Music Now

let's have a look at some of the most successful ones.

Tessa took this one.

We really like the way the light is hitting the tree.

And here's a similar shot, but from a different angle with a plane crossing the sky.

We got some close-ups of flowers.

We managed to get some good shots of daffodils.

The light was really good for this one.

And we were lucky and managed to get a couple of wildlife shots.

Here's a shot of a swan that Tessa took.

And finally, my shot of a squirrel.

Thank you for listening.

OK.

Thank you, Becky and Tessa.

Some very good work.

There were some interesting close-up shots there.

Very sharp details and clear colours.

Yes, a very good first assignment.

Well done, both of you.

Okay.

Now for your next assignment...

Bridges.

Pick a bridge that you like, photograph it, and then write an essay to go with it.

Okay?

We'll see how you get on.

You've got one month. That went quite well.

Yeah.

It was fun.

So, bridges for our next assignment.

Yes, bridges. So boring.

Oh, I don't know.

It's not that boring.

All that fantastic architecture.

It could be quite interesting.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

I'm not sure.

There's all that theory for the essay.

I didn't take any notes in yesterday's lecture.

Don't worry, I took loads of notes.

You can borrow mine. Can I?

Sure.

Come round to the cafe later and I'll give them to you.

Must go now.

Bye.

Here you are.

My lecture notes.

Oh, great.

Thanks. And these.

Thank you.

And here are some other notes I made earlier.

OK, thank you.

Plenty to read here.

It's not too much is it?

Um, well, no thank you, you've saved my life.

Don't worry that's okay, I'm more into the theory than you are.

You can say that again.

I hate it.

By the way, Tom and I were sorting out details of the wedding last night.

Oh yeah.

And, well we thought, if you're interested, we'd love you to take the photos.

Me?

Are you serious?

Yeah, why not?

Well, I'm not...

I don't think I'm good enough.

Oh, don't be silly.

Of course you are.

Oh, will you please?

Well, yes, if you want me to.

I mean, I'd love to.

Great.

Better get back to work.

Oh, no, no!

What is it, Phil?

I've just deleted the whole chapter.

I only meant to delete the paragraph.

Oh, no. Who's that?

That's Phil.

He's always here.

He's writing a book.

Well, trying to, anyway, when he isn't accidentally deleting his work.

A writer?

That's interesting.

See you later.

Hi.

Becky tells me you're writing a book.

Sort of.

That's great.

I like books.

I'd like to see what you've written anyway.

I'm sure it's really good.

Thanks.

I haven't written much yet.

Oh well, I'd better let you get on.

Bye.

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.
