レッスンを作成中...
1
Test 1.
2
You will hear a number of different recordings, and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
3
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions, and you will have a chance to check your work.
4
All the recordings will be played once only.
5
The test is in four sections.
6
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
7
Now turn to section 1.
8
Section 1.
9
You will hear a conversation between a clerk from a moving company
10
and a woman who wants to relocate to the United States.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
12
You will see that there is an example which has been done for you.
13
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
14
Good morning, ma'am, and welcome to Australia's moving experience.
15
How can I help you?
16
Well, I hope you can help me.
17
I'm so up in the air right now.
18
Just calm down now.
19
Let me guess.
20
You're moving and it has you a little confused.
21
That's it, exactly.
22
You see, I'm relocating to the United States next month and I'm having a hard time getting organised.
23
Here, fill out your name and address and let me ask you a few questions.
24
Oh, what should I call you?
25
My name is Jane, Jane Bond.
26
The woman says that her full name is Jane Bond.
27
So Jane Bond has been written in the space.
28
Now we shall begin.
29
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
30
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
31
Good morning, ma'am, and welcome to Australia's moving experience.
32
How can I help you?
33
Well, I hope you can help me.
34
I'm so up in the air right now.
35
Just calm down now.
36
Let me guess.
37
You're moving and it has you a little confused.
38
That's it exactly.
39
You see, I'm relocating to the United States next month and I'm having a hard time getting organised.
40
Here, fill out your name and address and let me ask you a few questions.
41
Oh, what should I call you?
42
My name is Jane.
43
Jane Bond.
44
OK, Jane.
45
First of all, what's your work phone number?
46
In case I have any questions about things.
47
My work phone is 9463 5550.
48
But please try not to call me too often there.
49
My boss hates personal calls.
50
So does mine, ma'am.
51
So does mine.
52
And what address should we ship your things to?
53
My new company is letting me stay temporarily at 509 Clark House.
54
That's C-L-A-R-K.
55
1137 University Drive in Seattle.
56
Seattle?
57
Beautiful city, I hear.
58
Mountains right beside the ocean almost.
59
Cooler than Australia too.
60
OK, and when should we come pack your things?
61
I guess that would be on Monday, March 11th.
62
Do you want any help with an afterpacking clean-up?
63
We do that for a small additional charge.
64
Yes, that would be helpful.
65
I promised the landlord I'd give her the keys back by 5pm on Thursday 14th.
66
Great.
67
We'll just schedule the clean-up for that day.
68
That way, the place will smell clean and there'll be no dust.
69
Well, you do think of everything.
70
Oh, how much is this going to cost?
71
Here is a list of our basic prices.
72
Oh dear, this seems rather expensive.
73
Yes, ma'am, but you're paying for the best.
74
We're careful and we're fast.
75
Like we say, the only thing we break are speed records getting you moved.
76
Well, maybe that's so.
77
Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you, I don't want my furniture shipped with me.
78
I won't be looking for an apartment till after I arrive in America.
79
Would it be possible to put my furniture in storage here for a month, then have it sent along later?
80
Of course, we do that all the time.
81
A couple of other things.
82
Here at A Moving Experience, we try to pack your things logically.
83
We don't just throw stuff in boxes.
84
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
85
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
86
Do you have any special requests?
87
You know, things you want packed in some special plays so you know where to find them.
88
Like what?
89
Oh, I don't know.
90
Things like dishes, maybe.
91
Not to be rude, but you look like a lady who likes to eat.
92
Ah, yes.
93
I need my dishes and things where I can find them quickly.
94
Great.
95
We'll put those dishes and cutlery in what we call the emergency pack.
96
Can you think of anything else?
97
Mmm, I do have an antique tea kettle my great-grandmother gave my mother.
98
I wouldn't want to lose that.
99
So I guess you'd better put that in storage with the furniture.
100
Grandma's tea kettle with the furniture.
101
Got it.
102
Say, how about things like your alarm clock?
103
You don't want to miss your plane on the big day, right?
104
Well, you certainly think of everything.
105
Yes, that's right.
106
I'll also need my alarm clock where I can find it.
107
Fine, we'll put that in your personal package.
108
And of course, we'll give you a list of where we pack everything.
