she's an intelligent actor and everything she does seems so effortless as i've got such a small part in the drama, I get to stand around a lot during the scenes,

20
Question two.
21
You hear two friends talking about a colleague.
22
I don't know how he does it.
23
He gets into the office before everyone else in the morning and he's also always the last to leave.
24
He must be exhausted all the time.
25
He seems pretty fit, though.
26
And whenever I see him at the weekends, he looks relaxed and happy.
27
Maybe he just likes getting everything done before he goes home.
28
Yeah, maybe you're right.
29
But he earns just the same as we do and that's not much.
30
It's not too bad, though, is it?
31
And I think he'll be promoted before any of the rest of us are.
32
He's obviously very keen.
33
There's no denying that.

45
Question 3.
46
You hear an author talking about his new book.
47
Thanks for inviting me to come on the programme and talk about my new book.
48
I thought the book might never happen when I was sitting at my desk day after day.
49
I wish the words would simply flow out like they did when I was writing my other books.
50
Sometimes I wondered if I'd ever get it finished.
51
Of course, I know it's unlikely to become a bestseller, but I hope that my loyal readers will enjoy it.
52
They'll recognize some of the characters from my first novel.
53
Older and wiser, at least in some cases.

61
Question 4.
62
You hear two friends talking about something they saw on TV.
63
It's funny really, but I just didn't get it.
64
Everyone was talking about it, but I just thought it was silly.
65
You mean you wanted more information?
66
Exactly.
67
I mean, what's the point of something like that?
68
It didn't even make me laugh.
69
Oh, come on.
70
You have to admit, it was pretty funny.
71
Well, I didn't think so.
72
And it was annoying the way everybody whistled the tune all the time.
73
Why on earth would that make me buy something?
74
I think you're too serious sometimes.
75
It was just a bit of fun.
76
If you want to find out more, then look on the internet.
77
It's funny, really, but I just didn't get it.

91
Question 5 You hear an office manager talking about her work.
92
You know how it is.
93
As soon as you've finished one project, you have to get started on something else, and it's often something completely different.
94
I don't find that a problem, though, and I enjoy the fact that I can get it done effectively.
95
After all, I've been in this job for a long time, so I think I can say I know what I'm doing.
96
I wish that was true of the people i'm working with i reckon
97
if i didn't keep checking they'd never get on with things
98
though i guess i'm not feeling very motivated about this project either
99
you know how it is as soon as you've finished one project you have to get started on something else
100

Question 6.
107
You overhear two friends talking in a restaurant.
108
delicious soup you think
109
so it's a bit hot isn't it what do you mean hot too many spices
110
or the temperature it burned my mouth well you should have
111
had something else there was plenty to choose from there may have been for you
112
but don't forget I'm a vegetarian there wasn't much there for me
113
but at least we haven't paid a fortune for it hmm I couldn't even make it at home for that price, but I still think we should go somewhere else next time.
114
Mmm, delicious soup!
115
You think so?
116
It's a bit hot, isn't it?
117
What do you mean hot?
118
Too many spices or the temperature?
119
It burned my mouth.
120
Well, you should have had something else.
121
There was plenty to choose from.
122
There may have been for you, but don't forget, I'm a vegetarian.
123
There wasn't much there for me.
124
But at least we haven't paid a fortune for it.
125
Hmm.
126
I couldn't even make it at home for that price, but I still think we should go somewhere else next time.
127
Question 7.
128
You hear a woman talking about her neighbour's holiday photographs.
129
They always invite us round for dinner after they've been on holiday and show us all the photos they've taken.
130
I didn't like the dinner much, but of course I didn't say anything.
131
They go to some interesting places, and they actually do pretty well considering they don't have expensive equipment or any training as photographers.
132
I wish I could remember the name of the place they went to this summer.
133
That's really annoying.
134
I should have written it down.
135
I'll have to ask them next time I see them.

