Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson

This speaking lesson is built on the video “Test 10 (Part 3+4) I TOEIC ETS LC 2026”. The speaker keeps coming back to these words: refer, speaker, conversation. This video has 344 sentences and 2860 words to shadow. The speech runs for 31:32. The speaker talks slowly, about 91 words per minute, so there is time to copy every sound. 84% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English; the rest is worth studying before you start. 72 of its 344 sentences are questions, so it is good practice for question intonation and short answers.

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.