109
So all you'll have to do on Thursday the 14th is grab your luggage on your way out the door.
110
Um, I couldn't help noticing the new CD player you're carrying.
111
Is that a Samsung?
112
Why, yes it is.
113
One of their best.
114
Cost me nearly $100 it did.
115
Do you want to take special care of it?
116
I mean, it's brand new.
117
Take care of it, but nothing special.
118
You can just put it in storage with the furniture.
119
That looks like everything we need here.
120
I guess you're all set.
121
That was certainly quick.
122
Thank you, young man.
123
This has been a most moving experience.
124
Now turn to section 2.
125
Section 2.
126
You'll hear an introduction to a conference on computer system language learning.
127
First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16 Now,
128
listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
129
Good morning everyone and welcome to the second annual Wallabaloo Conference on Mastering Computer Languages.
130
I hope you all had a good trip.
131
Before we get underway with today's program, let me fill you in as to what's on tap for tomorrow, Sunday, February 19th.
132
At 9am, right here in the main hall, we'll be hearing a lecture from Dr John Smith about Computer as Teacher.
133
Professor Smith from the University of Melbourne is a world-class expert in the field of computer-assisted education
134
and his talk promises to be both stimulating and informative.
135
Immediately afterwards, at 10.30, there will be a presentation of papers by various delegates.
136
That, however, will take place in the garden room on the ground floor.
137
If you don't yet know, the garden room is also called the ballroom and will be gathering at the west end, the slightly raised area called level 2.
138
Just look for the crowd.
139
If you get lost, there are signs in the foyer.
140
After all that thinking, talking and listening, I expect everyone will be a bit weary.
141
So, at 11.15, there will be a break for coffee, cookies and other light refreshments.
142
These will be available at the aptly named refreshment stand, placed by the door back here in the main hall.
143
Also, if you choose to skip the formal lunch, you can buy a packed lunch at the stand for a reasonable price I strongly urge you,
144
however, to join us at the formal lunch That won't be till 1 o'clock sharp, so you have time to stroll about town a bit We'll
145
be eating at the Seaview restaurant The restaurant is located right
146
here in the hotel on the top floor It's a good dozen flights of stairs, so I suggest you take the lift on the ground floor, eh?
147
If you're not fond of fish, there's an all-you-can-eat barbecue available as well.
148
They even offer wallaby meat.
149
After lunch, we'll troop back downstairs to Level 2 in the ballroom for the presentation of further papers, which will begin at 2pm.
150
Please try to be on time.
151
I know you'll be a bit tired after lunch, but the ballroom echoes so with people coming in late.
152
Thank you in advance.
153
Once we've heard the papers, we'll break for afternoon tea at 3.10pm.
154
No need to walk.
155
The manager of the refreshment stand has graciously agreed to have tea served in the ballroom.
156
He's even promised us some special scones, baked from a recipe of his dear old Scottish grandmother.
157
Then, tea being drunk and scones munched, we'll retire here to the main hall for some closing remarks and questions.
158
So, by 5 o'clock, we should have the conference wrapped up.
159
But the fun isn't over.
160
This is Australia, mates.
161
We'll be flocking to the hotel's own Palm Lounge on the east side of the foyer for an informal reception.
162
You can relax, mingle with the other delegates and let your hair down a bit.
163
This will run from 5.10 to 6.10, though you're free to stay as long as you like.
164
The lounge manager has informed me that for the duration of the actual reception, you can have all-you-can-drink beer for $20 with purchase of an advance ticket.
165
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.
166
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
167
And yes, tickets can be purchased from any conference organiser
168
or at the front desk any time between now and the start of the reception.
169
I suggest you come by tomorrow evening to pick up the tickets, since the conference hall only holds 800 people.
170
That way, you can also get your journey planned ahead of time, and be sure not to miss this truly memorable conference.
171
If you want cocktails, however, I'm sorry, you'll have to pay for those at the regular price.
172
Oh my goodness!
173
Speaking of paying, I see I forgot to tell you a couple of things.
174
The first is about lunch.
175
The charge for the lunch will be $15 for all you delegates.
176
If you have guests with you, the cost is $25 for the general public and $6.50 for children under the age of 10.
