Now turn to Section 3 on page 5.

Section 3.

You will hear a discussion between a student called Helen and her tutor about an assignment that Helen is working on.

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24 on page 5.

Thank you.

Come in Helen, how can I help you?

Well, I'm doing research for the anthropology assignment, and I was hoping to check a few details.

Sure.

You chose the topic of Pacific Island tupper cloth, didn't you?

What have you found out so far?

Well, I was going to introduce my assignment by saying that the tupper cloth is a fabric made from bark, just the outer layer of the trees.

It's particularly common in the Pacific Islands but not exclusive to them.

In fact, many other peoples around the world have made high-quality cloth from bark.

But what sets Pacific Tapa apart is the incredible variety of roles it's played in this region.

Yes, nice introduction, though I think you could be more specific regarding dates.

OK, so what about the raw materials used?

Well, tapa cloth is made from several species of tree.

In the Pacific, the paper mulberry tree is most common, but it doesn't thrive in all conditions.

In fact, it wasn't originally found in the islands, but was carried in their canoes by the first migrants.

Tapa is also made from the breadfruit tree, which is convenient because its fruit is a staple food.

The paper mulberry tree is only grown for tapa making, though.

Yes, that's good.

Now what about the Māori people here in New Zealand?

But the Māori don't make tapa now.

That's right, and you need to account for it.

We know that when Māori migrated here from the other Pacific Islands, they were prepared to make tapa because they brought the paper mulberry tree with them.

The thing was, after they'd been in New Zealand a bit, they found the flax plant, which is superior to tapa because it makes a stronger fabric.

By the time Europeans arrived in the 18th century, Māori were making all their fabric from flax and had been for some time.

Okay, so with the production process itself, first the inner bark is beaten with wooden hammers to soften the fibres.

Then the different pieces are glued together using an adhesive paste made from the arrowroot tuber.

This is the only way to fabricate large pieces of cloth

because bark strands are too fine to be woven together and stitching isn't strong enough

before you hear the rest of the discussion you have some

time to look at questions 25 to 30 on page 6

Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.

So now you need details about different countries.

Where would you start?

I think Samoa is the obvious place.

It's famous for its very fine cloth called Siapo, which is hand-painted with representations of the ancestors.

Still today, at the most profound events in life, such as births, funerals, weddings, and the investiture of chiefs,

Samoans wear Siapo robes to add significance and meaning to the ceremony.

OK.

Then I could talk about Tonga.

It seems to me that the great innovation in Tonga has been developing a simple, coarse cloth which is quick and easy to make.

This is suitable for all sorts of everyday functions around the house like bed covers, mosquito nets and curtains.

Good point.

Now, what about Cook Islands tapa?

Well, the soil there is poor quality, so the breadfruit tree is often used.

One type of thick cloth, called tikoru, was wrapped around the poles and used to mark the entrances to places of worship,

so it was highly regarded in local culture.

You might mention Fiji as well, which is interesting because tapa was actually used as a currency there.

Fijians used to sail between the islands and exchange tapa for other commodities like canoes or pigs.

I know that in Tahiti the tapa cloth is different because the patterns are in colour, which is considered more valuable than the usual brown patterns.

You're right about the Tahitians using coloured pigments, but they aren't more valuable.

The colours are only a decoration.

People enjoy wearing bright robes, especially for dancing and competitive games, and do it just for fun.

Oh, I'll make a note of that.

Well, the last place I was going to mention was Te Kopia.

Even today it's commonplace to see people wearing clothes made of tapa cloth.

In many of the other islands, the tapa only comes out on special occasions, but here you see people working in the gardens wearing tapa.

Sounds promising, Helen.

I'll look forward to reading your assignment.

That is the end of Section 3.

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

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。
