1
Now turn to part four.
2
You'll hear an interview with Trina Travos, a pop singer who is only 15.
3
For questions 24 to 30, choose the best answer A, B or C.
4
You now have one minute in which to look at part four.
5
Thank you.
6
Thank you.
7
Marina, you're 15 and you've just come back from America where you've been making records.
8
What was it like?
9
It was wonderful.
10
I had the six-week school summer holidays and, you know, went over there for a month and then started school again.
11
What did your classmates at school think?
12
I just told close friends what I was doing in the States and I thought, well, if the records were successful then I'd tell everyone.
13
And they were successful.
14
Right.
15
And my friends were very good about it, not envious or anything.
16
Did you like being in the USA?
17
Oh, yes.
18
Most of the time it was great.
19
The people are so friendly.
20
Did you manage to write any songs there?
21
Well, yeah, I did.
22
Most of the stuff I'd done in England had been about the people closest to me.
23
You know, mum, dad, my sister.
24
They weren't with me in the States.
25
And although I miss them, and silly things like the rain in England and fish and chips, being surrounded with new faces gave me lots of material for my songs.
26
Now, your home in England is a long way from London.
27
Yes, about as far as you can get.
28
So, is it easy to get into the music business if you live that far away?
29
Don't you have to be in London, or near a big city at least?
30
No, no. We did play in London once.
31
We were actually approached at a local concert, so I don't think it's impossible to get noticed anywhere.
32
There are lots of record companies looking for bands, and they do go quite a long way from the cities to find them.
33
I was lucky with my band, and there have been other bands like us that have been lucky as well, so you don't have to come from a huge city to be discovered.
34
Now, in the USA, you did a song with someone who was a star when I was your age, David Pearson, and you hadn't any idea who he was.
35
No, it was embarrassing, actually, but he was a really pleasant guy.
36
Yeah?
37
He was recording an album in the same studio, and he had this song that he needed someone to sing with him.
38
And he asked me, and I was only too delighted to do it.
39
But that wasn't the only famous star you worked with in the States, was it?
40
No, there was Lance Lakatov.
41
But you had heard of him?
42
Yes.
43
He's a bit of a hero of mine, in fact.
44
And you were in his TV series?
45
Yes.
46
And what was that like?
47
It was a really good experience.
48
I hadn't done anything like that before.
49
And they filmed us for three or four days, you know, and that was the end of it.
50
Oh, so I thought, but they'd made some mistakes, which was such a shame, because I had to go back to the USA.
51
Oh!
52
I came home to England, and then they phoned up and said they had some bad camera work, etc., and had to fly all the way back and do it again.
53
Actually, in the USA, your record did well, but not here in England.
54
Why is that?
55
Because you've never been able to get it over here in Britain.
56
The record company's never had any arrangements to sell their records in Britain, so it's always just been the USA, which is nice, in a way.
57
Why do you say that?
58
Well, it's good to come home and get away from it.
59
But is it that the company don't think your style will appeal over here?
60
No, it's purely the fact they don't operate over here.
61
But the company's just been sold, and the new company does operate over here.
62
So maybe they will release the record.
63
So, where do you see your career going?
64
Will you go back to the States?
65
Well, not for a while, I shouldn't think, as I have another two years at school here in England.
66
I know my school friends are thinking of college, but I'm not sure that's for me, even to do music.
67
Then, my agent has been trying to persuade me to do it full time, and my parents say it's up to me, but I'm happy to wait a while before that happens.
68
I can still write, after all.
69
In fact, one of my songs is in the American charts at the moment, but sung by someone else.
70
Well, the best of luck, Trina.
71
Now you'll hear part four again.
72
Trina, you're 15 and you've just come back from America where you've been making records.
73
What was it like?
74
It was wonderful.
75

140
That's the end of the test.
141
Please stop now.
142
Your supervisor will now collect all the question papers and answer sheets.
143
Thank you.

Perché questo video è ottimo per la pratica di conversazione in inglese?
Il dialogo con la cantante Trina Travos è un materiale perfetto per esercitarti: la lingua è spontanea, il tono è colloquiale e tratta argomenti reali (viaggi, amici, lavoro). Le risposte di Trina sono brevi ma ricche di espressioni naturali, ideali per capire come gli inglesi parlano nella vita quotidiana. E se vuoi migliorare la pronuncia inglese, questo video è una vera chicca: la pronuncia è chiara, con una velocità ragionevole che ti permette di seguire senza sforzo.
Analizziamo alcuni frasi chiave
- "I just told close friends what I was doing in the States": La parola "close friends" (amici intimi) è più naturale di "good friends" in questo contesto. Nota come "in the States" è l'abbreviazione colloquiale di "in the United States" – usata spesso nella conversazione.
- "being surrounded with new faces gave me lots of material for my songs": "New faces" (nuovi volti) è un modo semplice e vividissimo per dire "persone nuove". La struttura "being surrounded with..." è tipica per esprimere una situazione passiva, usata molto nel parlato.
- "I was only too delighted to do it": "Only too delighted" (molto contenta) è un'espressione enfatica che va oltre "very happy". È un modo elegante ma colloquiale per mostrare entusiasmo.
Come esercitarti con il metodo shadow speak
Il shadowspeak (o shadowing) è un metodo efficace per migliorare la pronuncia e la fluidità. Ecco come farlo con questo video:
1. Ascolta una frase di Trina, poi metti in pausa.
2. Ripeti immediatamente la frase, imitando il tono, l'intonazione e la velocità.
3. Registrati mentre ripeti e confronta con l'originale: nota le differenze nella pronuncia di suoni come "th" (in "the") o "v" (in "very").
4. Ripeti il processo per 5-10 frasi al giorno. Con la pratica, noterai che la tua pronuncia diventa più naturale e la tua capacità di seguire conversazioni in inglese migliora.
Questo routine semplice, ma costante, è la chiave per trasformare le tue abilità di parlato: il shadowspeak non è solo ripetere, ma imitare la musica della lingua inglese.
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 | you've been making · has been trying |
| Frasi condizionali if + frase, will/would + verbo — una condizione e il suo risultato | if the records were successful then I'd tell · if the records were successful, then I'd tell |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | you've just come · have been · you've never been |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | being surrounded · were actually approached · be discovered |
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.
