5
Hello, come in and take a seat.
6
Oh, thanks.
7
Good.
8
And how can I help you?
9
Well, I'd quite like to join this international social club, and I was hoping you could help me.
10
Yes, no problem.
11
Let me just get the form up on my screen and I'll fill in your details.
12
Let's see.
13
Yes, here we are.
14
Okay, the first thing we need is your name.
15
Jenny Fu.
16
That's F double O.
17
OK, great.
18
And can you tell me how old you are, Jenny?
19
I'm 21.
20
Great.
21
And how long have you been here in Australia, by the way?
22
I arrived just last month, two weeks before the start of the academic year, just to sort things out and settle in a bit.
23
Good idea.
24
Where are you from originally?
25
I'm from Kuala Lumpur.
26
That's where I was born and brought up.
27
So, you're Malaysian, are you?
28
That's right.
29
Though I lived in the United States for a couple of years when I was a teenager.
30
We went there for my father's job.
31
Right.
32
And can you tell me your current address, please?
33
Sure.
34
Just at the moment, I'm lodging with a family at 13 Anglesey Road in Bondi.
35
Okay, let me just type that in.
36
How do you spell Anglesey, by the way?
37
It's spelled A-N-G-L-E-S-E-A.
38
Thanks.
39
That's quite a long way from the city centre, isn't it?
40
Is it a problem getting into the city centre?
41
Not really, because the buses are good and It's a nice, quiet area to live in.
42
That's true.
43
So I guess you must have a cell phone number you can give me
44
so we can keep you informed of events and so on.
45
Yes.
46
Let me just have a look.
47
It's a new one, so I haven't learned the number yet.
48
Ah, here it is.
49
It's 040-422-9160.
50
040-422-9160.
51
OK, good.
52
And you like the family you're living with?
53
Sure.
54
They've got a little boy who is quite noisy, but he's really no trouble.
55
Fine.
56
Now, let's see, what's next?
57
Yep.
58
Can you tell me what you do?
59
I mean, are you working or studying?
60
Well, at the moment I'm doing a temporary job with a company here in Sydney.
61
I'm an economist, in fact.
62
OK.
63
And how long do you think you'll be here in Sydney?
64
At least a year.
65
I may look for work here afterwards.
66
Great.
67
Now, you want to join the International Social Club, and it will be good to know a bit about your free time interests as well.
68
What do you like doing?
69
Well, I'm quite musical and I really enjoy singing.
70
Back home I sang with a band, just, you know, for fun.
71
But for me, what I like best is dancing.
72
You know, the modern sort?
73
I really love it.
74
Track two.
75
Unit one.
76
Listening.
77
Exercise five.
78
So, how are you getting on here?
79
I mean, your level of English is better than most people who come from overseas to work, and you've got a really nice American accent,
80
so I don't suppose you have any communication problems in the office, though you might find some of our Australian slang more difficult to understand.
81
Well, a bit.
82
But I haven't met that many Australians yet, outside of work, I mean.
83
Right.
84
But could you tell me a bit about the international club now I've joined?
85
Sure.
86
We've got, let's see, currently about 50 members, but people join all the time, so I should think that figure will go up.
87
Last year we had 30 members and the year before just 18, so we're growing and getting better known.
88
I reckon that at this rate, next year we'll have about 80.
89
And does the club hold regular meetings?
90
Yes, every second Thursday evening, in fact, so a couple of times a month.
91
Though, of course, when you start making friends, you'll be getting together with them more often than that, I guess.
92
The next meeting will be next Thursday, if I'm not mistaken.
93
Yes, that's right.
94
And what happens when the club meets?
95
I mean, what sort of things are organised?
96
The usual thing is for one of the members to give a little presentation about where they're from, their customs and so on.
97
But from time to time they do other things, outings to places around Sydney or meeting up to eat together in a restaurant
98
or go to a concert together or something like that.
99
OK, that sounds fun.
100
And the members aren't just people from other countries?
101
Non-Australians, are they?
102
No, not at all.
103
The main point of the club is to give people like
104
you the chance to mix in more with people from this country, people of all ages.
105
You'll find us very friendly.
106
I think the contact has a positive effect on visitors to this country.
107
And in fact, it It affects us locals positively as well.
108
You know, it's a sort of intercultural experience for everybody.
109
And of course, you should get the chance to do all sorts of activities with other members of the club
110
if you want to.
111
It's not just for talking.
112
And hopefully you'll make friends with people who have similar interests.
113
It sounds great.
114
I'm really looking forward to the first meeting.
115
Thank you.

¿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.
