Listening 1 1 Who are you buying a gift for?

It's a present for Annie, to say thank you for helping me with a school project.

Any ideas?

I think some jewelry would be nice, maybe a bracelet?

I don't know.

A bracelet sounds expensive.

How about this keychain?

That's a great idea.

2 Are we getting Mom a Mother's Day present this year? Of course.

I was thinking of getting her some flowers.

Oh, flowers are nice, but it's our Mom.

We should get her something really special.

I know.

Let's get her some really nice jewelry.

I agree.

Let's get her that bracelet we saw last week.

3. Are you going to Brandon's graduation party, too?

Yes, and I think we need to bring a gift.

Oh, that's right. For Brandon.

Hmm.

How about a necktie?

I don't know.

I wonder if a tie is really useful.

You're right.

I know.

A pen.

Perfect.

Let's get him a pen.

Four.

Do you see anything here that we can get to take to Jason and Allison's wedding?

Not really.

Can't we just bring them some flowers?

No, flowers aren't right for a wedding.

We have to bring them something nice for their home.

Oh, I see.

Hey, how about this teapot?

Yeah, that looks nice.

Let's get it.

Five.

That was nice of the Roberts to invite us to dinner.

Yes, and we need to bring something.

Like a hostess gift?

Exactly.

What about that teapot we saw at the store today?

Well, for dinner, you usually bring something a little less expensive, like, um...

Like flowers?

Perfect.

Six.

I'm trying to think of a gift for my dad for Father's Day.

Any ideas?

How about a pen?

That's a good idea, but he has so many pens.

I see.

What about a tie?

Um, yeah.

He certainly needs ties to wear to work.

Okay.

Let's go to the department store.

I'll help you pick one out.

Listening to 1.

What do you think of this necklace for Mother's Day?

Well, the style is good.

Is it too big for her, though?

Is it too wide?

No, the size is okay.

How much is it?

It's, um, wow, $150.

That's pretty expensive.

Well, how about the color?

The color is perfect.

So is the style.

You should just put it on your credit card.

It is Mother's Day, after all.

Two.

Wow, look at this shirt.

What a great color.

Yes, the color is nice.

Is it his style?

Yeah, the style is okay.

And Dad can use a shirt this color.

How much is it?

It's $50.

Hmm, that's okay.

Not great, but okay.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

What about the size, though?

Yeah, it's too big, and this is the only size.

Well, should we buy it?

No. The color is good, but the size isn't right.

So even though the price is okay, let's keep looking.

3. How about these glasses for Laura and David's wedding?

The style is good.

They have a nice shape.

Let's see.

They're $60 for four glasses.

Doesn't that seem expensive?

They're awfully small.

No, the size is okay, and the price is actually okay, too, for a really nice set like this.

Okay, but do they only have that color?

100

Hmm, yeah, it looks like they're all blue.

101

Are blue glasses useful?

102

I mean, will they go with their other stuff?

103

Now that you mention it, I don't think blue is a good idea.

104

Yeah.

105

Let's look for something similar in another color.

It's exactly his size.

111

Hmm.

112

I would prefer blue, but I guess brown is okay for him.

113

That's what I thought.

114

And the price is right.

115

How much is it?

116

It's only $29.99.

117

Well, that's a great price.

118

And the size is good, but what about the style?

119

Hmm, you don't like the style?

120

No, the sleeves are wrong.

121

I don't like that style at all.

184

Listening 3 1.

185

I see you're looking at the chocolates.

186

That's a perfect gift to take your host for a dinner here.

187

but not a good idea to take home as a souvenir.

188

They'll melt.

189

But these chocolates are very high quality, and they aren't imported.

190

They're made right here from local ingredients.

191

There are two kinds, dark chocolate and light chocolate, but only one size.

192

They're all two-pound boxes, but they might not be right for everyone because some have nuts.

193

You have to be careful because some people are allergic to nuts.

194

Two.

195

These candles are a good gift if you are going to a housewarming party.

196

They come two to a box, so the number is perfect.

197

You don't want to get four of anything.

198

It's bad luck.

199

There are three sizes.

200

These are medium-sized, but you can get shorter and taller ones, too.

201

They're really convenient because they come already wrapped.

202

And notice the wrapping paper is yellow.

203

Yellow is a perfect paper color for wrapping this kind of gift because it means happiness.

204

Oh, and they're completely natural.

205

They're made of beeswax and other natural ingredients.

206

Three.

210

There are two styles, red with black writing and black with red writing.

211

As for sizes, we have, let's see, small, medium, large.

212

I'm afraid they don't come in extra large.

213

Anyway, they're made from 100% organic cotton, too.

214

They're a great deal for the price.

215

Four.

216

These watches are very popular souvenirs for any girls or women on your gift list.

217

They're quite pretty, aren't they?

218

They're more like jewelry than just watches.

219

Local artists make the wristbands.

220

The beads in the bands are all made from stones that come from the local region.

221

And they're all different.

222

Notice, here's one with mostly green stones, and here's one with mostly blue stones.

223

The watch part itself comes from Japan.

224

It's very good quality.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
