Test 1.
4
This is the IELTS listening test.
5
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
6
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
7
All the recordings will be played once only.
8
The test is in four parts.
9
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
10
Now turn to part one.
11
Part one.
12
You will hear a teaching assistant calling a country park about a school visit.
13
First you have some time to look at questions one to six.
14
Thank you.
15
Okay, what would you like to know?
16
Well, I'm new to this area, so perhaps you could tell me something about the park first, please. Of course.
17
Altogether, the park covers 170 acres.
18
That's 69 hectares.
19
There are three main types of habitat, wetland, grassland and woodland.
20
The woods are well established and varied, with an oak plantation and other areas of mixed species.
21
Right.
22
The wetland is quite varied too.
23
The original farmland was dug up around 40 years ago to extract gravel.
24
Once this work was completed, the gravel pits filled with water, forming the two large lakes.
25
There are also several smaller ones, ponds and a stream that flows through the park.
26
OK, so I suppose with these different habitats there's quite a variety of wildlife.
27
There certainly is.
28
A lot of different species of birds and insects, and also animals like deer and rabbits.
29
And I understand you organise educational visits for school parties.
30
That's right.
31
We can organise a wide range of activities and adapt them to suit all ages.
32
Can you give me some examples of the activities?
33
Well, one focus is on science, where we help children to discover and study plants, trees and insects.
34
They also collect and analyse data about the things they see.
35
Another focus is on geography.
36
The park is a great environment to learn and practice reading a map and using a compass to navigate around the park.
37
Do you do anything connected with history?
38
Yes, we do.
39
For instance, the children can explore how the use of the land has changed over time.
40
Then there's leisure and tourism.
41
That focuses on your visitors, I would imagine.
42
Yes, mostly.
43
The children find out about them, their requirements, the problems they may cause, and how we manage these.
44
And another subject we cover is music.
45
Here the children experiment with natural materials to create sounds and explore rhythm and tempo.
46
That must be fun.
47
Most children really enjoy it.
48
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
49
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
50
And of course, all the activities are educational too.
51
Learning outside the classroom encourages children to be creative and to explore and discover for themselves.
52
I would imagine they get a sense of freedom that might not be a normal part of their lives.
53
That's right.
54
And very often, the children discover that they can do things they didn't know they could do, and they develop new skills.
55
This gives them greater self-confidence.
56
It sounds great.
57
So, what about the practical side of it?
58
How much does it cost for a full day visit?
59
We would expect to bring between 30 and 40 children.
60
If there are over 30, it costs £4.95 for each child who attends on the day.
61
We invoice you afterwards, so you don't pay for children who can't come because of sickness, for example.
62
There's no charge for leaders and other adults, as many as you want to bring.
63
That sounds very fair.
64
Well, thanks for all the information.
65
I'll need to discuss it with my colleagues and I hope to get back to you soon to make a booking.
66
We'll look forward to hearing from you.
67
Goodbye.
68
Goodbye and thank you.
69
That is the end of part one.
70
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
71
Thank you.
72
Thank you.
73
Thank you.

このレッスンについて

このレッスンでは、IELTSリスニングテストのセクション1を通じて、様々な生活環境に関する情報を学びます。カントリーパークの教育訪問についての対話を聞き、学校向けの活動や野生動物についての理解を深めます。この練習を通じて、英語のリスニング能力を向上させるとともに、英語での表現力を磨くことを目指します。

重要な語彙とフレーズ

  • 教育訪問 - 学校グループ向けに整備されたプログラム。
  • 生息地 - 動植物が生息するための自然環境。
  • データ分析 - 収集した情報を整理・評価すること。
  • 地図読み - 地図を使って道を理解し進む能力。
  • 音楽実験 - 自然の素材を使って音を作り出す活動。
  • 野生動物 - 自然の中で生活する動物たち。
  • リズムとテンポ - 音楽の基本的な要素。

練習のヒント

このリスニングテストは、ゆっくりとした会話のスピードで進行します。最初に質問に目を通す時間が与えられますので、どのような内容が話されるかを想像しておくと良いでしょう。シャドースピーチ法を活用して、話し手のリズムやトーンを真似してみてください。特に、英語シャドーイングを行うことで、発音やイントネーションの改善につながります。YouTubeで英語学習をする際に、この動画を参考にしてシャドーイングサイトを活用し、何度も繰り返し練習することをお勧めします。最初は部分的に練習し、徐々に全体を通して行うことで自信を持って話せるようになります。

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。
