Reading, writing, listening, speaking.

Now, on the speaking part of the exam, they're going to show you a picture like this.
11
And you have one minute to describe it.
12
Do you think you can do it?
13
It's pretty challenging.
14
You need to pretend that you're describing the picture to someone who's never seen it before.
15
Okay, can you do that?

top, bottom, top right, bottom right, top left, bottom left.

So you should try to remember these words.
23
Okay, and two more words that you need to know are foreground and background.

I don't know what this picture looks like and you're telling me there's two birds.
36
Okay, I'm picturing two ostriches.

That's even better!
59
Now, where are the birds in the picture?
60
Are they top, bottom, left, right?
61
Well, they're sort of in the middle.
62
Okay, so that's not too important.
63
But are they in the foreground or are they in the background?
64
They are in the foreground.
65
Okay, so we could say there are two small colorful birds sitting on a branch in the foreground of the picture.
66
Okay?

the foreground.

Now what's happening in the background?

That's all there is in the background.
72
Just some green leaves.

76
a white breast, a green back, and a yellow lower body.
77
Okay, we could say that's the lower body.
78
Okay, now the bird on the right has a black head, a purple breast, a turquoise neck,
79
and a yellow lower body.
80
Okay, now what other details could we give in this picture?
81
Well, we could say the birds are sitting close to each other,
82
but facing slightly away from each other.
83
Okay, look, this bird is facing that way, and this bird is facing a little bit more that way.
84
So they're facing slightly away from each other.
85
Now you could also talk about other details, like the shape and the color of their beaks.
86
okay birds don't have a nose they don't have a mouth they have a beak okay

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。
