Step 1.
3
You will hear a new answer into the code meter of the security test.
4
Step 2 has been coming to look at questions known at the school.
5
Oh, hello, my name's Stan, and I'd like to join your club.
6
Oh, yes, thanks.
7
It's you, Dan D.
8
Yes, it's dan1068 at market .com.
9
Well, I'm about 10 miles away from your car in Peachtown.
10
I live in a house there.
11
It is fifty -two, narrow for you, feet.
12
That's right.
13
I usually do that, but this time, well, I was talking to a relative the other day, and he suggested it.
14
He belongs to another class, but we've heard good things about yours.
15
Well, one thing that really interests you is the competitions that you have.
16
I enjoy answering them.
17
Well, I also like to specialise with other photographers.
18
What are the options?
19
I think I'll go for the pool membership then.
20
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions from Mm -hmm.
21
Now listen, I'm interested in the space of hair. Are you okay?
22
Are you still in the room?
23
Are you still in the room?
24
Not yet, but I have entered three in the past.
25
How do you think about it?
26
Why do you think about it?
27
Why do you think about it?
28
Why do you think about it?
29
Well, the theme was entitled Domestic Life Yeah,
30
I chose to take a photo of a family sitting around the dinner table having a meal
31
and I didn't worry but I did get some feedback That it was too busy as a picture.
32
That's right.
33
And once they told me that, I could see my mistake.
34
Well, my university was on the coast, and that area got a lot of beautiful sunshine.
35
So that's just the thing that I would do.
36
yes the instructions were to capture the clouds as well it couldn't just be blue sky
37
and a setting sun sure because they give you all those amazing pinks
38
and purples yeah and i thought i'd done that well
39
but the feedback was
40
that i should have waited a bit longer to get the shot i see
41
so the timing wasn't right yes i took it too soon basically
42
and then the third competition i entered was called animal magic
43
well that's a difficult subject i know i had to take hundreds of shots i'm sure
44
because animals move all the time that's what we had to
45
show there had to be some movement in the scene i
46
got a great shot of a fox in the end
47
but i took it at night and well i suspected
48
that it was a bit dark
49
which is what i was told well dan you seem to be really keen
50
and we'd be delighted to have you in our club i'm sure we can help with all those areas that you've outlined.
51
Thanks, that's great.
52
That is the end of part one.
53
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
54
Part 2 You will hear an expert on picking wild mushrooms called Dan talking on the radio.
55
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
56
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.
57
This evening we're delighted to welcome Dan Beagle, who's just written a book on looking for and finding food in the wild.
58
He's going to tell us everything we need to know about picking wild mushrooms.
59
Thank you very much.
60
Well, I need to start by talking about safety.
61
You really need to know what you're doing because some mushrooms are extremely poisonous.
62
Having said that, once you know what to look for, it's really worth doing for the amazing variety of mushrooms available
63
which you can't get in the shops
64
but of course you have to be very careful
65
and that's why I always say you should never consume mushrooms picked by friends
66
or neighbors always remember that some poisonous mushrooms look very similar to edible ones and it's easy for people to get confused.
67
The other thing to avoid is mushrooms growing beside busy roads, for obvious reasons.
68
But nothing beats the taste of freshly picked mushrooms.
69
Don't forget that the ones in the shops are often several days old and past their best.
70
There are certain ideas about wild mushrooms that it's important to be aware of.
71
Don't listen to people who tell you that it's only okay to eat mushrooms that are pale or dull.
72
This is completely untrue.
73
Some edible mushrooms are bright red, for example.
74
Personally, I prefer mushrooms cooked,
75
but it won't do you any harm to eat them uncooked in salads it's not necessary to peel them
76
Another thing you should remember is that you can't tell if a mushroom is safe to eat by its smell.
77
Some of the most deadly mushrooms have no smell and taste quite nice, apparently.
78
Finally, just because deer or squirrels eat a particular mushroom doesn't mean that you can.
79
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
80
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
81
Of course, mushroom picking is associated with the countryside, but if you haven't got a car,
82
your local park can be a great place to start.
83
There are usually a range of habitats where mushrooms grow, such as playing fields and wooded areas.
84
But you need to be there first thing in the morning, as there's likely to be a lot of competition.
85
Not just from people, but wildlife too.
86
The deer often get the best mushrooms in my local park.
87
If you're a complete beginner, I wouldn't recommend going alone or relying on photos in a book,
88
even the one I've written.
89
There are some really good phone apps for identifying mushrooms, but you can't always rely on getting a good signal in the middle of a wood.
90
If possible, you should go with a group led by an expert.
91
You'll stay safe and learn a lot that way.
92
Conservation is a really important consideration and you must follow a few basic rules.
93
You should never pick all the mushrooms in one area.
94
Collect only enough for your own needs.
95
Be very careful that you don't trample on young mushrooms or other plants.
96
And make sure you don't pick any mushrooms that are endangered and protected by law.
97
There's been a decline in some varieties of wild mushrooms in this part of the country.
98
Restaurants are becoming more interested in locally sourced food like wild mushrooms, but the biggest problem is that
99
so many new houses have been built in this area in the last 10 years
100
and more water is being taken from rivers and reservoirs because of this and mushroom habitats have been destroyed.
101
Anyway, a word of advice on storing mushrooms mushrooms.
102
Collect them in a brown paper bag, and as soon as you get home, put them in the fridge.
103
They'll be fine for a couple of days, but it's best to cook them as soon as possible.
104
After washing them really carefully first, of course.
105
So, everybody knows what a mushroom tastes like, right?
106
Well, you'll be surprised by the huge variety of wild mushrooms there are. Be adventurous.
107
They're great in so many dishes.
108
Stir fries, risottos, pasta.
109
But just be aware that some people can react badly to certain varieties,
110
so it's a good idea not to eat huge quantities to begin with.
111
Okay, so now I'm going to show you a few examples of poisonous milk.
112
That is the end of part two.
113
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.
114
Part 3 You will hear two business students discussing automation and the future of work.
115
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
116
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
117
That seminar yesterday on automation and the future of work was really good, wasn't it?
118
Looking at the first industrial revolution in Britain in the 19th century
119
and seeing how people reacted to massive change was a real eye -opener.
120
Yes.
121
It was interesting to hear how people felt about automation then and what challenges they faced.
122
I didn't know that first started with workers in the textile industry.
123
