14
Sounds good, Dad.
15
I'll give you a hand with the salad.
16
Well, in that case, I can do a few chips to go with it then.
17
I know how you never say no to those.
18
Great.
19
By the way, we need some bread.

We should tell mum to get some on her way home.

2. Where did the police find the stolen statue?
36
A small statue of a horse was stolen from the City Museum yesterday afternoon.
37
Museum security cameras showed the thieves driving out of the museum car park at 5pm.
38
Fortunately, police discovered the valuable piece at the entrance to a tunnel on the main city road.
39
After hearing about the robbery on the radio, the manager of a petrol station rang the police to say he'd seen the car.

It seems the thieves threw the statue from the moving car while police were chasing them.

3. How did the mountain climbing group celebrate their success?
49
You know the school climbing group?
50
Well, they managed to reach the top of Mount Azra.
51
Fantastic!
52
Did they put the school flag at the top?
53
They said they would.
54
The head teacher said it was forbidden to use a flag in that way, which seems a shame.
55
So they just ended up taking selfies of themselves.
56
I'd set off loads of fireworks to celebrate if I managed to climb up a mountain like that.
57
But you'd have to carry the fireworks all the way up.
58
True, but it'd be fun.
59
Now listen again.

71
Hi Terry, it's Ben.
72
You asked for some ideas for what you could buy for my sister's birthday present.
73
She's into sport and music, so I wondered about a new sports bag.
74
I've got a feeling she's just got a new one though.
75
There's a novel called A Life in Music I'm sure she'd like, so that's what I'd go for.
76
You mentioned headphones because she's always complaining hers are really old, but I think she'd prefer to choose her own.
77
Anyway, call me back if you've got any questions.
78

87
What's the girl's holiday job?
88
I've got a job working in the school holidays.
89
Cool!
90
Doing what?
91
Well, you know that clothes shop where my mum works?
92
A friend who works with her told her the local hairdressers was looking for someone to help there one day a week.
93
Great!
94
Have you started yet?
95
Yeah.
96
My first day was really crowded with mums bringing their kids for haircuts, so it was incredibly noisy.
97
I enjoyed it, though, and it means I can save more money for new clothes than I ever could from babysitting.
98
Now listen again.
99
I've got a job working in the school holidays.
100
Cool.

6. How are the friends going to get to the cinema?
110
Hi, Anna.
111
I'm really glad you can go to the cinema at the weekend.
112
The film looks great.
113
Shall we cycle?
114
There are lots of places to leave bikes near the cinema.
115
It's a good idea.
116
I rode over some glass the other day though, so I may need a new tyre.
117
I don't think it'd take too long if we went on foot.
118
It's not that far.
119
It'd be better than getting the bus as there are so few at weekends.
120
Sounds okay.
121
Now listen again.
122
Hi Anna.
123
I'm really glad you can go to the cinema at the weekend.

7. What are they going to study in their next lesson?
134
I'm looking forward to reading your essays on zebras next week.
135
Please don't be late handing them in.
136
Africa's full of amazing animals.
137
Did you know there are even penguins there?
138
Before we look at the lives of these creatures in our next class, there's a program on TV tonight that you might be interested in.
139
It's all about giraffes and the environment they live in.
140
Try and watch it if you can.
141
I'll ask you some questions about it at a later date.
142
Now listen again.

For each question, choose the correct answer.
154
8. You will hear two students talking about a history book.
155
What did you think of that history book I lent you?
156
Well, I'm not sure I'll remember much from it.
157
Really?
158
I used it to help me with an essay and I found some parts of it pretty useful.
159
The last two chapters just repeat information from earlier in the book though, so I don't know why they included them.
160
For studying, I prefer books with maps and photos and stuff.
161
That makes it easier to understand.
162
The book you lent me has pages and pages of details that aren't necessary.
163
Some of it could be left out.
164
Now listen again.
165
and pages of details that aren't necessary.
166
Some of it could be left out.
167
9. You will hear two friends talking about their lunch break at school.
168
Not long till lunch break.
169
I heard there'll be some strange new dish.
170
I'd prefer burger and chips.
171
You're so boring.
172
I'm going to try it.
173
I hope there'll be time to play that new game, Starball.
174
I downloaded it onto my phone this morning.
175
Yeah, I want to try it.
176
But don't forget, we've got to get that homework done before the afternoon lesson.
177
If not, we'll be in trouble.
178
True.
179
Okay, let's do that.
180
But then we won't have enough time for games as well.
181
I'm sure we'll feel better after we've done it.
182
Hope it's not too hard.
183
Now listen again.
184
Not long till lunch break.
185
I heard there'll be some strange new dish.

