Creazione lezione...
1
Good morning, Lucy!
2
I'm William, Head of Human Resources Department, and also your interviewer.
3
Good morning. William.
4
Thank you for inviting me.
5
So, Lucy, can you tell me a bit about yourself?
6
I graduated in Marketing, and I’ve been working as an assistant for two years.
7
Why are you interested in this role?
8
I really enjoy social media, and I want to work in a bigger company.
9
I feel like I can learn a lot here.
10
That's a good answer.
11
We love passionate people!
12
Thank you. I'm very excited about this opportunity.
13
And what would you say are your strengths?
14
I’m a quick learner, and I love to make new relationships.
15
I also have strong leadership skills.
16
And what do you think is your weakness?
17
My biggest weakness is that I can’t keep calm.
18
Sometimes I lose control over my reactions.
19
But I'm working on it.
20
Alright! Finally, why should we hire you?
21
I love challenges and I’m able to work under pressure.
22
Wonderful. Thank you for your time, Lucy.
23
We'll be in touch soon.
24
Thank you so much.
25
I look forward to hearing from you.
26
Hello, Anthony!
27
Welcome to the team. How are you feeling?
28
Thank you, John!
29
I’m a bit nervous… but I'm excited.
30
There’s a lot to take in!
31
That’s normal.
32
On the first day, everyone feels that way.
33
I hope that I don't make any mistakes.
34
Don't worry.
35
Just ask if you're not sure about anything.
36
We’re all here to help, and no one wants you to know everything right away.
37
Thanks. That makes me feel a lot better.
38
By the way, where is the meeting room?
39
Oh, it's right down the hall.
40
You’ll see a big sign above the door, so you can’t miss it.
41
Thanks! And what does “down the hall” mean exactly?
42
It just means to walk straight down this hallway.
43
The meeting room will be at the end on your left.
44
Got it. Thank you. John.
45
I’ll try to remember all this and do my best!
46
Just take it one step at a time.
47
Hi, everyone!
48
I’m Alex, and I just joined our marketing team.
49
Hope I can bring some good ideas to the table.
50
Welcome, Alex.
51
Where are you from?
52
I'm from Vinton, a village in Texas.
53
This is my first time working in a big city.
54
That's a big move.
55
What do you like to do outside of work?
56
I love hiking and photography.
57
Hiking? Nice!
58
We've got some great trails nearby.
59
But, wait… are you someone who hikes really early in the morning?
60
Not really! But I can get up early if I want to.
61
Besides, I didn’t move here to stay indoors.
62
We all like hiking, so you’re in good company!
63
We usually go on weekends when you have free time.
64
You can join us.
65
I’d love to!
66
Just not too early, okay?
67
Alright! Just let us know when you can join.
68
That sounds awesome.
69
I'm really happy to be here with all of you.
70
We’re glad to have you, Alex!
71
We're looking forward to working with you.
72
Hey, Tony. Could you help me with this report?
73
I'm not sure about some of the terms.
74
Sure, Vivian!
75
Which parts are confusing?
76
This one says “client feedback analysis.” What does that mean?
77
It means we listen to what customers say about our services and try to understand it.
78
Oh, I see! And this term “benchmarking”?
79
Benchmarking means comparing our results with other companies to see how we’re doing.
80
Thanks, Tony.
81
I was really lost.
82
No problem, Vivian!
83
It's always confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it.
84
I hope so. Thanks again.
85
Excuse me, can you help me?
86
I don't understand the email you sent.
87
What is "ASAP"?
88
Oh, "ASAP" means "as soon as possible." It's just a way to say something needs to be done quickly.
89
Ah, I see! Thank you.
90
I'm still learning some phrases.
91
No problem.
92
If you ever don’t understand something, just ask.
93
Thank you. And what does "CC" mean in emails?
94
"CC" stands for "Carbon Copy." It’s when you send an email to more than one person.
95
If you get an email that has “CC”, it means you’re getting the email, but you don’t have to reply.
96
Wow. The more I work, the more I need to learn.
97
Thank you for explaining!
98
Anytime, Carlos!
99
Oh no! I can't believe I sent the wrong file to the client!
100
It was the draft, not the final version.
101
Oops, that’s tough.
102
But, hey, don't stress too much.
103
These things happen to everyone.
104
I'm so embarrassed.
105
I’ve never made a mistake like this before.
106
Trust me, it's not the end of the world.
107
Just send them the correct file and say sorry for the mix-up.
108
They'll understand.
109
Just fix it and be honest.
110
I guess so.
111
I feel so awful.
112
I hate the idea of giving a bad impression.
113
I don't want them to think I'm careless.
114
I get it, but this doesn’t really say who you are.
115
I know you are normally careful with your work.
116
One mistake like this doesn’t change who you are.
117
Take a deep breath, okay?
118
You're right.
119
I'm probably overthinking it.
120
I’ll send them a quick message, apologize, and send the right file.
