Now open your question paper and look at part 1.

You'll hear people talking in 8 different situations.

For questions 1 to 8, choose the best answer.

A, B or C.

Question 1.

You hear a teacher talking to her class.

I've been talking about the Walk 10,000 Steps a Day programme for a while

and I know some of you have already been trying it out counting your steps with the monitors you've been given

well done if you've been achieving your daily goal you can compare how you've been doing with one another

but remember there's no winner.

You may think, what's the point then?

Well, it's about keeping in shape.

To persuade the rest of you to get going, remember you don't have to go to the sports centre or anything, just keep moving.

Take the stairs instead of the lift or walk home rather than taking the bus.

Now listen again.

Question two.

You hear two friends talking about learning to ski.

What do you think of our ski classes?

They're great.

I've wanted to learn for ages, so I'm keen to push myself as far as I can.

Don't you find it exhausting?

You need loads of strength to pick yourself up when you fall over, which I don't seem to have Yes,

I suppose you do, but that's not an issue for me I just can't seem to get the turns right, no matter how hard I try Nor can I,

but I'm sure we'll get it one day, then we'll have more of a laugh in the class Yes,

I'm looking forward to it Now listen again What do you think of our ski classes?

I just can't seem to get the turns right, no matter how hard I try.

Nor can I, but I'm sure we'll get it one day.

Then we'll have more of a laugh in the class.

Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

Question 3.

You hear a sports instructor talking to an athletics class.

Right, who's up for trying to beat the centre's long jump record?

For those of you who are interested, we'll be doing additional practice every Saturday afternoon from 1 till 3.

Now, contrary to what some of you might think, it's not a record I set myself, nor have I ever attempted any long jump record.

I'm much better suited to high jump, as you know.

Anyway, it's quite a while since the current record was set, and though I know you probably think it'll be tricky to beat, with our training facilities and your fitness levels,

I see no reason why someone in this group shouldn't be able to do it.

Now listen again.

I see no reason why someone in this group shouldn't be able to do it.

Question 4.

You hear a girl telling a friend about lessons on eating and exercising that she has done at school.

What have you been doing in school recently?

We've been doing loads on health and fitness, about eating and exercising.

I was already aware of some of the stuff we talked about, like the importance of a balanced diet.

I've always made the effort to eat carbohydrates like pasta

and potatoes when I'm going to gymnastics classes later because I know they give you energy.

But apparently you can actually have more than I do because you burn it off.

That was news to me.

I'm sure what they said was right, but I feel OK with what I've been doing.

So I'll just carry on as usual.

Question five.

You hear a student talking to his sports teacher about getting fit.

How can I help you, Alex?

I wondered if you could give me some advice.

I'm really into sports.

I love our classes at school, but I'd like to push myself further.

What did you have in mind?

Well, I'm into running, as you know, and I wouldn't mind entering some events outside school to see if I can beat other people my age.

I've been trying to build up my strength and stamina on the machines at the gym.

I asked a friend of mine to train with me, and now I want to take things to the next level.

Let me see what I can find out for you.

Now listen again.

and now I want to take things to the next level.

Let me see what I can find out for you.

Question six.

You hear two friends talking about a TV programme they have watched.

I watched this programme about sleep the other night.

Oh yeah, so did I.

About the health benefits of getting enough.

Yeah, that's it.

They've done a ton of research into sleep.

Did you know that your brain's actually working harder when you're asleep than when you're awake?

That was unexpected.

Really?

100

I'd heard that previously.

101

If I'm honest, there wasn't an awful lot that was new to me, but I ought to be following the recommendations on how to sleep better.

102

The problem is, I forget.

103

Stuff like ensuring your bedroom's dark enough, not thinking about the next day's challenges?

104

Exactly.

105

It was good to be reminded about all that.

106

Now listen again.

107

I watched this programme about sleep the other night.

108

Oh yeah, so did I.

109

About the health benefits of getting enough.

110

Yeah, that's it.

111

They've done a ton of research into sleep.

112

Did you know that your brain's actually working harder when you're asleep than when you're awake?

113

114

115

116

If I'm honest, there wasn't an awful lot that was new to me, but I ought to be following the recommendations on how to sleep better.

117

The problem is I forget.

118

Stuff like ensuring your bedroom's dark enough, not thinking about the next day's challenges.

119

Exactly.

120

It was good to be reminded about all that.

121

Question seven.

122

You hear an expert talking about what being healthy really means.