With those protesting workers called the Luddites destroying their knitting machines because they were so worried about losing their jobs.
124
Yes, and ultimately they didn't achieve anything.
125
And anyway, industrialisation created more jobs than it destroyed.
126
Yes, that's true.
127
But it probably didn't seem a positive thing at the time.
128
I can see why the Luddites felt so threatened.
129
I know.
130
I'm sure I would have felt the same.
131
The discussion about the future of work was really optimistic for a change.
132
I like the idea that work won't involve doing boring, repetitive tasks, as robots will do all that.
133
Normally, you only hear negative stuff about the future.
134
Bit too optimistic, don't you think?
135
For example, I can't see how people are about to have more leisure time, when all the evidence shows people are spending longer than ever at work.
136
No, that's true.
137
And what about lower unemployment?
138
I'm not so sure about that.
139
Perhaps in the long term.
140
But not in the foreseeable future.
141
And I expect most people will be expected to work until they're much older, as everyone's living much longer.
142
That's already happening.
143
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
144
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
145
I enjoyed all that stuff on how technology has changed some jobs and how they're likely to change in the near future.
146
Yeah, incredible.
147
Like accountants.
148
You might think all the technological innovations would have put them out of a job, but in fact there are more of them than ever.
149
They're still really in demand and have become far more efficient.
150
Right.
151
That was amazing.
152
Twenty times more accountants in this country compared to the 19th century.
153
I know.
154
I'd never have thought the demand for hairdressing would have gone up so much in the last hundred years.
155
One hairdresser for every 287 people now, compared to one for over 1 ,500.
156
Yeah, because people's earning power has gone up so they can afford to spend more on personal services like that.
157
But technology hasn't changed the actual job that much.
158
No, they've got hair dryers, etc. But it's one job where you don't depend on a computer.
159
The kind of work that administrative staff do has changed enormously, thanks to technology.
160
Even 20 years ago, there were secretaries doing dictation and typing.
161
Yes, really boring compared to these days, when they're given much more responsibility and higher status.
162
Hmm.
163
A lot of graduates go in for this kind of work now.
164
I'd expected there to be a much bigger change in the number of agricultural workers in the 19th century.
165
But the 1871 census showed that roughly 25 % of the population worked on the land.
166
Yeah, I'd have assumed it would be more than 50%.
167
Now it's less than 0 .2%.
168
What about care workers?
169
They barely existed in the 19th century, as people's lifespan was so much shorter.
170
But now, of course, this sector will see huge growth.
171
Yeah, and it's hard enough to meet current demand.
172
The future looks quite bleak for bank clerks.
173
They've been in decline since ATMs were introduced in the 80s.
174
And technology will certainly make most of the jobs they do now redundant, I think.
175
I agree.
176
Although the situation may change, it's very hard to predict what will happen.
177
That is the end of part three.
178
You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part 3.
179
Part 4.
180
You will hear part of a lecture for astronomy students about the need for a system to manage satellites
181
and other objects orbiting the Earth.
182
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
183
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
184
In today's astronomy lecture, I'm going to talk about the need for a system to manage the movement of satellites
185
and other objects in orbit around the Earth.
186
In other words, a space traffic management system.
187
We already have effective air traffic control systems that are used internationally to ensure that planes navigate our skies safely.
188
Well, space traffic management is a similar concept, but focusing on the control of satellites.
189
The aim of such a system would be to prevent the
190
danger of collisions in space between the objects in orbit around the Earth.
191
In order to do this, we'd need to have a set of legal measures,
192
and we'd also have to develop the technical systems to enable us to prevent such accidents.
193
But unfortunately, at present, we don't actually have a space traffic management system that works.
194
So, why not?
195
What are the problems in developing such a system?
196
Well, for one thing, satellites are relatively cheap these days, compared with how they were in the past,
197
meaning that more people can afford to put them into space.
198
So there's a lot more of them out there, and people aren't just launching single satellites,
199
but whole constellations consisting of thousands of them designed to work together.
200
So space is getting more crowded every day.
201
But in spite of this, one thing you may be surprised to learn is that you can launch a satellite into space and once it's out there,
202
it doesn't have to send back any information to Earth to allow its identification.
203
So while we have international systems for ensuring we know where the planes in our skies are, and to prevent them from colliding with one another.
204
When it comes to the safety of satellites, at present we don't have anything like enough proper ways of tracking them.
205
And it isn't just entire satellites that we need to consider.
206
A greater threat is the huge amount of space debris in orbit around the Earth,
207
broken bits of satellite and junk from space stations and so on.
208
And some of these are so small that they can be very hard to identify, but they can still be very dangerous.
209
In addition, some operators may be unwilling to share information about the satellites they've launched. For example,
210
a satellite may be designed for military purposes
211
or it may have been launched for commercial reasons and the operators don't want competitors to have information about it.
212
And even if the operators are willing to provide it, the information isn't easy to collect details are needed about the
213
object itself as well as about its location at a particular time
214
and remember that a satellite isn't very big
215
and it's likely to be moving at thousands of kilometers an hour we don't have any sensors
216
that can constantly follow something moving so fast so all
217
that the scientists can do is to put forward a prediction concerning where the satellite is heading next.
218
So those are some of the problems that we're facing.
219
Let's consider now some of the solutions that have been suggested.
220
One key issue is the way in which information is dealt with.
221
We need more information, but it also needs to be accessible at a global level, so we We need to establish shared standards
222
that we can all agree on for the way in which this information is presented.
223
We already do this in other areas of science, so although this is a challenge, it's not an impossible task.
224
Then as all this information is collected, it needs to be put together so it can be used,
225
and that will involve creating a single database on which it can be entered.
226
As we continue to push forward new developments, congestion of the space environment is only going to increase.
227
To cope with this, we need to develop a system like the one I've described to coordinate the work of the numerous spacecraft operators.
228
But it's also essential that this system is one that establishes trust in the people that use it,
229
both nationally and at a global level one interesting development
230
that I'll mention
231

