Création de la leçon...
1
Good afternoon.
2
My name is Louise Green and this is Josie Maniscalco.
3
And your names are?
4
Marta.
5
Thank you.
6
Joe. And Anna.
7
Thank you.
8
Can I have your mark sheets please?
9
Thank you.
10
Thank you.
11
First of all we'd like to know something about you.
12
Martha, where do you live?
13
I live in Pesquera Borromeo, a small town in the outskirts of Milan.
14
And what do you do there?
15
I live there with my family, I play sports there and I hang out with my friends.
16
Jo, where do you live?
17
I live in Segrate, it's close to Milan.
18
It's pretty nice, especially nowadays because there's lots of things going on for the summer.
19
Thank you.
20
Anna, how long have you been studying English?
21
It has been a lot since when I was three years old, I think.
22
It's something that involves all my primary school and also nowadays I'm still studying English,
23
so it's something I bring with me since I was a little child.
24
Thank you.
25
Jo, how important is it for you to spend time with friends and family?
26
It has a great importance.
27
Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of time to spend with family and friends because I'm always working.
28
But the most important thing is to stay with them because that literally makes me relax and makes me feel better.
29
Thank you.
30
Martha, if you could change one thing about your life today, what would it be?
31
I would choose to live in another city.
32
I love Milan, but I would like to go abroad and spend my life abroad.
33
If you had more free time, what would you do with it?
34
I would sleep, this is for sure.
35
Why?
36
Because I have very little time to sleep.
37
There is so much to do in the house.
38
There's house work to do, there's a daughter to follow, there's the cooking and there's the ironing.
39
the usual things a woman has to do.
40
What sort of work would you like to do in the future, Anna?
41
That's a great question.
42
I don't know at the moment.
43
I'm still studying, of course, and the next year I will go to university.
44
So it's something that, it's a process.
45
I I don't know, I'm still searching for that.
46
Thank you.
47
In this part of the test, I'm going to give each of you three pictures.
48
I'd like you to talk about two of them on your own for about a minute, and also to answer a question briefly about your partner's pictures.
49
It's your turn first Martha, here are your pictures.
50
They show people working in different environments.
51
I'd like you to compare two of the pictures
52
and say what the people might find interesting about working in these environments and what problems they might experience there.
53
Alright?
54
In the first picture I see an astronaut that is in the space and he is working probably for a science company.
55
And in the third picture instead I see a group of men
56
that are cleaning what seems to be a clock on a tower.
57
And what people might find to be interesting about this is working in space is something
58
that a lot of people are interested in because it's something very cool also for kids.
59
And as for the one, the man cleaning, I think it would be interesting to be kind of flying in the air,
60
trying to clean the outside of a building.
61
And the problems might be for space, being away from home for a long time.
62
And I think it requires a physical experience as well.
63
And the problem for working, for cleaning buildings might be safety.
64
Thank you.
65
Which working environment do you think presents the greatest challenge, Jo?
66
I guess it's the first one, because you have to deal with solitude.
67
Really fascinating as a job, absolutely, being in space, experiencing something that nobody else can experience, but you are far away,
68
you can't take a train and go back home.
69
Thank you.
70
Now, here are your pictures, Jo.
71
They show people explaining things in different situations.
72
I'd like you to compare two of the pictures
73
and say why the people might be explaining these things and how difficult it might be to give a clear explanation.
74
Alright?
75
Alright.
76
Let's start from the second picture.
77
There is a tourist, I guess, who is asking for information.
78
And probably the two people are speaking a different language
79
because the blonde woman is trying to use body language to make the person understand what he has to do
80
or where he has to go.
81
Whereas in the second picture there is a coach.
82
is trying to explain what sort of a game, what sort of a strategy the players have to use to win the game.
83
The difficulty in the first one is language probably, because in order to make the person understand,
84
the language barrier may present problems.
85
The second picture, instead, the difficulty is different.
86
People who are playing in a game are lost in adrenaline, the fear, the excitement of the game,
87
this could cause a difficulty in understanding.
88
Thank you.
