쉐도잉 연습: IELTS Listening Practice Test with Answers - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
Hi, I'm Mark and in this video we're going to do an IELTS Listening Practice Test.
2
Unlike other Listening Practice Tests that you'll find on the internet, after you've attempted the questions in this Listening Test,
3
I'm going to go through the answers with you so
4
that you'll have a better idea of what to do on test day.
5
And this is the important part.
6
Once you've gone through the test and gotten all the answers right or wrong, now you're ready to learn.
7
You're going to see why you got the right ones right, and why you got the wrong ones wrong.
8
And that's where the learning happens.
9
Alright, let's kick off the practice test.
10
For each question, you'll get a little bit of time to prepare and then the audio will play.
11
I'll return at the very end of the video after you finish the test where I'll explain the answers to you.
12
Just like the real IELTS exam, you're on your own now.
13
Good luck.
14
Good afternoon, A1 Meetings.
15
How can I help?
16
Oh, hello.
17
My name's Cam, and I'm calling about hiring a meeting room.
18
Certainly.
19
Let's just check that your date is available before we go any further.
20
When did you want to hire the room? For July.
21
Sorry, June the 16th.
22
Right.
23
We've got plenty available then.
24
Excellent.
25
Now, we're a local business and we're planning to just walk from our office to your venue on the day.
26
So, can I just confirm the location with you?
27
Yes, of course.
28
We are level 50.
29
Yes.
30
In the Macquarie building.
31
Oh, isn't that on Green Road by the lake?
32
That's quite a distance from us.
33
No, no, that's the old Macquarie building.
34
Now we are in the city centre.
35
It's level 16B, Chambrough Road, Portsville.
36
Oh, would you mind spelling that for me?
37
Certainly.
38
It's G-E-M-B-O-R-O-U-G-H Road.
39
Okay, thanks.
40
Sorry, I'm new to the area.
41
No problem.
42
It's easy to find us.
43
We're just beside the cinema, about two blocks from the State Library.
44
Got it.
45
Okay, I know the spot.
46
That's perfect.
47
It's an easy walk from our office.
48
Great.
49
So let me run through a couple of options and we'll work out the best one for your needs.
50
Perfect.
51
So I presume you need space for more than 10 people, right?
52
Yes, probably around 30.
53
Okay, well, there are two rooms that would probably suit you.
54
One is the governor room, our most popular option, actually.
55
Okay, and how many can it hold?
56
Well, we just had a meeting yesterday with 15 people, but it usually has around 25.
57
We just can't have more than 35 people in there.
58
Well, that sounds fine.
59
Does it have all the usual things?
60
Wi-Fi, projector?
61
Yes, and it's also equipped with its own coffee machine, which is probably why it's so popular.
62
Hmm, and the price?
63
That one is $445 for the day.
64
Okay, and you said there was another one?
65
There's also a state room, another good option for you, but the maximum capacity is 30.
66
So we might need to check your final numbers before locking that one in.
67
Ah, yes.
68
This one has its own restroom attached, as well as a kitchen, which is quite handy and saves time during breaks.
69
Hmm, that's a good point.
70
Oh, and an interactive whiteboard too, if you need that.
71
Right, and is it more expensive than the first room?
72
The stateroom is $415.
73
Quite a good deal actually.
74
Hmm, it is.
75
Now, prior to your event, we just need a few details from you.
76
The best way to do this is to complete your confirmation via our booking form online.
77
I'll send you the link for that.
78
That'd be great.
79
And then just the day before, our manager will give you a ring to sort out keys.
80
We usually leave them in our lockbox so that you can come
81
and go as you please during the day and you just return them at the end.
82
Okay then.
83
Now, what else?
84
Once your meeting is over, we do ask that you ensure the table has been wiped down thoroughly.
85
Oh, of course.
86
Our cleaners will take care of the bathroom and kitchen, but any rubbish left behind also needs to be taken out.
87
There's a bin around the back that we'll show you on the day.
88
Alright, that'll be fine.
89
Any laptop or TV cables you use can also just be brought back to the reception on the ground floor.
90
Okay, got it.
91
So, let me run this by my manager and then I'll give you a call and… Actually, I'm going to be away from tomorrow, but I'll give you my colleague's number.
