[Music]
66
we've been living here for three months now and there's been constant noise in this building i can't take this anymore
67
me neither we must talk to the landlord and make a complaint
68
now what's the problem girls why did you want to speak with me for three months now we've been putting up with constant noise due to repair
69
work on the building exterior some repair work had to be done on the facade and balconies and it will certainly improve the overall appearance
70
of the building but there has been constant banging and jackhammering for three months now
71
because of the extreme noise we're frequently forced to leave the building
72
we can't study under these circumstances if you'll remember we clearly stated from the beginning that we needed a quiet building
73
i'm sorry about that but the good news is it won't last forever we should have been informed about that before we signed our lease
74
i do apologize for the inconvenience but there's nothing i can do about it when we agreed to rent the apartment we were led to believe that we were moving
75
into a quiet building under normal circumstances it is a very quiet building perhaps you should contact the
76
management company who is overseeing the repair work but we signed the lease with you not them
77
well if you want to move out you are free to do so and i suppose we'll have to pay a penalty for breaking the lease right yes that's right
78
i don't think that's fair at all so what do you expect me to do now legally we are entitled to a compensation for loss of peaceful
79
enjoyment you've been lucky to find this apartment with such a cheap rent i think you should appreciate that we could go to arbitration but we'd
80
prefer to settle with you i suppose i could offer you a 10 reduction for now until you move out
81
actually we were thinking of a 25 i'm sorry that's too much
82
like i said we could go to arbitration okay fine it's a deal

Über diese Lektion

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.
