1
Now open your question paper and look at part 1.
2
You'll hear three different extracts.
3
For questions 1 to 6, choose the answer A, B or C, which fits best according to what you hear.
4
There are two questions for each extract.
5
Extract 1.
6
You hear two colleagues, Eva and Colin, talking about a problem at work.
7
Now look at questions 1 and 2.
8
So the thing is, you aren't getting on with her new boss then, Colin.
9
She's just so different from her predecessor.
10
I mean, John used to get us all involved in the decision -making process.
11
No chance of that with Sandra, you think?
12
No way!
13
OK, I grant you, she's got some good ideas.
14
She moved pretty fast to get us all to agree to individual job descriptions and a proper timetable, none of which we've had before and we should have had.
15
And she's done her homework on the staff profile, our qualifications and past experience and so on.
16
As you'd expect.
17
Yes, but she doesn't seem aware of the atmosphere here.
18
It's the way we've always done things.
19
I just don't feel I can work with her.
20
I'd say she's just finding her feet in a new job, and she'll soon get the hang of what we're all about.
21
Let's focus on how much she's already achieved.
22
I wouldn't let anybody tell you it's a trivial issue, though.
23
If she doesn't settle in soon, and you still have issues with her, I think you should approach her direct.
24
Okay.
25
Thanks, Eva.
26
Now you'll hear the recording again.
27
So the thing is, you aren't getting on with her new boss then, Colin.

Extract 2 You overhear a woman telling a friend a story about a swan.
46
Now look at questions three and four.
47
So what happened last weekend?
48
Well, we were taking our boat along the river when we passed a pair of swans with a nest nearby.
49
One swan just carried on feeding, but the other one, the male, I think, decided to come and investigate.
50
Oh, fantastic.
51
I've never seen a swan's nest close up.
52
I expect he was hungry.
53
Well, actually, it was immediately obvious from his body language that he had other things on his mind.
54
He was flapping his wings really hard and approaching at incredible speed.
55
I guess we'd gone too close to the nest.
56
I'd never have done that if I'd known what would happen.
57
Gosh, amazing.
58
I've never heard of swans behaving like that before.
59
So what did you do, row like mad?
60
Well, we got out onto the bank, but he followed us up and then stood between us and the boat for about an hour.
61
We just couldn't frighten him away.
62
No, I suppose not.
63
Still, I'm sure he wouldn't have hurt you.
64
Are you kidding?
65
You should have seen the way he moved.
66
Swans can be really aggressive at nesting times.
67
Hmm.
68
Now you'll hear the recording again.
69

Extract 3 You hear part of an interview with Bruce Loder, a successful businessman who's talking about his early life.
91
Now look at questions 5 and 6.
92
Bruce, at school you discovered you had a natural talent for art.
93
Yes, I inherited my dad's gift for drawing.
94
I wanted to do representational art, paint portraits.
95
But every college I went to, and there were three who accepted me, All the college tutors said, forget representational art, get a single lens reflex 33mm camera,
96
hit the shutter, crash, there's your picture.
97
Not even Rembrandt could get that accuracy, so it's not worth it.
98
And you believed them?
99
I did.
100
That was my biggest mistake.
101
I haven't picked up a paintbrush since.
102
How did your father react when you told him you weren't going to art college?
103
His face was white with rage.
104
He said, right, that's it.
105
You could have made something of going to college you won't get another chance.
106
Now I've got a perfectly good job for you on the factory floor.
107
You start this week, take it or leave it.
108
I said, no, I'm going to start a business next.
109
He said, well, at your own expense then.
110
He refused to support you anymore?
111
That's it, and so...
112
Now you'll hear the recording again.
113
Bruce, at school you discovered you had a natural talent for art.
114
Yes, I inherited my dad's gift for drawing.
115

