1
Hey, Georgie.
2
Hi.
3
Hi.
4
What's the matter?
5
My mother caught me.
6
Caught you?
7
Doing what?
8
You know.
9
I was alone.
10
You mean?
11
She caught you? Where?
12
I stopped by the house to drop the car off and I went inside for a few minutes.
13
Nobody was there.
14
They're supposed to be working.
15
My mother had a glamour magazine.
16
I started leaving for it.
17
Glamour?
18
So one thing led to another.
19
So what did she do?
20
First she screams, George, what are you doing?
21
My God!
22
Then it looked like she was gonna faint.
23
She started clutching the wall, trying to hang on to it.
24
I didn't know whether to try and keep her from falling or zip up.
25
What did you do?
26
I zipped up. So she fell?
27
Yeah.
28
Well, I couldn't run over there the way I was.
29
No, I guess you couldn't.
30
I wouldn't think so.
31
So she fell, and then she starts screaming, My back!
32
My back!
33
So I picked her up, I took her to the hospital.
34
Oh.
35
How is she?
36
She's in traction.
37
Sorry.
38
It's not funny, Elaine.
39
I know, I'm fine.
40
Her back went out.
41
She's got to be there for a couple of days.
42
All she said on the way over in the car was, Why, George?
43
Why?
44
I said, because it's there.
45
Glamour?
46
I'll tell you this, though.
47
I am never doing that again.
48
What?
49
You mean in your mother's house or all together?
50
All together.
51
Oh, give me a break.
52
Right.
53
You don't think I can?
54
No chance.
55
You think you could?
56
Well, I know I could hold out longer than you.
57
Care to make it interesting?
58
Sure.
59
How much?
60
$100.
61
You're on.
62
Wait a second.
63
Wait a second.
64
Count me in on this.
65
You?
66
Yeah.
67
You'll be out before we get the check.
68
I want to be in on this, too.
69
Oh, no. Oh, no. Why?
70
Oh, that oranges.
71
What?
72
Why?
73
Why?
74
Because you're a woman. So what?
75
It's easier for a woman not to do it than a man.
76
We have to do it.
77
It's part of our lifestyle.
78
It's like, uh, shaving.
79
Oh, that is such a baloney.
80
I shave my legs.
81
Not every day.
82
All right, look, you want to be in?
83
Yeah.
84
You got to give us odds.
85
At least two to one.
86
You got to put up $200.
87
No, a thousand.
88
Yeah, I'll put up $150.
89
All right, you're in for $150.
90
Okay, $150.
91
All right, now, how are we going to monitor this thing?
92
Well, obviously, we all know each other very well.
93
I'm sure we'll all feel comfortable within the confines of the honor system.
94
All right.
95
Come on.
96
Get it.
97
Yeah!

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.
