Creazione lezione...
1
Now open your question paper and look at Part 1.
2
You'll hear three different extracts.
3
For questions 1 to 6, choose the answer, A, B or C, which fits best according to what you hear.
4
There are two questions for each extract.
5
Extract 1.
6
You overhear part of a conversation between the secretary of a golf club and a visitor to the club.
7
Now look at questions one and two.
8
Sorry to be late.
9
This club's a bit off the beaten track, isn't it?
10
Thought I'd never find it.
11
You don't have an in -car satellite navigation system, then?
12
A sat -nav?
13
No, I don't though I suppose I should invest in one.
14
I often have this sort of trouble.
15
Getting to a town's a piece of cake, but after that, well, it's not so much the cost.
16
My friends all have them and tell me the price is going down all the time.
17
But electronic gadgets aren't my favourite things.
18
Fine when they work, nightmare when they don't.
19
A little black box could hardly have been less useful than my map today, though.
20
I wouldn't be without mine now.
21
I won't try and blind you with science, but I do know quite a bit about satellites.
22
The technology is amazing.
23
Position can be pinpointed to within a metre.
24
Of course, accuracy is down to the mapping companies who do the updating work, but new models come out all the time.
25
It's entirely up to you, of course, but imagine never having to ask for directions again.
26
That'll be good.
27
I'll certainly give it some thought.
28
Now you'll hear the recording again.
29
Sorry to be late.
30

31

37

38
Well, it's not so much the cost.
39
My friends all have them and tell me the price is going down all the time.
40

41
Fine when they work.
42

51
I'll certainly give it some thought.
52
Extract 2 You hear part of a discussion in
53
which the anthropologist Paula Drew and the comedian Mike Morton are talking about their lives.
54
Now look at questions 3 and 4.
55
We both grew up in a fairly rough part of the city, Mike, so I'm assuming you used comedy to keep yourself safe and popular in the long run.
56
Well, in school, as you know, if you could run fast or make people laugh, you had a very good chance of surviving and emerging unscathed.
57
I wasn't a fast runner, so I exploited comedy to avoid unwelcome attention.
58
It seemed to come easy and it worked.
59
Your type of comedy is less spontaneous than reflective.
60
You see things from your own point of view, don't you, and create a world for other people to see, whereas I explore the world that's already there, which most people don't see.
61
Don't you think that the key to achieving what you want in life is the realisation
62
that it's going to be tough and the sheer persistence that gets you there in the end?
63
What you have to have is massive self -confidence.
64
With that, you can do anything.
65
And being specific about what it is you want to do.
66
Oh well, that goes without saying.
67
Now you'll hear the recording again.
68

79

80
Extract 3 You hear part of a radio discussion about holiday reading.
81
Now look at questions 5 and 6.
82
If you're English, a nice, sad 19th century romance is very useful if you're on holiday and you get attacked by homesickness,
83
because it conjures up dripping English autumn days perfectly.
84
I always take something by this chap who's written a number of books about the criminal underworld of Boston,
85
Massachusetts, which is hardly culturally or geographically a place that I know, but I find it fascinating.
86
There's no doubt about it.
87
If you compile, as I do, dictionaries of slang for a living, one is drawn inevitably not, alas, to the great classics,
88
who are on the whole rather light on slang, but to someone like this fellow, who has this amazing ability,
89
far beyond quoting, of writing 20 or 40 pages of dialogue in almost incomprehensible slang,
90
which I have the most wonderful time going through.
91
I find it very alluring.
92

La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | can be pinpointed · is drawn |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have been |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | Massachusetts, which is · Massachusetts which is |
Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 38 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come don't, you'll, you're. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “th”: unscathed /ʌnˈskeɪðd/, anthropologist /ˌæn.θɹoʊˈpɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: navigation /nævɪˈɡeɪʃən/, dictionary /ˈdɪk.ʃəˌnɛ.ɹi/, sheer /ʃɪɚ/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: navigation /nævɪˈɡeɪʃən/, dictionary /ˈdɪk.ʃəˌnɛ.ɹi/, inevitably /ɪˈnɛvɪtəbli/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, spontaneous /spɑnˈteɪ.ni.əs/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, incomprehensible /ɪnˌkɑmpɹəˈhɛnsɪb(ə)l/, overhear /oʊ.vɚˈhɪɚ/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: extract /ˈɛkstɹækt/, satellite /ˈsætəlaɪ̯t/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, invest /ɪnˈvɛst/, romance /roʊˈmæn(t)s/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: extract /ˈɛkstɹækt/, satellite /ˈsætəlaɪ̯t/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, romance /roʊˈmæn(t)s/, navigation /nævɪˈɡeɪʃən/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come extract, satellite, whereas.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
