1
Part 4 consists of two tasks.
2
You'll hear five short extracts in which people are talking about memorable events.
3
Look at task 1.
4
For questions 21 to 25, choose from the list A to H what the event was.
5
Now look at task 2.
6
For questions 26 to 30, choose from the list A to H why the speaker found the event memorable.
7
While you listen, you must complete both tasks.
8
You now have 45 seconds to look at Part 4.
9
Thank you.
10
I've just been to something I'm sure I'll remember all my life.
11
It was one of my favourite bands of all time playing in front of the National Gallery.
12
It was just the perfect setting, a square surrounded by elegant historic buildings.
13
Quite a severe location in some ways, but that suited their style.
14
The bit I'll personally always treasure was how taken my son was by it all.
15
Usually he's a bit dismissive of my tastes in songs, but he agreed to let me drag him along
16
and it was clear from his face
17
that he found it spellbinding i've now agreed to go along to watch a cricket match with him
18
and hope i'll be equally surprised to find it enjoyable
19
speaker two it was an absolutely extraordinary evening well worth the
20
long rail journey i'd had to make to get there the speakers were excellent managing to be both moving
21
and witty in a way that seemed totally appropriate given the nature of the occasion,
22
a hundred years since the halls that had housed such a major national exhibition had burnt down.
23
But I remember the event also for personal reasons.
24
I bumped into a friend I hadn't seen for a good ten years, a guy I used to play football with before we both headed off to university.
25
I'd thought about him often but hadn't managed to find out where he was living or what he was doing now, despite googling him every now and then.
26
Speaker 3 When you think back over the memorable events in your life,
27
I think sometimes it's relatively ordinary ones that can stand out more than the big public occasions.
28
My grandfather becoming 80, for example, had a surprisingly significant impact on my life.
29
A famous actor who'd been to school with Grandpa, gave a very touching speech about the importance of roots, and it came to me with total clarity
30
that I really did want to move back to the town where I grew up.
31
I'd been turning the idea over in my mind for quite some time, but might never have got round to doing anything about it had it not been for that speech.
32
Speaker 4 I met Fiona when we were both on a train going to the airport last month, and we started talking about where we were heading.
33
Fiona told me she was going back to the island where she'd spent many happy holidays as a child,
34
but this time because she had to attend a conference in connection with her work as an architect.
35
I explained
36
that I was off to the city where I'd had the
37
luck as a child to go to the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.
38
The thing that struck me most then were the fireworks over the snowy mountains.
39
I don't think I've ever seen anything more stunning in the twenty years since.
40
Speaker 5 I was a bit late coming home last night because I'd had to hand in a piece of lost property.
41
I'd found a purse on the floor of the auditorium.
42
You remember I was going to see one of my favorite plays it was an excellent performance
43
but i think i'll remember the evening most because of that purse
44
when i looked inside it the credit card had the name of a really famous political figure on it
45
do you think they might ask to meet me
46
when they learn their purse has been handed in they should be very grateful
47
because there was a lot of money in there And I mean a lot.
48
Enough to buy a new car.
49

Who Is This Video For?
This video is ideal for intermediate to advanced English learners prepping for exams like the CAE or focusing on english speaking practice. It’s perfect for those aiming to understand natural conversational flow, as the speakers discuss memorable events with real-world context—great for building listening comprehension and mimicking everyday speech patterns.
Words & Idioms Worth Stealing
Boost your vocabulary with these standout phrases from the dialogue:
- Taken by: To be impressed or captivated (e.g., "My son was taken by the band’s performance").
- Turn over in my mind: To think about something repeatedly (e.g., "I’d been turning the idea over in my mind").
- Spellbinding: Extremely fascinating (e.g., "He found the concert spellbinding").
- Bumped into: To meet someone unexpectedly (e.g., "I bumped into an old friend").
How to Get the Accent Right
Use the shadowing technique to master pronunciation and intonation. Pause the video after short phrases, then repeat them immediately, matching the speaker’s rhythm and stress. Focus on: - Reduced forms like "I’ve" and "I’d" (common in casual speech). - The rise and fall in sentences like "It was just the perfect setting"—stress "perfect" to emphasize emotion. - Linking words, such as "drag him along" (connect "drag" and "him" smoothly). For extra practice, use a shadowing site to record yourself and compare to the original. This helps refine shadow speech and improve English pronunciation by training your mouth to move like a native. Keep sessions short (5-10 minutes) to stay focused—consistency beats length!
דקדוק בסרטון הזה
המבנים שהדובר משתמש בהם הכי הרבה, עם המילים המדויקות מהסרטון:
| מבנה | בסרטון |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verb — הרגל או מצב שהיה נכון בעבר וכבר לא קיים | used to play |
| הווה מושלם (Present perfect) have/has + past participle — פעולה שקרתה בעבר ועדיין יש לה חשיבות או השפעה עכשיו | I've just been · i've now agreed · I've ever seen |
| סביל (Passive voice) be + past participle — הדגש הוא על מה שקורה, לא על מי שעושה את הפעולה | has been handed |
| משפטי זיקה (Relative clauses) who / which + clause — מידע נוסף על אדם או דבר | ones that can |
מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
