Création de la leçon...
1
Listening one.
2
One.
3
This is very unusual, isn't it?
4
It's by a very famous artist.
5
Nowadays, his works sell for over $25,000 each.
6
But I really don't understand how anybody would want to spend that much money on something like this. Do you?
7
Two.
8
It's okay.
9
She's quite friendly.
10
She probably just wants something to eat.
11
I'm sure she loves those peanuts in your bag.
12
Three.
13
This is the best way to see the city, isn't it?
14
You can see everything in a day just by sitting and looking through the window.
15
I always do this the first day I visit a new place.
16
Four.
17
Oh, you have to try some of these.
18
They are really delicious.
19
They're so sweet.
20
They grow them very near here.
21
Five.
22
This is an interesting old place.
23
It was built over 200 years ago.
24
It used to be the home of a very rich man.
25
He lived here by himself until he died.
26
Then his family gave it to the city so that now everyone can enjoy it.
27
Six.
28
I have to get some of these.
29
I see them in all the souvenir shops.
30
They're really amazing.
31
And they're cheap, too.
32
I think I'll take some back as gifts for my friends at school.
33
Listening to One Good afternoon, and welcome to Hollywood, California.
34
I hope you all enjoy today's tour of the Houses of the Stars.
35
Here we go.
36
Now remember, you can buy photos of all the Stars' houses when the tour is over, so please don't take any pictures during the tour, okay?
37
Up on the left is the gorgeous mansion where Marilyn Monroe lived.
38
After she got married, she left this house and moved to New York to live with her husband, a famous American baseball player named Joe DiMaggio.
39
Now, just around the corner, you'll see a bright yellow house.
40
Can you see it?
41
Up on the hill?
42
This is where James Dean lived.
43
Finally, do you see that big iron gate on the right?
44
Well, this is the entrance to Arnold Schwarzenegger's house.
45
Unfortunately, you can't see the house from here, and we're not allowed to go inside the gate.
46
Two.
47
We're starting our tour by going up the tallest building in New York City, the Empire State Building.
48
You can see the whole city from the top of this building.
49
While you're up there, don't forget to look at the Statue of Liberty through the telescope since we don't visit it on this tour.
50
Next, we'll take the bus uptown to beautiful Central Park.
51
I know the bus doesn't sound very glamorous, but I promise you, it's just as fast as taking a taxi.
52
When we get to Central Park, we'll visit the petting zoo and have a picnic lunch.
53
Finally, we'll walk to another famous place, Rockefeller Center.
54
In the winter, people go there to ice skate on the famous outdoor rink.
55
Of course, there won't be any ice on a hot summer day like today, but there's a very nice photograph of the rink for sale at the gift shop.
56
3. Welcome to Kathmandu, Nepal.
57
As you all know, the country of Nepal has some really tall mountains, including the world's tallest mountain, Mount Everest.
58
But here in the capital city, Kathmandu, the mountains are almost always covered by clouds, so I'm afraid we probably won't be seeing Mount Everest today.
59
However, we are going to visit an exciting market in the centre of town where you can buy all kinds of souvenirs,
60
including beautiful wool sweaters at really great prices.
61
As we go through the market though, please don't eat any of the food offered to you on the street.
62
It looks delicious, but it might not be healthy.
63
After visiting the market, we'll take a taxi to Pasupati Temple.
64
This is one of the most important temples for the people of India and Nepal.
65
Unfortunately, because we do not belong to their religion, we won't be able to go inside the temple.
66
We can still look and touch the beautiful statues outside it, though.
67
4. Welcome to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
68
This morning, I'm going to introduce to you many of Buenos Aires' famous sights, and after our tour, you will be free to explore the city on your own.
69
First, we are going to visit the parks and gardens of the Recoleta neighborhood.
70
Here, we will get off the bus and walk around to enjoy this beautiful area close up.
71
We will also stop at the Recoleta Cemetery, where many of Argentina's famous people are buried.
72
We'll visit the grave of Eva Perón, Argentina's first lady from 1946 to 1952.
73
Feel free to take photos of the famous graves.
74
Next, we'll make a stop at the Latin American Art Museum in the Palermo neighborhood.
75
Here you will see many excellent examples of Latin American art from the 19th and 20th centuries.
76
We won't have time to visit the museum gift shop though, but we will be visiting an open air market where you'll be able to find many locally made items.
77
Listening to One Good afternoon, and welcome to Hollywood, California.
78
I hope you all enjoy today's tour of the Houses of the Stars.
79
Here we go!
80
Now remember, you can buy photos of all the Stars' houses when the tour is over, so please don't take any pictures during the tour, okay?

121
Listening 3 1.
122
Have you taken a tour since you've been here?
123
Yes, I went on one last weekend.
124
What was it like?
125
Well, we didn't see a lot.
126
We mainly went to a lot of shops.
127
I would have preferred to see more of the museums and famous buildings.
128
I'm not really interested in shopping.
129
And the bus they took us in was so old and slow.
130
They should put it in the museum.
131
Really?
132
Did you say anything to the guide about it?
133
Well, the problem was, he didn't speak English very well.
134
And he wasn't really very friendly.
135
That's too bad.
136
But we did have a nice lunch on the tour, and the whole tour was very cheap, so it wasn't all bad.
137
But I don't think it was worth the time or the money, even though it was cheap.
138
2. What was your city tour like?
139
Well, we saw lots of interesting places on the tour.
140
I was totally exhausted at the end of it, but I'm really glad I took it.
141
You should try it.
142
Did you go by bus?
143
Yes, we had a nice, comfortable bus and a very helpful guide.
144
You know how some guides talk all the time?
145
This one didn't.
146
He gave us just enough information, but not too much.
147
Where did they take you for lunch?
148
Oh, some dirty little place near the center of town.
149
I didn't eat much because the food didn't look very good to me.
150
That's too bad.
151
Was the tour expensive?
152
No, not at all.
153
It was very reasonable.
154
Did you just get back from the tour?
155
Yeah, it was really good.
156
We visited all the places of interest.
157
I'm glad we took it.
158
Did you take a bus or a van?
159
We took a bus.
160
There were only 15 of us in it, so we had lots of room.
161
It was a new, clean one, so it was pretty comfortable.
162
Did you have a guide?
163
Oh, yes, she was great.
164
A student, I think.
165
She really knew her stuff.
166
How was lunch?
167
Awful.
168
We just had some fast food along the way.
169
How much was the tour?
170
Well, it was pretty expensive.
171
That was the only problem.
172
A hundred fifty dollars.
173
I think they should have charged us about seventy-five.
174
But anyway, I think it's definitely worth doing this tour.
175
Four.
176
So how was the tour?
177
It was disappointing, actually.
178
That's too bad.
179
Yeah, we didn't get to see very much.
180
It was too short.
181
I wanted to see a lot more.
182
Really?
183
It wasn't very comfortable either.
184
The bus wasn't air-conditioned, so it got very hot and stuffy after a while.
185
Uh-huh.
186
Anyway, the guide was very helpful.
187
He gave us some very interesting information and told a lot of jokes, so that was fun.
188
And we had a really good lunch at the seafood restaurant.
189
So was the tour worth it?
190
Well, it was only $35, which is pretty reasonable.
191
But if you want to take a tour, you should try a different tour company.
192
Listening 3 1 Have you taken a tour since you've been here?
193
Yes, I went on one last weekend.
194

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.
