Shadowing Practice: CAE4 O TEST 2 PART 4 - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Part 4 This part consists of two tasks.
2
You will hear various people talking about the experience of winning something.
3
Look at task 1.
4
For questions 27 to 31, match the extracts as you hear them with the people listed A to H.
5
Now look at task 2.
6
For questions 32 to 36,
7
match the extracts as you hear them with the topics listed A to H.
8
You will hear the recording twice.
9
While you listen, you must complete both tasks.
10
It was such a wonderful surprise when the letter arrived.
11
I'd sent in a couple of pictures I'd taken in the garden
12
while I was still in work and then forgotten about it.
13
You never think it could really happen to you, do you?
14
The money certainly came in handy until I found something else.
15
I was very sceptical when she first started going in for them.
16
You know, when they're at that age and get these ideas, you worry, don't you?
17
I'd never really seen her as exceptionally clever or well-read.
18
I suppose you don't with your own.
19
She certainly doesn't get her brains from me, and that's for sure.
20
Well, we only started to play when we stopped working, and we certainly never intended to go in for competitions.
21
It's a game that suits people of our age.
22
Sort of slow-moving, but good exercise.
23
And then we both found that we not only enjoyed it, but were rather good at it.
24
And so now we've got this cup.
25
Strange, really.
26
I don't know why mine turn out better than anyone else's.
27
Perhaps it's something to do with the soil.
28
And of course it's not only a matter of size.
29
To win, they have to be perfect in every way.
30
And that comes from a lot of loving care and attention.
31
The idea came to me one day in the garden as I was jotting down a few ideas.
32
I thought, what would I do if I won a lot of money?
33
Would it ruin everything, or would it be a new beginning?
34
It's ironic that it should win, but literary prizes are not in the big league financially, so I won't be having any of those problems myself.
35
Now you will hear the recording again.
36
Remember, you must complete both tasks.
37

60
That is the end of part four.
61
There will now be a ten-minute pause to allow you to transfer your answers to the separate answer sheet.
62
Be sure to follow the numbering of all the questions.
63
The question papers and answer sheets will then be collected by your supervisor.
64
Teacher, pause the tape here for ten minutes.
65
Remind your students when they have one minute left.
66
That is the end of the test.
67
That's the end of side one.

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "CAE4 O TEST 2 PART 4" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.
Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
