1
Now turn to part four.
2
You'll hear an interview with Trina Travos, a pop singer who is only 15.
3
For questions 24 to 30, choose the best answer A, B or C.
4
You now have one minute in which to look at part four.
5
Thank you.
6
Thank you.
7
Marina, you're 15 and you've just come back from America where you've been making records.
8
What was it like?
9
It was wonderful.
10
I had the six-week school summer holidays and, you know, went over there for a month and then started school again.
11
What did your classmates at school think?
12
I just told close friends what I was doing in the States and I thought, well, if the records were successful then I'd tell everyone.
13
And they were successful.
14
Right.
15
And my friends were very good about it, not envious or anything.
16
Did you like being in the USA?
17
Oh, yes.
18
Most of the time it was great.
19
The people are so friendly.
20
Did you manage to write any songs there?
21
Well, yeah, I did.
22
Most of the stuff I'd done in England had been about the people closest to me.
23
You know, Mum, Dad, my sister.
24
They weren't with me in the States.
25
And although I miss them, and silly things like the rain in England and fish and chips, being surrounded with new faces gave me lots of material for my songs.
26
Now, your home in England is a long way from London.
27
Yes, about as far as you can get.
28
So, is it easy to get into the music business if you live that far away?
29
Don't you have to be in London, or near a big city at least?
30
No, no. We did play in London once.
31
We were actually approached at a local concert, so I don't think it's impossible to get noticed anywhere.
32
There are lots of record companies looking for bands, and they do go quite a long way from the cities to find them.
33
I was lucky with my band, and there have been other bands like us that have been lucky as well, so you don't have to come from a huge city to be discovered.
34
Now, in the USA you did a song with someone who was a star when I was your age, David Pearson, and you hadn't any idea who he was.
35
No, it was embarrassing actually, but he was a really pleasant guy.
36
Yeah?
37
He was recording an album in the same studio and he had this song that he needed someone to sing with him.
38
And he asked me and I was only too delighted to do it.
39
But that wasn't the only famous star you worked with in the States, was it?
40
No, there was Lance Lakatov.
41
But you had heard of him?
42
Yes, he's a bit of a hero of mine, in fact.
43
And you were in his TV series?
44
Yes.
45
And what was that like?
46
It was a really good experience.
47
I hadn't done anything like that before.
48
And they filmed us for three or four days, you know, and that was the end of it.
49
Oh, so I thought, but they'd made some mistakes, which was such a shame, because I had to go back to the USA.
50
Oh!
51
I came home to England, and then they phoned up and said they had some bad camera work, etc., and had to fly all the way back and do it again.
52
Actually, in the USA, your record did well, but not here in England.
53
Why is that?
54
Because you've never been able to get it over here in Britain.
55
The record company's never had any arrangements to sell their records in Britain, so it's always just been the USA, which is nice, in a way.
56
Why do you say that?
57
Well, it's good to come home and get away from it.
58
But is it that the company don't think your style will appeal over here?
59
No, it's purely the fact they don't operate over here.
60
But the company's just been sold, and the new company does operate over here.
61
So maybe they will release the record.
62
So, where do you see your career going?
63
Will you go back to the States?
64
Well, not for a while, I shouldn't think, as I have another two years at school here in England.
65
I know my school friends are thinking of college, but I'm not sure that's for me, even to do music.
66
Then, my agent has been trying to persuade me to do it full time, and my parents say it's up to me, but I'm happy to wait a while before that happens.
67
I can still write, after all.
68
In fact, one of my songs is in the American charts at the moment, but sung by someone else.
69
Well, the best of luck, Trina.
70
Now you'll hear part four again.
71
Trina, you're 15 and you've just come back from America where you've been making records.
72
What was it like?
73
It was wonderful.

That's the end of Part 4.
135
There'll now be a pause of five minutes for you to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.
136
Be sure to follow the numbering of all the questions.
137
I'll remind you when there is one minute left so that you're sure to finish in time.
138
That's the end of the test.
139
Please stop now.
140
Your supervisor will now collect all the question papers and answer sheets.

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。
