At the start of each piece, you'll hear this sound.

Oh You'll hear each piece twice.
5
Remember?

While you're listening, Write your answers on the question paper.

You'll have five minutes at the end of the test to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.

There will now be a pause.

Now open your question paper and look at part one.
11
You will hear people talking in eight different situations.
12
For questions 1 to 8, choose the best answer, A, B or C.
13
Question 1.
14
You hear a young actor talking about a colleague.
15
Just watching her work is very useful.
16
I've only been acting for about a year, so I've got so much to learn.
17
When you meet someone who's as famous as she is, there's always a bit of nerves.
18
She's an intelligent actor and everything she does seems so effortless.
19
As I've got such a small part in the drama, I get to stand around a lot during the scenes, and it means I can watch and learn from her.
20
She's very composed when she's acting.
21
She takes her time to say her lines.

Just watching her work is very useful.

Question 2.
30
You hear two friends talking about a colleague.
31
I don't know how he does it.
32
He gets into the office before everyone else in the morning and he's also always the last to leave.
33
He must be exhausted all the time.
34
He seems pretty fit though and whenever I see him at the weekends he looks relaxed and happy.
35
Maybe he just likes getting everything done before he goes home.
36
Yeah, maybe you're right.
37
But he earns just the same as we do, and that's not much.
38
It's not too bad, though, is it?
39
And I think he'll be promoted before any of the rest of us are.
40
He's obviously very keen.
41
There's no denying that.
42
Oh I don't know how he does it.
43
He gets into the office before everyone else in the morning and he's also always the last to leave.

53
Question 3.
54
You hear an author talking about his new book.
55
Oh Thanks for inviting me to come on the program and talk about my new book.
56
I thought the book might never happen when I was sitting at my desk day after day.
57
I wish the words would simply flow out like they did when I was writing my other books.
58
Sometimes I wondered if I'd ever get it finished.
59
Of course, I know it's unlikely to become a bestseller, but I hope that my loyal readers will enjoy it.
60
They'll recognize some of the characters from my first novel.
61
Older and wiser, at least in some cases.

68
Question four.
69
You hear two friends talking about something they saw on TV.
70
Oh It's funny really, but I just didn't get it.
71
Everyone was talking about it, but I just thought it was silly.
72
You mean you wanted more information?
73
Exactly.
74
I mean, what's the point of something like that?
75
It didn't even make me laugh.
76
Oh, come on.
77
You have to admit, it was pretty funny.
78
Well, I didn't think so.
79
And it was annoying the way everybody whistled the tune all the time.
80
Why on earth would that make me buy something?
81
I think you're too serious sometimes.
82
It was just a bit of fun.
83
If you want to find out more, then look on the internet.
84
Oh It's funny really, but I just didn't get it.

Question 5.
99
You hear an office manager talking about her work.
100
Oh You know how it is.
101
As soon as you've finished one project, you have to get started on something else, and it's often something completely different.
102
I don't find that a problem, though, and I enjoy the fact that I can get it done effectively.
103
After all, I've been in this job for a long time, so I think I can say I know what I'm doing.
104
I wish that was true of the people I'm working with.
105
I reckon if I didn't keep checking, they'd never get on with things.
106
Though I guess I'm not feeling very motivated about this project either.
107
You know how it is.

Question 6.
115
You overhear two friends talking in a restaurant.
116
Mmm, delicious soup!
117
You think so?
118
It's a bit hot, isn't it?
119
What do you mean hot?
120
Too many spices or the temperature?
121
It burned my mouth.
122
Well, you should have had something else.
123
There was plenty to choose from.
124
There may have been for you, but don't forget, I'm a vegetarian.
125
There wasn't much there for me.
126
But at least we haven't paid a fortune for it.
127
Mmm, I couldn't even make it at home for that price.
128
But I still think we should go somewhere else next time.
129
Mmm, delicious soup!
130
You think so?

142
Question 7.
143
You hear a woman talking about her neighbour's holiday photographs.
144
Oh They always invite us round for dinner after they've been on holiday and show us all the photos they've taken.
145
I didn't like the dinner much, but of course I didn't say anything.
146
They go to some interesting places, and they actually do pretty well considering they don't have expensive equipment or any training as photographers.
147
I wish I could remember the name of the place they went to this summer.
148
'Mmm, that's really annoying.
149
I should have written it down.' I'll have to ask them next time I see them.
150

156
Question 8.
157
You hear two friends talking about a concert they've just been to.
158
Oh.
159
I really enjoyed that, didn't you?
160
Despite the technical problems at the beginning.
161
Wonderful!
162
Spanish flamenco music just makes you want to get up and dance.
163
I noticed you standing up at one stage.
164
Yeah, but that was to get a better view.
165
Ah, yes.
166
Pity we were at the back.
167
But it was all that was available when I bought the tickets on Friday.
168
I know, but next time we must book earlier.
169
It was very hot in there.
170
Did that bother you?
171
I just kept thinking it was like summer in Spain.
172
and then the rhythm of the sticks they beat on the floor.
173
Me too.
174
I really enjoyed that, didn't you?
175
Despite the technical problems at the beginning.
176
Wonderful!

おすすめ動画
この動画は誰におすすめ?
この動画はB2レベルの英語学習者、特にFCEやIELTS スピーキング対策を目指す人に最適です。日常的な会話や職場の場面を扱っており、YouTubeで英語学習をしながらリスニングとスピーキングのスキルを磨きたい人にぴったりです。短い会話形式なので、shadowspeaks(シャドーイング)の練習にも適しています。
覚えておきたいフレーズとイディオム
会話の中から実用的な表現をピックアップします。
- effortless:努力が見えない、自然な。「彼女の演技はeffortlessだ」と使います。
- composed:落ち着いた、冷静な。「演技中は非常にcomposed」と表現します。
- there's no denying that:否定できない。「彼は熱心だ、there's no denying that」のように使います。
アクセントと発音のコツ
この動画の発音をマスターするには、以下のポイントに注意しましょう。
- リズム:会話が自然な流れで進むので、英語シャドーイングをする際は発話の速さとポーズを真似ることが重要です。特に「he gets into the office before everyone else」のような長い文では、語句の区切りを確認しましょう。
- 弱読み:「as」「is」「it」などの単語が弱く発音される場合があります。「she's as famous as she is」の「as」は軽く発音し、アクセントを「famous」に置きます。
- イントネーション:疑問文では上がるイントネーション、陳述文では下がるイントネーションが多いです。「Maybe he just likes getting everything done before he goes home?」のような文では、最後に軽く上げることで疑問のニュアンスを表します。
これらのポイントを押さえて英語スピーキング練習を続けると、自然な発音と流暢さが身につきます。YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、繰り返しシャドーイングを行い、自分の発音を録音して比較することも効果的です。

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。