143
Question 8.
144
You hear two friends talking about a concert they've just been to.
145
I really enjoyed that, didn't you?
146
Despite the technical problems at the beginning.
147
Wonderful!
148
Spanish flamenco music just makes you want to get up and dance.
149
I noticed you standing up at one stage.
150
Yeah, but that was to get a better view.
151
Ah yes, pity we were at the back.
152
But it was all that was available when I bought the tickets on Friday.
153
I know, but next time we must book earlier.
154
It was very hot in there.
155
Did that bother you?
156
I just kept thinking it was like summer in Spain.
157
I loved all the singing and the rhythm of the sticks they beat on the floor.
158
Me too.
159
I really enjoyed that, didn't you?

173

174
That is the end of part one.
175
Now turn to part two.
176
You will hear a man called Henry Lee giving a talk about the first time he went skydiving.
177
For questions 9 to 18, complete the sentences with a word or short phrase.
178
You now have 45 seconds to look at part 2.
179
Thank you.
180
Hello, my name is Henry Lee and I've been skydiving for several years now, but I'm here today to tell you about my first experience.
181
The idea of skydiving is that you jump out of a plane wearing a parachute, but the parachute doesn't open immediately.
182
I'd always wanted to learn to skydive, and when I was twenty, a friend bought me a skydiving lesson for my birthday.
183
Now, my birthday is in December, when the weather isn't right for this type of sport, so I decided to wait a bit until the weather improved around March.
184
Anyway, as it turned out, it wasn't until May that I finally got round to it.
185
I arrived at the skydiving club for my lesson, and found that there were around seven other people who were jumping that day.
186
We all had to sign a number of forms, and we looked at a short video about basic technique before having a presentation about safety.
187
Then, I was introduced to David, my instructor.
188
As I was a beginner, I wouldn't be jumping out of the plane alone.
189
I would be attached to David, and he would be in total control of the jump.
190
David gave me most of the stuff I would need to wear.
191
Some overalls to wear over my clothes, and a pair of goggles, and, crucially, a helmet.
192
I didn't need to have a parachute, as David would wear one.
193
There were thirteen of us on the plane.
194
Four of us were beginners with our instructors and three solo jumpers
195
and two cameramen who would film the dive for the club.
196
It was an old cargo plane, without windows, and interestingly there were no seats, just some metal boxes which were normally used for luggage,
197
so it was quite uncomfortable.
198
The plane trip was fine, and during it I asked David how long he'd been skydiving.
199
He said he'd started about three years ago and had 700 jumps to his name.
200
Other guys on the plane, though, had done over a thousand.
201
When we were a few minutes away from jumping, I attached myself to David, who was wearing a system of belts called a harness.
202
I also put on a pair of gloves, which I'd been told to bring with me.
203
I'd been very excited when we took off, and I thought I would feel absolutely terrified when the plane door was opened, but actually I was completely calm.
204
Once we reached the right height above the ground, the pilot cried out, door, and the more advanced divers just jumped out of the plane.
205
When I reached the door, I sat down in it and looked out over the ground below.
206
I could see farmer's fields and a large house.
207
What caught my eye was a river which looked silver rather than bright blue or dark grey, winding its way across the countryside.
208
David and I were the last people out of the plane.
209
We jumped with me facing downwards attached to David's body.
210
They were about forty or fifty seconds until he opened the parachute.
211
The landing was a bit different from what I thought it would be.
212
I thought you'd hit the ground hard and fast and have to try hard not to break a leg.
213
My landing was actually more like a feather falling to earth, and I didn't realise I was on the ground until I saw the parachute all around me.
214
Everyone who completes the jump successfully is given a bag which contains a certificate, at a discount voucher, and a photograph of their jump.
215
Only when I got home did I realise there was a t -shirt at the bottom of the bag.
216
That was a nice surprise.
217
I put my name down on the club notice board to have more lessons.
218
My first skydiving experience was one that I'll never forget, and I'd recommend the sport to anyone.
219
Now you'll hear part two again.
220

244
But actually, I was completely calm.
245
Once we reached the right height above the ground, the pilot cried out, Door!
246
And the more advanced divers just jumped out of the plane.
247
When I reached the door, I sat down in it and looked out over the ground below.
248
I could see farmers' fields and a large house.

