1
Test 2.
2
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
3
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
4
All the recordings will be played once only.
5
The test is in four sections.
6
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
7
Now turn to section one.
8
Section one.
9
You will hear a man interviewing a woman in the street about her use of transport.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions one to five.
11
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
12
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
13
Excuse me?
14
Yes?
15
I wonder if you could spare a few minutes to do a survey on transport.
16
It won't take long.
17
No, that's fine.
18
Lovely.
19
The survey is on behalf of the local council.
20
They'd like to know about what transport you use and any suggestions for improvement.
21
Can I start by asking you how you travelled to town today?
22
Sure.
23
I came on the bus.
24
The woman travelled to town by bus, so bus has been written in the space.
25
Now we shall begin.
26
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
27
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
28
Excuse me?
29
Yes?
30
I wonder if you could spare a few minutes to do a survey on transport.
31
It won't take long.
32
No, that's fine.
33
Oh, lovely.
34
The survey is on behalf of the local council.
35
They'd like to know about what transport you use and any suggestions for improvement.
36
Can I start by asking you how you travelled to town today?
37
Sure.
38
I came on the bus.
39
Great.
40
Now, can I get a few details about yourself?
41
OK.
42
What's your name?
43
It's Louisa.
44
Yes?
45
Hardy.
46
Can you spell that, please?
47
Yes, it's H-A-R-D-I-E.
48
Great, thanks.
49
And can I have your address?
50
It's 19 Whitestone Road.
51
Oh, right, I know that area.
52
It's Bradfield, isn't it?
53
That's right.
54
Is the postcode GT7?
55
It's actually GT8 2LC.
56
Great.
57
And could I ask what your job is?
58
Are you a student?
59
I've actually just finished my training.
60
I'm a hairdresser.
61
Oh, right.
62
And one more question in this section.
63
What is the reason for you coming into town today?
64
Actually, it's not for shopping today, which would be my normal reason, but to see the dentist.
65
Right.
66
Thanks.
67
Before you hear the rest of the interview, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
68
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
69
Now, in this last section, I'd like you to give us some ideas about the facilities and arrangements in the city for getting to and from work.
70
Any suggestions you have for improvements?
71
Well, something I've thought about for some time is that when I do walk and I'm doing a later shift, I think the lighting should be better.
72
Yes, good point.
73
And of course I think it's a real shame they've been cutting down on the number of footpaths.
74
They should have more of those.
75
Then people would walk more.
76
Yes, right.
77
And I don't think there are enough trains.
78
That's why I don't use them.
79
You have to wait so long.
80
Thanks.
81
And finally, I'd like to ask your opinion on cycling.
82
As you may know, there's a drive in the city to get more people to cycle to work.
83
Right.
84
But we realise that there are things which the council, but also employers might do to help encourage workers to cycle to work.
85
Yep.
86
Well, I have thought about it, and where I work there are no safe places to leave your bikes.
87
OK.
88
And also, I'd have to cycle uphill, and on a hot day I'd arrive at work pretty sweaty, so I think I'd need a shower somewhere at work.
89
Right.
90
And I suppose the last thing is that I wouldn't be all that confident about cycling on such busy roads.
91
I think I'd like to see you offering training for that.
92
You know, I'd feel a lot better about starting if that was the case.
93
Well, that's very helpful.
94
Thank you very much for your time.
95
No problem.
96
Bye.
97
That is the end of Section 1.
98
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
99
Now turn to section 2.

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。
