1
Can you believe we won the match?
2
We were so lucky!
3
And I scored the goal at the end.
4
The winning goal!
5
I'm on cloud nine!
6
Yeah, whatever.
7
Thanks for the support, Susan.
8
Well, you know it's not a deserved victory.
9
Because you hit the ball with your hand.
10
That was cheating, and you know that.
11
It's not our fault that the referee didn't see it.
12
It's his mistake, not ours.
13
But you should have told the truth.
14
If I had told the truth, my teammates would have hated me for missing such a great opportunity.
15
I'm sure anyone would have done the same way.
16
I doubt that seriously.
17
You mean you would have told the truth and risked to be hated by anyone in your team?
18
They would have finally accepted it, and everybody would have admired and respected you for being an honest person.
19
What more do I need to say to get my point across?
20
What are you going to do with all those batteries, Dan?
21
I'm going to throw them away.
22
It's illegal to throw batteries in the trash.
23
Really?
24
Why?
25
Because they contain heavy metals that can be harmful for the environment.
26
Then how do I get rid of them?
27
There are recycling bins placed all around campus, so you can drop the batteries into one of those bins.
28
They have been brought to communities across the city, including at colleges, parks, and athletic fields That's very good I didn't even know batteries are recyclable
29
Are you also going to throw away those magazines and cans?
30
Yes, I am They are also recyclable, you know If we recycle paper,
31
then not so many trees will have to be cut down I see I haven't thought about that before.
32
Then recycling is a good thing.
33
Yes, it's good because fewer supplies are wasted.
34
Recycled materials can be used to make other useful products.
35
It's a way to help the environment and decrease the amount of trash in our landfills.
36
I'm going there right now to drop some bottles.
37
Come with me if you like.
38
Yeah, great.
39
I'm coming.
40
We have to separate e-waste,
41
plastic, metal, glass, paper, and organic waste.
42
They each have specific colors to make it easier to identify.
43
Recycling is very easy to do.
44
I didn't even realize that.
45
It takes just a few minutes a day to sort my garbage.
46
The time we spend recycling is little, enough to help our town stay clean and healthy.
47
Mom, I cleaned up my closet and found a lot of clothes that don't fit me anymore.
48
What should I do with them?
49
You can donate them.
50
Another child can reuse them.
51
This is good for the environment too.
52
What do you mean?
53
If you throw them away, they'll be taken to the landfills.
54
Decomposing textiles emit toxins that are released into the air and are polluting our environment.
55
The bigger our landfills, the higher the levels of pollution.
56
Oh, I see.
57
Okay, I'm going to donate them to someone who needs them.
58
Jennifer, you should always turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth or hands to save water.
59
Why do we need to save water, Mom?
60
It helps to preserve our environment.
61
How's that?
62
Reducing our water usages reduces the energy required to process and deliver it to homes, which in turn helps to reduce pollution.
63
And what else should we do to save energy?
64
We should turn off the lights when leaving a room and unplug devices when not in use.
65
We can also wash clothes at a cooler temperature and with a full load.
66
We can use the stairs instead of the elevators.
67
We save our electric bill and the planet at the same time.
68
Let's go grocery shopping.
69
We need something for dinner.
70
I'll be happy to go, Mom.
71
Can I pick up the grocery I like?
72
I'll allow a few items.
73
Don't get greedy.
74
We need to shop wisely and opt for natural and organic food.
75
We're only going to buy what we need.
76
We should buy local food, which consumes less energy, and hence less pollution.
77
This way, we are going to shop in an eco-friendly way.
78
Okay, let's go, Mom.
79
I'm ready.
80
First, let me take a reusable shopping bag.
81
Hey, wait a minute!
82
What's wrong?
83
That salesperson gave me back $15 extra by mistake.
84
Can you believe it?
85
He is not even able to count the money properly.
86
Let's go to the bakery and have some delicious cakes.
87
It's all on me.
88
I don't think that's the right thing to do.
89
You should give the money back to the salesperson.
90
You must be joking, right?
91
No, I am not joking.
92
That money will be deducted from his own paycheck.
93
You know salespersons work hard, and they are poorly paid. But it's only $15.
94
It's not much.
95
It may be little for you, but it's much for him.
96
Come on, you'll feel good about yourself.
97
Oh, I guess you're right.
98
It's not fair that I should keep it, I suppose.
99
Hey, Vivian, do you fancy going to the movie theater tonight?
100
Oh, I'm not in the mood to go anywhere, Angela.
101
That's so unusual.
102
Did something happen?
103
My sister won't speak to me.
104
I accidentally broke her phone.
105
The phone slipped right out of my hand and fell down on the floor, cracking the screen pretty badly.
106
After that, it started making random touch inputs and before long it was completely unusable.
107
I took the phone to a repair shop, but the repairman said it couldn't be fixed.
108
That's too bad.
109
Well, you should buy her a new one.
110
Unfortunately I don't have so much money.
111
It's a very expensive phone.
