Hello?
2
Oh, hello.
3
I wanted to inquire about hiring a room in the village
4
hall for the evening of September the 1st. Let me just see...
5
Err.. yes, we have both rooms available that evening.
6
There's our main hall that's got seating for 200 people.
7
or there's the Charlton Room.
8
Sorry?
9
The Charlton Room: C -H -A -R -L -T -O -N.
10
That's got seating for up to 100.
11
Well, we're organising a dinner to raise money for a charity, and we're hoping for at least 150 people. So...
12
I think we'll go for the main hall.
13
How much would that cost?
14
Let's see.. um.. you wanted it for the evening of September the 1st?
15
Yes, that's a Saturday.
16
So, from 6pm to midnight, that'd be £115.
17
That's the weekend price.
18
It's £75 on weekdays.
19
That's all right.
20
And I have to tell you there's also a deposit of £250, which is returnable, of course, as long as there's no damage.
21
But we do insist that this is paid in cash.
22
We don't take cards for that.
23
You can pay the actual rent of the room however you like, though.
24
Cash, credit card, cheque.
25
Oh, well, I suppose that's OK.
26
So, does the charge include use of tables and chairs and so on?
27
Oh, yes.
28
And what about parking?
29
Yeah, that's all included.
30
The only thing that isn't included is...
31
You said you were organising a dinner?
32
Yeah.
33
Well, you'll have to pay extra for the kitchen if you want to use that.
34
It's £25.
35
It's got very good facilities, good quality cookers and fridges and so on.
36
Okay.
37
Well, I suppose that's alright.
38
We can cover the cost in our entry charges.
39
Right.
40
So I'll make a note of that.
41
Now, there are just one or two things you need to think about before the event.
42
For example, you'll have to see about getting a licence if you're planning to have any music during the meal.
43
Oh really?
44
It's quite straightforward.
45
I'll give you the details later on.
46
And about a week or ten days before your event,
47
you'll need to contact the caretaker - that's Mr Evans - to make the arrangements for entry.
48
He'll sort that out with you.
49
And do I give him the payment as well?
50
No, you do that directly with me.
51
Right.
52
Now, is there anything I need to know about what happens during the event?
53
Well, as you'll be aware, of course, the building is no smoking throughout. Of course.
54
Now, are you having a band?
55
Yes.
56
Well, they'll have a lot of equipment, so rather than using the front door, they should park their van round the back and use the stage door there.
57
You can open that from inside, but don't forget to lock it at the end.
58
OK.
59
And talking of bans, I'm sure I don't need to tell you this,
60
but you must make sure that no one fiddles about with the black box by the fire door.
61
That's a system that cuts in when the volume reaches a certain level.
62
It's a legal requirement.
63
Sure.
64
Anyway, we want people to be able to talk to one another, so we don't want anything too loud.
65
Oh, that reminds me.
66
We'll be having speeches.
67
Are there any microphones available?
68
Yep.
69
Just let the caretaker know.
70
He'll get those for you.
71
Right, now when the event is over, we do ask that the premises are left in good condition.
72
So there's a locked cupboard and you'll be informed of the code you need to open that.
73
It's got all the cleaning equipment, brushes and detergent and so on.
74
Right.
75
So what do we need to do after everyone's gone?
76
Sweep the floors, I suppose?
77
Well, actually they have to be washed, not just swept.
78
Then you'll be provided with black plastic bags, so all the rubbish must be collected up and left outside the door.
79
Of course, we'll make sure everything's left tidy.
80
Oh, and I forgot to ask, I presume we can have decorations in the room?
81
Yes, but you must take them down afterwards.
82
Sure.
83
And the chairs and tables should be stacked up neatly at the back of the room.
84
I'll make sure I've got a few people to help me.
85
Good morning, Youth Council.
86
Caroline speaking.
87
Oh, hello.
88
I'm interested in standing for election to the Youth Council, and I was told to give you a call.
89
That's good.
90
Could I have your name, please?
91
Yes, it's Roger Brown.
92
Thank you.
93
I'm Caroline, the Youth Council Administrator, so do you know much about what the council does, Roger?
94
I've talked to Stephanie.
95
I think she's the chair of the council.
96
That's right.
97
And she told me a lot about it.
98
How it's a way for young people to discuss local issues, for example, and make suggestions to the town council.
99
That's what made me interested.
100
Fine.
101
Well, let me take down some of your details.
102
First of all, how old are you?
103
You know the council is for young people aged from thirteen to eighteen?
104
I've just turned eighteen.
105
And where do you live, Roger?
106
Well, that's a bit complicated.
107
At the moment I'm looking for a flat to rent here, so I'm in a hostel from Monday to Friday.
108
I'd go back to my parents' place at the weekend.
109
OK, so where's the best place to send you some information about the council?
