Did you try any of the facilities while you were there?

I did a quick workout in the gym at the sports centre.

37
Oh, really?
38
Do you mean in team sports?
39
Well, I play football, but only for fun with my friends.
40
I preferred baseball when I was at school.
41
I was quite good at it and I almost played in a national tournament once.

Where will the friends go running this evening?

I'm not as fit as I used to be.
61
I need to start doing some training again.
62
Well, why don't you come for a run with me this evening after college?
63
I usually set off from home around six o'clock.
64
We could go along a path through the woods near college, or we could go into the countryside, which is what I do.
65
There's a path by the river.
66
It's more peaceful than running through the streets and there are some beautiful views.

78
I'm going snowboarding next week.
79
Have you ever tried it, Max?

Not since I entered a competition when I was a teenager.
81
It didn't end well.
82
I came last and injured my ankle.
83
Oh, that doesn't sound good.
84
Well, no, it wasn't.
85
I used to be one of the fastest skiers I knew when I was that age.
86
My family lived in Switzerland for a few years, so I just expected to be good at other winter sports too, like snowboarding and ice hockey.
87
But I failed to get into the school team for that.

Really?

I wonder if anyone's found one of my trainers.
106
It's got Charlotte in it.
107
I was on court three with my friend.
108
I usually put everything in my backpack with my racket.
109
I've got one, but the other isn't there.
110
Fortunately, they aren't new, but if you could look for me that would be great.
111

134
My son, Tom, is thinking about joining, so I wanted to show him around.
135
We're also going to meet the coach.
136
I want to ask a few questions.
137
Tom plays a lot of football, and I'm not sure it will be easy for him to do both sports.

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.
