1
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
2
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
3
All the recordings will be played once only.
4
The test is in four sections.
5
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
6
Now turn to Section 1.
7
Section 1.
8
You will hear a man inquiring in a tourist's centre about activities suitable for families.
9
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
10
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
11
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
12
Hi, can I help you?
13
I'd like to find out if you have any excursions suitable for families.
14
Sure.
15
How about taking your family for a cruise?
16
We have a steamship that takes passengers out several times a day.
17
It's over a hundred years old.
18
The cruise takes place on a steamship.
19
So steamship has been written in the space.
20
Now we shall begin.
21
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
22
Listen carefully and answer questions one to four.
23
Hi, can I help you?
24
I'd like to find out if you have any excursions suitable for families.
25
Sure.
26
How about taking your family for a cruise?
27
We have a steamship that takes passengers out several times a day.
28
It's over a hundred years old.
29
That sounds interesting.
30
How long is the trip?
31
About an hour and a half.
32
And don't forget to take pictures of the mountains.
33
They're all around you when you're on the boat and they look fantastic.
34
OK.
35
And I assume there's a cafe or something on board?
36
Sure.
37
How old are your children?
38
My daughter's 15 and my son's 7.
39
Right.
40
Well, there are various things you can do once you've crossed the lake to make a day of it.
41
One thing that's very popular is a visit to the country farm.
42
You'll met off the boat by the farmer and he'll take you to the holding pens where the sheep are kept.
43
Children love feeding them.
44
My son would love that.
45
He really likes animals.
46
Well, there's also a 40-minute trek round the farm on a horse if he wants.
47
Do you think he'd manage it?
48
He hasn't done that before.
49
Sure.
50
It's suitable for complete beginners.
51
Good.
52
And again, visitors are welcome to explore the farm on their own, as long as they take care to close gates and so on.
53
There are some very beautiful gardens along the side of the lake which also belong to the farm.
54
They'll be just at their best now.
55
You could easily spend an hour or two there.
56
Okay, well, that all sounds good.
57
And can we get lunch there?
58
You can, and it's very good, though it's not included in the basic cost.
59
You pay when you get there.
60
Right.
61
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to
62
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
63
So, is there anything else to do over on that side of the lake?
64
Well, what you can do is take a bike over on the ship and then go on a cycling trip.
65
There's a trail there called the Back Road.
66
You could easily spend three or four hours exploring it, and the scenery's wonderful.
67
They'll give you a map when you get your ticket for the cruise.
68
There's no extra charge.
69
What's the trail like in terms of difficulty?
70
Quite challenging in places.
71
It wouldn't be suitable for your seven-year-old.
72
It needs someone who's got a bit more experience.
73
Hmm.
74
Well, my daughter loves cycling, and so do I, so maybe the two of us could go, and my wife and son could stay on the farm.
75
That might work out quite well.
76
But we don't have bikes here.
77
Is there somewhere we could rent them?
78
Yes.
79
There's a place here in the city it's called ratchesons
80
i'll just make a note of
81
that how do you spell it r-a-t-c-h-e-s-o-n-s it's just by the
82
cruise ship terminal okay you'd also need to pick up a
83
repair kit for the bike from there to take along with you
84
and you'd need to take along a snack
85
and some water it'd be best to get those in the city fine
86
that shouldn't be a problem and i assume i can rent a helmet from the bike place
87
sure you should definitely get that it's a great ride
88
but you want to be well prepared
89
because it's very remote you won't see any shops around there
90
or anywhere to stay so you need to get back in time for the last boat yeah
91
so what sort of prices are we looking at here let's see that'd be one One adult
92
and one child for the cruise with Farm Tour.
93
That's $117.
94
And an adult and a child for the cruise only, so that's $214 altogether.
95
Oh, wait a minute.
96
How old did you say your daughter was?
97
Fifteen.
98
Then I'm afraid it's $267, because she has to pay the adult fare, which is $75, instead of the child fare, which is $22.
99
Sorry about that.
100
That's okay.
101
So how do we find out?

段階的シャドーイングガイド

この動画を使用してシャドーイングを行うためのステップバイステップガイドを以下に示します。

  1. 初回視聴：まずは一度全体を通して視聴し、会話の流れを理解します。
  2. セクションごとの分割：次に、セクション1の会話を数回に分けて視聴し、それぞれの重要なフレーズに焦点を当てます。
  3. シャドーイング実施：流れる音声に合わせてリピートします。この時、自分の発声を録音して発音を確認することも効果的です。
  4. 発音練習：英語の発音を良くするために、特に発音が難しい部分を繰り返し練習します。
  5. 復習とフィードバック：自分の録音を聞き返し、気になる点を修正します。このプロセスを通じて、YouTubeで英語学習の効果を最大限に引き出しましょう。

これを実践することで、英語のリスニング力とスピーキング力が向上します。shadowspeaksや、shadow speakのテクニックを活用し、より自然な英会話ができるようになることでしょう。

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。