92
She'll be able to answer any questions you have.
93
Her name is Jenny Arja, that's A-R-J-A-H, and her number is 0231922.
94
Thank you so much for all your information.
95
Hey, I'm back and you've just finished part one of four of this IELTS Listening Practice Test.
96
Before we move on to part two, I want to tell you about E2's online IELTS preparation platform.
97
It's a website built specifically for IELTS students who need to reach a certain IELTS score for university,
98
immigration, or work visas.
99
It has everything an IELTS student could ever need, and I can't recommend it enough.
100
And signing up is super easy.
101
Just go to e2testprep.com and click the start free trial button.
102
Let's move on to part two.
103
But seriously, do sign up to e2testprep.
104
It has even more practice questions, just like those in this video, but better.
105
The slide we're looking at now shows Foster Park as it looks today, with the changes that have been made.
106
You'll notice too that a lot of the original facilities are still here, course.
107
Now we've kept all four gates but we've moved the information board.
108
It used to be next to the tennis courts
109
but you'll find it now immediately to your left when you enter at the south gate.
110
Just like before, it has details about the park opening hours, local wildlife and a little bit about the history of the area.
111
A brand new addition is the children's playground.
112
If you enter by the West Gate, keep walking past the path to your left, and it's just after the one to your right.
113
Dogs are not permitted in that section, so children can play without any worries.
114
For you dog owners, never fear, we have allocated an off-leash dog zone.
115
This is in a fenced-off area to the southwest of the football field, basically in the centre of the park.
116
You'll also find plastic bags there to clean up after your pet.
117
The tennis courts are in the same spot as always, but you'll notice that we've moved the fitness area.
118
This used to be just inside the south gate, but you'll now find it between the pond and the west gate.
119
We think this is a much nicer spot to work out.
120
The second last thing I'd like to point out is the new fountain, a spectacular addition, I'm sure you'll agree.
121
From the west gate, walk along until you reach the first path and turn left there to reach it.
122
And finally, you'll need to know where the drinking taps are, in case you're thirsty or you want to fill up your drink bottles.
123
We decided to put these at the entrance of the south gate, on the right-hand side as you enter.
124
So, if you are planning on playing tennis or football, you might need to hydrate or fill up your bottles beforehand.
125
Or you can get a drink on your way out.
126
Any questions?
127
Now before you go, I just want to fill you in on some of the amazing history of Foster Park.
128
It's actually one of Brixton's most popular green open spaces.
129
Historically, the park was used for a wide range of purposes.
130
Just over a hundred years ago, farmers used to graze their cattle and sheep on it.
131
It's hard to believe that there used to be animals like that roaming in the middle of the city.
132
The only animal you see on it nowadays are dogs.
133
Oh, and interestingly, just after World War II, the park was used to house newly arrived immigrants and returning soldiers.
134
It was lined with tents and makeshift houses.
135
Nowadays it's mainly used for sporting events, including cricket and football, and there's the occasional music festival as well.
136
In fact, there's one on this weekend.
137
The park is also home to a number of buildings and structures, including a community centre and a tennis club.
138
The community centre was the old caretaker's cottage.
139
Quite a lot of work went into renovating that building, but it's great that they've retained almost all of the original building.
140
Now the tennis club is built on the site of what was an old school.
141
Unfortunately, the school had to be knocked down.
142
It was just too old to do up and it was unsafe.
143
The tennis club, thankfully, is brand new and looks amazing.
144
The other building that was torn down, which was a relief as far as I'm concerned, was an old electricity substation.
145
It was a terrible looking old building.
146
The council have plans to build a shelter shed there one day, but not in the near future.
147
Okay, that was part two.
148
Well done.
149
Let's get straight into part three.
150
Hi Jamie, thanks for coming in today and let me start by saying well done on a really great presentation.
151
Oh thank you.
152
I was actually very impressed with the class overall, and I could see you'd put in a lot of work.
153
I sure did, but I must say it was surprisingly enjoyable.
154
That's good.
155
Now, your topic was genetically modified food and the controversies surrounding it on both sides of the political divide.
156
That's right.
157
So how did you come to settle on this topic?
158
Was it because of all the articles about GM food in the papers recently?
