1
Hello! I've come about the bike you're selling online.
2
Ah, you must be Hannah. Come in, it's just here.
3
Thanks. Oh, it looks even nicer than in the photos.
4
It's in good condition. I've looked after it carefully.
5
How long have you had it?
6
About five years, but I haven't used it much recently.
7
Why are you selling it, if you don't mind me asking?
8
My knees aren't what they used to be, I'm afraid.
9
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
10
Has it ever had any problems?
11
Only a flat tyre once, and I fixed it straight away.
12
Would you mind if I took it for a quick ride?
13
Not at all. Go up to the end of the road and back.
14
The brakes feel good, and the gears are smooth.
15
I had it serviced last spring, so it should be fine.
16
You're asking a hundred and twenty pounds, aren't you?
17
That's right. It cost over four hundred when it was new.
18
Would you accept a hundred? That's what I've got with me.
19
Hmm. Let's meet in the middle and say a hundred and ten.
20
That sounds fair. It's a deal!
21
Here, take the lock as well. I don't need it any more.
22
That's really kind of you. Thank you.
23
Enjoy it, and be careful on the roads.
24
I will. I'm going to cycle to work from now on.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
