1
You'll hear two students, Bella and Tom, discussing an article they've read about a woman astronaut.
2
For questions 15 to 20, choose the answer, A, B, C or D, which fits best according to what you hear.
3
You now have one minute to look at part three.
4
Pause the recording for one minute.
5
You'll need to play the recording twice.
6
That was a really interesting article the tutor recommended about Eleanor Choa, wasn't it, Bella?
7
It certainly was, Tom.
8
I used to dream of going into space when I was a kid,
9
though I know now I wouldn't be the right kind of person for the job.
10
But surely they need all sorts of different types of people.
11
I'm not sure about that.
12
I'd get too panicky if there were problems, I think.
13
Anyway, I found it particularly interesting to read about a space woman.
14
There aren't too many of those around.
15
You're right there.
16
Anyway, I'm sure they'd be just as able as men to cope with all the challenges of the job.
17
The article certainly suggests that Ellen was something special.
18
The way she defied all the odds in her determination to do what she'd wanted to do ever since she was small.
19
What I liked best were the sections which quoted her.
20
I thought she was amazingly good at conveying what it was like to go into space.
21
True.
22
And she's also obviously a very talented scientist.
23
Yes, she did amazing work.
24
And I think she sounds as if she must have been a wonderful colleague for the others in her team.
25
Absolutely, Bella.
26
I also found the article interesting in what it said about the requirements for becoming an astronaut
27
I knew you'd have to have done loads of flight hours as an ordinary aircraft pilot,
28
of course And I suppose it's not that surprising they want people who are good at sport
29
And who aren't either too small or too tall
30
Well, I was surprised, Tom, that being shorter than the average was not acceptable I wouldn't have expected that to be an issue.
31
But I never imagined that you needed to have a postgraduate degree.
32
I don't think I even realised you had to be a graduate.
33
Me neither.
34
I never imagined that.
35
Anyway, she does have an interesting life, doesn't she?
36
Yes, Tom, I know.
37
Imagine walking in space and having to work inside and outside the capsule when you're weightless.
38
Yes, that must be extraordinary.
39
For me, I think the most interesting bit would be having to deal with all the little unexpected problems that arise
40
Having to sort things out within your little team
41
That must be amazing
42
Yes, it must
43
But I was particularly intrigued by her account of the role she sometimes has
44
As one of the people on Earth who are in control of the mission
45
You know, when she helps them communicate with other astronauts in space I thought that sounded really fascinating.
46
Being the one person present on the ground who really understands what life is like for the space crew.
47
She must be able to make things go much more smoothly.
48
Anyway, all in all, I thought it was a brilliant article.
49
Yes, it was.
50
Though I thought it was a pity
51
it didn't tell us as much as it might have done about the less pleasant sides of being in space.
52
I can't believe that it's always straightforward,
53
that all they do is admire the views and carry out lots of groundbreaking scientific research.
54
There must be some low points, even if it's only being irritated by some annoying habit of a fellow crew member,
55
or getting fed up with the same old food.
56
Well, we could always try to do a bit more research into that sort of area, if you like, Tom.
57
I wondered even if Eleanor Choa's experiences might make a topic for that science coursework we've got to do next term.
58
Or, you know, we could see what we could learn about everyone who's gone into space, from Yuri Gagarin to the present day.
59
Well, I'm not sure about that.
60
I was quite keen to do something on the funding of space research.
61
Anyway, I suppose we could bear it in mind.
62
But what I do fancy doing is going to a series of lectures I've seen advertised on astronauts
63
and how they're portrayed in the cinema and in books.
64
Wow, that sounds brilliant.
65
Do you mind if I come along too?
66
Of course not, Bella.
67
It'd be good to do it together.
68
Cool.
69
That was a really interesting article the tutor recommended about Ellen Ochoa, wasn't it, Bella?
70
It certainly was, Tom.
71

72

- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: ordinary /ˈɔɹdɪnɛɹi/, extraordinary /ɪksˈtɹɔːrdɪn(ə)ɹi/, acceptable /əkˈsɛp.tə.bəl/, unexpected /ʌnɪkˈspɛktɪd/, communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/

- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: astronaut /ˈæstɹəˌnɔt/, fancy /ˈfæn.si/, talented /ˈtæləntɪd/, habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/, capsule /ˈkæps(ə)l/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/, groundbreaking /ˈɡɹaʊndˌbɹeɪkɪŋ/, intrigue /ˈɪntɹiːɡ/, postgraduate /ˌpəʊstˈɡɹædju.ət/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Begin op 0,75× snelheid, spreek zin voor zin na en ga terug naar normale snelheid zodra het makkelijk gaat.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als astronaut, topic, odd.
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.
