Good day everyone and welcome to Learn English with Blaine
2
and this is an advanced citation with a focus on verbs
3
and we will be discussing the topic is going to be likes and dislikes.
4
Your instructions.
5
So I will say the passage once at a normal rate.
6
I will repeat each passage two more times but much slower.
7
Write as much as you can
8
and then I will show you the passage at the end so you can check your work.
9
Do not worry if you make a few spelling mistakes or if you miss a few words.
10
The important thing is that you practice.
11
And remember this is going to be listening practice and then writing practice.
12
One more thing, remember to underline the verbs after you write your dictation.
13
And remember also that verbs are action words that tell what the subject is doing in a sentence.
14
Okay, do you have your pen and your paper ready?
15
So you're going to listen and then write what you hear.
16
But first, let's take a look at an example.
17
So if I was to say this,
18
I'm a huge fan of hiking through the mountains,
19
but I'm not into canoeing.
20
To me, it's very boring.
21
What do you like to do in your spare time.
22
So if I was to say this,
23
the verbs would be am, like I am.
24
Here we see it as a contraction so I and am are put together but the actual verb is am.
25
So here we have am, am, it is.
26
So here we have it combined with is.
27
So is is the other verb and then do,
28
do is another verb and then like is another verb right there
29
so those were the this is how you're going to do
30
it okay let's go to dictation number one I went to the beach the other day
31
and I really enjoyed it we hung out with some friends
32
and met a lot of new people as well I went to the beach the other day I
33
I went to the beach the other day,
34
comma, and I really enjoyed it.
35
And I really enjoyed it, period.
36
We hung out with some friends.
37
We hung out with some friends and met a lot of new people and met a lot of new people as well. As well.
38
Okay, so I'll give you a moment to check the verbs that you saw there.
39
Okay, and here we go.
40
I went to the beach the other day and I really enjoyed it.
41
We hung out with some friends and met a lot of new people as well.
42
So in this sentence, in this dictation,
43
went is a past tense verb.
44
Enjoyed it.
45
Enjoyed is another verb.
46
hung out this is what we call a phrasal verb this is
47
when we've got a verb with a preposition or an adverb
48
so here this is these two go together hung out
49
and then met is another verb as well in the in the simple past okay that's dictation number one
50
and let's now go to dictation number two

Tom told me you saw the new Marvel movie and that you were crazy about it.
78
I wonder if you would like to go again with me sometime next week.
79
I am available on Monday and Wednesday night from 7 to 9.
80
Okay, so here the verbs are told,
81
saw, were, wonder, would like.
82
Here we see a modal verb with the main verb, would like.
83
I am.
84
Am is the last one.
85
And there are different ways that you could write this.
86
You could write the actual numbers.
87

134
These are, this is like a collocation where these two words go together.
135
Can't get, they go together.

And then we have get again,
137
or get up, get up, these can go together.
138
It's a collocation where we have two words or more that go together.
139
And then begin and that's it for the verbs in dictation number three.
140
So let's go to dictation number four.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
