1
Hi, everyone.
2
I know you're all busy, so I'll keep this briefing quick.
3
I have some important information about a change in the management team.
4
As you already know, our head of department, James Watson, is leaving his position at the end of this week.
5
His replacement is starting at the end of the next month.
6
In the meantime, we'll continue with our projects as usual.
7
I have two more quick points.
8
Firstly, there will be some improvements made to the staff car park next month for a few weeks.
9
It will be closed during that time.
10
Don't worry, we've found a solution.
11
We can use the local church car park until our own one is ready.
12
If you arrive before 8.30am, please use our small car park on Brown Street.
13
And if you arrive after that, you should go directly to the church car park.
14
It's only a five-minute walk away, but they need it in the evenings, so you have to leave before 6pm.
15
Sorry about that.
16
I know how much you all love working late.
17
The other thing I wanted to tell you about is that the canteen has now introduced a cashless payment system.
18
So you can't use cash for payments anymore.
19
You can pay directly with your smartphone or you can pay using your company ID card.
20
The total amount put on your company ID card comes off your salary at the end of each month.
21
OK, that's it.
22
Are there any questions?

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.
