Pratique du Shadowing: 18 Audio Track - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

1
Track 18, Speaker 1 I think it's absolutely horrifying the way we treat animals sometimes,
2
especially when it's done for research purposes.
3
I find the images of caged animals being forced to smoke quite distressing.
4
And it's even more outrageous when all this research is done for cosmetics.
5
It's not a subject that I can be objective about, I'm afraid, and I think it's absolutely essential we find a different way of doing this type of research.
6
Speaker 2 I honestly think we should do a lot more, because I think it's vital we try to reduce the number of animals that are endangered.
7
It's something I feel very strongly about.
8
I think it's irresponsible to carry on causing environmental damage that makes animals suffer.
9
One of the things we need to do is stop developments that will affect the habitat of wild animals.
10
I think it's totally appropriate to do that, even if it does mean a company might make a loss.
11
Speaker 3 I haven't really thought much about it, to be honest.
12
I'm pretty impartial when it comes to animals.
13
I'm not a vegetarian, so I think it would be hypocritical of me to insist on rights for animals.
14
I know there are plenty of people who find all of that pretty upsetting, but I think it's perfectly acceptable to keep chickens in cages to provide us with eggs,
15
though a friend of mine thinks it's appalling.

Boost Your English Speaking with This Engaging Video Clip

Practice english speaking and improve english pronunciation with this dynamic video conversation—perfect for shadowspeaks and learning english with videos. The dialogue covers passionate debates about animal treatment, giving you real-world language to master.

What You'll Learn

This clip builds three key speaking skills: first, expressing strong opinions using phrases like "I think it's absolutely horrifying" and "I feel very strongly about." Second, balancing viewpoints with "I'm pretty impartial" or "though a friend of mine thinks it's appalling." Third, using persuasive language such as "it's essential we find a different way" to argue your case. These are must-have tools for confident English communication!

Listen For These Sounds

Notice connected speech and reductions that make native speech flow. For example, "I think it's" often links to "I think it's" (no pause), and "it's not a subject" becomes "it's not a subject" with a soft "t" sound. Also, "I'm afraid" is often reduced to "I'm 'fraid" in casual talk. Listening for these details will help you understand fast speech and speak more naturally.

Say It Like a Native

Mirror the speakers' rhythm and stress to sound authentic. When expressing strong feelings, stress words like "absolutely," "horrifying," and "vital" to show emotion. For neutral statements, keep a steady pace—like "I haven't really thought much about it." Practice shadowing (repeating immediately after the speakers) to copy their intonation. This shadowspeak technique is a quick win for improving fluency and pronunciation.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
