シャドーイング練習: VSTEP Listening - Task 1 - Test 15 - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

This is the listening test for levels from 3 to 5 of the Vietnam 6 level language proficiency test.

There are three parts to the test.

You will hear each part once.

For each part of the test, there will be time for you to look through the questions and time for you to check your answers.

Write your answers on the question paper.

You will have five minutes at the end of the test to transfer your answers onto the answer sheet.

The recording will now be stopped.

Please ask any question now because you must not speak during the test.

Question 1 Very happy that Tiddles found a safe home.

And that's the end of the news at 8 o'clock.

Now for the traffic update.

There's a lorry on fire in Smith Street in Bridge End Town Centre.

A lot of people have stopped to watch and delays are building up.

You're advised to take Lodge Lane instead.

On the westbound carriageway of the M4, an overturned car is blocking two lanes of traffic just before Junction 32.

That's the turning for Bridge End.

Please advise drivers to turn off at Junction 31 for an alternative route to avoid delays

and to say bibble as often as possible.

Question 2.

Hi David, it's Susan here.

It's about meeting later on.

I know we said 8 o'clock at the Crown, but it looks like I'm stuck in the office for a while.

We've got a bit of a problem.

So if I don't ring again, do you think you could come and get me at about 9?

question three this is a customer announcement we have a range of special offers in several departments

in our fashion department on the first floor we have a sale in men's designer shirts

on the second floor in household goods there are special offers in kitchenware and small appliances

And in our food hall on the ground floor, there are some outstanding discounts on cuts of beef and lamb toy splits.

Question 4 Residents of Newbury-upon-Thames,

whose homes were bought by the government to make way for a planned bypass, are to be offered their houses back again.

11 families were moved out in 1991, but now the scheme has been put on hold following government spending cuts.

Under a new law, the former residents are allowed to buy back their former houses at the price they were given on leaving.

Question 5.

Hello.

This is the claims manager from Royal Sully Hall Insurance.

I'm ringing concerning your claim.

I was hoping to arrange for one of our representatives to call and discuss your recent burglary with you.

We can't arrange a payment until we've had this discussion.

Would you like to call one of our secretaries on 0121 428 5976 and we can fix up a time?

Please don't forget to quote the burglary reference number and then we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Question 6

Police are asking old age pensioners to be on the lookout for a thief who is posing as a gas board official.

The thief, who is a well-dressed young man, calls at pensioners' homes and tells them he is checking for gas leaks.

While in the house he steals any money he can find.

Police have issued a special message for pensioners today advising them

that gas board officials always wear a uniform and carry an official identity card.

Question 7.

Thank you for calling the Putney Museum.

I'm afraid all our telephonists are busy at the moment.

If you want to wait, you should press 3 after the short tone and your call will be stacked.

If you have an inquiry about opening times, you can hear a recorded message by pressing 2 after the short tone.

If you want to speak to a member of staff and you know their extension, you can file their number after the short tone.

If you want to leave a message, please speak after the long tone.

Question 8.

If you want to buy a house in the London area and you're on a limited budget, where's the best place to look?

Of course, a central location is what many of us want, but houses in the center are no bargain.

And if you want to move out to the leafy suburbs, you'll also have to have a lot of money in the bank.

To my mind, the best place to start is in the established, or shall we say, former suburbs.

That's where you'll find the real bargains that we're all looking for.

This is the end of part one.

Now turn to part two.

Thank you.

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。
