This is the Cambridge First Certificate in English listening test.
5
Test 1.
6
I'm going to give you the instructions for this test.
7
I'll introduce each part of the test and give you time to look at the questions.
8
At the start of each piece, you'll hear this sound.
9
You'll hear each piece twice.
10
Remember, while you're listening, write your answers on the question paper.
11
You'll have five minutes at the end of the test to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.
12
There will now be a pause.
13
Please ask any questions now because you must not speak during the test.
14
Now open your question paper and look at part one.
15
You'll hear people talking in eight different situations.
16
For questions one to eight, choose the best answer A, B or C.
17
1. You hear a restaurant manager talking about the cooks who work for him.
18
What does he say about them?
19
A. They dislike cleaning tasks.
20
B. They have a choice of jobs.
21
C. They help to decide the menu.
22
As restaurant manager, I feel responsible for the quality of the food we serve, so it's up to me to check the ingredients
23
that have been delivered overnight to make sure they are of sufficient quality and to produce a menu for the day.
24
The cooks arrive at about 10 a.m to prepare lunch and I'll take them through the menu.
25
Because lunch is concentrated over a short period of time, it can get very busy and very hot.
26
But unlike some kitchens, we tend to divide the jobs up according to who likes doing what,
27
and that includes cleaning pots and pans and clearing the place before dinner.

35
What does she particularly like about the book?
36
A. It's educational.
37
B. It's well organized.
38
C. It's enjoyable.
39
It's a factual book, a chronicle of the 20th century, and it's wonderful.
40
I mean, it's terribly bitty and it's not going to give you a lot of information, nor be good for schoolwork.
41
That's what's really nice about it.
42
Here is a reference book which it is fun to dip in and out of.
43
It's hardly going to help anyone write an essay and it avoids being geared to any school syllabus, unlike so much of what is published today.
44
But for anyone who likes little details, you know, you can look up your date of birth, for example, and see what else happened then.
45
It's a very good book.

54
What will happen next in the story?
55
A. Someone will make an important decision.
56
B. Someone will go away unexpectedly.
57
See, someone will learn the truth at last.
58
So, there have been some dramatic events in Victoria Street this past week, what with Mariella deciding not to marry Jason and Stephen leaving home in the middle of a family row.
59
Are next week's episodes as exciting?
60
Well, I can't give away the whole story, but I don't think you'll be disappointed.
61
I can tell you that Stephen's mother is forced to tell her husband the secret she's been hiding for years, which leads to more fireworks and a few tears,
62
and Jason refuses to accept Mariella's decision, so you're going to hear a lot more from him, and look out for some surprises there.

69
Who's speaking?
70
A. A taxi driver.
71
B. A porter.
72
C. A tourist guide.
73
We get people to the taxis, that's the first priority, and to the trains.
74
We make sure they get on early and get comfortable seats.
75
These days, many passengers have a lot of luggage and they want assistance with it, so we provide a much needed service.
76
We even take people down to the underground, or to places in the surrounding streets.
77
But the majority of users are airline passengers with a lot of bags, and perhaps accompanied by elderly relatives, young children and so on.
78
Obviously, they can't manage everything on their own.

89
B. She had heard about it on television.
90
C. She wanted to try exercising to music.
91
I exercise in the form of dance.
92
At one time I did aerobics because exercise is more interesting with music, but I've since moved on to line dancing.
93
It's less energetic, but I go three times a week.
94
I run my own business, work hard, and it's just a way to cut off rather than watch television.
95
It's also a challenge keeping up with the new steps.
96
I think young people sometimes take exercise too far, get over-concerned with how they look, when they'll never be able to keep it up at that sort of pace.
97
Whereas line dancing struck me as something I could sustain as part of my normal life.

109
See, it looked wonderful.
110
Well, what did you think of that then?
111
Brilliant.
112
I've never tasted anything like it.
113
I wish now I'd tried this place sooner.
114
I mean, I've been walking past it for years.
115
Why didn't you?
116
Well, to be honest, I never thought I'd be able to afford it.
117
But it's actually quite reasonable.
118
Mind you, I think they could have tried a bit harder with the presentation.
119
I think if food looks good on the plate you automatically expect it to taste good.
120
Yours was okay, but I think they could have made more of an effort with mine.
121
Well, what did you think of that then?
122
Brilliant!

133
What's he talking about?

135
B. Writing fiction.
136
C. Composing music.
137
In practical terms, the place I'm in doesn't matter too much, as long as I have the necessary tools, you know, pencil and paper and of course my keyboard.
138
Once I'm started, I go over things again and again.
139
Must be very dull if anyone's listening.
140
I change a few notes here and there, but basically I tend to stick with an idea once I have it.
141
I guess home's the best place in a way, because there I'm relaxed enough to let my imagination flow.
142
And that's what you need to do in order to produce a good piece.

She does not get on well with her roommates.
149
Well, I'm sharing with two other girls.
150

151
Anyway, the room's rather cramped, but it's great.
152
There've been three parties so far, and it's still the first week.
153
It's an incredibly noisy place, with doors banging and people laughing and shouting till the small hours.
154
Yeah, I suppose we'll have to get down to work soon
155
though I don't know how we'll be able to packed into that little space.
156
None of us is very tidy.

Perché esercitarti a parlare con questo video?
Questo video è una vera gemma per chi vuole migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la pratica di conversazione. Le situazioni reali (un manager di ristorante, una donna che parla di un libro) ti fanno immedesimarti in contesti quotidiani, perfetti per esercitarti con il shadow speak (ripetere immediatamente dopo il parlante). Attraverso i dialoghi, impari a capire l'intonazione, il ritmo e le espressioni colloquiali, elementi chiave per una conversazione fluida. Ecco perché è ideale per il shadowing in inglese: le voci sono chiare, i temi sono accessibili e le ripetizioni ti permettono di rafforzare le abilità di ascolto e produzione.
Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto
Analizziamo alcuni punti chiave dal video:
- "it's up to me to check": Struttura utile per esprimere responsabilità. Esempio: "È up to te decidere il programma" (Tocca a te decidere il programma).
- "divide the jobs up according to who likes doing what": L'uso di "according to" con un complemento di modo. Puoi usarlo per spiegare scelte: "Divido i compiti according to le abilità di ciascuno".
- "it's not going to give you a lot of information": Futuro con "going to" per previsioni. Ottimo per parlare di risultati: "Questo libro non è going to aiutarti con gli esami".
Queste espressioni sono semplici ma potenti, perfette per integrare nella tua pratica di conversazione in inglese.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Nel video, alcuni vocaboli possono creare difficoltà:
- "ingredients": La pronuncia corretta è /ɪnˈɡriːdiənts/, con l'accento sulla seconda sillaba. Evita di dire "in-GRE-di-ents" con l'accento sbagliato.
- "chronicle": Si dice /ˈkrɒnɪkl/, non "cro-NI-cle". La "ch" ha un suono duro, come in "cronaca".
- "syllabus": Pronuncia /ˈsɪləbəs/, con la "u" come in "sun". Molti commettono l'errore di dire "sy-LLA-bus".
Con il shadow speech, ripeti queste parole dopo il parlante per affinare la pronuncia. Ricorda: la chiave è imitare il ritmo e l'intonazione, non solo le parole!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso | she's been hiding · I've been walking |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have been delivered · have been · has just eaten |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | have been delivered · is concentrated · being geared |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | anyone who likes |
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.
