Track 44 And now for some local news.

When the receptionist arrived at Goodmead Primary School on Monday, she found that someone had broken into the office and stolen several laptops, so she called the police.
3
They came to look at the crime scene straight away
4
and advised her to make sure she locked up the office every evening in future.
5
They also suggested that she should watch out for any strangers nearby.
6
Two days later, the police called to say that they had called the thieves and arrested them.
7
They said they would take them to court in the next few days.

Track 45 When the receptionist arrived at Goodmead Primary School on Monday,
9
she found that someone had broken into the office and stolen several laptops, so she called the police.
10
Track 46 Good morning.
11
Thank you for inviting me to talk to you today.
12
I like speaking to students, especially when there's a chance of making their lives a bit safer.
13
Just to start, does anyone know what the most common crime is?
14
No?
15
Well, theft is the most common crime in the UK.
16
There are various kinds of theft.
17
For instance, robbery.
18
When a thief takes something away from someone personally,
19
like when you're walking in the street and someone grabs your handbag or your mobile and runs away, that's robbery.
20
Another form of theft is burglary.
21
When a thief breaks into your house and steals your property.
22
Okay, now I'd like to go on to talk about safety on holiday.
23
You probably know that when you're on holiday abroad, you're in much more danger of being robbed.
24
This is because you probably don't know the country very well.
25
For example, you might not realise that you're in a dangerous area.
26
One of the things you can do to protect yourself is to keep your passport
27
and money in the safe in the hotel.
28
You can always go back and get them if you need them.
29
Another thing you can do is take an old mobile with
30
you on holiday these new smartphones are very popular with thieves
31
all over the world it's safer just to take an old one
32
track 47 hello everyone i'm jennifer
33
and i work for campus security welcome to this very short
34
talk about emergency phone numbers to start with you need to know
35
that emergency numbers aren't the same in every country as we're in britain at the moment it's important to know
36
that the emergency number is 999
37
so you'll need to remember this those of you who've been to the united states will know
38
that the emergency number is 9-1-1 slightly different but in australia the the emergency number is completely different.
39
It's 000.
40
In Germany, the emergency number is the same as the rest of Europe.
41
That's 112.
42
And in case anyone's thinking of going on holiday to India this summer, it's useful to know that the emergency number there is 100.
43
Track 48.
44
Good morning.
45
I'm here today to give you a few tips about security on campus.
46
We're not just here to prevent crime, but to make sure you're safe 24 hours a day.
47
One of the services we provide for students who live on campus is to walk home with you
48
if you need to cross the campus late at night.
49
I mean, we all know the halls of residence are quite a long way from the library don't we?
50
So, for example, if you've been studying in the library till late and you're nervous about going home alone,
51
all you have to do is ring campus security on 3333 and we'll send someone to make sure you're safe.
52
Okay?
53
By the way, another important thing to remember is the campus emergency number.
54
We all know the national emergency number in the UK is 999,
55
but when you're on campus and there's an emergency, you should call 3333.
56
If you call 3333, you'll get through to our own staff right here on campus.
57
They can react quickly and get to you faster than national services.
58
Track 49.
59
Section 2.
60
You will hear a talk about safety in different regions.
61
First, in the exam, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions 1 to 4.
62
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
63
Good evening, everyone.
64
It's great to be here to talk to you about staying safe on holiday.
65
Before I came this evening, I did a little research on where students like to go for their holidays and came up with two different regions,
66
Latin America and India.
67
So, I've been looking at the crime figures for both areas, and I thought I'd start by talking a bit about that.
68
Then I'll give you some advice about how to avoid becoming a victim of crime.
69
OK, first of all, let's look at what kinds of crime are committed most in different regions.
70
OK, I'll start with India.
71
Generally, India isn't thought of as a dangerous place for individuals, but there has been an increase in handbag theft in recent years.
72
So, keep an eye on your bag when you're out in the street.
73
Right.
74
Now, let's look at Latin America.
75
Of course, you do realise that not all Latin American countries are the same,
76
but it is true to say that guns are used in a high percentage of crimes across the region.
77
Looking at the figures, it seems that gun crime is a serious problem throughout out.
78
Before you hear the next part of the talk, in the exam you will have 20 seconds to look at questions 5 to 7.
79
Track 50.
80
Listen and answer questions 5 to 7.
81
I can see some of you are thinking that it all sounds rather dangerous, but I know lots of people who've been there and had a really great time.
82
They followed advice from the authorities, like making sure they didn't wear expensive jewellery in the street.
83
And I'd certainly advise anyone travelling to Latin America to do the same.
84
Another thing you should be careful of is not to go to lonely places at night, but of course that's the same anywhere.
85
But I must say, you do have to be very careful in some parts of Latin America
86
when you take your money out of a cash machine,
87
Sometimes you find that thieves stand very close to people at cash machines and take their money as it comes out.
88
Before you hear the rest of the talk, in the exam you will have 20 seconds to look at questions 8 to 10.
89
Track 51.
90
Listen and answer questions 8 to 10.
91
Okay, so now I'll finish by talking a little bit about India.
92
I've actually been to India, and I didn't have any feeling that it was dangerous at all.
93
First of all, I went on an organised tour with a group of people.
94
This is definitely the best way to go because it's so much safer.
95
I mean, I didn't go anywhere without the group, and we had a tour guide who spoke the local language and knew the area.
96
In fact, I remember now, she warned us not to go off with strangers, even if they seem nice and friendly.
97
But again, you wouldn't do that at home either, would you?
98
That is the end of section two.
99
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。
