Questions 20: to 25.

Look at the six sentences for this part.

You will hear a conversation between a boy, Marcus, and a girl, Catherine, about their homework.
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 four.
9
Now we are ready to start.
10
Listen carefully.
11
You will hear the recording twice.
12
I feel awful.
13
I've got two lots of homework to do today, and all I want to do after school is relax.
14
It's not fair.
15
Of course you've got a lot.
16
You didn't do any yesterday, did you?
17
No, I didn't.
18
I had football practice, and after that I was just too tired for anything else.
19
Well, maybe you could do more homework at the weekends, so you have time for football and other things during the week.
20
go out with my family.
21
On Sunday we went to the Science Museum.
22
It was great.
23
I wouldn't want to miss doing things like that just because I've got homework.
24
Actually, you're quite lucky.
25
I never do anything like that.
26
Homework isn't everything.
27
I'm sure you learnt just as much there.
28
Yes, but I don't suppose the teachers will be interested in that.
29
I've got today's maths to do, and I expect it'll take me hours.
30
I tell you what, you can come round to my house this afternoon and we'll work on it together.
31
I don't know.
32
You're really good at maths.
33
You'll just finish it quickly and I can't do that.
34
It's not a competition, is it?
35
It's more important that we both finish it, and working together will be much more fun.
36
But if I don't do it by myself, I could be in trouble with the teacher.
37
Well, we'll tell her you're finding it difficult, and so I'm going to try and help you understand it.
38
I'm sure she won't mind that.
39
Alright then.
40
Thank you.
41
Perhaps I'll feel better about maths if you help me.
42
'At the moment, I still don't know where to begin.' Don't worry.
43
We'll get there.
44
Now listen again.

この動画は誰に向いているの？
B1レベルでPETリスニング対策をしたい学习者、特に日常会話の理解力とスピーキング力を向上させたい人に最適です。IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つ、自然な会話のリズムややり取りを学べます。宿題や放課後の予定など、身近なトピックを使ったダイアログなので、シャドーイングの素材としても理想的です。
覚えておきたいフレーズとイディオム
- feel awful：「とても嫌な気分」や「ひどい気分」。日常的な不満や疲れを表す時に使えます。
- It's not fair：「不公平だ」。子どもから大人まで幅広く使われる、不満を訴えるフレーズ。
- get there：「なんとかなる」「うまくいく」。困難な状況で励ましたり、自信を持って言う時に使います。
これらのフレーズは会話を自然にし、ネイティブらしい表現力を養うのに役立ちます。
アクセントと発音のコツ
このダイアログの発音のポイントは、弱読みとイントネーションです。例えば「I've got two lots of homework」の「of」は弱く発音され、「a lot of」の「of」も同様です。シャドーイング（shadowspeak, shadow speak, shadow speech）の練習時には、この弱読みを真似ることで自然なリズムを身につけられます。また、「It's not fair」の「fair」は上昇調ではなく下降調で発音し、不満の感情を表します。IELTS スピーキング対策では、こうした細かな発音のニュアンスがスコアアップに繋がります。
繰り返しシャドーイングを行い、ネイティブの発音に近づけることで、スピーキングの流れと自然さが向上します。
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。
