Listening, Part 1.
3
Exercise 1.
4
For each question, choose the correct answer.
5
1. What subject does the boy want to study at university?
6
It's really hard to decide what to study at university because I like science a lot, especially doing experiments.
7
But my history teacher is brilliant this year and I've really enjoyed everything we've done with him.
8
Anyway, in the end, I think IT is the future.
9
I mean, there are more jobs working with technology than jobs which involve knowing things about the past, so that's what I've chosen.
10
2. Where is the girl's physics book?
11
Dad, have you seen my physics book?
12
I think I left it on the kitchen table last night, but it's not there now.
13
You know you should get your school bag ready in the evening.
14
Where were you studying yesterday?
15
In my room, but then I decided to read on the sofa downstairs for a while.
16
Look, here it is, under the cushion.
17
3. When is the chemistry exam?
18
Hi, Danny.
19
I'm just phoning you because I was ill yesterday and I missed the chemistry class.
20
Did the teacher say when the next exam is?
21
Yes, he wanted us to do it next Tuesday, but there's a school trip that day, so he changed the exam to the end of the week.
22
Oh, that's great.
23
If it's on a Friday, we'll have more time to study.
24
Right, it's in the second class.
25
Don't forget we've got to do our biology presentations on Thursday morning as well.
26
Oh, no. 4.
27
Which after-school activity is most popular?
28
There's a wide range of activities to choose from in our after-school clubs.
29
You can join the Art and Design group.
30
There are plenty of spaces in that one, and it's a friendly group.
31
Or there's computer programming, but that might be difficult to get in, because more students have already joined this year.
32
If you like sport, we've also got a multi-sport group.
33
They do a different sport each term, but the more unusual ones, you know, like badminton or squash.
34
5. What did they do when it started to rain?
35
How was your trip to the mountains, Jenny?
36
It was great at first.
37
It was really hot and we found a fantastic place to have lunch under some trees.
38
But in the afternoon the weather changed and it began to rain really hard.
39
It was a long way to the car, but we found a cave where we waited for it to stop.
40
The sun came out again on our way back, so we didn't get wet at all.
41
6. What was the first prize in the competition?
42
Now we have good news for the students from Oak End School.
43
The winner of our nature photography competition this year is Mark Young from Year 10.
44
His school will be presented with a video camera for his photo of sunlight on the trees in the playground.
45
The second prize, which is cinema tickets,
46
goes to Freddie Lawson's class in Green Hill School for his photo of a snail.
47
Thanks to all the schools that took part, they will all receive a certificate.
48
7. Why did the boy go to bed late?
49
You look tired, Sam.
50
Did you go to bed late last night?
51
Yeah, I was watching that TV series about detectives in New York when my brother phoned.
52
The one who lives in Australia?
53
That's right.
54
He didn't remember that it was late for us, but anyway, we were talking until after midnight.
55
Is he okay?
56
He's having a great time, although he's working hard in a restaurant every evening.

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型動画での表現

過去進行形 was/were + -ing — 過去のある時点で進行中だった動作was watching · were talking

  • 「sh」と「zh」の音: examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, cushion /ˈkʊʃən/, squash /skwɔʃ/, presentation /ˌpɹɛzn̩ˈteɪʃn̩/
  • 長い単語(アクセントの位置に注意): examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, biology /baɪˈɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/, certificate /səˈtɪf.ɪ.kɪt/

日本語話者が苦手な音:

  • /v/ — /b/ にならないように、上の歯を下唇に当てる: cave /keɪv/, detective /dɪˈtɛktɪv/, involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/
  • /f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: sofa /ˈsoʊ̯fə/, certificate /səˈtɪf.ɪ.kɪt/
  • 子音の連続 — 間に母音を入れない: squash /skwɔʃ/, snail /sneɪl/, downstairs /daʊnˈstɛɹz/, playground /ˈpleɪɡɹaʊnd/, involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/

  3. 自分の声を録音して元の音声と比べます。examination, badminton, cushionなどの単語に特に注意しましょう。

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。
