Track 52.
2
Hi, Martha.
3
How's the essay going?
4
Oh, hi, Carl.
5
The essay, oh, you know, there's a lot of reading.
6
It's difficult to remember all the different ideas and the different writers.
7
So, how do you keep up with it all?
8
Well, actually, I make a note of the writer's name and summarize their ideas in a notebook.
9
It's very old-fashioned, isn't it?
10
It is a bit.
11
Actually, I'm quite the opposite.
12
I've downloaded some free software from the internet.
13
It lets me save all the articles and e-books I get online and make notes on them.
14
I like it because it's cheaper than printing everything.
15
But what do you do, Enrique?
16
Oh, I'm afraid my note-taking system isn't as modern as that, and it's much more expensive.
17
I print the articles I find online, and I photocopy pages out of textbooks.
18
Then I go through and highlight all the important information with a pen.
19
Not very good for the environment, I'm afraid.
20
What about you, Jenny?
21
Um, I'm in the middle, really.
22
I don't use special software, but I keep all the articles I read online in folders on my PC, and make notes on them there.
23
Track 53.
24
Hey, Leslie, are you ready for the exam?
25
Hi, Chen.
26
I haven't seen you for weeks.
27
Am I ready?
28
I don't know.
29
I've been revising really hard, but I can't remember anything at the moment.
30
You know, I get ready for exams by planning a revision timetable.
31
It helps me make sure I've studied everything on time but just before an exam, my mind goes blank.
32
Yes, I know what you mean.
33
I've been trying out a new technique for remembering facts and details.
34
I heard about it in a psychology lecture.
35
What you do is put together pictures in your mind of the different things you want to remember.
36
It's usually better if you can make the pictures funny, like cartoons.
37
I hadn't heard of that it sounds like fun do you do
38
that too indira well i tried it once but it didn't help me much
39
i remember things by hearing them in my head i can't really study in the library
40
when people are talking because i have to be able to hear myself saying things over in my mind
41
it's easier for me to concentrate if i study at home late at night
42
when it's quieter what What do you do to remember things for exams, Mark?
43
I go to bed early the night before the exam and get up very early in the morning, like five o'clock, and then I read over my notes again just to refresh my memory.
44
I know a lot of lecturers tell us not to do last-minute revision, but it works well for me.
45
Track 54 Excuse me?
46
Yes?
47
Can I take my phone into the exam if I switch it off?
48
Your mobile?
49
No. No mobiles are allowed in the exam hall.
50
You can put it in your bag, though.
51
OK, but then what do I do with my bag?
52
Bags go in the lockers, down the corridor on the left.
53
There are keys in the doors.
54
Just lock the door and take the key with you.
55
Over here.
56
Look, have a look at the poster.
57
When you've put your things away, go to the main door of the exam hall and show the supervisor your student ID card.
58
Oh, okay, I see.
59
So I show my ID card at the door and then when I get into the exam hall, I need to look for my examination number?
60
Is that the same number as my ID card?
61
Yes, that's right.
62
The same number.
63
So where should I look for it?
64
Your examination number will be on a desk.
65
Ah, right.
66
Thank you very much.
67
No problem.
68
Good luck.
69
Track 55 Hi, guys.
70
Is everyone set to study for the exams then?
71
Does anyone have any hints about how to get ready for them?
72
I'm not sure where to start, really.
73
Any ideas, Barbara?
74
Well, Mac, there are lots of things we could do.
75
I mean, we could start by looking at old exam papers, or we could go through all the lecture notes for each subject.
76
What do you think?
77
I think it's better to go through this year's lecture notes first.
78
I mean, the exam topics might have changed since last year.
79
Do you agree, Gerry?
80
Yeah, I think you're right.
81
The lecture notes will tell us what the main topics of the subject are.
82
Do you think we could ask the tutors what the exam topics might be?
83
I think we could ask, and they might tell us roughly what to look at, but I don't think they'll tell us exactly what the topics will be.
84
I think it's a good idea to ask them just to know what to focus on.
85
So, what's next?
86
What do you think about reading all the books on the reading list?
87
Gerry?
88
Er, I don't think that's a very good idea.
89
We can't read all the books.
90
I think you're right.
91
What I think we have to do is try to remember the most important details
92
and arguments from the main writers and be ready to use them in the exam.
93
Yeah, OK.
94
Then the next thing to do is look at old exam papers and see what kind of questions we might get.
95
Yes, that's where the old exams will help, looking at the type of questions.
96
Right.
97
So, when we've worked out which topics we need to study and remembered the main ideas, we can look at old papers and write a few practice questions.
98
Yes, and that'll help...
99
CD 2.
100
Track 1.
101
Section 3.
102
You will hear three students discussing exam techniques with their tutor.
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.
105
Morning, everyone.
106
I thought we'd get together today and just talk about exam techniques.
107
I'm sure everyone has different ideas about them.
108
So, shall we find out what you do first when you get into an exam?
109
Check that you have the right exam paper.
110
It sounds funny, but students do actually answer the wrong exam paper sometimes,
111
so check that it's your exam first.
112
Then what?
113
Write your examination number on the answer sheet.
114
Well, it might sound obvious, but writing your examination number at the beginning of the exam can be a good idea.
115
Apart from making sure the examiner knows who wrote the exam, can anyone say why?
116
It can help you relax?
117
Yes, that's right.
118
Doing something easy like that gives you a chance to calm down.
119
Right, so what do you do next?
120
Read the questions carefully.
121
Well, before you read the questions, what should you do?
122
Read the instructions.
123
Yes, you should read the instructions next.
124
You need to know how many questions you have to answer
125
and whether you have to answer all the questions or only some.
126
What other important information do you need to check before you start?
127
How much time you have?
128
Yes, Gerry's right.
129
You need to make sure that you know how long the exam is, so you can manage your time properly.
130
Before you hear the next part of the conversation, in the exam, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions 5 to 8.
131
Track 2.
132
Listen and answer questions 5 to 8.
133
OK.
134
What do you do next?
135
Read the questions.
136
Yes, it's very important to read the questions, not just once, but several times.
137
I usually make a few notes when I'm looking at the questions.
138
Sometimes a question looks easy, and then when you start writing, you realise that it's actually more difficult than you thought.
139
Yeah, but you don't want to spend too much time writing notes.
140
No, but it's a good idea to jot down a few ideas to see
141
if you can remember the arguments for the topics you studied most.
142
Once we've decided, is it better just to start at the beginning and answer the questions as they appear on the exam,
143
or should we start with the easy questions?
144
Well, I start with the questions that I know better and leave the ones I'm not sure of for the end.
145
That's what I do, but I still keep an eye on the clock, especially when the questions are all worth the same number of marks.
146
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, in the exam you will have 20 seconds to look at questions 9 and 10.
147
Track 3 Listen and answer questions 9 and 10.
148
Max right.
149
If you write one very good answer, but it's only worth 30% of the marks, you still lose the other 70% on that exam.
150
So it's better to write our main ideas for a question, even if we don't have time to answer it properly.
151
Yes, absolutely.
152
We can't give you marks for writing nothing.
153
But if you give us your main ideas, we can give you some marks.
154
Oh, really?
155
I wish I'd known that in my last exam.
156
I spent all my time writing a long answer to one of the questions and didn't get round to the other two.
157
I didn't understand why I got such a low mark.
158
Yeah, that's what happened to me.
159
Luckily, my tutor explained it afterwards, so I never did that again.
160
That is the end of section three.
161
In the exam, you will have half a minute to check your answers.
162
Thank you.

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。
