Unit 9 Listening Part 1 Exercise 4.
2
3. You hear a psychologist in the UK talking about intelligence.
3
Beep.
4
Psychology is quite a young science,
5
which means psychologists haven't had time to measure how or whether our minds are evolving or whether in fact we're getting cleverer.
6
It's hard to prove that our intelligence is actually increasing,
7
even if young people nowadays tend to get higher marks in intelligence tests than they did 50 or 60 years ago.
8
more practice in tests of this type.
9
At the same time, many people think that while exam results have been improving across the country,
10
that's because the exams themselves aren't as demanding as they used to be.
11
Beep.
12
Psychology's quite a young science,
13
which means psychologists haven't had time to measure how or whether our minds are evolving or whether in fact we're getting cleverer.
14
It's hard to prove that our intelligence is actually increasing,
15
even if young people nowadays tend to get higher marks in intelligence tests than they did 50 or 60 years ago.
16
There are a variety of factors which could have an impact on this: better diets, our minds are stimulated more,
17
or just getting more practice in tests of this type.
18
At the same time, many people think that while exam results have been improving across the country,
19
that's because the exams themselves aren't as demanding as they used to be.
20
4. You overhear a boy calling a friend on his mobile phone.
21
Beep.
22
Hi, aid!
23
Oh hi there Jess.
24
Um, eight?
25
I was...
26
sorry, I'm just so tired.
27
Oh, me too.
28
Who wouldn't be after all those mid -year tests we've been doing?
29
Yeah, I've been up studying most nights.
30
So sorry if I hadn't been all that friendly.
31
No problem.
32
Anyway, you weren't irritable with me, so I don't mind.
33
Look, can we meet up some day next week instead of tomorrow?
34
'Cause my mum's just told me I've got a dentist appointment.
35
Poor you.
36
Have you got a toothache or something?
37
No, just my annual check -up.
38
Oh, that's alright then.
39
Let's catch up at school, shall we?
40
OK, see you then.
41
Bye!
42
Beep.
43
Hi, Aid.
44
Oh, hi there, Jess.
45
Um, eight?
46
I was.. sorry.
47
I'm just so tired.
48
Oh, me too.
49
Who wouldn't be after all those mid -year tests we've been doing?
50
Yeah, I've been up studying most nights.
51

59
Oh, that's all right then.
60
Let's catch up at school, shall we?
61
OK, see you then.
62
Bye!
63
5. You overhear a man talking about things which frighten people.
64
Oh yeah, you know, I'll do anything to avoid them.
65
Including going up several flights of stairs?
66
Oh yes, I mean, I just won't go in them.
67
So I sometimes arrive at places a bit breathless.
68
I bet.
69
I think I must have got the problem when I got trapped in one as a kid.
70
I can't have been there for more than 10 minutes, but I was trembling when I came out.
71
It's totally irrational, because we all know that they're completely safe.
72
I suppose it's like planes.
73
I mean, they terrify lots of people, though statistically they're very safe.
74
Well, see you upstairs then.
75
Beep.
76
Oh yeah, you know, I'll do anything to avoid them.
77
Including going up several flights of stairs?

6. You hear a girl talking to a boy about a dream.
88
Beep.
89
Have you ever had a recurring dream?
90
You know, one of those dreams which repeats itself from time to time?
91
Yeah, I have actually.
92
I'm in one of those high places, a mountain top or the top of a building, and suddenly, for no reason, I'm falling.
93
It's terrifying because I fall for some time, but then suddenly I wake up.
94
Wow, that's weird.
95
Do you think it means anything?
96
Well, the interpretation I've read is that it's some sort of fear of failure.
97
You know, there are all sorts of interpretations for other dreams.
98
For example, that you could find something subconsciously threatening and your dream might be sort of pointing that out to you.
99
Have you ever had a recurring dream?

Cathy's been behaving a bit strangely lately, hasn't she?
112
I mean, she's been very quiet and not talking much.
113
Yes, she looks pretty stressed out and I guess it's been giving her bad nights.
114
What's the problem, do you know?
115
Is it to do with her exams or something?
116
Well, she had a maths exam last week, so she must have studied hard for it.
117
But she's always been pretty hard -working, so she can't have got stressed by that.
118
Anyway, she finds maths easy.
119
Lucky her.
120
Hey, do you think she might have had a row with her boyfriend?
121
He can be a bit difficult sometimes, don't you think?
122
Yeah, it must be something like that.
123
Now you've come to mention it, I haven't seen him around recently.
124
Perhaps we'd better ask her about him.
125
And try and cheer her up.

139
8. You hear a boy and a girl talking about the boys' free time activities.
140
Beep.
141
I read this thing on the internet that says your free time activities say lots about you.
142
If you like sport, you probably like being with other people.
143
On the other hand, I'm someone who prefers doing things on his own, like playing computer games, and that probably shows the opposite, you know, that I'd rather be by myself.
144
And you don't feel so comfortable with other people, you mean?
145
Hmm, could be.
146
Then again, people who enjoy travelling are often people who like taking risks, doing new things, if you see what I mean.
147
You're obviously a stay -at -home type.
148
I sure am.
149

¿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.