123

Being healthy isn't just about physical fitness, but psychological well-being too.

124

No matter how well you eat or how much you exercise, if you're burned out from working or studying all the time and don't build in a life beyond this,

125

it won't do you any good.

126

Most of us have listened to the warnings and make time to spend with loved ones and get to the gym.

127

What's failing to get through is what good nutrition means.

128

We know we need certain vitamins, for example, but still too many of us take them in tablet form instead of the food which contains them.

129

Better education is the key.

130

Now listen again.

131

Being healthy isn't just about physical fitness, but psychological well-being too no matter how well you eat

132

or how much you exercise if you're burned out from working

133

or studying all the time

134

and don't build in a life beyond this it won't do

135

you any good most of us have listened to the warnings

136

and make time to spend with loved ones and get to the gym

137

What's failing to get through is what good nutrition means.

138

We know we need certain vitamins, for example, but still too many of us take them in tablet form instead of the food which contains them.

139

Better education is the key.

140

Question 8.

141

You hear a fitness expert talking about warming up before exercise.

142

Part of exercising safely is warming up properly, especially if you're going to do something high energy, like working out in the gym.

143

Yet too many people go straight out there without making sure their muscles are ready for exercise, which results in unnecessary injury,

144

even while knowing this is the incorrect thing to do.

145

I understand people may have little time to exercise and try to fit it in between work or study and dinner time, but you need to build up to being slightly out of

146

breath with an increased heart rate before you begin your main exercise session.

147

Finding warm-up activities you like doing will keep you motivated.

148

Now listen again.

149

Part of exercising safely is warming up properly, especially if you're going to do something high energy, like working out in the gym.

150

154

155

Finding warm-up activities you like doing will keep you motivated.

156

That's the end of part one.

157

Now turn to part two.

158

You will hear a radio news item about a hot air balloon manufacturer.

159

For questions nine to eighteen, complete the sentences with a word or short phrase.

160

You now have forty-five seconds to look at part two.

161

Thank you.

162

Thank you.

163

Bristol.

164

Douglas Finch was born near Glasgow and attended Alan Glenn's school before reading aeronautical engineering at Glasgow University,

165

from which he graduated in 1961.

166

He gained a master's degree in industrial engineering at Cornell University,

167

USA in 1963, before returning to the United Kingdom and joining the Bristol Aeroplane Company.

168

He joined the Bristol Gliding Club and in 1965 received the Silver Sea Gliding Badge.

169

In 1967 he helped build the Bristol Bell,

170

a red and white striped balloon which made its first flights at Western on the Green near Oxford.

171

It was the first modern hot air balloon in Western Europe.

172

In 1968, Doug Finch was issued with the first ever private pilot's licence for hot air balloons.

173

The success of Doug Finch in translating his ballooning expertise into a commercial concern is reflected in the birth

174

and success of his company, Finch Balloons of Bristol, which was formed by Finch in 1971,

175

five years after he constructed his first balloon.

176

The new company was based in Dutton, Bristol, where a total of 29 balloons were made in the basement of the property.

177

1971 also saw Finch build Golden Falcon, a balloon designed specifically to fly across the Sahara.

178

In 1972, Doug Finch received the Royal Aeronautical Club Bronze Medal,

179

the first awarded for hot air airships.

180

A year later, he was awarded the Royal Aeronautical Club Silver Medal for the first balloon flight over the Alps.

181

In the same year, he received the Lighter Than Air Society, USA, Achievement Award for the development of the first hot airship.

182

Five years later, he attempted the first Atlantic crossing by balloon, for which he received the Royal Aeronautical Club gold medal.

183

In 1978, his attempt to make the premier Atlantic crossing by balloon ended

184

when bad weather forced his heated helium balloon Zanussi down after a 2,000-mile flight from Canada.

185

The Finch Company moved to its present site in Gellingborough in 1983, and in the following years,

186

all of the records for distance and duration were taken by pilots flying Finch balloons.

187

In 1989, Finch Balloons Limited received the Queen's Award for Export,

188

confirmation that Doug Finch had made Bristol the undisputed balloon manufacturing capital of the world.

189

During the 1990s, interest in becoming the first to fly around the world by balloon became intense,

190

and almost all the contenders have used Finch helium hot air balloons.

191

Doug Finch has advanced the science, technology and art of balloon flight to the highest level.

192

His factory in Bristol is the world's largest and last year he was awarded the Prince Philip Design Award.