159
I actually felt like the issue has dropped out of the public consciousness lately.
160
I haven't seen an article on it in the mainstream media for a long time.
161
I do remember that my dad used to get so furious reading all about the plans to expand GM crops and imports.
162
I see.
163
When I saw that movie by The Naturalist, ah, I forget his name, The Soil Expert.
164
I guess that's when I really got interested, and my presentation just flowed from there.
165
Yes, I know the one.
166
It won several awards.
167
So did you know much about GM food prior to your research?
168
I thought I was an expert, but what I realised through my reading for this presentation was that I'd had a really biased attitude.
169
I mean, I was only really aware of one half of the argument.
170
I never read anything by people who were in favour of GM technology.
171
It's obvious now, but I don't think I really understood the different views on the matter.
172
Yes, that can happen, particularly these days with the way our social media is curated.
173
How do you mean?
174
Well, everyone's social media is increasingly personalised.
175
The news stories that appear on your Facebook feed, for instance, tend to reflect the political or social views you hold.
176
Yeah, I guess you're right.
177
What do we do about that, though?
178
I mean, we can't just disregard everything we see, right?
179
How do we know which stories to trust?
180
Only mainstream media?
181
It's more a matter of consciousness, I would say.
182
As long as you understand the way modern marketing and media work and their strategies, you can make informed choices about what you read and how far you trust it.
183
Do remember that mainstream media also has its biases.
184
Of course, that's true.
185
Now back to your presentation.
186
I made notes which I'll send through with your final grade, but I'm interested to know how you feel about it.
187
Were there any areas that you were disappointed I know you'd been anxious about the technology side of things.
188
I was.
189
Last time I did a presentation for my history subject, it was a disaster.
190
How so?
191
I think I was just way too ambitious with the tech on that occasion.
192
I had moving graphics and audio and video, and in the end, it just distracted from what I really wanted to say.
193
That certainly wasn't the case this time, though.
194
No. I think that's what I'm unhappy about.
195
I was so put off by the previous experience that I went for just bare bones this time.
196
It was very rudimentary, really.
197
I wish I'd aimed a bit higher.
198
Well, that's something to keep in mind for next time.
199
Yeah, a good lesson, I guess.
200
So you've just done part three of this IELTS Listening Practice Test.
201
Remember, if you're having trouble with any of these questions, you can learn E2 strategies at E2testprep.com.
202
Click the link in the description below to get started.
203
Let's move on now to the final part of this test, part four.
204
Thanks to all of you for coming along today to learn more about termites.
205
I'm excited to introduce you to these most fascinating insects that are not dissimilar to ants, except they're usually white and,
206
of course, they can destroy your house because they have an insatiable appetite for wood.
207
Load them or load them, termites are certainly one of the most successful insects in the world, colonizing everywhere on Earth except Antarctica.
208
I want to start this lecture by discussing where they live, their mounds and nests, because this is truly fascinating.
209
The structure of a mound can be very complicated.
210
Inside the mound there is an extensive system of tunnels
211
and conduits that serve as a type of ventilation system for the nest.
212
In order to get good ventilation, there's a central shaft that runs right through the middle of the mound where air is pushed down towards the nest.
213
If we take a closer look at the central nest structure, we can see three main parts, each in engineering marvel unto itself.
214
Right at the top of the nest is stored wood, tiny bits and pieces of termites' daily foraging.
215
And right in the middle of the nest is a larger oval-shaped cavity called the royal cell.
216
Like ants, termites also have an amazing social hierarchy, or social caste, including workers, soldiers, and of course, a king and a queen.
217
So below that larger cavity are several smaller cigar shapes.
218
These are the gallery chambers.
219
The shape and size of these depend on the type of termite, but these ones here are pretty uniformly cigar shaped.
220
I could talk to you all day long about the sophistication of the nest, but let's take our focus off the nest now and notice some other features of the ventilation channels.
221
You might notice an interesting curvy or wavy outer structure.
222
Well, these are the ridges, and they help to regulate the temperature in the nest.
223
But the real regulation is done by what you might think of as air conditioning.
224
Can you see what look like little tubes that run just beneath the outer wall around the entire mound?
225
They're the air channels.
226
They help with the circulatory flow of air, and interestingly, they're unidirectional.
