1
Now turn to part four.
2
You'll hear a radio interview with a young tennis player, Alice Winters, and her coach, Bruce Gray.
3
For questions 24 to 30, choose the best answer, A, B or C.
4
You now have one minute in which to look at part four.
5
Thank you.
6
Thank you.
7
In some sports, the players seem to be getting younger and younger.
8
My guests today are 14 -year -old Alice Winters and her coach, Bruce Gray.
9
Alice, as National Junior Tennis Champion, has been described as the most talented young player for years.
10
Alice, Bruce, welcome.
11
Hello.
12
Hello.
13
Let's start by talking about money.
14
Have you found it easy to get help in that respect, Bruce?
15
Not really.
16
We've applied to local companies for sponsorship, but they would sooner put their money into something which gets them publicity.
17
Alice isn't that well known yet, so we'll probably have to get there without it.
18
And I reckon that with Alice's talent, there's no reason why we can't.
19
That'd be an even greater achievement, wouldn't it?
20
Now, Alice, you must do a lot of training.
21
Is it sometimes a bit too demanding for someone of your age?
22
Well, a lot of players my age might ask themselves, why can't I be like everyone else, you know, free in the evenings and at weekends?
23
But that side of it doesn't bother me.
24
I must admit, though, that there are times when I just don't fancy it, you know, freezing cold winter mornings when Bruce comes round to take me on a training run and I think,
25
oh, go away and leave me alone.
26
But apart from that, well, I do it because I enjoy it.
27
Nobody's making me do it, are they?
28
So I don't really see it as making sacrifices.
29
And what about your schoolwork?
30
Well, I'm managing to keep up with that at the moment, although I can see that if I do get more successful, the sport might get in the way of academic work.
31
But, well, I know which comes first for me.
32
After all, if I make it to the top in tennis, I won't need any academic qualifications.
33
Now, Alice, when you're competing in a tournament, is it all terribly serious or do you have fun?
34
Well, I'm only there for one reason, really.
35
I mean, I can't see the point otherwise.
36
I'm not one of those people who think that taking part matters more than winning.
37
I mean, I know I can't win every time, especially up against people a lot older than me, but that's always the aim.
38
And if I lose, well, I look at my performance with Bruce, look at ways of improving it, and, well, I don't let it get to me.
39
I'm just more determined next time.
40
Bruce, what do you think makes Alice different from other players of the same age?
41
I've never come across any young player quite like her in all my years as a coach.
42
What amazes me is you can watch her play, and she doesn't seem to be trying, even though, of course, she is.
43
With other players, you can see the effort involved, but with her, well, she's just so gifted.
44
So, Alice, how do you see your future?
45
Well, I'd love to turn professional, but it's a bit early to think seriously about that.
46
I mean, I'm a big fish in a small pond at the moment, but as I get older, well, there are going to be a lot of tough players out there
47
if I do end up doing it full time the lifestyle looks glamorous from outside
48
but it might just be too hard for me and I might decide to get out but it's hard to say
49
Some people stay at the top for years, don't they?
50
Bruce, do you and Alice get on well?
51
Is she an easy person to coach?
52
You know, sometimes I find it difficult to remember how young she is, because she's got an old head on young shoulders.
53
We've had the odd, shall I say, disagreement, but she doesn't have much of a temper.
54
It soon passes.
55
She doesn't have a great deal to say, I guess, when we're working or travelling to tournaments.
56
She has friends outside the game, but she doesn't have much time for a social life at the moment.
57
Well, Alice and Bruce, thanks for being my guests and good luck for the future.
58
Thank you.
59
Thank you.
60

117
Be sure to follow the numbering of all the questions.
118
I'll remind you when there is one minute left so that you're sure to finish in time.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
