1
Now turn to part 4.
2
Questions 20 to 25.
3
Look at the six sentences for this part.
4
You will hear a conversation between a girl, Kate, and a boy, George.
5
Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect.
6
If it is correct, put a tick in the box under A for yes.
7
If it is not correct, put a tick in the box under B for no.
8
You now have 20 seconds to look at the questions for part 4.
9
Now we are ready to start.
10
Listen carefully.
11
You will hear the recording twice.
12
I don't remember much of that lecture.
13
The doctor gave me this medicine for my cough, but I don't like it.
14
It seems to make me awfully sleepy, and I can't follow my lectures.
15
Well, if you don't take it, none of us will be able to follow our lectures.
16
All we'll hear is you coughing.
17
Oh, dear.
18
Do you think I'll annoy everybody?
19
Yes.
20
You could study at home for a couple of days.
21
You know, have some time off until it gets better.
22
Oh, I couldn't do that.
23
I'd miss too much.
24
And I get really uncomfortable when I have a lot of catching up to do.
25
Last year I missed a whole week when I fell off my bike and had that enormous bandage on my hand.
26
It took me ages to do all the work when I came back.
27
Oh, you worry too much.
28
You can work at home.
29
Just get Mr Grey to tell you which parts of the course book we'll be covering and read it yourself at home.
30
All he does is go through the book anyway.
31
You might as well do it yourself.
32
Oh, that's a bit unfair.
33
I think Mr Grey's really nice.
34
He's always willing to stay behind after class if you don't understand something.
35
Being really nice and never in a hurry doesn't make him a good lecturer.
36
Anyway, I think you should look after your health first, and ours.
37
If we sit in that small, hot room with you for the next three days, we'll all have your cough by the end of it.
38
Perhaps you're right.
39
I don't care about myself, but I wouldn't like other people to blame me for their illnesses.
40
I have got a bit of a temperature now, too.
41
So maybe I'll go and see Mr Grey after lunch and tell him I won't be at this afternoon's lecture.
42
Or the next two.
43
Come on, you've got to get better.
44
I suppose you're right.
45
Then we can all go out as we planned at the weekend.
46
OK, then.
47
I don't want to miss that.
48
And I do feel ill.
49
Now listen again.
50
I don't remember much of that lecture.
51
The doctor gave me this medicine for my cough, but I don't like it.
52
It seems to make me awfully sleepy, and I can't follow my lectures.

54

55

56

57
Yes.
58

60

86
And I do feel ill.
87
That is the end of part four.
88
You now have six minutes to check and copy your answers onto the answer sheet.
89
That is the end of the test.

Por que praticar fala com esse vídeo?

O diálogo entre Kate e George é uma oportunidade perfeita para treinar a compreensão oral e a fala em contextos reais. A conversa trata de situações cotidianas, como lidar com uma gripe, pedir licença à escola e se preocupar com os outros, o que torna o aprendizado prático e aplicável. Além disso, a linguagem usada é coloquial, ideal para quem quer se familiarizar com expressões naturais do inglês. Praticar com esse vídeo ajuda a melhorar a fluência, a intonação e a capacidade de responder rapidamente, essenciais para exames como o PET.

Gramática e expressões no contexto

Aqui estão 4 estruturas chave do diálogo:

  • "It seems to make me awfully sleepy": A estrutura "it seems to + verbo" é usada para expressar uma impressão. No exemplo, Kate fala sobre o efeito da medicina. Essa forma é comum em conversas informais.
  • "I'd miss too much": O contração "I'd" (I would) é usado para expressar uma consequência hipotética. Kate usa isso para dizer que faltar a aula a faria perder muito conteúdo.
  • "You might as well do it yourself": A expressão "might as well" sugere que uma ação é a melhor opção, mesmo que não seja ideal. George usa isso para convencer Kate a estudar em casa.
  • "I don't care about myself, but I wouldn't like other people to blame me": A estrutura "wouldn't like + pessoa + to + verbo" expressa uma preferência negativa. Kate mostra que se preocupa com a opinião dos outros.

Armadilhas comuns de pronúncia

Algumas palavras no vídeo podem ser desafiadoras. Veja como evitá-las:

  • "Awfully": A pronúncia correta é /ˈɔːfli/ (ouf-li), mas muitos aprendizes confundem com "awful" (horrível). Lembre-se de que "awfully" é um advérbio que significa "muito".
  • "Enormous": A sílaba tônica está na segunda parte: /ɪˈnɔːməs/ (i-nor-mus). Evite colocar o acento na primeira sílaba.
  • "Bandage": A pronúncia é /ˈbændɪdʒ/ (ban-dij), com o "d" suave. Não pronuncie como "bandagem" em português, pois a terminação é diferente.

Para treinar essas pronúncias, use um shadowing site ou pratique o shadowing em inglês repetindo as frases do vídeo. Ferramentas como o shadowspeaks ou o shadow speak ajudam a imitar a intonação e o ritmo dos falantes nativos, o que é essencial para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês.

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.
