쉐도잉 연습: Cambridge 19 Listening Test 3 with Answers | IELTS Practice Test 2026 - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.

There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.

All the recordings will be played once only.

The test is in four parts.

At the end of the test, you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

Now turn to part one.

Part one.

You will hear two neighbours who live in an apartment block talking about shopping for food.

First you have some time to look at questions one to six.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.

Hi Shannon, how are you settling into your new flat?

Really well, thanks.

You look like you're going shopping.

Yes, I am.

My cousins are coming to stay for a couple of days and I have to cook for them.

Well, there are plenty of places to buy food in Kite Place.

It's the area by the harbour.

Oh, OK.

I'll find that on the map.

Thanks.

What sort of food do you need to get?

Well, neither of them eats meat, but they both like fish.

Well, there's a really good fish market there.

Oh great!

Where is it exactly?

It's at the far end of Kite Place.

So you have to go over the bridge, and then it's on the right.

OK.

Is it open all day?

It doesn't close until four, but I'd recommend going earlier than that.

It does run out of some things.

Oh, I don't want that to happen.

As long as you get there by 3.30, you should be fine.

It's only 11 now, so plenty of time.

Right.

Do you need to buy vegetables too?

I do, and I want to avoid all the plastic packaging in the supermarket.

Well, there's a really nice organic shop there.

Now, what's it called?

It's the name of a flower.

I know, it's Rose.

Oh, that's a nice name.

Yeah, it sells vegetables and quite a lot of other stuff.

And where's that?

Well, as you reach the market, you'll see a big grey building on your left.

I think it used to be a warehouse.

Anyway, now it's a restaurant upstairs, but the ground floor has two shops either side of the entrance, and it's the one on the left.

That's easy enough.

You can't miss it.

There's also a big sign on the pavement, so you can look for that.

Fine.

I guess if I need anything else, I'll have to go to the supermarket.

Yeah, you should be able to get everything you need.

And there's a minibus that goes to the supermarket if you need it.

It's purple, and the number is 289.

Thanks.

That's great.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.

Now listen and answer questions seven to ten.

So, what do you need to get at the fish market?

The salmon is always very good, and the shellfish.

I'm going to make a curry, I think, and I need about twelve prawns for that.

They'll have plenty of those.

OK.

Have you ever tried samphire?

No. What's that?

It's a type of seaweed.

Oh.

I just ask for a handful, and you fry it in butter.

It's delicious.

Oh, I might try that.

How do you spell it?

It's S-A-M-P-H-I-R-E.

Great.

It's always good to try something different.

Yeah.

I'll see what beans they have in the organic shop, and I think I'll get something for dessert there.

How about a mango?

I'm not sure.

They're not always ripe.

I'd prefer a melon.

It's bigger too.

Good idea.

The owner also sells a lot of spices there that you can put in a curry and things like coconut.

Oh, that's very helpful.

I'll have a look.

No problem.

I know bread doesn't really go with curry, but I always like to have some in case.

As I said, all the bread is homemade and there's lots of variety.

I like the brown bread myself.

Mmm, sounds good.

They sell other things there too.

Like cakes?

I love chocolate cake.

Well, not that.

But they have a whole range of tarts.

And the best are the strawberry ones.

Perfect.

Hopefully I won't even have to go to the supermarket.

100

That is the end of part one.

101

You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

102

Part 2 You will hear the organiser of a children's book festival giving some information about it on a local radio program.

103

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.

104

Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to sixteen.

105

The Children's Book Festival is coming up again soon, and here to tell us all about it is the festival's organiser, Jenny Morgan.

106

So tell us what we can expect this year, Jenny.

107

Well, as usual, we've got five days of action-packed,

108

exciting events for children, with writers coming from all over the country getting involved.

109

Just to give you an idea of what's on offer in the workshops, first of all, there's a very special event called Super Heroes.

110

This is a chance for deaf children to share their reading experiences with author Madeleine Gordon who is herself hearing impaired.

111

Just Do It is a practical workshop led by the well-known illustrator Mark Keane.

112

He'll take participants on a magical journey to faraway lands with an opportunity for aspiring actors to do some role play.

113

Count On Me is an inspiring and entertaining look at the issues of friendship for 13 to 14 year olds.

114

It looks at some of the friendships described in popular books and asks participants to compare these with their own experiences.

115

Speak Up is part of a series of workshops on the subject of mental health.

116

This is a creative writing workshop encouraging children to describe situations where young people experience loneliness.

117

A recent survey revealed that children can be lonely even

118

when they're at home with their families jump for joy as

119

many of you will know is the heartwarming best-selling story by

120

nina karen about a young girl's trip to visit her relatives

121

in india it recently received the gold medal at the waterford

122

awards nina will get children to celebrate the word joy by writing a poem

123

sticks

124

and stones is the beautifully illustrated picture book for young readers

125

about a community who organise an African Caribbean festival to help local children learn about their Jamaican roots.

