Listening, Part 2.

Exercise 3.
4
For each question, choose the correct answer.
5
1. You will hear a young woman talking about taking part in a singing contest.
6
What did you think of the judge's scores?
7
Well, I thought I'd sung pretty well,
8
certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
9
But I must admit, they were lower than I'd expected.
10
I knew then that I had little chance of beating the others,
11
but at least I'd done my best.
12
For me, that's the most important thing.
13
Yes, definitely.
14
So do you think you'll try again in next year's contest?
15
Yes, if I can.
16
I might not win, but I think I could do better than this year.
17
2. You'll hear two friends talking about camping.
18
I'm going camping in the mountains on Friday.
19
That'll be great fun, especially with the hot weather we're having right now.
20
But the temperatures there can really drop at night, even in summer.
21
You'd better put a jacket and a thick sweater in your backpack instead of lots of things to eat.
22
You can always get a tasty meal in one of the local villages.
23
Where exactly will you be going?
24
Up by the lake.
25
It's beautiful there, isn't it?
26
But perhaps it'd be best to put your tent up somewhere else.
27
At this time of year the mosquitoes there are awful.
28
They never stop biting.
29
3. You will hear a boy talking to his friend about a literature exam.
30
You've got that literature exam next week, haven't you?
31
How's the revision going?
32
I thought I'd be getting tired of it by now,
33
but your suggestion
34
that I should watch films of the books we have to study has made it more interesting
35
and I understand the stories better.
36
Usually, just before an important exam like this one,
37
I feel really worried about what could go wrong on the day.
38
This time's quite different though.
39
That's great to hear.
40
I'm sure you'll do really well on Monday morning.
41
Good luck!
42
4. You will hear a girl telling a friend about studying abroad.
43
Did you enjoy your month abroad?
44
Yes, I was in a small town in the countryside.
45
The lessons were good, even though the rest of the class were younger than me,
46
and we didn't have much in common.
47
I had a lovely room in the house where I was staying.
48
The couple I was staying with were kind to me,
49
but they had a busy social life and I hardly saw them.
50
So, I went to the main square,
51
where all the shops and cafes are, and made friends there.
52
We had a great time hanging out and chatting.
53
5. You will hear a boy telling his friend about how he travels to school.
54
I see you're using your bike every day now instead of coming to school in your mum's car.
55
Yes, I've been doing that since the beginning of term.
56
Actually, she still goes right past school on her way to work,
57
so it's not about protecting the environment,
58
spending less on petrol or anything like that.
59
It's just that I realised I was spending nearly all my time sitting down,
60
in class and at home,
61
and I thought I'd better do something about it.
62
That's a good idea.
63
Maybe I should do the same.
64
6. You will hear a girl talking to a friend about going shopping.
65
So, how was your shopping trip yesterday?
66
I imagine the city centre's pretty crowded on a Saturday morning at this time of the year.
67
Yes, there were lots of people walking in the streets,
68
and the department store was full of customers too.
69
I don't mind that, but I wasn't happy about having shop assistants trying to sell me stuff
70
when all I wanted to do was look at things on the shelves.
71
I noticed they were bothering other customers too.
72
If they carry on like that,
73
their shop won't be full much longer.

文法と文脈内の表現
- "I thought I'd sung pretty well": この表現は、自分のパフォーマンスに対する自己評価を示しています。「思った」という過去形を使い、過去の経験を振り返る際に便利です。

一般的な発音の罠
この動画では、英語の発音を良くする上で注意が必要な単語やフレーズがいくつかあります。特に「mosquito（蚊）」や「tired（疲れた）」という単語は、多くの非ネイティブスピーカーにとって発音が難しいです。また、「contest（コンテスト）」や「revision（復習）」といった単語も、アクセントの位置に注意しなければなりません。これらの単語を正しく発音するためには、英語シャドーイングを活用することが効果的です。リスニングしながら声に出して繰り返すことで、発音やリズムを体得することができます。
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。