177
That's $15 each, not total for everyone.
178
Another item is about the lunch menu.
179
I very much urge you to try the fish.
180
I mean, look at the restaurant's name, the sea view.
181
As the name suggests, it is a famous seafood restaurant.
182
The chef is a Basque from Spain and he really gets quite put out
183
when people ignore his fish specialities for burgers or barbecue.
184
If fish isn't your thing though, try the steak.
185
He makes an exquisite filet mignon topped with blue cheese and mushrooms.
186
Finally, if you'd like to buy a ticket, you can have both lunch and unlimited beer for $35.
187
I should have mentioned that earlier, but I am a bit forgetful.
188
Maybe I should avoid the beer after the conference, eh?
189
Well, I've said my bit.
190
Are there any questions?
191
That is the end of section two.
192
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
193
Now turn to section 3.
194
Section 3.
195
You will hear a student called Tina asking Professor Van Deesen for advice on choosing courses.
196
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
197
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
198
Hello, are you Professor Van Deesen?
199
Yes, I am.
200
And who might you be?
201
Oh, sorry, my name is Tina.
202
I'm a freshman here.
203
They told me I should ask you for advice in choosing courses.
204
Well, that's part of what I'm here for.
205
Please come in and sit down.
206
Now, what are your questions?
207
I...
208
I almost don't know.
209
Everything is so confusing.
210
Like, what is a specialized course?
211
Oh, easy.
212
A specialized course is one that is compulsory, meaning it's a requirement for your major and regular,
213
so you can't place out by taking a proficiency exam.
214
That sounds pretty strict.
215
Then what are all these general courses?
216
I seem to have to take so many.
217
Nothing to be alarmed over.
218
These are courses open to all students and not directly related to your major.
219
The university offers these general courses to choose so that you can become more well-rounded individuals.
220
For example, I see you're a microbiology major, so it might be a good idea to take some literature
221
or history courses so that you can know something besides all science.
222
You mean these courses are like for fun?
223
That might be one way to look at it, but don't tell the literature professor such a thing.
224
Think of a general course as the opposite of a specified course.
225
A specified course is one that pertains directly to your major.
226
So, can I take any microbiology course I want?
227
Let's see.
228
Oh, those courses used to be open to microbiology students only.
229
The good thing is, now it's open to students on a flexible schedule, so it's not only for full-time students.
230
So, the answer is yes, if you have the instructor's permission.
231
May I ask you why you chose microbiology?
232
Well, I also like plain old biology too.
233
You know, full-size animals.
234
I might even become a veterinarian.
235
Could I take some biology classes?
236
Well, they are open to full-time students only, which I believe is what you are.
237
I don't know how a freshman would get along with microbiology, though.
238
I mean, most of the students presently looking into it are from off-campus.
239
Off-campus?
240
Yes, you know, people who use it in their work at hospitals, laboratories, even a police detective.
241
Why did you choose microbiology, if I may ask?
242
I don't think you quite answered that.
243
Well, eventually I want to be a doctor.
244
At least my dad tells me so.
245
If I may say so, young lady, you seem a little uncertain.
246
Still, I think that might be a good idea for a career.
247
Of course, if you're thinking about being either a doctor or a vet, you should take some medical science classes before you even think of applying to med school.
248
Great!
249
What should I take?
250
There is one small problem.
251
The new medical sciences building is under construction, so there are no experimental facilities available until next year.
252
I'm afraid you'll have to wait.
253
But don't forget to take those courses at the first opportunity.
254
Oh, bummer.
255
Is there any other course you'd recommend for someone like me?
256
Well, since you seem to like animals, have you ever thought about looking into environmental science?
257
No, I never really thought about it before.
258
Is it worthwhile?
259
Quite.
260
In fact, it's the fastest growing subject on this campus.
261
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.
262
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
263
I'm sorry, I couldn't help noticing the long list of classes you've written out there.
264
May I have a look?
265
Oh, sure.
266
Medical science, statistics, laboratory techniques, medicine, mathematics, computing.
267
My, my, a bit of everything here.
268
Is it too much?
269
For your first semester, yes.
270
What I suggest is starting out by taking the compulsory courses.
271
Like we said before, the medical science can wait.
