For each question, choose the correct answer.
3
8. You will hear a boy telling his friend about a snowboarding trip.
4
Hi Frankie, how was snowboarding?
5
The first few days were great.
6
The snow was perfect and I was learning some great new tricks.
7
Don't tell me.
8
You hit a tree and had to stop.
9
That's what happens to some people, isn't it?
10
A broken leg.
11
In my case, it was a lot more boring.
12
My stomach found it hard getting used to the local food, so I had to spend a few days in bed.
13
Then my sister borrowed my board and managed to drop it from the ski lift.
14
It didn't break, but we never got it back.
15
Oh no!
16
Now listen again.
17
Hi Frankie!

30
9. You will hear two friends talking about the new library at their school.
31
The new school library's great!
32
Everything being self -service takes a bit of getting used to.
33
I found it quite useful having someone there to ask if you couldn't find something.
34
True, but the new system works well.
35
It's pretty quiet there too.
36
I can't concentrate at home because of my little sister, so I always stay now to get everything done for the next day's lessons.
37
Good idea.
38
Yes, and of course I'd never have the books I needed because I always forgot to get them before I went home,
39
which isn't a problem if I stay.
40
Now listen again.

50
10. You will hear two friends talking about a new clothes shop.
51
I like that new clothes shop.
52
Me too.
53
The one I usually use is so far out of town I hardly ever go there.
54
Me neither.
55
And you have to get two different buses.
56
The people who work at the new shop couldn't be nicer.
57
The lady who served me was a bit miserable, actually, but the others seemed OK.
58
It's not too expensive, either.
59
Maybe it's because it's only just opened, but I found the range of styles they had was quite narrow.
60
I think the other shop definitely has a bigger variety of things for teenagers.
61
Now listen again.
62

63

72
11. You will hear two friends talking about a new classmate.
73
What do you think of the new boy Finian?
74
He seems pretty cool to me.
75
He certainly knows lots of jokes and funny stories.
76
We could hardly stop him talking at break time.
77
Not that we really wanted him to.
78
And he answered at least twice as many questions as I did during the maths class.
79
You're really good at maths too.
80
Maybe, but he also knew a lot about what we were discussing in our groups in the history class.
81
I tried to get him to come to training for the school football team, but I didn't manage to persuade him.
82
Now listen again.
83
What do you think of the new boy Finian?
84

91

92
12. You will hear a girl talking about her big brother going away to college.
93
Has your brother gone away to college yet?
94
Yeah, he left yesterday.
95
I thought I'd be relieved not to have to listen to music coming from his bedroom all evening.
96
I couldn't believe it when tears actually started running down my cheeks last night, and this morning too, when he wasn't at breakfast.
97
I never knew you two were so close.
98
We weren't.
99
You just get used to someone being there, though.
100
And when they're suddenly not, it's strange.
101
Even though I know he hasn't gone hundreds of kilometers away like some students do, he'll probably be back most weekends.
102
Now listen again.
103
Has your brother gone away to college yet?
104
Yeah, he left yesterday.
105
I thought I'd be relieved not to have to listen to music coming from his bedroom all evening.
106

110
And when they're suddenly not, it's strange.
111
Even though I know he hasn't gone hundreds of kilometers away like some students do, he'll probably be back most weekends.
112
13. You will hear two friends talking about playing tennis.
113
Are you still having tennis coaching?
114
Yes, but I'm progressing really slowly.
115
The teacher wants me to learn each skill well before we move on to the next.
116
Does your coach do that?
117
Pretty much, yes.
118
Even though I practice between the sessions with my family, I'm sure I'd improve more quickly if someone showed me a few other skills.
119
That's why I need your help.
120
When I watch you play, I can see you doing loads of things I'd like to be able to do,
121
but I forget how you do them as soon as I go home.
122
Now listen again.
123
Are you still having tennis coaching?
124
Yes, but I'm progressing really slowly.
125
The teacher wants me to learn each skill well before we move on to the next.
126

132
That is the end of part two.
133
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