199
10. You will hear two friends talking about a film they have seen.
200
I really enjoyed that film, didn't you?
201
Uh, well, to be honest, I was a bit disappointed.
202
I was expecting something a bit more exciting. Were you?
203
I thought you were going to say the actors were awful.
204
You did last time.
205
I didn't think much of them, actually.
206
What did you like so much about the film?
207
Well, it was funny how easy it was to predict how it would all finish.
208
But apart from that, it was great.
209
You know, action films are more my thing than comedies, and the special effects were fantastic.
210
Now listen again.
211
I really enjoyed that film, didn't you?
212
Err, well, to be honest, I was a bit disappointed.
213
I was expecting something a bit more exciting. Were you?
214

219
You know, action films are more my thing than comedies, and the special effects were fantastic.
220
11. You will hear two friends talking about a school trip.
221
I really enjoyed the trip to the museum yesterday, didn't you?
222
It was great once we got there, but it just took a long time to get everybody ready and onto the coach.
223
Things are usually better planned than that.
224
I didn't notice, but half a day was quite short, as there was so much to see.
225
We really needed to spend the whole day there, especially as the entrance fee was quite high.
226
I didn't think the price was too bad, but I was a bit disappointed that I ended up only seeing half the space exhibition.
227
Now listen again.
228
I really enjoyed the trip to the museum yesterday, didn't you?
229
It was great once we got there, but it just took a long time to get everybody ready and onto the coach.

233

234
Twelve.
235
You will hear a boy telling his friend about a science lesson with a new teacher.
236
We had that new science teacher for our lesson today, Mrs. Jones.
237
Oh yes, I've heard she's pretty good.
238
What did you think of her?
239
Yeah, good.
240
Our usual teacher's off sick this week.
241
He always shows us cool experiments and stuff.
242
It's a lot of fun.
243
Mrs. Jones had a different style.
244
I was impressed by her knowledge.
245
You can ask questions about anything and she explains the answers really clearly.
246
I enjoy my normal lessons more though, I think.
247
I'm really into science anyway, especially when we get to do experiments in the lab.
248
Now listen again.
249
We had that new science teacher for our lesson today, Mrs. Jones.
250
Oh yes, I've heard she's pretty good.
251
What did you think of her?
252
Yeah, good.