133

134
you Thank you.
135
I'd set off with my friend Matthew Price to sail down a little -known river in the rainforest in a homemade boat.
136
Our original idea was to go all the way by boat, carrying it past any rough bits, but the river was much rockier and faster -flowing than we'd thought,
137
which meant we were only covering a few kilometres each day.
138
Then suddenly we realised that as As the river was about to go over a waterfall, we could go no further by boat.
139
As it was only a homemade thing, we decided to abandon it and walk to the nearest road.
140
As far as we knew, there were no villages or trading posts along the way, and on our map it looked like a hundred -kilometre walk.
141
And that walk, through thick rainforest with twenty -five kilos on our backs, was difficult.
142
We walked for six days.
143
It was hot and we were permanently wet through before we came to any sign of civilization.
144
There were times when we really wondered if we'd ever get out of that jungle alive.
145
Then, on the seventh day, we suddenly came across a path.
146
Not an animal trail, but a man -made one, so we knew there must be people living there.
147
It was going roughly in the right direction, so we followed it, and at dusk, we came to a deserted camp in a hollow.
148
Deserted, but not uninhabited.
149
There was digging equipment wrapped in plastic, alongside two water -filled holes.
150
Obviously someone had been digging in search of gold at some time or another.
151
Nearby, on a rough wooden table, were some cooking utensils and a few other supplies, and whoever was camping there must have been intending to return soon,
152
because there was a large pot full of thick soup.
153
We couldn't identify either the strange -looking pieces of meat or the unfamiliar vegetables it seemed to be made from, but we were in a desperate state.
154
Over the previous seven days, we'd only had flour and rice to eat, and although we had plenty left, we were low on energy.
155
This was our greatest problem.
156
So we cooked up some of our rice and decided to have two spoonfuls from the pot with it.
157
It was good, so we had another spoonful.
158
And then another.
159
Soon nothing was left of our host's meal.
160
Afterwards we began to get worried.
161
People living this sort of life could be very tough, and this one could return any minute.
162
We decided to make an early start.
163
To show we were grateful, we placed thirty dollars in the cleaned out cooking pot.
164
It was quite a lot for the quantity of food.
165
It was probably only worth ten dollars or so.
166
But that wasn't the point.
167
This man wouldn't be able to pop to the supermarket to replace the food we'd eaten.
168
But I have no regrets because
169
that dinner gave us the strength to make it the rest of the way through the jungle safely.
170
Now you'll hear the recording again.

205
That's the end of Part 2.
206
Now turn to Part 3.
207
Part 3.
208
You'll hear part of an interview with the astronaut Charles Duke, who is talking about his trip to the moon.
209
For questions 15 to 20, choose the answer A, B, C or D, which fits best according to what you hear.
210
You now have one minute to look at part three.
211
Thank you.
212
Charles Duke My guest today is Charles Duke, one of the few people to have walked on the moon as part of an Apollo mission.
213
Charles, welcome to the studio.
214
Have you always been hooked on space travel?
215
Quite frankly, as a kid, it had never entered my head.
216
There wasn't even a space program when I was young, so there weren't any astronauts.
217
What about science fiction films at the cinema?
218
I'd seen them.
219
Of course, I used to wonder what space travel might be like, but it was never what you might describe as a fascination, if you follow me.
220
So how did it all come about?
221
It was at the Naval Academy.
222
Oh, not in the Air Force?
223
No, but I was a Navy pilot.
224
I had fallen in love with planes and nothing else would do and that gave me the opportunity to start, to get selected for the astronaut program.
225
Presumably by then they were talking about putting rockets into space.
226
Absolutely, yeah.
227
And how did you find the training?
228
I suppose the lunar surface training in the spacesuit was physically demanding in a way.
229
Quite uncomfortable, I imagine.
230
It's not what you might expect.
231
Once the spacesuits get inflated, it gets very rigid.
232
You had to fight to bend your arms and move your fingers inside the gloves.
233
And how long did you spend inside it?
234
Around four to five hours, but actually the most challenging part was worrying about how to handle the simulator, because we needed to know how to land and then take off on the moon.
235
I don't think I could have coped with that.
236
I'm not sure I did, but if you did something wrong, you were in trouble, and we often spent eight hours a day trying to learn what to do.
237
So, how did you feel when you first heard that you were actually going to the moon?
238
I suppose you're expecting me to say exhilarated, but I knew there were lots of ifs.
239
It would happen if they didn't cancel the program, if I didn't get sick and so on.
240
So I stopped doing all the dangerous sports I was involved in.
241
So you knew you had one chance and if you blew it, you wouldn't get another.
242
That just about sums it up.
243
And when you eventually got there, what impact did it have on you?
244
Landing on the moon, I mean.
245
When we saw the moon for the first time from about 1500 metres, we recognised the landmarks.
246
But as we got closer, we saw that the spot we were going to land on was very rough big rocks and craters, so we panicked a bit.
247
And the more we tried to maneuver and the closer we got, the more moon dust we blew out.
248
But you landed safely?
249
Eventually, yeah.
250
We were six hours late.
251
So when we touched down, we erupted in enthusiasm.
252
We shook hands and hugged each other.
253
Not an easy feat in spacesuits.
254
No, indeed.
255
But after that, we had to rest for a certain period.
256
We got outside for the very first time.
257
You must have been terrified.
258
We had no sense of fear about stepping off the ladder onto the moon.
259
We just jumped off and started bouncing around like lambs in a field in springtime.
260
And when you saw the lunar landscape, did it live up to expectations?
261
What struck me most, apart from its awesome attraction, was its desolation.
262
The sky was jet black.
263
You felt as if you could reach out and touch it.
264
There were no stars, and the sun was shining all the time.
265
And what went through your mind at that moment?
266
The fact that it was so untouched.
267
The fact that nobody had ever been to that particular spot before kept returning.
268
It was simply breathtaking.
269
And do you have a favorite memory of the mission?
270
Definitely.
271
It was the thing that we did during the last moonwalk.
272
We were about six kilometers or so from the base and on the edge of a big crater a hundred meters deep.
273
We had to be careful as we walked along the ridge because one slip would have been dangerous.
274
Suddenly we saw this huge rock.
275
It was a long way off and there are no people
276
or cars to judge distances or give you any sense of scale.
277
But you managed to get down to it?
278
Eventually.
279
It was enormous.
280
The biggest rock anybody had ever touched on the moon.
281
I had a hammer and I hit a chunk of it and it came off in my hand, a piece the size of a small melon.
282
A different kind of souvenir.
283
So, do you think we should go back?
284
What's the reason for investing all this time and money in the space race anyway?
285
Oh, it's the prime place for a scientific base.
286
Now you'll hear the recording again.
287
My guest today is Charles Duke, one of the few people to have walked on the moon as part of an Apollo mission.
288

