Part 3.
2
You will hear two students called Jess and Tom discussing their art projects.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
5
How are you getting on with your art project, Tom?
6
OK.
7
Like, they gave us the theme of birds to base our project on, and I'm not really all that interested in wildlife, but I'm starting to get into it.
8
I've pretty well finished the introductory stage.
9
So have I.
10
When they gave us all those handouts with details of books and websites to look at, I was really put off But the more I read,
11
the more interested I got Me too I found I could research so many different aspects of birds in art Colour,
12
movement, texture So I was looking forward to the bird park visit What a letdown It poured with rain
13
and we hardly saw a single bird Much less used than the trip to the Natural History Museum.
14
Yeah.
15
I liked all the stuff about evolution there.
16
The workshop sessions with Dr Fletcher were good too, especially the brainstorming sessions.
17
Ah, I missed those because I was ill.
18
I wish we could have seen the projects last year's students did.
19
Hmm, I suppose they want us to do our own thing, not copy.
20
Have you drafted your proposal yet?
21
Yes, but I haven't handed it in.
22
I need to amend some parts.
23
I've realised the notes from my research are almost all just descriptions.
24
I haven't actually evaluated anything, so I'll have to fix that.
25
Oh, I didn't know we had to do that.
26
I'll have to look at that too.
27
Did you do a timeline for the project?
28
Yes, and a mind map.
29
Yeah, so did I.
30
I quite enjoyed that.
31
But it was hard having to explain the basis for my decisions in my action plan.
32
What?
33
You know, give a rationale.
34
I didn't realise we had to do that.
35
Okay, I can add it now.
36
And I've done the video diary presentation and worked out what I want my outcome to be in the project.
37
Someone told me it's best not to be too precise about your actual outcome at this stage, so you have more scope to explore your ideas later on.
38
So I'm going to go back to my proposal to make it a bit more vague.
39
Really?
40
Okay, I'll change that too then.
41
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
42
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
43
One part of the project I'm unsure about is where we choose some paintings of birds
44
and say what they mean to us.
45
Like, I chose a painting of a falcon by Landseer.
46
I like it because the bird's standing there with his head turned to one side, but he seems to be staring straight at you.
47
But I can't just say it's a bit scary, can I?
48
Hmm.
49
You could talk about the possible danger suggested by the bird's look.
50
Oh, OK.
51
There's a picture of a fishhawk by Audubon I like.
52
It's swooping over the water with a fish in its talons
53
And with great black wings which take up most of the picture
54
So you could discuss it in relation to predators and food chains?
55
Well, actually, I think I'll concentrate on the impression of rapid motion it gives Right Do you know
56
that picture of a kingfisher by Van Gogh?
57
It's perching on a reed growing near a stream Yes, it's got these beautiful blue and red and black shades I've actually chosen it
58
because I saw a real kingfisher once
59
when I was little I was out walking with my grandfather and I've never forgotten it Oh, so we can use a personal link?
60
Sure OK
61
there's a portrait called william wells i can't remember the artist
62
but it's a middle -aged man who's just shot a bird
63
and his expression
64
and the way he's holding the bird in his hand suggests
65
he's not sure about what he's done to me it's about
66
how ambiguous people are in the way they exploit the natural
67
world interesting there's gogan's picture via amati he did it in
68
tahiti It's a woman with a white bird behind her
69
that is eating a lizard
70
And what I'm interested in is what idea this bird refers
71
to Apparently it's a reference to the never -ending cycle of existence Wow!
72
I chose a portrait of a little boy,
73
Giovanni de' Medici He's holding a tiny bird in one fist I like the way he's holding it carefully
74
so he doesn't hurt it Ah, right!
75
That is the end of part three.
76
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part three.

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。
