Shadowing Practice: CAE TEST5 PART1 - Learn English Speaking with Video

Now, open your question paper and look at part one.

You'll hear three different extracts.

For questions one to six, choose the answer, A, B or C, which fits best according to what you hear.

There are two questions for each extract.

Extract one.

You overhear two friends, Gordon and Annabelle, discussing a film called A Secret Place, which they have both seen recently.

Now look at questions 1 and 2.

Annabelle, you saw a secret place the other day, didn't you?

I did.

Interesting.

But the action's very patchy.

It falls apart here and there.

There isn't a thread you can follow all the way through, is there?

I can see what the director...

Yoshiki Mutuo.

Yeah, I can see what he's trying to do.

It's a complex layering of detail, but it just doesn't come off.

Well, it's a brave attempt.

It works for me, although I have to say I still really prefer the original novel, with its very delicate touch.

I think, though, the film version taps into our emotions more.

But what about the ending?

I'd have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been for that powerful, pounding rock music, which was obviously supposed to emphasise what was happening on screen.

But I did like the way I was on the verge of laughing then almost crying for

that final two or three minutes.

Very well done.

Not that it really appeared to sort anything out for our hero.

Presumably he'll turn up in a sequel soon with the same old dilemma.

Look forward to that then.

Now you'll hear the recording again.

Annabelle, you saw A Secret Place the other day, didn't you?

I did.

Interesting.

But the action's very patchy.

It falls apart here and there.

Presumably he'll turn up in a sequel soon with the same old dilemma.

Look forward to that, then.

Extract 2 You hear part of a radio interview with an architect called Alan Fassman.

Now look at questions 3 and 4.

So, Alan, what's the best way to get good public architecture?

Well, people don't want to be challenged by architecture.

That's understandable in a way.

I'm not one for saying necessarily

that public buildings are an appropriate area where people should have a vote to say

that this building should go ahead or not.

Many of our greatest and most glorious buildings wouldn't exist if that happened.

Take St Paul's Cathedral in London.

At the time, people were very antagonistic and hated its horrid foreign style.

Now everyone adores it.

It's a landmark, a sort of emblem of the city that wouldn't have existed if public opinion had had its way.

Do other countries do better than us?

Either in terms of imagination or in terms of the kind of decision -making we've been talking about?

Yes, they do.

In recent history, anyway.

The Netherlands is a prime example.

A number of the world's leading architects happen to come from there.

But the important thing is that the people are very knowledgeable.

They learn about architecture in school.

They do have a good record for town planning as well, but that's hardly the point.

Extract 3 You hear part of a radio interview with the ecologist Lorna Hindle about climate change.

Now look at questions 5 and 6.

Why did you decide to publicise climate change in this way?

Well, I was really upset about some countries' failure to sign up to pollution agreements.

It felt like the science wasn't getting through to the politicians.

So I decided to look into what I personally could do.

That led me to dream up a cartoon character called Mr. Carbon.

100

We all know somebody like him.

101

He's climate ignorant and makes no effort to save energy.

102

Factories are the obvious villains, of course but I couldn't do much about them.

103

So are we going to see him in scenes like we get in disaster movies?

104

That's pretty unlikely.

105

You need a lot of alarmist nonsense to make a box office success, but the reality certainly gives cause for concern.

106

So you came up with the idea of another cartoon character, Mrs Green?

107

Yes.

108

Now she pays attention to little things, uses low -energy light bulbs, doesn't leave the TV on standby, goes in for recycling

109

and can you believe it as well as making a huge difference to her climate impact she'll save a hundred

110

and fifty thousand dollars over her lifetime that's incredible

111

now you'll hear the recording again why did you decide to

112

publicize climate change in this way well I was really upset

113

about some countries failure to sign up to pollution agreements it

114

felt like the science wasn't getting through to the politicians

115

so I decided to look into what I personally could do

116

122

123

Yes.

124

Now she pays attention to little things, uses low energy light bulbs, doesn't leave the TV on standby,

125

goes in for recycling, and can you believe it? as well as making a huge difference to her climate impact, she'll save $150 ,000 over her lifetime.

126

That's incredible.

127

That's the end of Part 1.

128

Now turn to Part 2.

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.