272
Consider taking that in your sophomore year.
273
I think I'd put off computing, too.
274
I recommend to all freshmen that I talk to to get the compulsory mathematics out of the way as early as possible, so take that one.
275
It'll be one less difficult course you have to focus on when the science lab opens next year, and you have to catch up on classes like laboratory techniques.
276
Your major also requires statistics, so you have to balance two math classes, and no doubt you should take that.
277
Otherwise, get your required medicine course out of the way by taking something theory-based.
278
Oh, of course, and your environmental science class, if you're interested.
279
The others can wait, though I think computing is definitely a good idea, even though it's not required.
280
I see, too, on your paper there you seem to have had high marks on the entrance exam.
281
Uh, yeah, I guess so.
282
Don't be shy.
283
Have you thought about applying for a scholarship?
284
Do they have any?
285
I mean, my dad is always complaining about how much money it costs him.
286
In your department there are actually three full scholarships available.
287
They cover tuition and provide $1,500 cash.
288
$1,500 cash?
289
Party!
290
Please, miss, the money is intended more as a textbook allowance, not party money.
291
If you promise to behave, I'll show you how to apply.
292
Great, and thanks!
293
That is the end of Section 3.
294
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
295
Now turn to section 4.
296
Section 4 You will hear a lecture about how to choose flooring materials.
297
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
298
Thank you.
299
We've been talking about choosing building materials in the last week.
300
Now, a great many factors influence the choice of building materials.
301
You can't make a house of cards, right?
302
And people who live in glass houses and all that.
303
Anyhow, today I'd like to say a few words about flooring.
304
Some artificial materials can be used, like plastic for instance, which offer mixed blessings when used as a flooring surface.
305
On the one hand, plastic is cheaper than nearly any other alternative, short of bare ground.
306
Plastic also does not warp like wood.
307
On the other hand, the best that can be said about plastic is that it looks like wood or stone.
308
However, it cannot replace the real materials.
309
As I have mentioned, I'm fixing up a new house.
310
The decorator my wife hired told me plastic does a great job of looking exactly like plastic.
311
Besides, it scratches easily, fades or discolours and starts cracking within a year or two.
312
So if you're fitting out a sleazy hotel or plan to live in a trailer park, go with the plastic.
313
Really though, for all intents and purposes, this leaves us with wood or stone as choices for flooring.
314
Stone and wood are alike in at least one respect.
315
Both go through processing before they can be put to use.
316
Since few of us cut our own lumber or quarry our own stone, this is not perhaps a pressing concern.
317
Still, do it yourself as wood do well to remember to buy only properly seasoned wood.
318
Unseasoned wood warps and a warped floor quickly becomes firewood and its owner quickly becomes poorer.
319
Likewise, except for dull-hued materials like slate or sandstone, most stone floors are polished before installation.
320
The choice goes well beyond just wood or stone.
321
Each type requires many further considerations.
322
A few special remarks are called for when considering wood.
323
For example, as always, aesthetics, personal taste and layout all play roles, as well as the type of house or room.
324
Oh, and certainly don't forget the cost.
325
When When it comes to cost, a rule of thumb is that the softer and less exotic the wood, the lower the cost.
326
In the US, for instance, pine is both ubiquitous and cheap.
327
Mahogany is imported and exorbitantly expensive.
328
If you're on any kind of budget when remodelling, it's really helpful to remember to go for the softer woods.
329
Aside from cost, there are still lots of different factors that are important in choosing the best flooring for the job.
330
Continuing with the example of wood, one must consider the effects of each type of wood on the mood of the room.
331
When selecting the best wood to use, particular attention needs to be paid to its grain patterns, texture and colour.
332
In rooms where relaxation or deep thought is the aim, say bedrooms or the study, dark, strong-grained woods are the rule.
333
Here, the grain ought to match the furniture for a feeling of homogeneity.
334
In rooms where activity and motion are typical, the dining room or living room, lighter, finer-grained lumber is more suitable.
335
In such a setting, the wood grain might be useful in offering a contrast to the furniture.
336
This leads to a feel of subconscious excitement in keeping with the room's function.
337
In either case though, consult a decorator.
338
It is a decorator's job to know what materials to use to fit the function of the room.
