Look at the six sentences for this part.

You will hear a conversation between a boy, Marcus, and a girl, Catherine, about their homework.
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 four.
9
Now we are ready to start.
10
Listen carefully.
11
You will hear the recording twice.
12
I feel awful.
13
I've got two lots of homework to do today, and all I want to do after school is relax.
14
It's not fair.
15
Of course you've got a lot.
16
You didn't do any yesterday, did you?
17
No, I didn't.
18
I had football practice, and after that I was just too tired for anything else.
19
Well, maybe you could do more homework at the weekends, so you have time for football and other things during the week.
20
go out with my family.
21
On Sunday we went to the Science Museum.
22
It was great.
23
I wouldn't want to miss doing things like that just because I've got homework.
24
Actually, you're quite lucky.
25
I never do anything like that.
26
Homework isn't everything.
27
I'm sure you learnt just as much there.
28
Yes, but I don't suppose the teachers will be interested in that.
29
I've got today's maths to do, and I expect it'll take me hours.
30
I tell you what, you can come round to my house this afternoon and we'll work on it together.
31
I don't know.
32
You're really good at maths.
33
You'll just finish it quickly and I can't do that.
34
It's not a competition, is it?
35
It's more important that we both finish it, and working together will be much more fun.
36
But if I don't do it by myself, I could be in trouble with the teacher.
37
Well, we'll tell her you're finding it difficult, and so I'm going to try and help you understand it.
38
I'm sure she won't mind that.
39
Alright then.
40
Thank you.
41
Perhaps I'll feel better about maths if you help me.
42
'At the moment, I still don't know where to begin.' Don't worry.
43
We'll get there.
44

Цели разговорной речи в этом клипе

Этот видеоклип идеально подходит для тех, кто хочет улучшить навык разговора на уровне B1, особенно в повседневных ситуациях. Диалог между Маркусом и Катериной тренирует умение выражать эмоции (например, раздражение от долгого домашнего задания), предлагать помощь и убежать собеседника — именно те навыки, которые нужны для естественной коммуникации. Работа с таким материалом помогает достичь важного этапа: говорить не только правильно, но и убедительно, передавая тон и чувства.

Банк фраз

  • "I feel awful" — "Я чувствую себя ужасно" (отличное выражение для описания плохого состояния).
  • "It's not fair" — "Это несправедливо" (полезно в разговорах о неудобствах).
  • "I tell you what" — "Слушай" (захватывающий старт для предложения решения).
  • "It's not a competition" — "Это не соревнование" (отличная фраза для успокоения собеседника).
  • "I'm sure she won't mind" — "Я уверен, ей не будет расстраиваться" (уверенное выражение поддержки).

Эти фразы можно использовать в разных ситуациях: от разговоров с друзьями до обсуждений с преподавателем. Запомните их, и вы будете говорить более естественно!

Исправляем слабые места

Основная сложность в этом диалоге — ритм разговорной речи. Английский язык быстрый, с редкими паузами, и многие начинающие теряются. Чтобы справиться с этим, используйте метод shadow speech (или shadow speak): повторяйте за говорящим сразу же, стараясь копировать не только слова, но и интонацию, скорость и ударения. Это поможет улучшить произношение английского и привыкнуть к естественному темпу. Учить английский с YouTube — это отличная идея, и этот клип идеально подходит для тренировок: диалог короткий, но насыщен эмоциями, что облегчает воспроизведение. Проведите 5–10 минут каждый день на shadow speech, и скоро заметите прогресс: ваша речь станет более плавной, а произношение — чище. Не бойтесь ошибок: даже маленькие тренировки приносят большие результаты!

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.
