Test 2 Hello, this is the Cambridge English Flyers Listening Test.
2
Part 1.
3
Listen and look.
4
There is one example.
5
Oh, look.
6
This is a great new shop.
7
Oh, yes.
8
And it looks busy today.
9
Do you know the girl who's holding the skirt?
10
The one with the red socks?
11
That's Betty.
12
Can you see the line?
13
This is an example.
14
Now you listen and draw lines.
15
Who's the boy with the glasses? Which boy?
16
The one who's wearing the shorts and putting on the very nice belt?
17
Yes.
18
That's Robert, my friend.
19
Is he going to buy anything?
20
No. Everything's too expensive in this shop.
21
And can you see that woman with the curly hair?
22
The one with the bag who's looking at that striped shirt?
23
No, the one who's standing behind the coats.
24
Oh, yes.
25
I can see her.
26
That's Katie.
27
She works here on Saturdays.
28
There are two women in front of the shelves.
29
Yes.
30
And look, one of them's my Aunt Sally.
31
Is she the woman who's wearing the spotted dress?
32
No. She's the one who's putting those shoes on the little boy.
33
I don't think he likes them very much.
34
Can you see that boy with the baseball cap?
35
Oh, yes.
36
He's got a bat in his hand.
37
That's Paul.
38
He plays a lot of sports.
39
Why's he here?
40
He wanted to see the new shop, I think.
41
Do you know anyone here?
42
Yes, I know the girl in the blue skirt.
43
She's my daughter's best friend, Daisy.
44
She's just bought some new gloves.
45
Yes, she has.

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.
