1
Do you enjoy learning a foreign language?
2
Why?
3
Why not?
4
I really enjoy learning foreign languages, especially languages like English and Chinese.
5
Whenever I watch a popular English or Chinese movie, I don't want to lose track of what is going on on screen because I'm reading subtitles.
6
I just want to focus on the native language and soak up the atmosphere of the movie.
7
Why do you think learning English is very important?
8
In our country, English is one of the core subjects at school, and it is much easier to get a better job if you are good at English.
9
Of course, another reason is that many people throughout the world speak English, so English is an important means of communication.
10
What kinds of languages did you learn at school?
11
I learned German for two whole years at secondary school, and I really enjoyed it at the time.
12
However, I don't remember any words except for a few basic sentences like Was ist das?
13
Apart from German, I took an elective in French for one semester, but that was a more difficult language to learn.
14
Would it be easier to learn a foreign language at an early age?
15
I think it depends on an individual's capabilities.
16
There is one thing I know for sure.
17
When a child is exposed to a foreign language at an early age, it often makes them interested in the language.
18
In my opinion, it is crucial to have a genuine interest in a language
19
if you hope to learn to speak it well.
20
One of my friends told me that she learned English at the age of five, and her interest in it at such a young age really helped her to perfect her English.
21
She even remembers most of the English words she learned at that age.
22
I certainly wish I hadn't waited until university before I started studying English.
23
I'd like to describe a pair of shoes that I bought from an online store a few weeks ago.
24
I hadn't originally planned to buy them online, but the shoes are so much cheaper on the internet than they are in traditional stores.
25
As everyone may already know, almost every product sold online is much cheaper than products sold in physical stores.
26
Despite that, I don't often shop online because I can't pick up
27
and compare items like shoes and clothes when I'm browsing an online store.
28
As a result, I have no idea about the quality
29
and comfort of items until I receive them however on this
30
occasion i read some positive customer reviews on the shoes
31
so i decided to take a chance
32
and order them online although delivery took several weeks i was really satisfied with the design
33
and quality of the shoes
34
when they arrived i think i might even use an online store again when I buy a shirt next month.
35
Why do many people shop online these days?
36
I think there are two main reasons.
37
First, it is obviously easy and convenient to buy things online.
38
We don't have to go outside and walk from one store to another to find what we are looking for.
39
This can be uncomfortable and tiring, especially in summer and winter.
40
Second, as I mentioned before, prices of products online are generally lower.
41
I think businesses can afford to lower prices because their websites receive so much traffic from customers.
42
On what occasions do people in your country buy things online?
43
I think they often use online stores when they need to buy things from overseas stores.
44
It is really inconvenient and expensive to go to a foreign country just to buy a few items.
45
I guess people also buy items online when they want to have the items delivered directly to friends or relatives as gifts.
46
Why do some people dislike buying things from online stores?
47
In my opinion, they don't want to wait for a long time to get the items that they order.
48
Actually, I don't like that either.
49
I believe a lot of people prefer to visit a store in person
50
because they want to check a wide variety of products before making a purchase.
51
Some products sold online don't meet our expectations once they arrive.
52
In fact, that happens more frequently than you might expect.

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.
