59
2237 676.
60
But I'm only there after about 7 p.m.
61
So when would be the best time to catch you?
62
I suppose between nine and,
63
let me see, half past,
64
before I leave for the college.
65
Great.
66
And can I ask you your age?
67
I've just had my 19th birthday.
68
And how long would you want to stay with the host family?
69
I'm planning on staying a year,
70
but at the moment I'm definitely here for four months only.
71
I have to get an extension to my permit.
72
You're working on it?
73
Mm.
74
Fine.
75
And what will be your occupation while you're in the UK?
76
studying English
77
and what would you say your level of English is good I think I'd like to say advanced
78
but my written work is below the level of my spoken
79
so I suppose it's intermediate certainly your spoken English is advanced anyway which Which area do you think you would prefer?
80
Um, well, I'm studying right in the centre,
81
but I'd really like to live in the north-west.
82
That shouldn't be a great problem.
83
We usually have lots of families up there...
84
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
85
you have some time to look at questions six to ten.
86
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
87
And do you have any particular requirements for diet?
88
Well, I'm nearly a vegetarian.
89
Not quite.
90
Shall I say you are?
91
It's probably easier that way.
92
That would be best.
93
Anything about your actual room?
94
I would prefer my own facilities.
95
En suite, is that right?
96
Mm-hmm.
97
And also, if it's possible, a TV.
98
And I'd also like the house to have a real garden,
99
rather than just a yard.
100
Somewhere I could sit and be peaceful.
101
Is that all?
102
Well, I'm really serious about improving my English,
103
so I'd prefer to be the only guest, if that's possible.
104
No other guests.
105
Yes, you get more practice that way.
106
Anyway, obviously, all this is partly dependent on how much you're willing to pay.
107
What did you have in mind?
108
I was thinking in terms of about 60 to 80 pounds a week,
109
but I'd go up to 100 if it was something special.
110
Well, I don't think we'd have any problems finding something for you.
111
Oh, good.
112
And when would you want it for?
113
I'd like to move in approximately two weeks.
114
Let me see.
115
It's the 10th today, so if we go for the Monday,
116
it's the 23rd of March.
117
Yes.
118
Right.
119
Good.
120
And if I could ask one last question.
121
Thank you.

El hablante usa 23 contracciones y formas reducidas, como I'd, I'm, you're. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/, occupation /ˌɑkjʊˈpeɪʃən/
  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: vegetarian /vɛ.d͡ʒɪˈtɛ.ɹi.ən/, intermediate /ɪn.tə(ɹ)ˈmi.di.ət/, occupation /ˌɑkjʊˈpeɪʃən/

  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: vegetarian /vɛ.d͡ʒɪˈtɛ.ɹi.ən/, advisor /ædˈvaɪ.zə(ɹ)/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo

  1. Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
  2. Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como vegetarian, advisor, intermediate.

¿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.