262
My first skydiving experience was one that I'll never forget, and I'd recommend the sport to anyone.
263
That is the end of part two.
264
Now turn to part three.
265
You will hear five short extracts in which students are talking about the experience of living and studying away from home.
266
For questions 19 to 23, choose from the list A to H what each student says.
267
Use the letters only once.
268
There are three extra letters which you do not need to use.
269
You now have 30 seconds to look at part three.
270
Speaker 1 Coming from a mountain village about 60 kilometres away and not knowing anyone in the city, I had no choice really.
271
I had to ask for a place in a college residence.
272
I knew it wouldn't be easy making new friends, but I was assured I'd be with my classmates.
273
It was a surprise to find the other guys in my block were all studying different things.
274
Actually, though, we were all the same age and into sports and stuff, so we got on really well from day one.
275
It was a pity we all went our separate ways after that first year together.
276
I should have made more effort to stay in touch.' Speaker 2 I wanted to study fashion,
277
so I had to come to the capital, but it was hard leaving my friends back home.
278
My older sister studied here too.
279
She made friends really quickly because she's really into sports and joined loads of clubs.
280
But I've always been quite shy, so I didn't do that.
281
Fortunately, the college accommodation office found me a room in a residence, and I got friendly with the other girls living there.
282
I don't know how I'd have got on at a big university, but here everyone knows each other, so you get to know people you wouldn't normally have that much in common with.
283
It's nice.
284
Speaker 3 In my first few weeks here, I came down with a heavy cold.
285
That meant I couldn't go out much.
286
I'd been put in a student residence with a bunch of younger guys who were all studying theatre, so as a scientist, I had nothing in common with them.
287
They weren't even into football.
288
So I really needed to get to know my classmates better, yet there I was, stuck in my room, coughing and sneezing.
289
I spent a lot of time chatting to friends back home on the internet.
290
Anyway, in a big college like this, you eventually have to make friends.
291
So it all sorted itself out in the end.
292
Speaker 4 I was put in a student residence at first with people I didn't get along with that well.
293
I mean, we didn't fall out or anything, but I didn't hang out with them either.
294
I don't know what I'd have done if I hadn't signed up for volleyball training with the college team.
295
It's a whole lot easier making friends with people who share your interests than with people who share your kitchen.
296
The only downside for me in that first term was
297
that I spent too much time on court and not enough in the library.
298
I don't regret it, but had to make up for lost time later on.
299
Speaker 5 The people I hung out with in the first few weeks didn't become close friends, actually.
300
We were just people who happened to be thrown together in the same residence, but it was good to have someone to chat to when I got in from lectures.
301
We still play tennis occasionally, and I get invited to their parties, but I soon moved out to go live with some guys on my course.
302
That was a big mistake, actually.
303
With friends at school, it was great to study together in the evenings, but I soon found that the last thing I wanted to talk about when I got back from lectures was economics.
304
Now you'll hear part three again.
305
Speaker one.
306
Coming from a mountain village about 60 kilometres away and not knowing anyone in the city, I had no choice really.

