Track 38.
2
1. Hey, Tony.
3
Where are you going?
4
I'm just going over to the sports centre.
5
Oh, really?
6
I've never been there.
7
Where is it?
8
Oh, it's not far.
9
Go down the path on the left, and the sports centre is on the other side of the wood.
10
2. Um, excuse me, Susie.
11
Could you help me?
12
Yes, of course.
13
What is it?
14
I've got a lecture in the law school next.
15
Could you tell me where the lecture theatre is?
16
Oh yes, that's easy.
17
The law lecture theatre's on the first floor.
18
It's a lovely campus, isn't it?
19
The lake's so pretty.
20
What's that building on the other side?
21
Oh, that's the business school.
22
So, how do you get there?
23
You just follow the footpath round the lake.
24
Four.
25
Hi Susie.
26
Are you going to the theatre by any chance?
27
Well I'm not going there, but I can tell you where it is.
28
Look over there.
29
That's the theatre, just across the green.
30
Oh, OK.
31
Thanks a lot.
32
See you later.
33
Five.
34
Er, Tony, I have got to go into the city centre.
35
Where can I get the bus?
36
Well, the nearest bus stop is just across the road from the Student Union building.
37
Six.
38
Hey, Susie, can you tell me where the bank is?
39
I want to get some cash out.
40
I've just realised I still owe you ten pounds.
41
Oh, OK.
42
Go along to the end of the path until you get to the shop on the corner.
43
Turn left and the bank's right next door.
44
Track 39 Hey, Sandra, how's it going?
45
What do you think of the campus?
46
I think it's all fantastic.
47
Have you been to the coffee shop and the library yet?
48
No, I haven't.
49
Where is it?
50
It's on the ground floor.
51
You know, you can have a break without actually leaving the library.
52
It's really great to meet your friends there.
53
Yeah, that's an excellent idea.
54
And it means you've got somewhere to chat without upsetting people who want to study.
55
I can't concentrate when other people are talking.
56
I usually go upstairs to work in the silent zone, on the first floor.
57
Oh, do you?
58
Is it difficult to study at home then?
59
Where do you live?
60
I'm living in a hall of residence on campus.
61
Oh, right.
62
It must be tough trying to study in your room.
63
Yeah, it's pretty noisy, especially at the weekends.
64
Are you living on campus too?
65
Yes, I'm on campus, but there are only four people in our house, so it tends to be a bit quieter.
66
It's at the end of the footpath, not far from the sports centre.
67
Oh, right.
68
I know where you mean.
69
I play football on the pitch next to the sports centre.
70
I spend quite a lot of time around there.
71
Well, next time you're in that part, let me know.
72
You can come round for coffee.
73
Track 40 Hello.
74
Are you new?
75
I haven't seen you around before.
76
Hi.
77
Yeah.
78
Yeah.
79
I just arrived.
80
To tell you the truth, I'm a bit lost.
81
I saw on the university website that there are lots of the different food outlets on campus, but I don't know where to find them.
82
Oh, no problem.
83
I can tell you all about them.
84
There really are lots of places to eat on campus.
85
To start with, there's the old college dining room.
86
You can have hot meals three times a day there.
87
If you want to start the day with a hot breakfast, that's the place to go.
88
OK, so whereabouts is that?
89
It's next to the theatre, just between the bus stop and the shops.
90
But if you're more into fast food, like burgers or Chinese stir fry or fried chicken,
91
there's a huge fast food hall in the middle of the campus.
92
Is that the big building between the Students' Union building and the shops?
93
Yeah, that's right.
94
It's a great place to meet your friends.
95
There's always music and plenty of chat.
96
Sounds like my kind of place.
97
But if you just want a quiet place to have a coffee and a pastry, there's a snack bar by the lake.
98
It has Wi-Fi and an internet cafe, and it has a spectacular view over the lake.
99
Well, thank you very much.
100
Can I invite you...
101
Track 41 Section 1 You will hear a conversation between two students.
102
One of them is explaining to the other how to use the university library.
103
First, in the exam, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions 1 to 4.
104
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4 Excuse me,
105
Lily, could you help me?
106
You know we've got an essay to write about eating customs across the world Yeah, we have to borrow some books, don't we?
107
Yes, but I missed the library training
108
Do you think you could show me how to find the books and how to take them out?
109
Sure, no problem.
110
Shall I tell you about the different parts of the library first?
111
Oh, yes.
112
Thank you very much.
113
OK, then.
114
Let's look at the plan of the library.
115
Here you can see the main door on the north side that leads into the lobby.
116
In the middle of the building, there's a big open PC zone.
117
The lift and stairs are on the left as you go in, and on the other side of the building, there's the library cafe.
118
That part of the library is pretty sociable.
119
It's a good place to study with friends.
120
I really prefer to study alone.
121
Is there anywhere in the library I can go?
122
Oh, if you like studying in a quiet place, it's better to go upstairs to the silent zone.
123
As you come out of the lift or up the stairs, you'll see a section on your right facing north which is closed off.
124
That's the silent zone.
125
On the other side, facing south, are the bookshelves with all the cookbooks and...
126
Before you hear the next part of the conversation, in the exam you will have 20 seconds to look at questions 5 to 7.
127
Track 42.
128
Listen carefully and answer questions 5 to 7.
129
Now, can you show me how to find a book?
130
Well, the library is very big and the books on food could be under cookery
131
or they could be in history or even entertainment.
132
So the first thing to do is to look it up in the online catalogue.
133
Where do I do that?
134
It's easy.
135
There are lots of computers in the library for that.
136
OK, I see.
137
Right.
138
You look up the title first.
139
When you've found the book, you'll see it has a class mark next to it.
140
The class mark is one or two letters and a number.
141
Make a note of the class mark.
142
Then look it up on the plan of the library.
143
The plan shows you exactly what section of the library the books are actually kept in.
144
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, in the exam you will have 20 seconds to look at questions 8 to 10.
145
Track 43.
146
Listen carefully and answer questions 8 to 10.
147
Thank you very much, Lily.
148
So how do I borrow a book?
149
That's simple too.
150
When you go to the library, you'll have to take your student ID card.
151
When you want to borrow a book, you take it downstairs to the scanner.
152
Then, scan your ID card first.
153
Next, open the book and slide it under the scanner until it makes a sound, a short beep.
154
And that's all you have to do.
155
Oh, sorry, I forgot.
156
At the end, the system prints out a ticket.
157
It's a good idea to keep it for a while, just in case you have a problem with your loan.
158
Thanks again, Lily.
159
You've been really kind.
160
That is the end of section one.
161
In the exam, you will have half a minute to check your answers.

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。
