Test 3.
2
This is the IELTS Listening Test.
3
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
4
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
5
All the recordings will be played once only.
6
The test is in four parts.
7
At the end of the test, you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
8
Now turn to part one.
9
Part 1.
10
You will hear a man talking to the coordinator of a photography club.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
12
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
13
Hello Wayside Camera Club, Breeder speaking.
14
Oh, hello.
15
My name's Dan, and I'd like to join your club.
16
That's great, Dan.
17
We have an application form.
18
Would you like to complete it over the phone?
19
Then you can ask any questions you might have.
20
Oh, yes, thanks.
21
Okay.
22
So, what's your family name?
23
It's green, Dan Green.
24
So, can I take your email address?
25
Yes, it's dan1068 @market .com.
26
Thanks.
27
And what about your home address?
28
Well, I'm about ten miles away from your club, in Peacetown.
29
I live in a house there.
30
OK.
31
So what's the house number and street?
32
It's 52 Marrowfield Street.
33
Is that M A Double R...
34
O W F -I -E -L -D?
35
That's right.
36
And that's Peacetown, you said?
37
Uh -huh.
38
So, how did you hear about our club?
39
Did you look on the internet?
40
I usually do that, but this time.. well, I was talking to a relative the other day and he suggested it.
41
Oh, is he a member too?
42
He belongs to another club, but he'd heard good things about yours.
43
Okay.
44
So what do you hope to get from joining?
45
Well, one thing that really interests me is the competitions that you have.
46
I enjoy entering those.
47
Right.
48
Anything else?
49
Well, I also like to socialise with other photographers.
50
That's great.
51
So what type of membership would you like?
52
What are the options?
53
It's £30 a year for full membership or £20 a year if you're an associate.
54
I think I'll go for the full membership, then.
55
That's a good idea because you can't vote in meetings with an associate membership.
56
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
57
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
58
If I could just find out a bit more about you.
59
Okay.
60
So, you said you wanted to compete.
61
Have you ever won any photography competitions?
62
Not yet, but I have entered three in the past.
63
Oh, that's interesting.
64
So why don't you tell me something about those?
65
Let's start with the first one.
66
Well, the theme was entitled Domestic Life.
67
I see.
68
So it had to be something related to the home?
69
Yeah.
70
I chose to take a photo of a family sitting round the dinner table having a meal.
71
And, erm, I didn't win, but I did get some feedback.
72
Oh, what did the judges say?
73
That it was too busy as a picture.
74
Aha.
75
So it was the composition of the picture that they criticised?
76
That's right.
77
And once they'd told me that, I could see my mistake.
78
So what was the theme of the second competition?
79
Well, my university was on the coast, and that area gets a lot of beautiful sunsets.
80
So that was the theme.
81
Oh, sunsets.
82
That's a great theme.
83
Yes, the instructions were to capture the clouds as well.
84
It couldn't just be blue sky and a setting sun.
85
Sure, 'cause they give you all those amazing pinks and purples.
86
Yeah.
87
And I thought I'd done that well, but the feedback was that I should have waited a bit longer to get the shot.
88
I see.
89
So the timing wasn't right?
90
Yes, I took it too soon basically.
91
And then the third competition I entered was called animal magic.
92
Well, that's a difficult subject.
93
I know.
94
I had to take hundreds of shots.
95
I'm sure, because animals move all the time.
96
That's what we had to show.
97
There had to be some movement in the scene.
98
I got a great shot of a fox in the end, but I took it at night and, well, I suspected that it was a bit dark,
99
which is what I was told.
100
Well, Dan, you seem to be really keen, and we'd be delighted to have you in our club.
101
I'm sure we can help with all those areas that you've outlined.
102
Thanks, that's great.
103
That is the end of part one.
104
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は?

「Cambridge 18, Test 3, Part 1」は、英語のリスニングとスピーキングにおいて非常に有益な教材です。このビデオでは、クラブのコーディネーターと話すシーンが描かれており、実際の対話に近い形式が育成されています。聞くこととともに口に出して練習することで、英語スピーキング練習のスキルを向上させることができます。具体的なコンテキストでの練習を通じて、実生活での会話に必要な表現や語彙を自然に身につけることができるため、shadow speechの技術がさらに深まるでしょう。また、YouTubeで英語学習を行う際、リスニングだけでなくスピーキングも鍛えることが重要です。

文法と表現のコンテキスト

  • 「Would you like to complete it over the phone?」 - ここでは、丁寧な依頼の形が使われています。このフレーズを覚えて、他の場面でも同様の依頼ができるようにしましょう。
  • 「How did you hear about our club?」 - 質問の作り方が分かる良い例です。「How」と「did」を使い、過去の出来事を尋ねるスキルを磨くために使えます。
  • 「I enjoy entering those.」 - 現在形を使って自分の興味を表現するフレーズです。「enjoy」の後に動詞のing形が続く構文を練習しましょう。
  • 「Well, I also like to socialise with other photographers.」 - 「also」や「like to + 動詞」の構文が、好みを表すために非常に役立つことを学べます。

一般的な発音の罠

ビデオ内では、「Marrowfield」が聞き取りにくい単語の一つです。特に「M A Double R」という響きは、外国人にとって発音難易度が高いため、注意が必要です。また、「Peacetown」という単語も、アクセントの位置が重要です。これらの言葉をしっかりとshadow speakして、正しい発音を習得しましょう。shadowingは、正しいイントネーションやリズムを身につけるのに非常に効果的です。リスニングを繰り返しながら、発音練習を怠らないようにしましょう。

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。
