CD 1 Test 1 Hello,
3
this is the Cambridge English Movers Listening Test.
4
Thank you.
5
Look at part one.
6
Now look at the picture.
7
Listen and look.
8
There is one example.
9
Here's a picture of the farm that we went to on our school trip, Mum.
10
It's great!
11
Who's that person, the man who's coming out of the field?
12
With the water.
13
That's Paul.
14
He's the farmer's son.
15
Oh, he looks busy.
16
He was.
17
Can you see the line?
18
This is an example.
19
Now you listen and draw lines.
20
One.
21
Is that one of your classmates?
22
The child that's with the sheep?
23
Yes.
24
Her name's Claire.
25
She's feeding them.
26
That's nice.
27
They're very young.
28
Yes.
29
They were only six weeks old, I think.
30
Two. And there's Jack.
31
He's walking up the top field to see the cows.
32
Look.
33
Oh, yes.
34
Was he afraid of them?
35
Cows are huge animals.
36
Well, he took a photo of them with his tablet and then came back down again very quickly.
37
OK.
38
And I talked to that person.
39
He knew a lot.
40
He helps on the farm.
41
Do you mean the man who's building that wall?
42
Yes, he's called Peter.
43
He often has to fix the walls.
44
They fall down a lot.
45
4. Who's that on the horse?
46
Let me think.
47
Oh, I know.
48
That's Zoe.
49
It was her first riding lesson.
50
Did she enjoy it?
51
Yes.
52
I'd like to try that one day too.
53
Me too.
54
5. And can you see the woman who's carrying the vegetables?
55
No. Where is she?
56
Behind the tractor.
57
She's called Julia.
58
Oh, yes.
59
How do you know her name?
60
She talked to us about growing different things.

She was really nice.
62
We had a great day there.

What You'll Practice in This Lesson

This lesson focuses on understanding and replicating conversational English through a dialogue about a school trip to a farm. Learners will practice listening to natural speech patterns, identifying key details, and improving their speaking and pronunciation skills using real-life scenarios. The video’s casual tone and clear vocabulary make it ideal for building confidence in everyday communication, a core part of effective language learning.

Key Vocabulary & Phrases

  • Feeding: Giving food to animals (e.g., "She's feeding the sheep").
  • Tablet: A portable device used to take photos or browse (e.g., "He took a photo with his tablet").
  • Fix: To repair something that’s broken (e.g., "He often has to fix the walls").
  • Riding lesson: A class to learn how to ride a horse (e.g., "It was her first riding lesson").
  • Field: An area of land used for farming (e.g., "He's walking up the top field").

Practice Tips for Shadowing & Pronunciation

The shadowing technique—repeating speech immediately after hearing it—is highly effective here. The video’s speed is moderate, with short phrases, making it easy to follow. Start by listening to 5-second clips, pausing, and repeating. Focus on matching the tone: the speakers sound excited about the farm trip, so mimic their upward intonation when talking about animals or activities (e.g., "They were only six weeks old!").

For pronunciation practice, pay attention to linked words like "look at" or "talk to"—native speakers often connect these, so practice saying them smoothly. Also, note how "afraid of" is pronounced with a soft "of" (sounding like "uhv") instead of a strong "off." This helps with natural speaking flow.

Repeat the dialogue multiple times, gradually increasing the clip length. This builds muscle memory for common phrases, making your speaking practice more automatic. Over time, you’ll notice improved clarity and confidence in using everyday English.

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.