227
The air follows a strict course around the entire mound.
228
So you've just completed this IELTS Listening Practice Test, but don't go anywhere because I'm now going to explain to you the answers to each question.
229
Let's start with part one.
230
How was part one for you?
231
This is the easiest part of the test, but as you saw and heard,
232
it can be challenging to keep track of where to look and what to listen to.
233
Let me go through the answers with you now.
234
For question one, we were listening for the name of a road.
235
But there was a distractor, green road, and that's wrong.
236
And then the correct answer was mentioned, Jembra.
237
But how do you spell that?
238
Well, the name was then spelled for you.
239
For question two, we were listening for a type of building or place.
240
The answer was cinema, not library.
241
library was the distractor.
242
Did you get that?
243
For question three, we're listening for a number because we're looking at maximum capacity.
244
Wow, there were a lot of numbers given, lots of distractors.
245
But the key phrase that gives the answer is we just can't have more than 35 people in there.
246
That's the maximum capacity.
247
So the answer is 35 or 35 people.
248
Now remember that the instruction says you can write one word and or a number.
249
So if you wrote 30 people with two words, you would actually get this answer incorrect.
250
You need to be very careful.
251
In this case, you You could have written the number 35,
252
which is easiest, or the number 35 with the word people.
253
For question four, we're listening for a facility and kitchen is the answer, but you must have spelled it correctly.
254
Then for question five, we need a price, a number, and 415 is mentioned.
255
How are you tracking so far?
256
You might want to go back and read the transcript if you got any of them wrong.
257
By now, you've had a taste of distractors, and they're the reason why many people fail to get the scores they need in IELTS Listening.
258
If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you watch this video on the four types of listening distractors.
259
It explains everything you need to know about how these tests are written so that you can avoid making these mistakes.
260
You can watch this video at e2testprep.com.
261
Alright, question six.
262
You need to speak to the manager to arrange what?
263
Keys.
264
Not key, keys with an S.
265
If you missed the plural, that S, you would get it wrong.
266
Seven, eight, and nine.
267
Well, the table must be cleared.
268
No distractors there.
269
But wiped down and cleaned are the synonyms used.
270
The rubbish needs to be taken out or removed.
271
That's number eight, not been.
272
Not been.
273
And the answer to number nine is reception, not ground floor.
274
All right, Let's look at the final question for part one.
275
Again, it requires listening to spelling.
276
The answer for question 10 is Arjah.
277
A-R-J-A-H.
278
And here are the 10 answers for part one.
279
Pause the video and compare them to your answers.
280
Let's have a look at the answers to part two.
281
These were the questions where you had to label a map.
282
Alright, question 11, the information board.
283
Well, it's immediately to your left when you enter at the south gate.
284
So the answer is F.
285
And there's a distractor there.
286
It used to be next to the tennis courts, but not anymore.
287
Question 12, the children's playground.
288
Well, you need to keep walking past the path to your left.
289
It's just after the one on your right.
290
So it's position B.
291
What about the dog zone?
292
Well, this time we need to use the compass directions.
293
It's southwest of the football field or the bottom left.
294
Keep that compass in mind.
295
The answer here is C, not D.
296
The answer to question 14, the fitness area is E.
297
For question 15, the fountain is in position A, this one is pretty straightforward.
298
And for question 16, the answer is G.
299
The drinking taps are right at the entrance at the south gate on the right-hand side as you enter.
300
So here are the answers for questions 11 to 16.
301
How did you go with questions 17 to 20?
302
Multiple choice and listening can be challenging because you have to read and listen at the same time.
303
Or should I say read and then listen, flashing back and forth between the text and the audio?
304
The answer for questions 17 and 18 are B and C, or C and B.
305
It doesn't matter which order you put them in.
306
The two historical uses of the park were for accommodation, mentioned when the speaker said, just after World War II,
307
the park was used to house newly arrived immigrants.
308
And the second answer is C, farming, because the speaker said farmers used to graze their cattle and sheep on it.
309
For questions 19 and 20, the answers are C and D.
310
The school and the electrical substation were both demolished, knocked down or torn down.
311
There are some great synonyms for demolish there.
312
Pause the video and read the transcript to see why the answers are C and D.