352
We had to be careful as we walked along the ridge because one slip would have been dangerous.
353

What's the reason for investing all this time and money in the space race anyway?
364
Oh, it's the prime place for a scientific base.
365
Look at Task 1.
366
For questions 21 to 25, choose from the list A to H what each speaker says about coming into contact with a celebrity.
367
Now look at Task 2.
368
For questions 26 to 30, choose from the list A to H the opinion each speaker gives about the celebrity.
369
While you listen, you must complete both tasks.
370
You now have 45 seconds to look at part four.
371
Speaker 1 I was a hotel receptionist, and Lenny Grade, the film producer,
372
came rushing him one night to say he had a very important meeting in the morning.
373
He was quite worked up about it, and kept stressing how vital it was that he had an eight o 'clock alarm call.
374
At the time, I remember finding him quite patronising, because he felt he must keep repeating his request as if I was an idiot.
375
I was doing an overnight shift, and to cut a long story short,
376
I was having coffee before heading home when there was a commotion by the lift and he came sprinting past swearing.
377
I looked at my watch and it was 9 .15.
378
It had totally slipped my mind to wake him up.
379
Speaker 2 I used to be a chauffeur, ferrying around various stars to events.
380
My most tense experience was the time I took Stan Lane to the premiere of his film.
381
The tension began when the company gave me an address, but I ended up on the other side of London, fifteen minutes before I was due to pick him up.
382
It was a complete catastrophe.
383
I finally fetched him, then I ended up going through red lights and speeding, while he was panicking about being late,
384
and asking to be let out so he could get the tube.
385
He went right over the top, actually, as if it was the end of the world, even though I kept telling him we'd make it on time.
386
Speaker 3
387
I served the tennis player Tina Sherwood with lots of fruit
388
and vegetables in a shop in Wimbledon during the tennis tournament one year.
389
The players used to come in and buy huge amounts of stuff to keep them going.
390
She bought so much she was paying by credit card.
391
I suppose she thought she didn't have to sign the slip because she was so famous, but I made her do it.
392
She looked quite taken aback at the time, but after that, whenever I saw her in the street, she'd stop me to ask how I was.
393
I could be wrong but I reckon she realised
394
that no matter how famous you are there are still rules that apply to everyone
395
Speaker 4 I was the manager of a nightclub,
396
and one night this enormous car drew up outside the club with an extremely famous rock star in the back.
397
His two bodyguards came up to the door and asked if they could come in and look around.
398
I let them in.
399
They checked out the club and reported back to him in the car.
400
Then he came over and said that he would like to come in, and could I arrange to have a special area cleared for him?
401
As if, I mean, what made him think he could go to a crowded place like
402
that and be kept apart from everyone else?
403
Speaker 5 I served champagne and dinner at the film star Lena Leonard's flat once.
404
It was a party for close family and friends, and she came to the door wearing no make -up, then disappeared for two hours while we got things ready,
405
and came back into the kitchen looking a million dollars.
406
I wandered around her flat pouring champagne for her and her guests.
407
She gave me a very generous tip afterwards, which came as a bit of a shock, because every other time I'd waited on stars, they turned out to be rather mean.
408
She was quite ordinary for such a mega star, and she didn't seem to feel she had to put on an act or anything.
409
She was just being herself, I guess.
410
Now you'll hear the recording again.
411
Speaker 1 I was a hotel receptionist, and Lenny Grade, the film producer,
412
came rushing in one night to say he had a very important meeting in the morning.
413
He was quite worked up about it and kept stressing how vital it was
414
that he had an eight o 'clock alarm call.
415
At the time, I remember finding him quite patronising
416
because he felt he must keep repeating his request as if I was an idiot.
417
I was doing an overnight shift and, to cut a long story short,
418
I was having coffee before heading home when there was a commotion by the lift and he came sprinting past swearing.
419
I looked at my watch and it was 9 .15.
420
It had totally slipped my mind to wake him up.
421
Speaker 2 I used to be a chauffeur ferrying around various stars to events.
422

