1
Why are you so sad, Alice?
2
Is something wrong?
3
Oh, my sister has just told me she got a job in Boston,
4
and she's moving away.
5
But that's great news.
6
You should be happy for her.
7
I am happy for her,
8
but I'm sorry for myself.
9
My sister and I have always been so close,
10
and it will be hard to live so far away from each other now.
11
We had the best time hanging out, laughing, eating.
12
I won't be able to see her that often from now on.
13
I'll miss her very much.
14
Don't take it too badly.
15
You'll be able to video chat with her as often as you want.
16
You won't even feel she's far away.
17
That's true, I suppose.
18
But it would have been better if she'd found a job here.
19
Boston is a really cool city.
20
You could go up there for weekends and vacations.
21
Yeah, you may be right.
22
Look at it this way.
23
If she hadn't got that job,
24
she would have been really disappointed.
25
Yes, I know this is the opportunity for her lifetime.
26
And she simply can't let it slip through her fingers.
27
She's very excited about it.
28
I mustn't spoil things for her.
29
Cheer up.
30
Come on.
31
Let's go to a cafe or something.
32
Okay, thanks, Tom.
33
I feel a bit better now.
34
Look at this lamp!
35
It's so beautiful!
36
It would be a great gift for my grandma!
37
But it's so expensive.
38
Just look at the price.
39
It's going to cost you an arm and a leg.
40
That's because its design is handmade.
41
So you would pay such a high price for it?
42
Do you have that much money?
43
I have some savings.
44
Oh no!
45
What happened?
46
I put the lamp back to its place,
47
but it fell and crashed to the floor and shattered into pieces.
48
Now all my savings will go down the drain,
49
and I won't be able to buy my grandma any gift.
50
Let's get out of here quickly before somebody sees us.
51
Luckily, nobody saw anything.
52
Hurry up!
53
Are you kidding?
54
I can't do that.
55
I'm not a coward.
56
What do you mean?
57
You want to pay $200 for that lamp?
58
Then how are you supposed to be able to buy your grandma a gift?
59
I'm going to borrow some money.
60
I have no choice.
61
It's my responsibility.
62
And I feel sorry for the owner.
63
Oh, come on.
64
For him, it's just a drop in the bucket.
65
To you, it's a lot of money.
66
I know, but I would feel so ashamed of myself if I just ran out without telling him.
67
I couldn't look at myself in the mirror if I did this.
68
How are things going for you at work at the moment, Tina?
69
Not well, I'm afraid.
70
I've gotten myself into trouble.
71
Oh?
72
How's that?
73
What happened?
74
I took my eye off the ball when I was trying to negotiate an important deal
75
and managed to lose the deal at the last minute.
76
Sorry to hear that.
77
How did your boss react to this?
78
She was really angry and lashed out at me saying I was losing my touch.
79
It was quite a slap in the face because I've brought in many good business opportunities until now.
80
That was very insensitive of her.
81
Yes, she's straightforward and lets you know what she's thinking.
82
So you want to quit now?
83
No, on the contrary.
84
I want to prove my boss she was wrong to judge me by one incident.
85
I want her to see I'm still very competent and skillful.
86
You're right.
87
You can't judge someone by one action,
88
but by the sum of their career.
89
It seems like only yesterday that my son Matt was just a little baby in my arms.
90
But now that he's 18,
91
I keep asking myself, where did the time go?
92
He is about to fly the nest.
93
He's been admitted to Oxford University, so he's moving there.
94
We are now empty nesters, too.
95
My son Josh has already left home.
96
We only see him a couple of times a year.
97
How old is he now?
98
He's 22, and he's the spitting image of his dad at around the same age.
99
They've got the same eyes and nose,
100
the same hair color, and they are even the same height.
101
They're both so tall.
102
Tall men seem to run in the family.
103
He's just like him in character, too.
104
Even though we're sad that he's left,
105
it's normal that he's done so.
106
Yes, it's sad when your nearest and dearest move away.
107
Our daughter lives in Canada,
108
and we hardly ever see her.
109
It's hard not being able to visit your own flesh and blood very often.
110
On the other hand, we have more time to walk the dogs,
111
slowly renovate our new home,
112
and cherish the relaxed moments together between our hectic working lives.
113
Hi, Lily.
114
Did you have a nice weekend?
115
Yes, I did.
116
I got to spend time with my family and I feel so refreshed.
117
I heard you went to a party this weekend and I was so surprised to hear that.
118
You told me that you were staying in on Saturday night because you were tired and needed some rest.
119
That's why you refused to go to the movie theater with me.
120
Who told you I went to a party?
121
Paul said that he had seen you there.
122
How come you didn't tell me about it?
123
Cause I was only there for a few minutes.
124
I chatted to Lisa briefly and then I left.
125
But why did you go at all?
126
I noticed my sister forgot her phone at home and I went there to bring it to her.
127
In case something happened and she needed it.
128
Are you telling me the truth, Lily?
129
Honestly, it's true.
130
I wouldn't tell you a lie.
131
If you don't believe me, you can ask Paul.
132
Okay.
133
I believe you.