313
Now I've mentioned synonyms a few times.
314
There's a great video over at e2testprep.com that covers the use of synonyms in both IELTS listening and IELTS reading.
315
It's a really good video if you want to understand the way these questions are written
316
so you can get them all right.
317
Check it out at e2testprep.com.
318
So the answers for 17 and 18 are B or C and C or B.
319
Again, it doesn't matter which order you put them in.
320
And then the answers for 19 and 20 are C and D, in any order.
321
So that was part two of four for this IELTS listening test.
322
Remember, you can learn E2's methods to map labeling and multiple choice questions if you sign up for free at e2testprep.com.
323
All right, part three now.
324
The answer for question 21 is A.
325
She saw a film about it.
326
There were two major distractors where the other answer options were mentioned.
327
But then she finally said, when I saw that movie by the naturalist, I forget his name, the soil expert,
328
I guess that's when I really got interested.
329
Question 22 is C.
330
This whole part is a rewording or paraphrase of she knew only one side of the argument.
331
23 is B.
332
This was complicated, but it's pretty clear if you listen again
333
or read the transcript that the professor advises Jamie to be aware of the techniques marketers use.
334
Again, pause the video and take a closer look.
335
And 24 is B.
336
She should have been more ambitious.
337
There were also some distractors in there as well.
338
One of the difficult things about part three, and especially multiple choice is knowing which question you're up to.
339
You need to listen carefully for the same word
340
or similar words used in the question prompt and the audio so you know where you're up to.
341
This is explained in our live classes and other videos like this that you will find on E2 Test Prep.
342
The answers for questions 21 to 24 are A, C, B, and B.
343
And now let's look at the answers to the most challenging part of the test, part four.
344
All right, question 25.
345
What is the middle section of the diagram?
346
Well, that's the central shaft.
347
It's not a tunnel or a conduit, a ventilation system or a nest.
348
Question 26 is stored wood, not just wood, and definitely not daily foraging.
349
And 27 is royal cell, C-E-L-L, not S-E-L-L, and not cavity.
350
Question 28 is gallery chambers,
351
not gallery chamber, singular, and not cigar or cigar shapes.
352
Question 29 is ridges, R-I-D-G-E-S with an S on the end, not ventilation channels.
353
And question 30 is air channels, not air channel singular, or air conditioning or little tubes or circulatory flow.
354
Well done.
355
You've just finished an IELTS listening practice test with us here at E2.
356

이 레슨에서 배울 것
이 비디오는 IELTS 리스닝 실전 연습과 함께 답변 해설까지 포함된 유용한 자료입니다. 특히 영어 듣기뿐만 아니라 shadowspeak (쉐도잉) 연습에도 좋습니다. 대화에서 사용된 실제 비즈니스 용어와 발음, 억양을 따라하면서 리스닝 실력과 동시에 말하기 능력을 키울 수 있습니다. 회의실 예약과 관련된 일상적인 대화를 통해 실제 시험에서 만날 수 있는 상황을 체험해보세요.
핵심 단어와 구문
- hire a meeting room: 회의실을 임대하다
- venue: 장소 (특히 행사나 미팅이 열리는 곳)
- spell that: 그것을 철자해 주다
- run through: (계획이나 옵션을) 간단히 설명하다
- level 16B: 16B 층 (층 수 표현 방식)
- two blocks from: ~로부터 두 블록 떨어진 곳
쉐도잉 연습 팁
이 비디오의 대화는 자연스러운 속도와 일상적인 톤을 가지고 있어 영어 쉐도잉에 적합합니다. 다음과 같이 연습해보세요. 먼저 전체 대화를 듣고 내용을 이해한 후, 2-3초 지연시키면서 발음과 억양을 정확히 따라하세요. 특히 "G-E-M-B-O-R-O-U-G-H Road"와 같은 철자 발음 부분은 영어 발음 교정에 중점을 두고 연습하세요. 또한 "Sorry, I'm new to the area"와 같은 자연스러운 반응 표현은 shadowspeak 연습을 통해 흐르게 말할 수 있도록 노력하세요. 반복해서 연습하면 리스닝 이해도와 동시에 말하기의 자연스러움이 향상될 것입니다.

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. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
