1
Hi, this is IELTS, IELTS .com, Lesson 185.
2
This week we are looking at a part 2 cue card
3
that asks you to speak about a place you visited where everything was expensive.
4
I'll read the cue card to you now.
5
Talk about a place you visited where everything was expensive.
6
You should say: what the place was when you went there, why you think everything there was expensive,
7
and explain whether or not you would visit this place again.
8
Alright, first thing, let's listen to the sample so you can hear the model spoken naturally.
9
Here it is.
10
We will now start part two of the exam.
11
Start speaking now, please.
12
A place I visited that I found to be exceptionally expensive is Dubai, UAE.
13
I visited the city about two years ago during my winter holidays.
14
I stayed in a luxurious area near the iconic Burj Khalifa and I was immediately struck by the opulence everywhere.
15
The hotels, restaurants, and even everyday activities seem tailored to a high -end clientele.
16
For instance, I recall dining at a restaurant with a view of the Dubai fountain, and while the meal was amazing, the bill left me speechless.
17
There are a few reasons why everything there is so expensive.
18
For one, Dubai is a global hub for luxury tourism, catering to wealthy visitors from around the world.
19
The city invests heavily in creating world -class entertainment, and the costs are naturally passed on to consumers.
20
Also, many of the goods and services are imported, And this, of course, adds to their price.
21
Despite the high costs, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there
22
because the city offers a unique blend of cultural experiences and stunning architecture.
23
I would happily visit again.
24
Thank you.
25
Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise.
26
In this week's free sample exercise, you will repeat the first few sentences from the response.
27
I'll read the section of the response again to you now just to refresh your memory.

31

32

33
If this is your first time doing a speech shadowing exercise, remember you should be speaking aloud as you listen.
34
So, you will first hear a portion of the sample, and then you will be given a pause within which to repeat what you have heard.
35
And the point of the exercise is to try to adjust your pronunciation to sound as much like the model as possible.

¿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.