339
Though some things about putting together a room are subjective and based on one's individual taste,
340
materials appropriate to a room's function are much more straightforward.
341
A decorator takes the needs of the customer and uses a mathematical formula rather than subjective words.
342
Since feelings vary from person to person, verbal descriptions of wood types tend to be ambiguous.
343
You want the wood you select, not something approximate.
344
And if you do decide to do it yourself, remember that all wood must be treated with preservatives to enhance its appearance and preserve its natural beauty.
345
In the case of stone or quarry tile, as flat cut flooring stone is properly called, a new set of considerations must be weighed up.
346
Simple colour aside, the degree of reflection must be kept in mind.
347
This is called the reflectance rate, which is expressed in a number between 0.0 and 1.0, depending on the amount of light it reflects.
348
At one end of the scale is polished silver.
349
At a rating of 1.0, this shiny surface reflects nearly all of the light directed at it.
350
Numbers closer to zero describe materials that absorb more light.
351
Moving down the scale a bit, we see that plastic that has been painted white has a rate of 0.8, which makes sense.
352
We know that the colour white reflect all other colour, while black absorbs all colour, and plastic itself is a relatively reflective material.
353
material.
354
Materials that are denser and darker have reflectance rates much closer to zero.
355
The quarry tile I mentioned a while ago has a rate of 0.1.
356
As you may know, quarry tile is generally dark brown and made from clay, so it is quite dense.
357
Of course, there is considerable variation among types of quarry tile
358
because of the hue or treatment of the clay during its creation.
359
Does anyone have any guesses as to what material may have a rate of almost 0.0.
360
We can guess most of these materials are black in colour, but plastic, wood and even stone reflect some light.
361
One material with a rate of almost 0.0 is black velvet.
362
The texture produces almost no shine at all.
363
Carrera marble, despite its white hue, is actually lower in reflectivity than black onyx.
364
In any case, the fact that tiles vary somewhat should not be forgotten.
365
A highly reflective floor would not be suitable in a library.
366
It would be indispensable in a ballroom should your home be large enough to feature one.
367
Again, a rule of thumb is that light means lively.
368
Since form and material follow function, one should only use the more reflective materials in rooms where the cultivation and expression of energy is important.
369
Bear in mind too that most types of stone cost more than all but the rarest of wood.
370
Of course there is no reason why some rooms of a house should not feature wood floors or other stone tiles.
371
You can even mix the two.
372
A room with wood panels on the walls can have a beautiful stone floor.
373
My bedroom has white birch walls and a light blue slate floor.
374
The place looks like a Russian hunting lodge.
375
Remember though, go with what feels right for you.
376
Good taste and the laws of interior design are the homeowner's servants, not his master.
377
It's only beautiful when you decide it is.
378
I mean, you're the one who lives there, not the decorator, right?
379
OK, are there any questions?
380
That is the end of the listening test.
381
In the IELTS test, you will now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
382
Thank you.
383
Thank you.
384
Thank you.

この動画は誰におすすめ？
IELTSリスニングの実践テストを使った英語学習動画です。リスニング力向上だけでなく、英語スピーキング練習や英語シャドーイングにも最適です。中級レベル以上で、日常会話のリズムや自然な発音を身につけたい方、IELTS対策をしながら実用英語を磨きたい方にぴったりです。
覚えておきたいフレーズとイディオム
会話の中には使える表現がたくさんあります。“up in the air”は「未定で不安」という意味で、“relocating to”は「～に引っ越す」というフォーマルな表現です。“having a hard time getting organised”は「整理整頓ができず困っている」という日常的な表現で、シャドーイングで覚えると自然に使えるようになります。これらのフレーズはshadowspeaksやshadowing siteで練習すると効果的です。
発音のポイントをつかむ
この会話のスピーカーは自然なアクセントで話しています。特に「Jane Bond」のような名前の発音や、「9463 5550」の電話番号の読み方に注意しましょう。電話番号は数字を速く正確に言うことが重要で、シャドーイングを繰り返すことでリズムを覚えられます。また、「ma'am」のような省略形の発音も練習して、自然な会話の流れをつかみましょう。英語シャドーイングを続けることで、これらのポイントが徐々に身につきます。

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。