この動画で鍛える英語スピーキングの目標

この会話は、日常的なコミュニケーションに必要な「自然な流れの会話」を習得するのに最適です。特に、相手の話に合わせて質問をしたり、自己紹介をしたりする際の「流暢さ」を目指します。動画で英語学習をすることで、リアルな会話のリズムを体得し、shadowspeaksのようなシャドーイング練習にも活かせます。

使えるフレーズバンク

  • 「I'd like to join your club.」(クラブに入りたいです。) - 新しいコミュニティに参加する際の基本フレーズ
  • 「He suggested it.」(彼が提案してくれました。) - 他人のアドバイスを伝える時に使える
  • 「I got some feedback that...」(...というフィードバックをもらいました。) - 意見や評価を述べる表現
  • 「I could see my mistake.」(自分の間違いがわかりました。) - 反省や気づきを伝える際の自然な言い方

弱点を直す!発音とリズムのポイント

この会話には「弱い発音」や「リズムの変化」がたくさんあり、英語の発音を良くするのに役立ちます。例えば、「I'm about 10 miles away」の「about」は弱く発音され、「10 miles」が強調されます。また、「Well, I was talking to a relative」の「Well」は会話の流れをスムーズにするためのつなぎ言葉で、リズムを感じながらシャドーイングすると、自然な発音が身につきます。英語シャドーイングの練習にこの動画を使えば、日常会話のリアルなリズムを掴むことができます。

英語スピーキング練習には、こうしたリアルな会話を繰り返し聞き、真似ることが大切です。動画で英語学習を続けることで、徐々に流暢な会話ができるようになります。

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。