260
I'm really into science anyway, especially when we get to do experiments in the lab.
261
13. You will hear two friends talking about where to have a party.
262
We need to think about where to have our end of year party.
263
I think it'd be good to find somewhere we can play football and cricket.
264
There's only the sports club where you can do that, but it isn't that easy to get to, unless we ask our parents for lifts.
265
Why don't we keep it simple and go to the park?
266
Good idea.
267
I don't think anyone lives too far away, so we'll be able to walk there.
268
It's not huge, but there's enough space for us all and we can chat, play music and have some snacks.
269
Now listen again.
270
so we'll be able to walk there.
271
It's not huge, but there's enough space for us all and we can chat, play music and have some snacks.
272
That is the end of part two.
273
Now look at part three.
274
For each question, write the correct answer in the gap.
275
Write one or two words, or a number, or a date, or a time.
276
Look at questions 14 to 19 now.
277
You have 20 seconds.
278
You will hear some information about a talk at school by a writer called Marcia Wilson.
279
Okay, everyone.
280
The writer Marcia Wilson is coming to the school to give a talk next week.
281
It's been hard to find a free day.
282
Marcia couldn't come on Friday, and some classes are away on a trip on Wednesday.
283
So Thursday, when the whole school's here, is the day we've arranged it for.
284
Many of you enjoyed her last book, The Castle.
285
I've seen lots of you reading it.
286
And now, in her latest novel, The River, you can read all about a mystery set on a boat.
287
Marcia's going to tell us about it, and you can ask her questions.
288
Because there'll be so many students at the talk, some of you will have to bring extra chairs from the school library into the hall.
289
Your class teacher will tell you whether you need to collect one.
290
Marcia will be ready to begin her talk after our 11 o'clock morning break.
291
She'll start at half past, so please make sure you're back inside ready to listen in plenty of time.
292
The talk with questions will last an hour and a half, and then you can go to lunch as normal.
293
There'll be the chance to buy a copy of Marcia's new book.
294
It usually costs £12, but on the day of the talk, you can buy a signed copy for £8.75.
295
That's a great discount, I'm sure you'll agree.
296
Now, for more information about Marcia and her work, there's a really good website you can look at called youthlit.uk.
297
I'll spell that.
298
Y-O-U-T-H-L-I-T dot UK.
299
So, are there any questions?
300
Now listen again.
301
Okay, everyone.
302
The writer Marcia Wilson is coming to the school to give a talk next week.
303
It's been hard to find a free day.

322
That is the end of part three.
323
Now look at part 4.
324
For each question, choose the correct answer.
325
Look at questions 20 to 25 now.
326
You have 45 seconds.
327
Thank you.
328
You will hear an interview with a girl called Anna Taylor, who is a champion cyclist.
329
Anna Taylor is a teenager and already a champion cyclist.
330
Anna, when did you first get into cycling?
331
Only a few years ago.
332
I've always been keen on sports.
333
I've tried everything from running to ice skating, but I never tried to be good at anything in particular.
334
After I went to support a friend cycling in a competition, I decided to try it myself and loved it.
335
Since then, it's been a big part of my life.
336
Is it hard to practice cycling and do your schoolwork?
337
Studying's difficult when there's a big competition coming up.
338
I still have to attend all my lessons, and the teachers are very strict about giving in homework on time.
339
I managed to get it done somehow.
340
I have cycle practice in the afternoons after school, so then I have to work till bedtime once I've had dinner with my family.
341
You do a lot of track cycling in a stadium.
342
Tell me about that.
343
We cycle around a special indoor track, and the fastest person wins.
344
When cyclists race on the road, speed is important too, of course, and being strong is also essential.
345
I think more skills are needed for track cycling.
346
Watching one another and waiting for a chance to move to the front.
347
It takes a lot of experience to get it right.
348
Do you like cycling with teammates in road races?
349
Yes, they're a great group of people, and we all have different styles.
350
When things go wrong, it's not always easy to see the funny side, so it's nice to know the others are finding it as stressful as I am.
351
We encourage each other.
352
I'm beginning to understand just how important that is.
353
How was your last road race?
354
My team actually came second.
355
But just before the start of the race, I had to make a quick phone call, and when I'd finished the call, 200 cyclists were racing past me.
356
I was shocked to see it had already started.
357
I ran to my bike, and then I saw my teammate had a tyre problem.
358
But despite all that, things didn't go too badly in the end.
359
What's your advice for anyone wanting to become a champion cyclist?
360
Well, if all I did was cycling, life would be extremely difficult.
361
It's a good idea to have interests other than sport.
362
I don't want competing in races to be everything.
363
When things go wrong in training, you have to remind yourself there are more things to life than winning competitions.
364
Now listen again.
365
Anna Taylor's a teenager and already a champion cyclist.
366
Anna, when did you first get into cycling?

- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: petrol /ˈpɛt.ɹəl/, stressful /ˈstɹɛsfəl/, tunnel /ˈtʌn(ə)l/
- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: homework /ˈhoʊmˌwɝk/, haircut /ˈhɛə(ɹ)kʌt/, headphones /ˈhɛdfoʊnz/

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.
