Hi, this is IELTS, IELTS.com, Lesson 195.
2
I just want to thank you all for leaving a like and share on this work.
3
This podcast has an average of 4.9 stars out of 5 on iTunes, and I'm so grateful for the feedback and appreciative comments people have been leaving.
4
Remember that the training continues at IELTS, IELTS.com, where we're slowly inching our way towards 200 lessons.
5
It's very exciting and I'm glad you're along for the ride with me.
6
Alright, this week we are looking at an IELTS Speaking Part 2 cue card
7
that asks you to speak about a time when you did something difficult.
8
I'll read the cue card to you now.
9
Describe an occasion when you had to do something difficult.
10
You should say what it was, why it was difficult, how you handled the situation, and explain what you learned from it.
11
Alright, first thing, let's listen to the sample so you can hear the model spoken naturally.
12
Here it is.
13
We will now start part two of the exam.
14
Here is your cue card.
15
Start speaking now, please.
16
Well, as I mentioned before, I work as an electrician.
17
One particularly difficult experience I had was
18
when I had to rewire an entire house by myself due to an unexpected staffing issue.
19
Initially, I was supposed to work with a team, but at the last minute my colleagues were urgently reassigned to another job.
20
That left me responsible for completing the work on my own.
21
The task was challenging because the house was quite old.
22
This meant the existing wiring was outdated and not up to modern safety standards.
23
I had to carefully remove the old wiring and then ensure that the new system I was installing met all safety regulations.
24
Because I was working alone, I also had to manage every aspect of the job, planning the layout, installing the cables,
25
and dealing with any unexpected issues that arose.
26
To handle the situation, I broke the project down into smaller tasks
27
and set clear goals for each day to ensure steady progress.
28
I also double-checked every connection and used my experience to anticipate potential problems.
29
In moments of doubt, I called a senior electrician for quick advice, which gave me reassurance and kept me on track.
30
In the end, I successfully completed the job on time with everything up to standard.
31
This experience taught me a lot about problem-solving and time management.
32
I also learned that in high-pressure situations, staying calm and methodical is the key to overcoming challenges.
33
Thank you.
34
Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise.
35
In this week's free sample exercise, you will repeat the first few sentences from the model.
36
I'll read this section of the response again to you now, just to refresh your memory.
37
So the candidate starts by saying, well, as I mentioned before, I work as an electrician.
38
One particularly difficult experience I had was
39
when I had to rewire an entire house by myself due to an unexpected staffing issue.
40
Initially, I was supposed to work with a team, but at the last minute my colleagues were urgently reassigned to another job.
41
That left me responsible for completing the work on my own.
42
Okay, let's go ahead and start this week's speech shadowing exercise.
43
If this is your first time doing a speech shadowing exercise, remember you should be speaking aloud as you listen.
44
So you will first hear a portion of the sample
45
and then you will be given a pause within which to repeat what you have heard.
46
And the point of the exercise is to try to adjust your pronunciation to sound as much like the model as possible.
47
Remember that at IELTS, IELTS.com, just 25 US dollars per month gives you access to the full library,
48
where you can train uninterrupted with almost 200 full speech shadowing lessons.
49
Okay, here's this week's speech shadowing exercise.

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。