193

Doug Finch will receive his honorary degree of Doctor of Business Administration at the awards ceremony at Bristol Business School.

194

Douglas Finch is to be awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Business Administration in recognition of his outstanding scientific,

195

design and entrepreneurial achievements and their important contribution to the history and reputation of Bristol.

225

That's the end of part two.

226

Now turn to part three.

227

You will hear five different people talking about the place where they live.

228

For questions 19 to 23, choose from the list A to H what each person feels about where they live.

229

Use the letters only once.

230

There are three extra letters which you do not need to use.

231

You now have 30 seconds to look at part three.

232

Thank you.

233

that I could get a lovely place somewhere rural.

234

I don't know, though.

235

It had never really occurred to me before.

236

I've lived half my life here and don't really see much reason for a change.

237

But while you might say the area has gone upmarket and improved with these new bistros and shops, well, it's lost something, too.

238

A lot of the character it used to have.

239

I mean, And now I don't even know my neighbours' names, and they don't know mine.

240

So I'm not sure if I should stick around now.

241

Moving.

242

Well, it's food for thought.

243

Speaker 2 There was a time around here that you could leave your front door open morning, noon and night.

244

Kids just played in the street unsupervised and only came home

245

when it got dark or they dinner was on the table everybody knew everybody else

246

and their business so it wasn't all great

247

ah but over the last few years it's got worse and worse and i've no idea why i really don't

248

mrs peter's at number 36 she was mugged just last thursday 50 pounds and her mobile phone she lost Speaker 3

249

When we saw it, we just fell in love with it.

250

The old wooden floors, the heavy oak doors, the delightful bay windows, and the garden.

251

The garden's going to be glorious in spring.

252

We'll have picnics, maybe even barbecues.

253

Of course, there's lots of work to be done before it's perfect, if it ever will be.

254

But we seem to be settling in.

255

Most of the local shopkeepers seem to know our names now, and most people say hello in the street.

256

It's such a change from living in the city.

257

And when the kids go back to school, there's a really good one at the other end of the village.

258

I'll probably have to walk them there, though.

259

The high street is very busy with cars, and I don't want to risk them crossing a busy road on their own.

260

Speaker 4 Well, with the kids now, there's just not enough room for all of us.

261

We had to do it, really.

262

Obviously, I would have liked to have stayed here, but it's for the best.

263

It was just impractical, really.

264

And now we'll have a lovely place.

265

I've lived here since I left home.

266

I never imagined then how much my life would change.

267

Look out of the window.

268

See that shop?

269

That's where I bought my first suit for my first day of work.

270

And there's the cafe where I met Karen, my wife.

271

The idea of moving was hard at first, leaving all these memories behind.

272

Still, it's for the best, and it's not like we're moving to the other side of the world.

273

It's only a ten-minute drive, and I can pop back whenever I like.

274

Speaker 5 I realise now it wasn't the right thing to do.

275

We jumped in too quick.

276

We just took one look at the cottage and the village and we fell in love.

277

We didn't really think about the practicalities.

278

It all seemed so idyllic, really.

279

Country houses with beautiful gardens, cricket on the village green, the village fate, the duck pond.

280

It seemed like we were going back in time.

281

But once you're used to all that, spent a year or so here, well, that's when the realities kick in.

282

There's not really much to do.

283

If we want to go to the cinema, it's a half-hour drive to the multiplex on the ring road.

284

If we want to eat in a good restaurant or see an exhibition, we have to go into town, which with traffic can take over an hour and a half.

285

And while the kids don't mind it now, I dread to think what they'll be like when they're a bit older.

286

There's literally nothing for teenagers to do here.

287

I guess we should have given it a bit more practical thought before we dived in and moved.

288

Speaker 1 People tell me I should cash in on it, sell up, move out to the country.

289

Prices have gone up so much around here that I could get a lovely place somewhere rural.

290

I don't know, though.

291

It had never really occurred to me before.

292

I've lived half my life here and don't really see much reason for a change.

302

But over the last few years, it's got worse and worse, and I've no idea why.

303

I really don't.

304

Mrs. Peter's at number 36.

305

She was mugged just last Thursday.

306

Fifty pounds and her mobile phone she lost.

307

Speaker three.

347

That's the end of part three.

348

Now turn to part four.

349

You will hear an interview with a travel writer called Anna Bryant, who is talking about what to do when visiting other countries.

350

For questions 24 to 30, choose the best answer.

