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.

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.

That's the end of part one.

120

Now turn to part two.

FOR YOU

Кому подходит это видео?

Это видео идеально подойдет для тех, кто готовится к экзаменам CAE или хочет улучшить понимание разговорного английского. Уровень сложности средне-высокий, но диалоги естественные и близки к реальной жизни, что делает их отличным материалом для практики. Если ты стремишься научиться распознавать тонкости речи, запоминать фразы и улучшить произношение английского, то это отличный выбор для тренировок, особенно с использованием техники shadow speech.

Фразы и идиомы, которые стоит запомнить

В диалоге есть несколько ярких выражений, которые пригодятся в повседневной речи:

Chalk and cheese — «белый и черный», то есть совершенно разные. Например: «Они близнецы, но как белый и черный».
Flip side — обратная сторона медали. «Преимущество быть близнецом — общая связь, а flip side — отсутствие индивидуальности».
On my own merits — по своим собственным заслугам. «Я хочу добиться успеха on my own merits, а не благодаря брату».
Knew inside out — знать наизусть, досконально. «Мы друг друга knew inside out, скрыть ничего не можем».

Как улучшить произношение: фокус на акценте

Чтобы научиться говорить так же естественно, как участники диалога, попробуй технику Shadowing английский (или shadow speak). Сначала слушай короткие отрывки, затем повторяй их сразу за говорящим, копируя интонацию и ритм. Обратите внимание на:

Слабые формы: например, «there is something in that» произносится как «ðeə ɪz ˈsʌmθɪŋ ɪn ðæt», с редуцированием «is» до «ɪz».
Интонацию в вопросах и выражениях эмоций: когда речь идет о радости от быть близнецом, интонация поднимается, а о проблемах — спадает.
Связи между словами: «I can't understand why» становится «aɪ kɑːnt ˌʌndəˈstænd waɪ», с плавным переходом между звуками.

Пractise regularly, and soon you'll notice progress! Помни, shadow speech — это эффективный способ не только улучшить произношение, но и научиться мыслить на английском.

Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает	has been cast

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