110
'Oh, to my parents' address, please.
111
That's 17 Buckley Street.' B U C K L E I G H Street
112
Stamford Lincolnshire.
113
Though you don't really need the county.
114
Oh, I know Stamford.
115
It's a lovely town.
116
And what's the postcode?
117
P -E -9 7QT.
118
Right, thank you.
119
So are you working here or are you a student?
120
I started studying at the university a couple of weeks ago, and I've got a part -time job for a few hours a week.
121
What do you do?
122
Well, I've done several different things.
123
I've just finished a short -term contract as a courier, And now I'm working as a waiter in one of the big hotels.
124
Uh -huh.
125
That can't leave you much time for studying.
126
Oh, it's not too bad.
127
I managed to fit it all in.
128
What are you studying?
129
My ambition is to go into Parliament eventually, so my major subject is politics.
130
That's partly why I think the Youth Council is important and want to be a part of it.
131
And I suppose you're also taking a minor subject, aren't you?
132
I know a lot of people study economics too.
133
I chose history.
134
To be honest, I'm not finding it as interesting as I expected.
135
OK, so with your studying and your part -time job, do you have time for any other interests or hobbies?
136
Well, I spend quite a lot of time cycling.
137
both around town to get to university and to work, and also long distance, from here to London for instance.
138
That's pretty impressive.
139
Anything else?
140
For relaxation, I'm also keen on the cinema.
141
"'I used to go at least once a week, but I can't manage to go so often now.' Right.
142
Are you sure you'll have enough time for the Youth Council?
143
Yes, I've worked out that I can afford to reduce my hours at work, and that will make the time.
144
So is there any particular aspect of the Youth Council's work that appeals to you, Roger?
145
Well, my sister is blind,
146
so I'm particularly interested in working with disabled young people to try and improve the quality of their lives.
147
That's great.
148
Well, the best way to get involved is to be nominated by some people who you know.
149
Right.
150
Can you tell me how to set about organising that?
151
You should talk to Geoffrey, our elections officer.
152
I can arrange a meeting in the council office with him, if you like.
153
Yes, please.
154
He'll be here next Monday, if that suits you.
155
That's the 14th, isn't it?
156
Yes.
157
I can manage late afternoon.
158
Would you like to suggest a time?
159
He generally leaves around 5 :30.
160
Well, would 4 :30 be okay?
161
My last class finishes at four, so I'd have plenty of time to get to your office.
162
Right, that's fine.
163
Oh, and could I have a phone number we can contact you on?
164
Yes, my mobile number's 07788 136711.
165
Thank you.
166
Well, we'll look forward to seeing you next week.
167
Thanks very much.
168
Goodbye.

Das Szenario: Ein Alltaggespräch zur Raumvermietung
Die Konversation im Video zeigt eine realistische Situation: Jemand bucht einen Raum in der Gemeindehalle für eine Charity-Dinner-Veranstaltung. Dabei werden Details wie Preis, Depositum, Zusatzleistungen und organisatorische Schritte besprochen. Solche Szenen sind ideal fürs Üben, da sie häufige Alltagsfragen und -antworten enthalten – perfekt um flüssiger zu werden.
Nützliche Chunks & Collocations
- "inquire about hiring a room": Nachfragen nach der Vermietung eines Raums – ein häufiger Ausdruck bei Terminanfragen.
- "returnable deposit": Rückzahlbares Depositum – wichtig für Verträge und Vereinbarungen.
- "cover the cost in our entry charges": Die Kosten über Eintrittsgelder decken – nützlich für Event-Organisatoren.
- "make arrangements for entry": Vereinbarungen für den Zutritt treffen – hilfreich bei logistischen Details.
- "pay extra for the kitchen": Zusätzlich für die Küche zahlen – üblich bei Raumvermietungen mit Catering.
Deine Shadowing-Herausforderung
Shadowing ist eine effektive Methode, um Aussprache, Intonation und Flüssigkeit zu verbessern. Nutze dazu die folgende Aufgabe: Spiele den Dialog abschnittweise ab (z. B. 5-10 Sekunden) und wiederhole ihn sofort nach, so genau wie möglich. Achte auf die Betonung (z. B. "returnable deposit") und die Geschwindigkeit. Übe mindestens 5 Mal – am besten bei einem shadowing site, wo du die Audioqualität anpassen kannst. Diese Übung hilft, "shadowspeak" zu meistern: die Fähigkeit, Sprache spontan und natürlich nachzuahmen. Probier's jetzt – du wirst schnell Fortschritte sehen!
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| „Used to“ used to + Verb – eine frühere Gewohnheit oder ein Zustand, der nicht mehr gilt | used to go |
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | I've talked · I've just turned · I've done |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | is paid · isn't included · are left |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | people who you |
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.
