1
Now turn to part 4.
2
Questions 20 to 25.
3
Look at the six sentences for this part.
4
You will hear a conversation between a girl, Kate, and a boy, George.
5
Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect.
6
If it is correct, put a tick in the box under A for yes.
7
If it is not correct, put a tick in the box under B for no.
8
You now have 20 seconds to look at the questions for part 4.
9
Now we are ready to start.
10
Listen carefully.
11
You will hear the recording twice.
12
I don't remember much of that lecture.
13
The doctor gave me this medicine for my cough, but I don't like it.
14
It seems to make me awfully sleepy, and I can't follow my lectures.
15
Well, if you don't take it, none of us will be able to follow our lectures.
16
All we'll hear is you coughing.
17
Oh, dear.
18
Do you think I'll annoy everybody?
19
Yes.
20
You could study at home for a couple of days.
21
You know, have some time off until it gets better.
22
Oh, I couldn't do that.
23
I'd miss too much.
24
And I get really uncomfortable when I have a lot of catching up to do.
25
Last year I missed a whole week when I fell off my bike and had that enormous bandage on my hand.
26
It took me ages to do all the work when I came back.
27
Oh, you worry too much.
28
You can work at home.
29
Just get Mr Grey to tell you which parts of the course book we'll be covering and read it yourself at home.
30
All he does is go through the book anyway.
31
You might as well do it yourself.
32
Oh, that's a bit unfair.
33
I think Mr Grey's really nice.
34
He's always willing to stay behind after class if you don't understand something.
35
Being really nice and never in a hurry doesn't make him a good lecturer.
36
Anyway, I think you should look after your health first, and ours.
37
If we sit in that small, hot room with you for the next three days, we'll all have your cough by the end of it.
38
Perhaps you're right.
39
I don't care about myself, but I wouldn't like other people to blame me for their illnesses.
40
I have got a bit of a temperature now, too.
41
So maybe I'll go and see Mr Grey after lunch and tell him I won't be at this afternoon's lecture.
42
Or the next two.
43
Come on, you've got to get better.
44
I suppose you're right.
45
Then we can all go out as we planned at the weekend.
46
OK, then.
47
I don't want to miss that.
48
And I do feel ill.
49
Now listen again.
50
I don't remember much of that lecture.
51
The doctor gave me this medicine for my cough, but I don't like it.
52
It seems to make me awfully sleepy, and I can't follow my lectures.

55

57
Yes.

60

61

86
And I do feel ill.
87
That is the end of part four.
88
You now have six minutes to check and copy your answers onto the answer sheet.
89
That is the end of the test.

この動画は誰におすすめ?

PET試験のリスニング対策をしている方や、日常会話の理解力を上げたい中級レベルの学習者にぴったりです。KateとGeorgeの自然な会話を通して、「病気の時の配慮」「授業のキャッチアップ」など実用的な場面の表現を学べます。YouTubeで英語学習をするなら、こういうリアルな会話を聞くことで、実践的な英語力が身につきます。

覚えておきたいフレーズとイディオム

  • awfully sleepy:とても眠い。"awfully"は「とても」という強調表現で、日常会話でよく使われます。
  • catching up to do:取り戻すべきこと。「授業のキャッチアップ」という意味で、学生向けの表現として便利です。
  • stay behind after class:放課後に残る。先生に質問する時などに使えます。
  • look after your health:健康を大切にする。他人に配慮する場面でよく出てきます。

発音を磨くポイント

英語の発音を良くするには、リズムとイントネーションに注目しましょう。この会話では、"I don't remember much of that lecture"のように、否定形の"don't"が軽く発音されています。また、"awfully sleepy"の"sleepy"は母音を伸ばさず、自然に発音することがポイントです。shadowing siteやshadowspeakのような方法で、会話を繰り返し聞きながら真似すると、発音がスムーズになります。特に、Kateの「I suppose you're right」のような柔らかいイントネーションを真似ると、自然な会話ができるようになります。

shadow speakの練習には、動画を1文ずつ止めて、即座に繰り返す方法が効果的です。この会話はスピードが適度で、日常的なトピックなので、初心者から中級者まで楽しく練習できます。YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、こうした実践的な方法を取り入れると、効率的に上達できます。

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。