89
Anna, in which situation do you think a clear explanation is most necessary?
90
Maybe I think in the second picture, because for a tourist that it's in a foreign city,
91
is having a clear representation on what he has to do about where he has to go.
92
It's something really important I think.
93
Thank you.
94
Let's not get lost.
95
Now Anna, here are your pictures.
96
They show people looking at different things.
97
I'd like you to compare two of the pictures
98
and say why the people might be looking at these things
99
and how important it is for them to look at these things carefully.
100
Alright?
101
Okay, so I'll start from the second picture that shows a group of workers
102
that are watching a sort of map plan about what they are maybe building
103
and they are trying to understand how to do their work,
104
paying attention on how to do it and with all the specifics about that.
105
In the third picture there's a family that is watching a map,
106
maybe something about a sort of map of the city or of the countryside.
107
I can see cars behind them so it's something,
108
a sort of travel they are doing together.
109
Thank you.
110
Marta, who do you think needs to concentrate the most?
111
I believe that the workers building are the ones who have to concentrate the most
112
because it's very important for them to follow details very carefully in order to build something in the right way.
113
Thank you.
114
Now I'd like you to talk about something together for about three minutes.
115
Here are some things that have a great influence on people's lives together today and a question for you to discuss.
116
you have some time to look at the task.
117
Now talk to each other about how these things influence people's lives today.
118
Hello Marta, how do you think magazines and newspapers influence people's lives today?
119
I believe that reading news online but also on paper influence people
120
because they are reading about news that they think they are true but they might not be.
121
So they are influenced to think about what the writer of the newspaper or the magazine is thinking.
122
and so I think they influence a lot but more than magazines
123
and new paper I think that Internet and technology influence people's lives today.
124
Anna what do you think?
125
Yeah I totally agree with you I think that Internet
126
and technology are the main part of our life today everything is online
127
and our lives are online of course and it's something
128
that a person have to take care of just because all his life is
129
going around that area and it's something scary
130
and something you have to to pay attention on what do you what do you think Jo?
131
This is because you are two digital natives, I am definitely not.
132
So I think that school and college influence people's lives more.
133
Because it's not only internet and the web.
134
You meet people, you know people, you speak to people, you learn to deal with people.
135
Which is something very important.
136
And when you only use the internet and you keep people at a distance, you don't learn how to live.
137
So I definitely think that school and college is the greatest experience a person could have.
138
Do you agree?
139
Yes, but I also think that films
140
and TV have a large influence on people's life because more of the attitude of the characters in the movies, the TV, because we see them on television
141
and we want to be like them so we try to imitate them
142
so I think
143
that has a big influence on people's lives too yeah maybe something just to elude us about any pathetic life
144
and with a piece thick one but maybe family
145
and friends are the best way to be influenced so having person that loves us
146
it's something really important and that could have a huge influence on our lives.
147
What do you think, Jo?
148
I totally agree.
149
I think that family and friends and dialogue in particular,
150
sharing problems, sharing ideas, speaking about them, makes you understand a great deal of things things because
151
while you speak about these things you learn and
152
when you open up by opening up things are thought out
153
magically thank you now you have about two minutes to decide
154
which of these things you think will have the greatest long-term effect on people's lives
155
right shall I start yes can I say what I think yes right I guess school
156
and college because without school and college there is no possibility to choose a career
157
so I guess with family and friends of course school
158
and college has the longest the longest impact on a person's life what do you believe maybe more family
159
and friends that school and college in something
160
that could I don't develop themselves later and but family
161
and friends is something that is with you since you were kids
162
so it's something maybe more important more
163
that I have the greatest influence I find myself to agree more with Joe
164
because I think
165
that education has the most influence in the long term it gives you it forms you
166
and gives you what you think all your knowledge so I think
167
that school and college in the long term has the most influence on people's life
168
so shall we agree yeah my second choice but both are important both are no more Of course, yeah.
169
Also the education.
170
Thank you.
171
Some people say that money is the thing which influences people's lives most.
172
What do you think, Marta?
173
I think it is partially true.