126

This will be a musical event where children will have the chance to play steel drums.

127

This is bound to be very popular, so please book as soon as possible.

128

Before you hear the rest of the programme, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.

129

Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.

130

Thanks, Jenny.

131

That all sounds really interesting.

132

I'm just wondering if you have a favourite book you could recommend for our readers?

133

It's hard to choose, but Alive and Kicking is definitely worth mentioning.

134

You won't have heard of the writer as it's her first book, which is really impressive.

135

It's basically the teenage diary of a boy from Somalia who comes to live in the UK.

136

It deals with the serious issue of immigration and all the challenges the boy has to face at school

137

and with the language barrier, etc. Usually, books like this are quite sad, but this one actually made me cry with laughter.

138

On each page, there are simple but hilarious black-and-white stick drawings of the boy with his friends and teachers.

139

At the end of each diary entry, there are new English words the boy learns each day, which may help develop some children's vocabulary.

140

I think my kids would enjoy that.

141

What about any advice for parents on how to encourage their children to read more?

142

Well, this is something I get asked about a lot.

143

There are so many distractions for kids these days that it can be hard to find time for reading.

144

One thing I'd say is to make time to sit down with your child and share books with them.

145

A lot of parents give up reading aloud to their children as soon as they learn to read independently, but this is a mistake.

146

It's good to read more advanced books to them as it helps to develop their vocabulary.

147

If you don't have time for this, then let them listen to audiobooks.

148

Often they'll want to read books they've listened to for themselves.

149

I think it's a good idea to make a mental note of the type of books your child is reading.

150

Often they just read the same genre all the time, which can get a bit boring.

151

You can introduce new authors and genres to them.

152

should be able to help you with this?

153

Well Jenny I think that's really useful.

154

That is the end of part two.

155

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.

156

Part three.

157

You will hear a trainee science teacher called Claire talking about her practical teaching work to another trainee called Jake.

158

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.

159

Thank you.

160

Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.

161

Hi Jake, how are you getting on with the practical teaching?

162

It's harder than I expected, but I've got some great classes.

163

How about you?

164

Not brilliant.

165

I'm really struggling with my year 12 science class.

166

Are they hard to control?

167

Well, I don't have discipline problems as such.

168

It's just that they don't seem to think that science has anything to do with their lives.

169

It's depressing.

170

They listen to what I say and I gave them a test last week

171

and the results weren't too bad But there's no real engagement

172

Right

173

And as part of my teaching practice I have to design

174

an experiment for them to do I was wondering about something on the children's diets You know,

175

asking them to record what they eat and maybe linking it to their state of health Hmm,

176

let's think So your methodology would involve the children recording what they eat,

177

okay, but you'd also need to have access to the children's medical records, and I don't think people would be happy about that.

178

Confidentiality would be an issue.

179

If you could get the right data, the conclusions might be significant, but I suspect it's not going to be easy.

180

Right.

181

Have you thought about doing an experiment using animals?

182

Wouldn't that be upsetting for the children?

183

Well, the animals don't have to be harmed in any way.

184

It could just be an experiment where they're given a certain diet and the effects are observed.

185

Would I have to get permission to use these animals?

186

Yes.

187

You'd have to submit an outline of the experiment and fill in a form, but it's quite straightforward.

188

But if we found out that, say, a particular diet affects the health of animals, the same thing wouldn't necessarily be true for people, would it?

189

No, that's true.

190

But the findings for any experiment are going to be limited.

191

It's inevitable.

192

I suppose so.

193

So what animals could I use to investigate the effects of diet?

194

Mice?

195

Yes.

196

You'd need experimental mice, ones that have been specially bred for experiments.

197

OK, so what will your experiment be investigating exactly?

198

Well, something to do with nutrition.

199

So maybe we could look at food supplements, things like extra iron and extra protein, and their impact on health.

200

That might be rather broad.

201

Maybe just look at the effects of one supplement, like sugar, on the health of the mice?

202

In fact, maybe the focus could be on whether mice can control their own diet.

203

So what happens when they have access to more sugar that they don't really need?

204

Exactly.

205

Do they eat it or do they decide to leave it?

206

Great.

207

Then later on you could do a follow-up experiment adding another variable.

208

Like you could give some of the mice the chance to be more active, running on a wheel or something, and the others just sit around and don't do much.

209

Or I could repeat the experiment but change the type of food I provided or use mice with a different genetic structure.

210

But I think your idea would be more interesting.

211

I might think about that some more.

212

Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.

213

Thank you.

214

So, can I talk through a possible procedure for the experiment where mice are given a sugar supplement?

215

Sure.

216

I did a similar experiment in college, actually.

217

Great.

218

So, how many mice would I need?

