1
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 hear two friends talking about what it's like being an identical twin.
7
Now look at questions 1 and 2.
8
I can't understand why anyone moans about being a twin.
9
I love it.
10
Me too.
11
Everyone thinks you're automatic soulmates, and there is something in that.
12
I know twins who are chalk and cheese and don't get on great, but do admit sharing an irreplaceable bond.
13
The flip side's the absence of individuality.
14
Though we've chosen very different paths in life, my brother and I are always the twins, and our success or failures treated jointly.
15
I've never consciously competed with him, but I've always pushed myself to achieve things on my own merits.
16
As kids, it was fun.
17
Teachers were always mistaking my sister for me, and I let them.
18
I enjoyed strangers' reactions, too.
19
You know, like, we were these rare creatures, extra deserving of attention.
20
My sister hated it, though, and was very direct in letting people know.
21
Can't say anyone fussed over me.
22
But it was useful blaming my brother for things.
23
I can't believe how often I got away with it.
24
We couldn't hide anything from each other, though, so we always knew what the other had done, evening it out.
25
We know one another inside out.
26
I feel like I'm transparent whenever he's around.
27
I can't understand why anyone moans about being a twin.
28
I love it.
29
Me too.

45
Extract 2 You hear two friends discussing sleep and dreams.
46
Now look at questions 3 and 4.
47
Hey John, did you see that programme on dreams?
48
Yeah, fascinating.
49
Especially the bit about remembering them.
50
I've always been able to do that, even as a kid.
51
When I dream, I could do fantastic things, you know, like flying.
52
Me too.
53
And I love talking about dreams.
54
On holiday, when I can lie in and get a bit more snooze time, my recall's even clearer.
55
No wonder the families sigh when I start going on at breakfast time.
56
Mind you, it's hardly exceptional.
57
Some people say they never remember dreams, but the majority, when asked, say they can recall them, even if the memory doesn't last.
58
I read somewhere that what side you sleep on influences your dreams.
59
It isn't conclusive though, so I'm still unconvinced.
60
I often find myself inexplicably irritated some mornings by someone I know, like a colleague.
61
I always wonder why, till suddenly remembering they'd behaved badly in my previous night's dream.
62
Even then I can't shake off the feeling.
63
Weird, isn't it?
64
And nobody's explained why some people get repeated dreams, have they?
65
It must be so strange waking up and realising your dream was the same as one you'd had before.
66
Hmm.
67
Hey John, did you see that programme on dreams?
68
Yeah, fascinating.
69
Especially the bit about remembering them.
70
I've always been able to do that even as a kid.
71

85

86
Hmm.
87
Extract 3 You hear two friends discussing their visit to an exhibition of paintings by 17th century artists.
88
Now look at questions 5 and 6. That was interesting.
89
I mean, not many works by the more famous painters have survived.
90
So there were a number of paintings by their less well-known contemporaries, weren't there?
91
But I felt there was a point to those, other than bumping up the admission fee.
92
They normally seemed to be there just to pad out an exhibition.
93
Hmm.
94
And it made us look more closely at their paintings rather
95
than just rushing past them to get to the works by great masters and dismissing them as lesser pieces.
96
I think that long-held view has been cast into doubt.
97
And it's interesting, isn't it, to think that largely domestic scenes were once regarded as vulgar
98
and trivial compared with commissioned portraits of royalty that previous artists had traditionally churned out.
99
Yet these scenes of everyday moments are actually more complex than a superficial glance suggests.
100
What people don't realise is that once you look more closely, these paintings will really reward your efforts.
101
Mmm, the drama's implied rather than shown.
102
But you're in no doubt as to what the artist meant.
103
I found the whole thing absolutely fascinating. That was interesting.
104
I mean, not many works by the more famous painters have survived.
105

That's the end of part one.
120
Now turn to part two.

Che cosa praticerai in questa lezione
Questa lezione si basa su un video con dialoghi reali tra amici, ideale per migliorare la comprensione auditiva e la pronuncia in inglese. Analizzerai conversazioni su gemelli identici e sogni, esercitandoti a seguire il ritmo e l'intonazione naturale. È perfetto per chi vuole approfondire il "shadowing in inglese", una tecnica efficace per rafforzare la fluenza.
Vocabolario e frasi chiave
- Chalk and cheese: Espressione inglese per indicare due persone molto diverse. Esempio: "I gemelli sono chalk and cheese, ma hanno un legame forte".
- Flip side: Il lato opposto di una situazione. Esempio: "Amo essere gemello, ma il flip side è la mancanza di individualità".
- On my own merits: Per i miei meriti personali. Esempio: "Ho raggiunto i successi on my own merits".
- Transparent: Trasparente, nel senso di essere facilmente capito. Esempio: "Con mio fratello, mi sento transparent".
- Remembering dreams: Ricordare i sogni. Argomento centrale del secondo dialogo del video.
Consigli per il practice: shadowing
Il video ha un tono colloquiale e un ritmo medio, perfetto per esercitarti con il "shadow speech". Ecco come procedere: 1. Ascolta un frammento di 5-10 secondi e ripetilo immediatamente, imitando l'intonazione e la velocità. 2. Concentrati sulle pause e sulle parole enfatizzate (es. "I love it" o "fascinating"). 3. Usa un shadowspeaks o un shadowing site per registrare te stesso e confrontarti con l'originale. Ripeti l'esercizio finché la tua pronuncia e il tuo ritmo non si avvicinano al naturale. Questo metodo aiuta a internalizzare le strutture linguistiche e a migliorare la confidenza nella conversazione.
Imparare l'inglese con i video è un modo divertente e efficace: con questi dialoghi, potrai esercitarti non solo a capire, ma anche a parlare come un madrelingua. Non sottovalutare il potere del shadowing: è la chiave per superare le barriere della fluenza!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | we've chosen · I've always pushed · I've always been |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | has been cast |
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.
