レッスンを作成中...
1
Bosses at the marketing company I was working for require all graduate trainees to do an MBA
2
when they reach a certain level.
3
I set out intending to return to work with more well -rounded business skills, But it actually proved a real opportunity to stop and think.
4
I met my future business partner on the course and we had the same idea.
5
giving businesswomen a more fashionable alternative to wearing suits.
6
The course was a real springboard.
7
We acquired essential skills, worked on our business plan and, crucially, built up a valuable network of contacts.
8
We've been running our business full time for six months now, and it's the best thing that could have happened.
9
Speaker 2.
10
I'm an international account manager and I wanted to move up the ranks in the company, so I signed up for a part -time business management course to gain a further qualification.
11
I quickly found I could apply the things I learned to my job
12
and talk to my fellow students about challenges I was facing at work, and they'd help me find solutions.
13
I soon got a job offer with an IT company as a result of my networking and now travel the world
14
Only due to the skills I've learned, and partly because of the people I've encountered, their advice and introductions have been a key factor in my success.
15
Speaker 3.
16
I was already working for a healthcare business when I did my MBA.
17
On the course I bumped into a surgeon who told me he needed a tool to help with brain scanning.
18
I explored the feasibility of producing it, created it and then put together a plan.
19
A year down the line, I've graduated.
20
The technology's just been approved by neurologists and it's all going well.
21
So I'm really glad I did it.
22
The fact is, I'd been thinking for some time about setting up my own company.
23
And the course seemed an ideal way to find out more about how to do this.
24
How to work with companies to identify markets and opportunities, for example.
25
Speaker 4:
26
I was involved with securing financial assistance for disabled people for many years
27
and I felt I needed a break and an opportunity to step back from it.
28
So I decided to do the course with a view to
29
helping people to help themselves rather than having to rely on people like me.
30
On the course, I learned the hard skills like finance, but also cultivated soft skills,
31
including how to interact with people from different backgrounds, massively boosting my confidence.
32
Getting a qualification has given me the push to work on an idea I cherish since my teenage years:
33
setting up an online help forum.
34
It's not my job, but it does take up a lot of my time.
35
Speaker 5.
36
I was languishing as an out -of -work graduate when I decided to give the course a go, hoping it might open a few doors for me.
37
I had my degree in English, but I'd never taken any business courses before.
38
My only regret is, I wish business school had taught me more about office politics.
39
One thing I had to learn in the real world, is that you can't logically explain your way into a promotion.
40
you have to befriend your way to success.
41
The qualification I gained was indispensable, however, as it gave me my first real opportunity of a position in what turned out to be
42
A great organization where I'm still employed today.
43
Now you'll hear part 4 again.
44

That's the end of part four.
88
There'll now be a pause of five minutes for you to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.
89
Be sure to follow the numbering of all the questions.
90
I'll remind you when there's one minute left, so that you're sure to finish in time.
91
That's the end of the test.
92
Please stop now.
93
Your supervisor will now collect all the question papers and answer sheets.

弱点を直そう:発音とリズムのポイント

動画の会話では、「business skills」「network of contacts」などの連結発音が多く見られます。特に「of」の弱発音や、単語間のつながりが重要です。また、「I wish business school had taught me more about...」のような仮定法過去のリズムを覚えることで、感情や後悔のニュアンスを伝えることができます。英語シャドーイングを続けることで、これらのポイントを自然にマスターしましょう。

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。
