Section 3.
2
You will hear a student called John talking to a professor about a design competition he is entering.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
6
Um, hello, Professor.
7
I'm John Wishart.
8
I'm working on my entry for the Global Design Competition.
9
My tutor said you might be able to help me with it.
10
Ah, yes, I got a copy of your drawings.
11
Come in and tell me about it.
12
What sort of competition is it?
13
Well, it's an international design competition and we have to come up with a new design for a typical domestic kitchen appliance.
14
I see.
15
And are there any special conditions?
16
Does it have to save energy, for example?
17
Actually, that was the focus in last year's competition.
18
This year's different.
19
We have to adopt an innovative approach to existing technology, using it in a way that hasn't been thought of before.
20
I see.
21
That sounds tricky.
22
And what kitchen appliance have you chosen?
23
Well, I decided to choose the dishwasher.
24
Interesting.
25
What made you choose that?
26
Well, they're an everyday kitchen appliance in most Australian houses, but they're all pretty boring and almost identical to each other.
27
I think some people will be prepared to pay a little extra for something that looks different.
28
That's a nice idea.
29
I see you've called your design the rock pool.
30
Why is that?
31
Basically because it looks like the rock pools you find on a beach.
32
The top is made of glass so that you can look down into it.
33
And there's a stone at the bottom.
34
Is that just for decoration?
35
Actually, it does have a function.
36
Instead of pushing a button, you turn the stone.
37
So it's really just another way of starting the dishwasher?
38
That's right.
39
It's a really nice design.
40
But what makes it innovative?
41
Well, I decided to make a dishwasher that uses carbon dioxide.
42
In place of water and detergent?
43
How will you manage that?
44
The idea is to pressurise the carbon dioxide so that it becomes a liquid.
45
The fluid is then released into the dishwasher where it cleans the dishes all by itself.
46
Sounds like a brilliant idea.
47
Your system will totally do away with the need for strong detergents.
48
So what happens once the dishes are clean?
49
Well, to allow them to dry, the liquid carbon dioxide and the waste materials all go to an area called the holding chamber.
50
That's where the liquid is depressurised and so it reverts to a gas.
51
Then the oil and grease are separated out and sent to the waste system.
52
It sounds like you've thought it all out very thoroughly.
53
So what happens to the carbon dioxide once the process is complete?
54
Not wasted, I hope.
55
Actually, that's where the real savings are made.
56
The carbon dioxide is sent back to the cylinder and can be used again and again.
57
What a terrific idea!
58
Do you think it will ever be built?
59
Probably not, but that's OK.
60
Well, I'm sure a lot of positive things will come out of your design.
61
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26-30.
62
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
63
Now you seem to have thought about everything, so what exactly did you need me to help you with?
64
Well, my design has made it to the final stage of the competition, and in a few months' time I have to give a presentation,
65
and that's the part I was hoping you could help me with.
66
Right, well that should be easy enough.
67
What have you managed to do so far?
68
Well, I've got detailed drawings to show how it will work, and I've also written a 500-word paper on it.
69
I see.
70
Well, if you want to stand a good chance of winning, you really need a model of the machine.
71
Yes, I thought I might, but I'm having a few problems.
72
What's the main difficulty so far?
73
Ah, let me guess, is it the materials?
74
Yes.
75
I want it to look professional, but everything that's top quality is also very expensive.
76
Look, projects like this are very important to us.
77
They really help lift our profile.
78
So why don't you talk to the university about a grant?
79
I can help you fill out the application forms if you like.
80
That would be great.
81
You'd better show me this paper you've written as well.
82
For a global competition such as this, you need to make sure the technical details you've given are accurate and thorough.
83
That would be a great help.
84
Is there anything else I can do?
85
Well, I'm really nervous.
86
That is the end of section three.
87
You now have half a...

この動画がスピーキング練習に最適な理由

学生ジョンと教授の会話は、IELTS スピーキング対策にぴったりの素材です。日常的なトピック(デザインコンペ)を扱いながら、専門用語と自然な会話のリズムが混在しています。聞き取りやすいスピードで、発音もはっきりしているため、shadowing(シャドーイング)の練習に最適です。特に「革新的なアプローチ」や「二酸化炭素の利用」などの表現は、論述的なスピーキングで必要な語彙力を養います。

自然な会話のポイントを分解してみよう

  • 「I think some people will be prepared to pay a little extra for something that looks different.」
    「~する用意がある」を「be prepared to」、「少し余分に払う」を「pay a little extra」と表現するのが自然です。「something that looks different」のように、簡単な関係詞節を使うと、文が豊かになります。
  • 「Instead of pushing a button, you turn the stone.」
    「~の代わりに」を「instead of」、「ボタンを押す」を「pushing a button」と動名詞で表すのが一般的です。「turn the stone」の「turn」は「回す」という意味で、機械操作の場面でよく使われます。
  • 「The fluid is then released into the dishwasher where it cleans the dishes all by itself.」
    受動態「is released」を使うことで、客観的な説明になります。「where it cleans...」の関係詞節は、「dishwasher」の機能を明確にします。「all by itself」は「単独で」という意味で、効果的な表現です。

効果的な練習ルーティン:repeat-and-record

shadowing siteなどを使わなくても、この動画で簡単に英語スピーキング練習ができます。まず、動画を10秒ほど再生して止め、そのまま真似て発音してみましょう。それを録音し、元の音声と比べて、イントネーションやリズムの違いを確認します。特に「Um, hello, Professor. I'm John Wishart.」のような前置きの表現は、自然な会話の流れを作るコツです。1日10分、このルーティンを続けると、shadowspeak(シャドースピーク)のスキルが上達し、IELTSのスピーキングでも自信がつきますよ。

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型動画での表現
現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係しているhasn't been thought · you've called · you've thought
受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てるbeen thought · is made · is then released

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。