134
Sorry, Lily.
135
That's okay.
136
Hi, Olivia.
137
I wonder if I could have a brief chat with you.
138
Yeah, sure, Chloe.
139
Please have a seat.
140
So, what is it?
141
Well, it's a delicate subject.
142
I don't know how to begin.
143
I've made a big mistake today.
144
It was an accident, actually.
145
Chloe, please cut to the chase.
146
Just tell me what's wrong and I'm sure we can sort it out.
147
But please promise me not to get upset.
148
Okay, I promise.
149
Well, today I did some online shopping at work.
150
Then I accidentally paid for it with the company credit card that was lying in front of me.
151
I mistook it for my personal MasterCard when I made the purchase.
152
I see.
153
How much did you spend?
154
$1,500.
155
Oh, that's a lot of money.
156
I know.
157
I bought some gifts for my family.
158
Well, there's a procedure to deal with this.
159
I will make a deduction from your final salary payment to recover the costs.
160
Thanks a lot, Olivia.
161
I promise to be more careful from now on.
162
One more thing.
163
If you're getting your work done on time,
164
I don't have anything against shopping online at Workplace.
165
But if you're falling behind because of this, then I'm against it.
166
So please don't let this affect your productivity.
167
Of course not.
168
You know I've always submitted my projects on time.
169
Yes, I know.
170
Just keep up the good work.
171
Sylvia, I did something wrong,
172
and I feel so guilty.
173
What did you do?
174
I needed to do an assignment on the play The Merchant of Venice,
175
and I borrowed Peter's laptop for that.
176
I found his assignment on the same topic on his laptop,
177
and decided to copy it.
178
The teacher got really upset when she noticed our assignments were identical and failed us both.
179
I didn't have the courage to tell the teacher the truth.
180
I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
181
Oh, Victor.
182
What were you thinking?
183
It was obvious the teacher would notice the assignments were identical.
184
Well, I just hoped she would turn a blind eye to it.
185
This is too serious to let it pass.
186
You should come clean about it.
187
Poor Peter!
188
He must have worked so hard for that assignment.
189
It's not fair that he should be punished because of you.
190
I know.
191
That's why I told you I feel guilty.
192
You have to pluck up the courage to confess the truth and apologize for what you did.
193
You owe this to Peter.
194
Fine.
195
I'll try to make amends for what I did.
196
I'm going to call Peter right away.
197
Melissa, what time do your kids go to bed?
198
At about 8 p.m on weeknights.
199
So early?
200
Yes, I believe a good night's rest helps their performance in school.
201
My kids go to bed at different times.
202
Kevin goes to bed at about 9.30.
203
And Susie at 10.30.
204
Aren't they tired the next day?
205
Don't you think they should go to bed earlier?
206
No, they are fine.
207
Kids are all different.
208
There is no use to put a child to sleep
209
if they're just going to lie in bed with their eyes wide open.
210
So you think we should let them go to bed when they're tired?
211
But kids never admit they're tired Well,
212
I can't really see the point of forcing kids to go to bed
213
They could end up going to sleep two hours later,
214
just lying in bed It all just depends on who you are and how much sleep your brain and body needs
215
But parents also need time on their own Yeah,
216
but if my kids were all in bed at 8,
217
I would spend very little time with them But if they're up late, they get cranky.
218
That's why they need to go to bed early.
219
I think parents should be able to personalize bedtimes for each and every child.
220
All children have different needs involving sleep.
221
There are several kids who do fine in school with just eight hours of sleep.
222
Hey Beth, did you hear Lucy and Max broke up?
223
Yes, I heard that!
224
What's more, she's going out with David!
225
Get out of here!
226
I saw them together yesterday.
227
But I had no idea there was something going on between them.
228
Maybe it's better this way,
229
because Lucy and Max didn't have anything in common.
230
That's right, I think they just grew apart,
231
because they are very different.
232
But David doesn't seem to be the frat match for her either.
233
What does she see in him? seeing him.
234
You've got me there.
235
Didn't you used to like him?
236
I liked him until I found out he cheated on his last girlfriend, you know.
237
Really?
238
Then I doubt they will stay together too long.
239
Oh well, time will tell whether they stay together or not.
240
Put on some sunscreen, Matthew
241
If you spend too much time in the sun without putting on sunscreen You are likely to get a sunburn
242
Lips get sunburned too So we should also apply a lip balm that contains sunscreen Here Dad,
243
is getting a suntan really dangerous, as they say?
244
What do you think?
245
Well, the truth is that the sun is more dangerous now.
246
Sunlight is not like it was many years ago.
247
The Earth has an ozone layer,
248
which should protect the Earth from powerful UV rays.
249
The problem is, the ozone layer has been damaged by the pollution.
250
One of the biggest threats to the ozone layer is cars,
251
the exhaust gases from cars.
252
So what's the solution?
253
People should avoid driving from now on?
254
Well, maybe driving less would be a good thing if we want to save the ozone layer.
255
How can we protect ourselves from UV rays?
256
We should avoid the strongest rays of the day,
257
usually from 11am to 4pm, and apply sunscreen.

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.
