Shadowing Practice: CAM16 TEST3 PART1 - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Test 3.
2
This is the IELTS listening test.
3
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
4
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
5
All the recordings will be played once only.
6
The test is in four parts.
7
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
8
Now turn to part one.
9
Part one.
10
You will hear a woman phoning to ask about a summer cycling camp for her young son, who is called Charlie.
11
First, you have some time to look at questions one to five.
12
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
13
Hello, Junia Cycle Camp, Jake speaking.
14
Hi, I'm calling for some information about the Cycle Camp.
15
I'm thinking of sending my son.
16
Great.
17
Well, it's held every weekday morning over the summer vacation, and we focus on basic cycling skills and safety.
18
We have eight levels for children from three years upwards.
19
How old's your son?
20
Charlie, he's seven.
21
He can ride a bike, but he needs a little more training before he's safe to go on the road.
22
He'd probably be best in level five.
23
They start off practicing on the site here, and we aim to get them riding on the road.
24
But first, they're taken to ride in the park, away from the traffic.
25
Right.
26
And can you tell me a bit about the instructors?
27
Well, all our staff wear different colored shirts.
28
So we have three supervisors, and they have red shirts.
29
They support the instructors, and they also stand in for me if I'm not around.
30
Then the instructors themselves are in blue shirts,
31
and one of these is responsible for each class.
32
Okay.
33
In order to be accepted,
34
all our instructors have to submit a reference from someone who's seen them work with children.
35
Like if they've worked as a babysitter, for example.
36
Then they have to complete our training course, including how to do lesson plans,
37
and generally care for the well -being of the kids in their class.
38
They do a great job, I have to say.
39
Right.
40
And tell me a bit about the classes.
41
What size will Charlie's class be?
42
We have a limit of eight children in each class, so their instructor really gets to know them well.
43
They're out riding most of the time, but they have quiet times,
44
too, where their instructor might tell them a story that's got something to do with cycling
45
or get them to play a game together.
46
It's a lot of fun.
47
It must be.
48
Now, what happens if there's rain?
49
Do the classes still run?
50
Oh, yes.
51
We don't let that put us off.
52
We just put on our waterproofs and keep cycling.
53
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
54
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
55
And is there anything special Charlie should bring along with him?
56
Well, maybe some spare clothes, especially if the weather's not so good.
57
And a snack for break time?
58
How about a drink?
59
No, we'll provide that.
60
And make sure he has shoes, not sandals.
61
Sure.
62
And just at present, Charlie has to take medication every few hours, so I'll make sure he has that.
63
Absolutely.
64
Just give us details of when he has to take it, and we'll make sure he does.
65
Thanks.
66
Now, there are a few things you should know about day one of the camp.
67
The classes normally start at 9 .30 every morning,
68
but on day one you should aim to get Charlie here by 9 .20.
69
The finishing time will be 12 .30 as usual.
70
We need the additional time because there are a few extra things to do.
71
The most important is that we have a very careful check to make sure that every child's helmet fits properly.
72
If it doesn't fit, we'll try to adjust it, or we'll find him another one.
73
But he must wear it all the time he's on the bike. Of course.
74
Then, after that, all the instructors will be waiting to meet their classes.
75
and they'll meet up in the tent.
76
You can't miss it, and each instructor will take their class away and get started.
77
Okay, well, that all sounds good.
78
Now, can you tell me how much the camp costs a week?
79
$199.
80
We've managed to keep the price more or less the same as last year.
81
It was 190 then, but the places are filling up quite quickly.
82
Right.
83
Okay, well, I'd like to book for the...
84
That is the end of part one.
85
You now have half a minute to check your answers to part one.

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "CAM16 TEST3 PART1" 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.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | will be played · will be given · is called |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | they've worked · We've managed |
| Advice with “should” should + verb — saying what is a good idea | should bring · should know · should aim |
| Future with “will” will + verb — a decision, promise or prediction | will hear · will be · will Charlie |
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.
