Complete the notes below.

Use no more than three words for each answer.
3
Good afternoon.
4
I'm glad you all found your way here.
5
Now I'd like Dr. Wallace to introduce us to the Arboretum.
6
Good afternoon.
7
Although at first glance the arboretum may look like a park,
8
It is a research and teaching facility that also provides a place for people to develop a positive relationship with nature.
9
Thank you.
10
when then University of Wisconsin -Madison purchased the land, mostly during the 1930s.
11
Much of it bore little resemblance to its pre -settlement state.
12
Instead, it had been turned into cultivated fields and pastures that had fallen into disuse.
13
The university's Arboretum Committee decided
14
early on to try to bring back the plants and animals that had lived on the land before its development.
15
Though they may not have anticipated it at the time,
16
The committee's foresight resulted in the Arboretum's ongoing status as a pioneer in the restoration and management of ecological communities.
17
In focusing on the re -establishment of historic landscape, particularly those that predated large -scale human settlement,
18
they introduced a whole new concept in ecology.
19
Ecological Restoration the process of returning an ecosystem or piece of landscape to a previous,
20
usually more natural, condition.
21
Madison was a fast -growing city in the 1920s.
22
Fortunately, some leading citizens recognised the need to preserve open space for Madison's residents.
23
Most of the Arboretum's current holdings came from purchases these civic leaders made during the Great Depression.
24
In addition to inexpensive land, the Depression brought a ready supply of hands to work it.
25
Between 1935 and 1941, Crews from the Civilian Conservation Corps were stationed at the Arboretum
26
and provided most of the labour needed to begin establishing ecological communities within the Arboretum.
27
Efforts to restore or create historic ecological communities have continued over the years,
28
with the result that the Arboretum's collection of restored ecosystems is not only the oldest, but also the most extensive such collection.
29
In addition to these native plant and animal communities, the Arboretum, like most arboreta,
30
has traditional collections of labelled plants arranged in garden -like displays.
31
These horticultural collections, featuring trees and shrubs of the world, are the state's largest woody plant collections.
32
Now listen to the first part of the test again.

61
Now listen to the second part of the test.
62
There will now be a 30 -second pause to allow you to read the questions.
63
"'I see they're building another gated community near the town centre.' Oh, I really hate those places.
64
They're not that bad, surely.
65
That's what you think.
66
For a start, I can't stand the people who live in them.
67
"Rich young idiots showing off how much money they've got !" "Come on,
68
be fair !" Not everyone in a gated community is young or an idiot. And anyway...
69
It's their business how they spend their money, isn't it?
70
No, because those places are bad for society.
71
Really?
72
Yes, really.
73
Those gates say 'rich people only'.
74
Peasants keep out.
75
It's insulting!
76
And it makes ordinary people hate the rich.
77
Hang on!
78
Are you sure that all this hatred isn't just jealousy?
79
Wouldn't you live there if you could afford it?
80
Me?
81
Do me a favour.
82
Now listen to the second part of the test again.

102

103
Now listen to the third part of the test.
104
There will now be a 30 -second pause to allow you to read the questions.
105
Ten years ago, Jack Johnson was virtually unknown outside the surfing fraternity.
106
Now, with five best -selling albums under his belt and worldwide sell -out tours, those days of anonymity seem a world away.
107
He's also the number one selling artist in iTunes history, and we welcome him today.
108
So Jack, which came first for you, surf or song?
109
Or definitely surf.
110
That goes way back to when I was around five.
111
My dad was a surfer and all my friends were surfers, without exception.
112
So when and how did the music come in to challenge surfing as number one priority?
113
Well, that's quite a long story.
114
It was the Pipeline Surfing Championship in Maui in 1992.
115
I was the youngest competitor to make it to the finals, so I created a bit of a stir among the other surfers who looked on me as an outsider.
116
I saw the competitiveness and the egos and the anger that is involved in competition.
117
I caught two waves and, in fact, had the best tube in the heat, but the reaction of the others was to force me out of getting a third.
118
I can still see my friends on the shore cheering me on and screaming, You're a winner!
119
And I can remember that passion for victory burning in me.
120
Anyway, I was eventually disqualified for failing to catch three waves in thirty minutes.
121
I'd expected more camaraderie from the fraternity, and it felt like I'd been cheated.
122
It was the first thing that turned me off surfing.
123
professionally.
124
I can see why.
125
Then a week later I was riding a wave after school one day and I fell.
126
I was driven into a coral reef.
127
I was out of the water for a few months
128
because I had a lot of stitches and I lost my front teeth.
129
That was when I started playing guitar a little more than just as a kind of a hobby.
130
I I'd played for years, so it wasn't a new thing for me, but I had never given it too much time.
131
After the accident, I played to fill in the hours that I used to surf every day.
132
I was just good enough to put together chords and make melodies, but after those two months were up, I was back on the water just as much as I had been before.
133
I do admit it had a psychological impact.
134
It humbled me, and it slowed me down.
135

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