174
Most of the people, their actions, what they do, their work, their aspirations are moved by money.
175
but I also think there is a majority of people who does not think about money
176
and values more family and other kinds of things but yeah there is a lot of people who thinks only about money.
177
Do you agree Anna?
178
Yeah I agree I think that money it's something that involves many of the choice of a person.
179
I think that maybe also choosing the career
180
or how to do with your work it's something
181
that has the money as the main thing to think of
182
so how about you Jen well money is important
183
because you can't go shopping you can't pay a rent you can't do anything about it
184
but I guess it depends on the person because there are things
185
which are more important than money for example I am a teacher teachers don't earn a lot of money
186
but I couldn't do anything else because I love my job
187
and I love the relationship with the kids so money is important
188
but it's definitely not everything what sort of influence do you
189
think teachers can have on their students a great influence because particularly in our days families are difficult.
190
There are split families, there are half brothers, half sisters.
191
Points of reference are really rare and sometimes a teacher doesn't only teach
192
but she becomes a sort of a counselor for the students.
193
So a teacher is very important.
194
Very often you are more like a social assistant rather than a teacher.
195
How do you think different weather conditions can influence the way we feel and act?
196
I think they have a great influence.
197
I speak personally if the weather is not great.
198
It's something that makes you, I don't know, sad, not satisfied with the day in general.
199
You with the wrong in the wrong way and you still feel unsatisfied
200
and I don't know it's something
201
that makes you to look me wrong I do agree
202
if it's sunny outside if it's summer it's warm you're happier you're more willing to do stuff
203
and to go around to go out the house whether
204
if it's raining it's cold you're more likely to stay at home and just be cozy.
205
There are a lot of health and fitness campaigns on TV these days.
206
How effective do you think these can be?
207
They can be very effective.
208
Maybe they create a sort of image of something, I don't know if perfect or not, you don't have to judge that,
209
but it's something that can influence in some ways a person person.
210
What do you think?
211
Well, we had COVID and lots of kids stayed home and they put on weight.
212
So they have become sort of lazy.
213
So they need to be challenged to do something more.
214
So these campaigns should aim at bringing these kids into a sort of physical mood and
215
work out otherwise they would have problems in future.
216
What do you believe?
217
Yeah, I agree.
218
It's useful for someone seeing a campaign, something to look at and work for.
219
Many people say that there should be much stricter controls on advertising online.
220
Do you agree?
221
Not necessarily I agree because I mean advertising nowadays sometimes is like okay,
222
it's not necessarily bad advertising so I don't think it should be strict to control.
223
It could be bad I think maybe.
224
Sometimes more control could be useful, no? and quantity because every now
225
and then these pop-ups come out and they are pretty bothering don't you think
226
so yeah yeah and also sometimes scary because they uh you realize
227
that everyone know what you are looking for what you are searching online and it's something that makes you
228
feel I don't know not so yeah maybe a little controlled do you think
229
that we would we shall continue to buy newspapers in the future I don't think
230
so of course you know that girl no but just
231
because nowadays all the news are online you it's faster you see the message on the screen of your phone
232
and It's more you get to buy a newspaper and read the news day by day in the morning.
233
I agree with Anna.
234
I know you do.
235
I mean, newspapers online are easier, faster, and I think they will disappear,
236
paper, newspaper, eventually, because not as many people read them nowadays.
237
so yeah listen I like sitting down with a cup of tea
238
and reading a newspaper I don't get the chance of doing it very often
239
but of course you are the digital natives and
240
and there is also the gossip area and reading gossip is also nice
241
and you like it too come on yeah but I know
242
but you could do that online too The time with a video is more interactive.
243
So you like videos?
244
Yes.
245
Yeah.
246
News with videos?
247
Yeah.
248
News with photos, I mean, makes the news more real.
249
More catching also.
250
Yeah.
251
If you read a news and you see a picture, you're more willing to actually read on a piece of paper, the article.
252
You don't feel in touch with what you're reading.
253
Thank you, that is the end of the test.
254
Thank you.

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.
