Part 1.

You'll hear three different extracts.

For questions 1 to 6, choose the answer A, B or C, which fits best according to what you hear.

There are two questions for each extract.

Extract 1.

You hear two friends talking about what it's like being an identical twin.

Now look at questions 1 and 2.

I can't understand why anyone moans about being a twin.

I love it.

Me too.

Everyone thinks you're automatic soulmates, and there is something in that.

I know twins who are chalk and cheese and don't get on great, but do admit sharing an irreplaceable bond.

The flip side's the absence of individuality.

Though we've chosen very different paths in life, my brother and I are always the twins, and our success or failures treated jointly.

I've never consciously competed with him, but I've always pushed myself to achieve things on my own merits.

As kids, it was fun.

Teachers were always mistaking my sister for me, and I let them.

I enjoyed strangers' reactions, too.

You know, like, we were these rare creatures, extra deserving of attention.

My sister hated it, though, and was very direct in letting people know.

Can't say anyone fussed over me.

But it was useful blaming my brother for things.

I can't believe how often I got away with it.

We couldn't hide anything from each other, though, so we always knew what the other had done, evening it out.

We know one another inside out.

I feel like I'm transparent whenever he's around.

Extract 2 You hear two friends discussing sleep and dreams.

Now look at questions 3 and 4.

Hey John, did you see that programme on dreams?

Yeah, fascinating.

Especially the bit about remembering them.

I've always been able to do that, even as a kid.

When I dream, I could do fantastic things, you know, like flying.

Me too.

And I love talking about dreams.

On holiday, when I can lie in and get a bit more snooze time, my recall's even clearer.

No wonder the families sigh when I start going on at breakfast time.

Mind you, it's hardly exceptional.

Some people say they never remember dreams, but the majority, when asked, say they can recall them, even if the memory doesn't last.

I read somewhere that what side you sleep on influences your dreams.

It isn't conclusive though, so I'm still unconvinced.

I often find myself inexplicably irritated some mornings by someone I know, like a colleague.

I always wonder why, till suddenly remembering they'd behaved badly in my previous night's dream.

Even then I can't shake off the feeling.

Weird, isn't it?

And nobody's explained why some people get repeated dreams, have they?

It must be so strange waking up and realising your dream was the same as one you'd had before.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Extract 3 You hear two friends discussing their visit to an exhibition of paintings by 17th century artists.

Now look at questions 5 and 6. That was interesting.

I mean, not many works by the more famous painters have survived.

So there were a number of paintings by their less well-known contemporaries, weren't there?

But I felt there was a point to those, other than bumping up the admission fee.

They normally seemed to be there just to pad out an exhibition.

Hmm.

And it made us look more closely at their paintings rather

than just rushing past them to get to the works by great masters and dismissing them as lesser pieces.

I think that long-held view has been cast into doubt.

And it's interesting, isn't it, to think that largely domestic scenes were once regarded as vulgar

and trivial compared with commissioned portraits of royalty that previous artists had traditionally churned out.

Yet these scenes of everyday moments are actually more complex than a superficial glance suggests.

100

What people don't realise is that once you look more closely, these paintings will really reward your efforts.

101

Mmm, the drama's implied rather than shown.

102

But you're in no doubt as to what the artist meant.

103

I found the whole thing absolutely fascinating. That was interesting.

104

119

That's the end of part one.

120

Now turn to part two.

Para quem é esse vídeo?

Se você está no nível intermediário-avançado e quer se preparar para testes como o CAE, esse vídeo é perfeito! Ele ajuda a treinar a compreensão de diálogos cotidianos e a melhorar habilidades de fala, especialmente com a técnica de shadow speak (imitar a pronúncia e intonação em tempo real). Ideal para quem quer dominar conversas naturais e se sentir mais confiante ao falar inglês.

Palavras e expressões para roubar (e usar!)

O diálogo tem expressões super úteis. Veja algumas:

Chalk and cheese: Expressão que significa "muito diferentes". Exemplo: "Eles são gêmeos, mas são chalk and cheese!"
Flip side: O lado oposto. "A vida de gêmeo tem vantagens, mas o flip side é a falta de individualidade."
On my own merits: Por meus próprios méritos. "Eu quero ser reconhecido on my own merits, não por ser gêmeo."

Essas frases tornam sua fala mais nativa — use-as no seu shadowing em inglês para fixá-las!

Como melhorar a pronúncia com esse vídeo

O foco aqui é a intonação natural e a ligação de palavras. Os falantes usam uma cadência suave, especialmente nas frases longas. Para praticar, use o shadowspeak: reproduza o vídeo, pause e imite exatamente o tom, a velocidade e as pausas. Preste atenção em palavras como "irreplaceable" (a pronúncia de "ir" e "re" é suave) e "transparent" (a sílaba tônica é "par"). Essa técnica é uma das melhores formas de melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e se sentir mais confortável na fala.

Lembre: a prática diária com shadowing faz toda a diferença. Pequenos treinos de 10 minutos por dia vão te ajudar a internalizar a linguagem e falar com mais fluidez. Vamos começar?

Gramática neste vídeo

As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:

Estrutura	No vídeo
Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora	we've chosen · I've always pushed · I've always been
Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz	has been cast

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.