219

I'd say about 12, and all young ones, not a mixture of old and young.

220

Okay.

221

And I'd need two groups of equal sizes, so six in each group.

222

And how would I tell them apart?

223

I suppose I could put some sort of tag on one group or just mark them in some way.

224

You could use food colouring.

225

That wouldn't hurt them.

226

Perfect.

227

Then each group would go into a separate cage and one group, let's call them group A, would be the control group.

228

So they'd just have ordinary mouse food.

229

I suppose you can buy that?

230

Yes, it comes in dry pellets.

231

And the other group would have the same as the first group, but they'd also have the extra sugar.

232

Would you just give them straight sugar?

233

It might be better to give them something like cereal with it.

234

Hmm.

235

Then you'd need to weigh the mice, I should think, once a week.

236

And you'd need an electronic balance.

237

But we can't hold them on the balance or it'd affect the reading.

238

Exactly.

239

So you need something called a weighing chamber to stop the mice from running away.

240

It sounds complicated, but actually you can just use a plastic box with holes in the top.

241

OK.

242

So once we've measured the weight gain of each mouse, we can work out the average for each group, as well as the standard deviation, and then see where we go from there.

243

That sounds cool.

244

I think the students will enjoy it.

245

Yes.

246

One thing you must remember...

247

That is the end of part three.

248

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.

249

Part 4.

250

You will hear part of an environmental science lecture about microplastics.

251

First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.

252

Thank you. to 40.

253

In today's lecture I'm going to be talking about microplastics.

254

Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic smaller than 5 mm in size.

255

Recently, there's been a greater awareness that there are large quantities of plastic waste big and small in the environment.

256

The amount of plastic waste in the oceans has received widespread attention,

257

but far less is known about the effects of microplastics in freshwater and particularly in soil.

258

Microplastics can enter the environment via a number of different sources.

259

Threads and microfibres detach from synthetic clothing every time they're put in a washing machine,

260

and these find their way into the water system.

261

Other sources include big pieces of plastic waste that are already in the environment,

262

and these break down into microscopic particles over a period of time.

263

On a larger scale, factory waste is another route, as are tyres, which wear down as cars,

264

lorries and so on, travel along road surfaces.

265

We already understand some of the impacts of microplastics from studies involving fish and other animals.

266

There is evidence that microplastics harm small creatures in a variety of ways,

267

such as by damaging their mouths or by impairing their ability to feed,

268

for example when microplastics get lodged in their digestive system.

269

Surprisingly, perhaps, it is likely that humans consume microplastics, as these have been detected in a wide range of food and drink products,

270

including bottled water, as well as in water that comes direct from the tap.

271

What's more, salt and many kinds of seafood have also been found to contain microplastics.

272

However, it's important to underline that there is not yet conclusive proof that microplastics cause significant harm to people.

273

In many countries, including here in the UK,

274

there is legislation which prevents manufacturers from adding plastic microbeads to shower gels,

275

facial cleansers and toothpaste.

276

It is very difficult to accurately estimate the total amount of

277

microplastic particles in the soil as they can be hard to detect,

278

but we do know they are carried in the air and deposited in the soil by rain.

279

What's more, many of the fertilisers used by both farmers and gardeners contain microplastics.

280

A team from the Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge has carried

281

out a study of the effects of microplastics on the digestive tracts of earthworms.

282

These worms, which live in topsoil, are an essential component of our agricultural system.

283

By feeding on soil, they mix nutrients into it, thereby making it more fertile.

284

The researchers set out to discover whether the introduction of microplastics into the soil

285

and the subsequent ingestion of these by earthworms would impact soil quality and ultimately inhibit plant growth.

286

The short answer was yes, it did.

287

After placing three different types of microplastic particles into the soil, they planted perennial ryegrass.

288

The particles of microplastic, which included biodegradable PLA and conventional high-density polyethylene,

289

or HDPE, were then ingested by the earthworms in the soil.

290

The result was that the worms lost weight rapidly.

291

What's more, a lower percentage than normal of the ryegrass seeds germinated, and the The researchers concluded

292

that this was a direct result of the earthworms being unable to fulfil their normal role in making soil more fertile.

293

The team also discovered that there was an increase in the amount of acid found in the soil,

294

and this was attributed mainly to the microplastic particles from conventional HTPE plastic.

295

The conclusions of the study make for very interesting reading.

296

I've included the reference in the notes to give you at the end of this session.

297

To summarise, the authors proposed the idea that we need to regard soil as we would regard any other process in nature.

298

This means we should accept the implications of soil being dependent on decaying

299

and dead matter constantly being passed through the bodies of earthworms.

300

That is, when soil becomes impoverished by the presence of microplastics,

301

not only ecosystems but also the whole of society are negatively impacted.

302

That is the end of part four.

303

You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.

304

Thank you.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다.
