レッスンを作成中...
1
The TOEIC listening test has four parts.
2
As in the reading section, each part gets a little bit more challenging as you progress.
3
So make sure that you start strong and focused.
4
Let's start with listening part one, photographs.
5
Before we look at the instructions and the task, be sure to hit that subscribe button and be the first to know about brand new TOEIC videos.
6
Alright, let's get right into it.
7
First, you're going to see a picture like this one here.
8
The main thing you'll do is think about what you see.
9
In this case, we have a woman sitting at a desk.
10
So ask yourself, where is she?
11
What is she doing?
12
How does she feel?
13
Don't worry about trying to anticipate what is happening exactly, or trying to get the answer perfectly correct.
14
You just want to get your brain moving and engaged.
15
Don't wait for the correct answers.
16
Next, you're going to hear for answer options.
17
In this case, you won't see them, you'll only hear them before we listen.
18
Here are a few things to note.
19
First of all, the sentences will be fairly simple.
20
They'll often use the present continuous tense.
21
The boy is sleeping, they are playing.
22
Also, some of the questions will require you to make some inferences.
23
This means it won't always be very obvious.
24
Imagine you see a little girl playing video games, and their mother is standing behind her with an unhappy look on her face.
25
An easy version might be the girl is playing video games.
26
But a harder one might be the mother is losing her patience.
27
This is why it's important to ask yourself those questions.
28
Who are they?
29
What are they doing?
30
Where are they?
31
And how do they feel?
32
Okay, so let's go back to our photo and we'll hear the four answer options.
33
Sadly, you won't see them.
34
It is a listening test after all.
35
Let's listen together, pick the answer you think is correct.
36
Look at the picture.
37
A.
38
The woman is cleaning the office.
39
B.
40
The woman is having lunch.
41
c the woman is taking a break?
42
B.
43
The woman is cleaning her glasses.
44
How did you go?
45
Let's have another listen.
46
In the test you will only hear it once.
47
But anytime you struggle with one of these questions, don't feel bad if you have to listen again.
48
It's good practice and it will improve your listening.
49
Look at the picture.
50
is cleaning her glasses.
51
Great.
52
So the answer is C.
53
Now, keep in mind there's minimal method to this one.
54
Either you hear it or you don't.
55
But let's take a look at the answer options so that we can better understand this test.
56
A and B.
57
So definitely not cleaning the office and definitely not having lunch.
58
There is no food.
59
For C and D, C is a maybe.
60
She's clearly stopped doing whatever it is she's doing.
61
But D, the woman is cleaning her glasses.
62
Well, not quite.
63
She's taken her glasses off, but she doesn't seem to be cleaning them.
64
So I'll go with C.
65
She stopped working.
66
So she's taking a break.
67
Now, keep in mind, if you're able to understand me now, then you should be able to understand the language used in this part of the test.
68
If you want to strengthen your listening skills, be sure to build strong listening habits.

このレッスンについて

このレッスンでは、TOEICリスニングテストのパート1である写真に関する問題に焦点を当てます。学習者は、特定の写真を見て、そこに写っている人物や状況を理解するためのスキルを磨くことができます。また、リスニング力を向上させるための実践的なアドバイスも提供します。最終的には、リスニング力を強化し、英語の発音を良くする手助けをします。

実践的なアドバイス

この動画のスピードやトーンに合わせて練習するためには、まず注意深くリスニングを行い、内容を理解することが重要です。シャドーイングを行う際は、リスニングテストで聞く文を繰り返し声に出しながら練習することをお勧めします。特に、shadowspeakを活用することで、より自然な発音やリズムを習得できます。ゆっくりとしたスピードから始め、慣れてきたら徐々に速いスピードで行うと効果的です。

また、実際のTOEICのリスニング問題を使用して練習することで、リアルな試験環境に慣れることができます。問題を聞く際は、一度で理解できなかった場合には繰り返して聞くことを恐れないでください。このプロセスはリスニング力を高め、英語シャドーイングのスキルを更に向上させるでしょう。

効果的な方法の一つに、英語の発音を良くするためのシャドーイングが含まれます。特に、繰り返し練習することで、リスニングとスピーキングの両方の能力を同時に向上させることができるため、自信を持って英語を話せるようになるでしょう。

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。
