1
Test 4.
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
Write all your answers in the listening question booklet.
7
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
8
Now turn to Section 1.
9
Section 1.
10
You will hear a conversation between two friends who are planning
11
to visit a friend of theirs who has just had a baby.
12
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
13
You will see that there is an example which has been done for you.
14
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
15
John, I've just had some good news.
16
Susan has had her baby.
17
Do you know when she had it?
18
Yesterday, the 10th of August.
19
Oh, my father was born on August the 10th.
20
The baby was born on the 10th of August.
21
So, the 10th of August has been written on the form.
22
Now we shall begin.
23
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
24
Listen carefully to the first part of the conversation and answer questions one to five.
25
John, I've just had some good news.
26
Susan has had her baby.
27
Do you know when she had it?
28
Yesterday, the 10th of August.
29
Oh, my father was born on August the 10th.
30
Give me the details and I'll make a note for everyone at work.
31
Okay.
32
Well, was it a boy or a girl?
33
It's a boy.
34
And what are they going to call him?
35
Tom.
36
Tom Lightfoot.
37
That sounds quite good, don't you think?
38
Yes.
39
That has quite a good ring to it.
40
You know, he's quite a big baby.
41
He weighed four and a quarter kilos when he was born.
42
Oh, that does sound big.
43
Four and a quarter kilos.
44
And he's long, too.
45
Forty-six centimeters.
46
Mm, tall parents.
47
He'll grow up to be over two meters, I'd say.
48
With masses of black hair, curly black hair.
49
You know, we should go and visit them in hospital.
50
What about tomorrow afternoon at around 1 p.m.?
51
Yeah, it's okay.
52
Where should we meet?
53
Ah, I could come and pick you up at your house if you like.
54
Yes, that would be wonderful.
55
My car is still off the road.
56
Just refresh my memory.
57
What's the address again?
58
It's 15 Chesterfield Road, Paddington.
59
It's next to the library, isn't it?
60
Not exactly.
61
It's next to a bank.
62
The state bank, actually.
63
The library is opposite us on the corner.
64
That's right.
65
And there's a garage on the other street corner, I remember now.
66
Mm.
67
So you'll pick me up at a quarter to one, and we'll be there at one easily.
68
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten.
69
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
70
Now, what should we take?
71
We must take them something.
72
I always think flowers are good to take to someone in hospital, don't you?
73
Well, not really.
74
Everyone always brings flowers and they don't last.
75
I think it's much better to take a pot plant so she can take it home with her.
76
Yes, but then she has to remember to water it.
77
And what about a big box of chocolates?
78
Okay, chocolates sounds fine.
79
We should get something for the baby, too.
80
What do you think?
81
Yes, you're right.
82
What do you think of something like baby shampoo or talcum powder?
83
Or we could get a little hat or something like that.
84
We don't know the size.
85
Or the right color, do we?
86
I think we should get something they wouldn't normally buy.
87
What about a soft toy of some sort?
88
Yes, a soft toy.
89
What about a teddy bear?
90
I could get one early tomorrow at the market, and I could probably get the chocolates there, too.
91
Good.
92
So you'll pick me up at a quarter to one at my place, and I'll make sure that I've got the presents.
93
You must remember how much you paid for the gifts, so I can pay you back for half.
94
If they're going to be from both of us, I would like to go shares.
95
Okay.
96
I'd say the chocolates would be about $15 for something nice and not too small, and the toy would be around $35 or so, I think.
97
Good.
98
That'll be fine.
99
About $25 each, then.
100
Good.
101
I'll pick you up then on Sunday at 12.45.
102
OK.
103
See you then.
104
Bye.
105
That is the end of Section 1.
106
You will now have half a minute to check your answers.
107
Thank you.

この動画で鍛える英語スピーキングの目標

この動画の会話は、日常的な情報共有や計画立案の場面での自然な会話の流れを学ぶのに最適です。特に、「友人が赤ちゃんを産んだ」というニュースを伝え、詳細を確認し、訪問の打ち合わせをするという一連の流れを通じて、リアルな場面での応答速度や情報伝達の正確性を鍛えることができます。これは、英語スピーキング練習において重要なフルーエンシーのマイルストーンであり、shadow speak（シャドースピーク）の技法を使って繰り返し練習することで、自然な会話のリズムを身につけることができます。

実践的なフレーズバンク

会話からは、日常的な場面で頻繁に使える表現がたくさんあります。以下はその一例です：

  • 「I've just had some good news.」（いいニュースがありました）- ポジティブな情報を伝える時の始まり方
  • 「That has quite a good ring to it.」（いい響きですね）- 名前やアイデアに対する賛同の表現
  • 「What about tomorrow afternoon at around 1 p.m.?」（明日の午後1時ごろはどうですか？）- 提案をする時の柔らかい言い方

これらのフレーズを覚えて、自分の言葉に組み込むことで、英語の会話がより自然になります。YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、こうした実用的なフレーズをピックアップして練習することが大切です。

発音とリズムの弱点を克服する

この動画の会話は、特に英語の発音を良くするための練習に適しています。例えば、「four and a quarter kilos」や「forty-six centimeters」のような数字の読み方は、初心者にとっては難しい部分ですが、shadow speakの技法を使って繰り返し聞きながら真似ることで、正確な発音とリズムを身につけることができます。また、会話の中のイントネーションやポーズも重要で、相手の発言に合わせて自然に応答するためには、これらの要素をしっかり捉える必要があります。この練習を続けることで、英語のスピーキングに自信を持つことができるでしょう。

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。
