Unit 1.

Listening, Part 2.
3
Exercise 3.
4
For each question, choose the correct answer.
5
1. You will hear two friends talking about the kind of flat they would like to live in.
6
Wouldn't it be great to live right at the top of that block of flats, with views across the city?
7
Nice views are fine, but I'm not very keen on lifts.
8
I think I'd rather be on the ground floor.
9
It'd be good to live in a building that's not far from a bus stop, too.
10
Or an underground station.
11
Right.
12
But the most important thing for me would be to have my own room, so it'd have to be a three-bedroom apartment.
13
I don't mind sharing with my brother, so two would be enough for me.
14
Two.
15
You'll hear a boy telling his friend about changing school.
16
I haven't seen you for a long time.
17
How do you feel now about your new school?
18
Well, before I moved at the beginning of January, I thought it'd be difficult to make friends with people in my new class,
19
but they've given me a really warm welcome.
20
Of course, I'm a bit sad that I don't see anyone from my previous school, but there's nothing I can do about that.
21
My studies seem to be going better than I'd expected too, so making the change hasn't been too hard, really.
22
3. You will hear a girl talking about a trip to the beach.
23
How was your day out?
24
Great.
25
The bus left early on Saturday, so I had to get up at 5am, but that meant we got to the beach really early.
26
Did you go for a swim?
27
Yes.
28
I thought I would enjoy that, but it was a bit cold so we hired a little boat instead and sailed round the bay.
29
That was fun too, but not as much as having a game of volleyball.
30
We're going there again in July when it'll be too hot for beach sports, but swimming in the sea will be wonderful.
31
4. You will hear two friends talking about the town where they live.
32
It's quite a good place to live, isn't it?
33
I mean, for a small town.
34
Yes, and it's probably about the right size too.
35
In bigger places there are problems like street crime, especially at night, but here you feel safe anywhere really.
36
That's true.
37
Although everywhere you go round here, the roads are really busy.
38
All that noise and pollution is horrible early in the morning.
39
I know.
40
I wish people would walk or go by bike instead.
41
Five.
42
You will hear a boy talking to a friend about a shop.
43
I don't really know this part of town.
44
Where's the best place to buy a T-shirt?
45
The little shop on the corner isn't bad.
46
The range of things there is a bit limited, but just about everything is amazingly good value,
47
especially if you compare it to the bigger shops.
48
The one opposite the station?
49
Yes, you can find almost anything you want there, but it always seems to be really crowded,
50
with lots of people waiting to pay because it's short of staff.
51
Thanks, I'll definitely avoid that one.
52
6. You will hear two friends talking about their homes.
53
I like my room, though I haven't got much space for my things.
54
Mine's about the right size, really, but I know what you mean.
55
My cupboards and shelves are far too small.
56
At least mine's got big windows, so I get plenty of sunshine.
57
I do too, though it's a pity I can't turn the central heating up in winter.
58
Does it get noisy?
59
It can do at my place, especially in the morning rush hour.
60
My flatmate complains about traffic noise waking her up too,
61
but I'm on the inside of the building so I hardly notice it.

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。
