Unit 3.
2
Ants, ants everywhere.
3
Hello, Mrs. Wilson.
4
How are you?
5
I'm worried, Brianna.
6
Thousands of ants are all over my patio.
7
That's quite a problem.
8
What's worse is that my daughter's birthday party is in a few days, and I wanted to have it on the patio.
9
Why don't you call an exterminator?
10
I would, but I don't want all those hazardous chemicals around my children.
11
It's harmful and unhealthy.
12
I also don't want dangerous substances to seep into the garden.
13
I usually don't have problems with ants, and I don't use any chemicals.
14
What's your secret?
15
Well, ants are difficult to control, so I planted a lot of mint plants near my deck.
16
I also use cinnamon and cayenne pepper.
17
I just sprinkle them around the places I don't want ants.
18
Some people have tried it and said it worked.
19
Others said that they needed to try something else.
20
I think it's worth a try.
21
I would rather use cinnamon and mint around my patio than some hazardous chemicals.
22
Besides, I don't mind having the ants in the yard.
23
I simply don't want them coming to the birthday party.
24
Would you mind helping me?
25
It would be a pleasure.
26
I have a lot of cinnamon at home, and I can run to the store to get the plants for you.
27
Thank you, Brianna.
28
You're such a thoughtful person.
29
Thank you.

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.