O que você vai aprender com esse vídeo
Esse trecho é perfeito para a sua prática de conversação em inglês, especialmente se você quer melhorar a habilidade de entender diálogos profissionais e cotidianos. Você vai aprender a identificar nuances na comunicação, como como expressar frustração de forma construtiva (veja como Colin fala sobre sua chefe nova) e dar conselhos de maneira empática (Eva sugere abordá-la diretamente). Além disso, o vídeo ajuda a reconhecer a diferença entre tom formal e informal, o que é essencial para se comunicar naturalmente no trabalho e em situações casuais.
Ouvir atentamente: sons conectados e reduções
No diálogo entre Eva e Colin, preste atenção a connected speech (fala conectada), como "she's got" (em vez de "she has got") e "I'd say" (contração de "I would say"). Outro exemplo é "get the hang of", uma expressão coloquial que significa "aprender a fazer algo". Essas reduções e ligações são comuns no inglês falado, e entenderelas vai fazer com que você não perca detalhes em conversas reais. No trecho sobre o cisne, observe como "what happened" é pronunciado quase como "wha' happened" — uma redução típica que facilita a fluência.
Fale como um nativo: ritmo e ênfase
Para praticar o shadowing em inglês (técnica de repetir o que ouve imediatamente), siga o ritmo das falas. Colin fala com um tom um pouco mais lento e ponderado quando expressa sua frustração ("I just don't feel I can work with her"), enquanto Eva usa um tom mais calmo e persuasivo ("she'll soon get the hang of what we're all about"). Ênfase em palavras como "different", "good ideas" e "trivial issue" muda o significado da frase — experimente repetir essas partes, destacando as mesmas palavras, para capturar a intenção por trás da fala. Essa prática, conhecida também como shadowspeak, vai ajudar você a melhorar sua entonação e fluência.
Aprender inglês com vídeos é uma forma divertida e eficaz de mergulhar na língua, e esse trecho é ideal para combinar listening e speaking. Use a técnica do shadowing diariamente, e você vai notar que sua confiança na prática de conversação em inglês aumenta rapidamente!
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verbo — um hábito ou estado do passado que não é mais verdade | used to get · used to wonder · used to be |
| Frases condicionais if + oração, will/would + verbo — uma condição e seu resultado | if I'd known what would happen · if you blew it, you wouldn't get |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | we've had · we've always done · I've never seen |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | be made · was left · been hooked |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