112
It was a birthday present from her fiancé.
113
I'll have to work part-time to save money.
114
But that takes time, and she needs a new phone now.
115
I can lend you the money if you like.
116
You can pay me back at your convenience.
117
Really?
118
You would do that for me? Of course.
119
What are friends for?
120
You're the best.
121
Thanks a lot.
122
I appreciate it.
123
The smog in our city is getting worse and worse.
124
The air used to be so clean here when we were children.
125
This smog comes from the factory they built five years ago.
126
Sometimes it just pumps out enormous clouds of thick gray smoke.
127
Yeah, that factory is nothing but trouble.
128
It's more than just the factories, though.
129
There are too many cars which pollute with their exhaust fumes, especially at rush hour.
130
Another problem is that people dump their rubbish everywhere.
131
In the fields and parks.
132
Out of the car.
133
And they don't give fine.
134
They act the same way with dog poo.
135
Dog poo is considered as rubbish, since you have to pick it up and throw it in a bin.
136
just like an empty packet of crisps or soda can.
137
So if one can get away with throwing a soda can on the ground, then why not with the dog poo?
138
It makes me really mad.
139
I know what you mean, Bill.
140
I saw someone throwing some litter out of the window of their car as they were driving past.
141
I shouted after them, but they didn't take any notice of me.
142
And on top of everything, there are more trees being cut down every day.
143
That's why I've decided to not buy any more new physical books.
144
So how can you still read books without harming the environment?
145
I borrow from libraries and friends, or I buy e-books or second-hand books.
146
Yeah that sounds like a good idea.
147
We should also plant trees in our neighborhood to improve the air quality.
148
Matthew, you're very good with computers.
149
Can you give me a hand with it?
150
Sure, what's the problem?
151
I'm trying to print this file, but somehow I can't get my printer to print it.
152
it a few months ago
153
and it worked perfectly until now did i miss something did
154
you switch the printer on of course i did just check
155
and see okay let's see
156
if you click on the start icon go into the printer's
157
folder check the settings oh no what's wrong what happened why did the screen go blank It seems the computer crashed.
158
I need to restart it.
159
The computer crashed?
160
But I haven't gotten to save the document.
161
Is it lost forever in this case?
162
You can't be serious.
163
You didn't save it?
164
No!
165
I just forgot to do it.
166
An evening's work came to nothing!
167
That's a big mistake.
168
You should save your work every few minutes.
169
Well, there's no point saying that now, is there?
170
Here's your bill, sir.
171
Have a great night.
172
Thank you.
173
Excuse me, sir.
174
I can see on the receipt that tuna salad is also included in the order, but this is a mistake because I didn't order that.
175
Oh, sorry about that.
176
I'll bring you the tuna salad right away.
177
Or I can wrap it up to go if you like.
178
No, I don't want the tuna salad.
179
Could you just take it off the bill, please?
180
Okay.
181
Would you like to have a gift card for a free tuna salad next time you visit?
182
I'm afraid I don't like this salad, so this is not going to help.
183
I'm sorry.
184
The problem is you paid by credit card, and it's already been entered into the cash register.
185
Well, this is ridiculous.
186
I'd like to speak to the manager.
187
Hey, Tim.
188
You look really upset.
189
What's the matter?
190
I just got fired from my job, and I'm really mad.
191
Really?
192
But what happened?
193
You've always been so hardworking and responsible.
194
I just got angry with a manager.
195
That's why I was fired.
196
But what did he do to upset you so much?
197
He called one day saying he had a problem with his computer and needed my help.
198
I asked him what the problem was.
199
And he said that his screen had suddenly gone black and didn't know what to do.
200
I asked him if he had pressed any buttons by mistake.
201
But he assured me he didn't.
202
Then I asked him to check that the computer was not unplugged accidentally.
203
He tried to check that, but said he couldn't see very well because it was too dark.
204
I told him to turn the light on, but he said he couldn't because the power went off a few minutes ago.
205
That's a good one.
206
I thought he was trying to play a prank on me.
207
I was so furious that I began to insult him, and then I just hung up the phone on him.
208
My boss soon found out about this and fired me.
209
This is so unfair.
210
The manager was supposed to apologize to me, but I was fired instead.
211
Well, I don't know what to say.
212
I'm really sorry this happened to you.
213
You were right to be upset.
214
But still, you shouldn't have lost your temper and insulted the manager.
215
OMG, look at that scale!
216
I weigh 68 kilograms!
217
I must start to exercise right away and lose weight.
218
I bet I weigh more than you do.
219
I don't think so.
220
You look slimmer than me.
221
Maybe, but I've been eating out a lot lately, so I'm sure I put on weight.
222
I'll bet you $100 that I weigh more than you do.
223
Okay, jump on the scale, let's see.
224
Look, I gained 3 kilograms.
225
I told you I put on weight.
226
That's right, but you still don't weigh more than me.
227
The scale shows 67 kilograms.
228
You know I wasn't serious about that $100.

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.
