems to make me awfully sleepy, and I can't follow my lectures.
53
Well, if you don't take it, none of us will be able to follow our lectures.
54

55
Oh, dear.
56
Do you think I'll annoy everybody?
57
Yes.
58

59

60

61

85

86
And I do feel ill.
87
That is the end of part four.
88
You now have six minutes to check and copy your answers onto the answer sheet.
89
That is the end of the test.

¿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.