351

A, B, or C?

352

You now have one minute to look at part four.

353

Thank you.

354

Good morning, Anna, and thank you for joining us on the travel programme.

355

You're here to talk about travelling to other countries and how to deal with cultural differences.

356

How can you find out about a country's culture before you travel?

357

Well, it's often tempting to turn to guidebooks, though many focus on things to do rather than how to behave.

358

If you're lucky enough to know someone from the country you're visiting, I really have been, you've got the perfect consultant.

359

My preference is to eat in a restaurant where the staff are from the place you're planning to visit.

360

You can observe things like greetings and table manners.

361

That isn't always possible either, but it's worth a try.

362

How can you get over the language barrier?

363

It does no harm to try to use the local language, especially if it's one you've studied at school.

364

Even if you only remember a bit, it helps, though maybe not much.

365

Often, you might not know any of the language and you'll have to rely on hand gestures or even drawing.

366

I've been in situations where nobody understood a word anyone else was saying.

367

Surprisingly, the messages got across, and now that's the least of my concerns when travelling, though I try to pick up as much language as I can.

368

One thing people worry about is how to behave when visiting someone in their home.

369

Some people are concerned that telling their host they're nervous is rude.

370

Personally, I see little wrong with explaining why that's the case.

371

It provides the host with the opportunity to make you feel at home.

372

Otherwise, you could be trying to do what they're doing and get confused.

373

Copying them means you could end up behaving like the host instead of the guest.

374

Talking to other people before you go might help, but every family has its own particular traditions, so it may not.

375

Have you ever made a cultural mistake yourself?

376

Oh, yes.

377

Though, thankfully, I was fortunate enough to have an understanding host who put me at ease.

378

And because of that, I'm able to laugh about it now.

379

I don't know why I made the mistake.

380

I took an unlucky number of flowers as a gift.

381

Looking back, it wasn't so serious, really.

382

I just misunderstood what someone had told me before I went.

383

I'd never make the same mistake again, though.

384

Have you ever experienced culture shock?

385

When I've lived abroad, yes.

386

At first, everything's exciting, but if you stay longer, you notice differences in cultural values and beliefs, and that can be confusing.

387

Making good friends in a new place takes time, and it's important to try to let things happen rather than desperately trying to do everything at once.

388

Doing familiar things helps.

389

Sleeping regular hours and eating food you like.

390

It really worked in helping me get used to my new environment.

391

What's the most interesting tradition you've experienced?

392

I remember being in China at New Year and seeing the Lantern Festival.

393

There was this amazing parade of handmade lanterns.

394

Seeing it taught me that no matter how much you think you know about something in advance, it can still take you by surprise.

395

I was desperate to join in, but didn't have my own lantern.

396

It was still enormous fun to watch.

397

The images of it are stuck in my memory.

398

I needn't worry about forgetting anything, despite not taking any photos.

399

Finally, Anna, you're writing a book about culture.

400

That's right.

401

I'm still at the beginning of the process, even though I've been working on it for a while.

402

People who know me keep asking, isn't it finished yet?

403

But you've got to do the preparation.

404

I'm still undecided about whether people will want to read about my own travels, or whether I should just focus on describing customs from around the world.

405

I won't show anyone what I've written until it's finished.

406

I'm hopeful that people will enjoy it.

407

Now listen again.

408

Good morning, Anna, and thank you for joining us on the travel programme.

409

You're here to talk about travelling to other countries and how to deal with cultural differences.

410

How can you find out about a country's culture before you travel?

411

Well, it's often tempting to turn to guidebooks, though many focus on things to do rather than how to behave.

412

If you're lucky enough to know someone from the country you're visiting, I really have been, you've got the perfect consultant.

413

My preference is to eat in a restaurant where the staff are from the place you're planning to visit.

414

You can observe things like greetings and table manners.

415

That isn't always possible either, but it's worth a try.

416

How can you get over the language barrier?

417

It does no harm to try to use the local language, especially if it's one you've studied at school.

418

Even if you only remember a bit, it helps, though maybe not much.

419

Often, you might not know any of the language and you'll have to rely on hand gestures or even drawing.

420

I've been in situations where nobody understood a word anyone else was saying.

421

Surprisingly, the messages got across and now that's the least of my concerns when travelling.

422

Though, I try to pick up as much language as I can.

423

One thing people worry about is how to behave when visiting someone in their home.

Some people are concerned that telling their host they're nervous is rude.

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。
