9
Thank you.
10
I've just been to something I'm sure I'll remember all my life.
11
It was one of my favourite bands of all time playing in front of the National Gallery.
12
It was just the perfect setting, a square surrounded by elegant historic buildings.
13
Quite a severe location in some ways, but that suited their style.
14
The bit I'll personally always treasure was how taken my son was by it all.
15
Usually he's a bit dismissive of my tastes in songs, but he agreed to let me drag him along
16
and it was clear from his face
17
that he found it spellbinding i've now agreed to go along to watch a cricket match with him
18
and hope i'll be equally surprised to find it enjoyable
19
speaker two it was an absolutely extraordinary evening well worth the
20
long rail journey i'd had to make to get there the speakers were excellent managing to be both moving
21
and witty in a way that seemed totally appropriate given the nature of the occasion,
22
a hundred years since the halls that had housed such a major national exhibition had burnt down.
23
But I remember the event also for personal reasons.
24
I bumped into a friend I hadn't seen for a good ten years, a guy I used to play football with before we both headed off to university.
25
I'd thought about him often but hadn't managed to find out where he was living or what he was doing now, despite googling him every now and then.
26
Speaker 3 When you think back over the memorable events in your life,
27
I think sometimes it's relatively ordinary ones that can stand out more than the big public occasions.
28
My grandfather becoming 80, for example, had a surprisingly significant impact on my life.
29
A famous actor who'd been to school with Grandpa, gave a very touching speech about the importance of roots, and it came to me with total clarity
30
that I really did want to move back to the town where I grew up.
31
I'd been turning the idea over in my mind for quite some time, but might never have got round to doing anything about it had it not been for that speech.
32
Speaker 4 I met Fiona when we were both on a train going to the airport last month, and we started talking about where we were heading.
33
Fiona told me she was going back to the island where she'd spent many happy holidays as a child,
34
but this time because she had to attend a conference in connection with her work as an architect.
35
I explained
36
that I was off to the city where I'd had the
37
luck as a child to go to the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.
38
The thing that struck me most then were the fireworks over the snowy mountains.
39
I don't think I've ever seen anything more stunning in the twenty years since.
40
Speaker 5 I was a bit late coming home last night because I'd had to hand in a piece of lost property.
41
I'd found a purse on the floor of the auditorium.
42
You remember I was going to see one of my favorite plays it was an excellent performance
43
but i think i'll remember the evening most because of that purse
44
when i looked inside it the credit card had the name of a really famous political figure on it
45
do you think they might ask to meet me
46
when they learn their purse has been handed in they should be very grateful
47
because there was a lot of money in there And I mean a lot.
48
Enough to buy a new car.
49

Wie man die Aussprache richtig bekommt

Konzentriere dich auf die Intonation bei emotionalen Erzählungen. Die Sprecher betonen Wörter wie "perfect setting", "totally appropriate" oder "stunning" – höre dir an, wie sie die Stimme heben, um Betonung zu setzen. Übe "shadowspeak": Wiederhole die Sätze direkt nach den Sprechern, achte auf die Rhythmus und die Pausen. So verbessern sich nicht nur Aussprache, sondern auch der Fluss. Achte auch auf schwache Formen wie "I've" oder "he'd" – sie machen dein Englisch flüssiger. Probier es mit Sätzen wie: "I'd thought about him often but hadn't managed to find out..." – sprich langsam, dann immer schneller, bis es nahtlos klingt.

Mit diesem Video kannst du nicht nur dein Hörverständnis trainieren, sondern auch aktiv Englisch sprechen üben – ideal für alle, die ihre Kompetenz in der Praxis verbessern wollen!

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
