Comparative and Superlative Dialogue 1 Mary and Kate go to the supermarket to buy groceries for a friend's birthday.
2
What do we buy first?
3
I think cake is the best choice.
4
Okay, that's exactly how I feel.
5
How about the strawberry cake?
6
Umm, the chocolate cake is better.
7
Chocolates are the best food in the world.
8
Also, the strawberry cake is more expensive than the chocolate cake.
9
You're right.
10
It's the most expensive cake in the shop, but the chocolate cake is very small.
11
Well, we need to get enough cake for five people, so I don't think it's a good idea.
12
Look!
13
The grape cake is bigger than the chocolate cake.
14
That's right, but I don't like grapes.
15
How about the lemon cake?
16
Oh, it's not bad.
17
It's cheaper than the strawberry cake, bigger than the chocolate cake, and tastier than the lemon cake.
18
We're of one mind.
19
Next, we need to buy snacks and drinks.
20
I have no objection.
21
Why don't we buy some chips to have a snack a little later?
22
I think some cookies are healthier.
23
I plan to go bake some cookies later on,
24
so we'll have a great snack, won't we? That sounds wonderful.
25
Let's go and pick up the ingredients.
26
We need flour, sugar, and butter, eggs, and raisins.
27
Hmm.
28
Oh, that bag of sugar is too small to bake cookies.
29
You should get the biggest bag of sugar.
30
The biggest bag?
31
Are you sure?
32
Right on.
33
I think it will be better if we buy some fruits, right?
34
You read my mind.
35
Which fruit should we choose?
36
Peaches or watermelon?
37
Let me think.
38
I think peaches are better than watermelon.
39
Okay, we should put them in plastic.
40
Please choose the fruit in the basket next to it.
41
They look fresher.
42
I would like to buy some yogurt too.
43
Is that okay?
44
Sure, I agree with you entirely.
45
Yogurt is one of the healthiest snacks.
46
It also makes our skin smoother and more beautiful.
47
So put it in the cart.
48
Let's go to the checkout now.
49
We have finished shopping.
50
Hello.
51
Hello.
52
How would you like to pay?
53
Cash or credit card?
54
A credit card is more convenient than cash, right?
55
So, we'll pay with a credit card.
56
Yes, that's $100.
57
Here you are.
58
Thank you.
59
Have a wonderful day.
60
You too.
61
Bye.
62
Bye.
63
Welcome next time.
64
Dialogue 2.
65
Today is the first school day after a long summer vacation.
66
In the break time, Samantha meets Stephanie in the schoolyard.
67
Hi, Stephanie.
68
Oh, Samantha.
69
How wonderful to meet you.
70
Oh, your new bag is so beautiful.
71
Not as beautiful as yours, Stephanie.
72
And you have a new hairstyle.
73
Your hair is shorter than before, but it looks more stylish now.
74
During the holidays, I went to get my hair cut.
75
It's one of the most famous hairstyles of the current year, isn't it?
76
If I remember correctly, it's called wavy hair, right?
77
Yes, you guessed right.
78
You look very attractive with long wavy hair.
79
Thank you for your compliment.
80
Wow, that's a really nice watch, Stephanie.
81
It looks beautiful.
82
Thanks, just bought it last week.
83
It's the most beautiful watch that I've seen.
84
The best choice ever, right?
85
It might look cool a bit, but it's not as good as I thought.
86
The quality is worse than I thought.
87
It's definitely better than mine.
88
To be honest, my watch is the cheapest one that I found in the shop.
89
It looks nice though.
90
Wow, look.
91
Oh, he is my god.
92
Wait a minute.
93
Ugh, I know him.
94
That's Robert.
95
He's the most famous guy in the school.
96
He's pretty handsome.
97
He's definitely the most handsome guy that I've seen in the school.
98
He's more handsome than my old boyfriend too.
99
Yeah, he's also one of the richest guys in our school.
100
Look at his watch.
101
My goodness, that's the most luxurious watch that I've ever seen.
102
It's pretty ostentatious, isn't it?
103
Yeah, look at his shoes.
104
Is that the most well-known brand, isn't it?
105
He's my best man.
106
I'm enamored with him.
107
No way, you wish.
108
He's got so many wonderful presents for girls in the school and other schools.
109
He's considered to be the most popular boy and the most loved one.
110
He has many friends, both guys and girls.
111
I think he's the most easygoing person.
112
Oh no, he's gone.
113
Come on, we have to go to the canteen and get something to eat.
114
Handsome guy can't eat.
115
Food is our love.
116
I'm so hungry.
117
I could eat a horse. So am I.
118
Let's go now.
119
Dialogue 3 Jacob is Matt's new neighbor and he is a new student who recently transferred to Matt's school.
120
While the teacher gives comments on the midterm test, Matt and Jacob secretly discuss the scores.
121
Keep working.
122
You're getting better, David.
123
You have the highest score in our class.
124
Do you know who that is?
125
That's Sakamoto David.
126
He's the most intelligent student in our class.
127
Really?
128
You mean he's more intelligent than you?
129
Yes, he's always been my strongest opponent in the class.
130
I have to admit one thing, that he studied harder than me, so his marks are better than mine.
131
To sum up, you're worse than him.
132
Just because I have many friends, I don't have time to study.
133
Oh, he's pretty handsome too.
134
He's more handsome than you are too.
135
Aye, stop it right away.
136
That's my pain.
137
I'm just kidding.
138
He's not as sociable as me.
139
He doesn't have too many friends.
140
He's quieter and more sensitive than me.
141
I'm the friendliest person.
142
We're different, okay?
143
Whatever you say is true.
144
Who's the boy next to him?
145
The guy that's talking to him.
146
Oh, that's John Nick.
147
He's the most talented badminton player in our school.
148
He represented the school in many big competitions and won high prizes.
149
He's considered the honor of the school.
150
I think he's more outstanding than David, isn't he?
151
Yeah, he's considered to be the most famous boy in the school.
152
He's taller than David, so he's more attractive than David.
153
Yeah, his hairstyle is more fashionable than David.
154
Goodbye, class.
155
Goodbye, teacher.
156
Oh, it's finished.
157
Yes, bye.
158
See you tomorrow.
159
Yep, talk to you later.

¿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.