339
That's the end of part three.
340
Now turn to part four.
341
You will hear an interview with a student athlete called Chelsea Matthews, who plays soccer for her college.
342
For questions 24 to 30, choose the best answer, A, B or C.
343
You now have one minute to look at part four.
344
Thank you.
345
Thank you.
346
Chelsea, what impact does playing soccer have on your life?
347
For the past two years, I've played soccer for my college, and we train extremely hard almost every day during the year.
348
We can only keep up by doing extra work at home.
349
We travel by bus for hours and hours, missing out on typical college events, and we sometimes spend our precious vacation time training abroad.
350
But I love it.
351
How young were you when you started playing soccer?
352
Six, and I always dreamt of playing in college.
353
By the time I was 16, I'd picked out my college and started my training.
354
While other teenagers were focused on parties, I was already planning my life as a college student -athlete.
355
It has to be done that early or you'll miss
356
so much and won't get through all the formalities that make you eligible to play.
357
The one thing sports associations love more than trophies is paperwork.
358
When does your year start at college?
359
Well, because of where soccer falls in the school year, August to October, I have to arrive at my college about a month before classes start.
360
Are you happy about that?
361
Yes, I'm used to it.
362
On August 1st, me and my teammates return and get straight back into school mode.
363
By August 2nd, I'll be up at 6 a .m to start my training.
364
Every college sport has a two -week preseason, which is tough but essential.
365
We run, lift, pass, kick, run more, and basically kill ourselves.
366
Our coach is good, though, and keeps us motivated in spite of the pain.
367
Do you have time to have some fun after training?
368
I don't know about other sports teams, but we do have a little fun as a team after workouts.
369
There's no partying in preseason, though.
370
By the time 7 p .m rolls around, we're all so weary.
371
We just get in bed, crash, and know no more until the alarm goes off.
372
Movies are out, and if it weren't for the Internet, we'd never even get to watch TV.
373
And it only gets harder once school starts.
374
Are you allowed to miss class?
375
During the season, thanks to away games, we frequently miss class.
376
Other students see us athletes going up to professors, saying we'll be away, and they're probably jealous of the number of excused absences we get.
377
But honestly, missing class is the worst part of being an athlete.
378
First, our grades have to remain high, or we could lose our place on the team.
379
Second, the head of faculty allows a maximum number of hours we can take off class, and it's not that many.
380
How have you personally managed?
381
I basically taught myself business calculus in my freshman year
382
because I missed some classes due to away games
383
and had to be able to understand what was going on when I got back.
384
You can trust me on this.
385
Trying to read, write, calculate, or draw on a moving bus with 30 other girls at
386
1030 at night isn't the best way to get a grade A.
387
And because of all those absences, when I get sick, which happens when you're on the road so much, I still have to go to class.
388
In conclusion, any regrets?
389
It's hard work to try and balance school, soccer, and a social life.
390
But I love playing soccer, and I love my team.
391
It's 30 girls who all want the same thing, to win.
392
We work together both off
393
and on the field we run together we cheer each other
394
on we help each other with studies my team are my best friends I chose this life
395
and it's given me ambition shown me I must try to be the best academically athletically and personally
396
now you'll hear part four again
397

Сценарий: повседневные разговоры в разных контекстах
Видео предлагает практику понимания английского в реальных ситуациях: молодой актер говорит о коллеге, друзья обсуждают работника, автор рассказывает о новой книге. Эти диалоги отражают повседневную речь — с эмоциями, повторами и естественной скоростью, что идеально подходит для подготовки к экзамену B2 First (FCE) и улучшения навыков аудирования.
Полезные выражения и словосочетания
- Everything she does seems so effortless — «Все, что она делает, кажется так легким». Выражение описывает мастерство, когда сложное кажется простым.
- He's obviously very keen — «Определенно, он очень увлеченным». Хорошо подходит для характеристики человека, преданного делу.
- The words would simply flow out — «Слова просто текли». Используйте, чтобы описать легкость в написании или говорении.
- Take one's time to say lines — «Не спешить говорить реплики». Показывает умение управлять скоростью речи.
- Get everything done before going home — «Сделать все до ухода домой». Описывает привычку закончить дела сразу.
Ваше задание: практика shadowing
Shadowing — это отличный способ улучшить произношение английского и интонацию. Выберите один из диалогов (например, речь актера или разговор друзей) и повторите его за говорящим, стараясь совпадать по скорости, темпу и эмоциям. Сначала делайте это медленно, разбивая речь на фразы, а потом попробуйте следовать естественной скорости. Для тренировки можно использовать shadowing site или записать себя, чтобы сравнить с оригиналом. Помните: регулярная практика shadow speak поможет вам чувствовать язык как родной. Учите английский по видео — это эффективно и интересно!
Грамматика в этом видео
Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:
| Конструкция | В видео |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect Continuous have/has been + -ing — действие началось раньше и продолжается | i've only been acting · I've been skydiving |
| Условные предложения if + предложение, will/would + глагол — условие и его результат | if i didn't keep checking they'd never · if I didn't keep checking, they'd never · if it weren't for the Internet, we'd never |
| Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас | you've finished · I've been · haven't paid |
| Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает | be promoted · was introduced · would be attached |
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.