121
I just hope they won't be too upset.
122
Exactly. They'll accept that it's a mistake.
123
Clients deal with this stuff all the time.
124
They know things like this happen.
125
Thanks for calming me down.
126
No problem!
127
Now let's have a cup of coffee, shall we?
128
Lisa, I’m sorry for bothering you, but I really need your help!
129
Of course, Jake! What do you need help with?
130
So, Mr. Spencer asked me to set up for a meeting.
131
But I’ve never done it before...
132
No worries! When is the meeting?
133
Tomorrow afternoon.
134
What is it about?
135
It's about the government project.
136
How many people will be attending?
137
10 people. Alright! So, the first thing you need to do is to book a meeting room.
138
Ask Sasha. Tell her you need a room for 10 people.
139
Got it. Anything else?
140
The handouts. Do you have them yet?
141
I haven't printed them out yet.
142
Make sure to print enough copies for everyone.
143
It helps them follow along during the meeting.
144
Good point! I’ll do that.
145
What else do I need to do?
146
Did Mr. Spencer mention a break?
147
Yes. He said there would be a 15-minute break.
148
In that case, you should have some light snacks and drinks ready.
149
Where can I buy them?
150
Just tell Sasha. She will take care of them.
151
Got it. Oh, I almost forgot.
152
Make sure you have a list of the participants' allergies.
153
We don’t want to serve any allergic food!
154
Good point! I’ll do that.
155
What time should I arrive?
156
Arrive at least 15 minutes early to set everything up.
157
You want to be ready before people come in.
158
You’re right! Thank you so much!
159
You’re welcome!
160
Why are you guys here?
161
Because it's coffee time! Do you want to grab a cup?
162
Sure. So, did you hear about the new promotion?
163
No I didn't.
164
What promotion?
165
They are promoting Sarah to team leader.
166
I heard she did a great job on the last project.
167
That’s awesome! Sarah worked really hard.
168
She deserves it.
169
Yes, she does! I remember how she stayed late to finish that report.
170
Exactly! She always goes the extra mile.
171
I think she will be a great leader.
172
I agree. I’m excited to see how she will lead the team.
173
Do you think she will change anything in our meetings?
174
Maybe! I hope she keeps it fun and light.
175
Our meetings can be a bit boring sometimes.
176
Right! A little more energy would be nice.
177
Yes, I hope she brings new ideas too.
178
I think she will.
179
May I come in?
180
Oh, Jake! Sure, please sit down!
181
I’ve been looking forward to seeing you.
182
So may I know why you want to see me?
183
Of course. I want to talk to you.
184
What's on your mind?
185
So, Jake, I’ve noticed you haven’t been collaborating well.
186
Me? Why do you think so?
187
You haven’t been sharing your ideas with the team.
188
I thought I was doing my part.
189
Yes, I know. But Jake, this is a group project...
190
So? I sent out my part!
191
What I want to say is... collaborating on a group project is also important!
192
What do you mean by "important"?
193
We need your input on the whole project, not just your section.
194
I see. I didn’t realize it was an issue.
195
I thought I could just work alone.
196
Working alone can be hard.
197
We can help each other and come up with better ideas.
198
I see your point.
199
Well, I’ll try to communicate more with my team from now on!
200
That sounds good!
201
You can discuss everything together.
202
I appreciate the feedback. I’ll be more open to collaborating.
203
Great! We all want to succeed as a team.
204
Thank you. Have you heard? We’re getting a new boss today.
205
Really? I just started last week, so I didn’t know!
206
What’s he like?
207
Have you heard anything about him?
208
I heard a few things.
209
His name is Mark, and he has a lot of experience.
210
He worked in management for over ten years at a big tech company before coming here.
211
I think he might be strict.
212
You know how it is with new bosses.
213
They always want to make a strong impression.
214
Oh, I see. That makes me a little nervous.
215
I hope he’s easy to work with.
216
Yeah, same here. I’ve had my share of difficult managers.
217
Some of them act like they need to change everything right away.
218
Even if things are going well.
219
Exactly. I mean, we all know things can get better, but changing everything?
220
That’s stressful.
221
I hope so. Here he comes now. He looks busy!
222
But who knows?
223
Maybe he'll be really nice about it.
224
Good morning, team! I’m Mark, your new manager.
225
I’m excited to work with all of you and hear your ideas on how we can make things better.
226
Let's work together to achieve even greater things for this department.
227
Nice to meet you, sir.
228
I’m Emily. I just joined the company last week.
229
Nice to meet you, Emily.
230
I hope you're getting comfortable here.
231
And you must be Sam. The managers have said good things about you.
232
Thank you, Mark.
233
I've been with the company for five years now, and I’m looking forward to working with you.
234
That’s fantastic to hear.
235
It's amazing to learn more about the team and how we can make things run even smoother.
236
I’d love to have a one-on-one meeting with everyone soon, so we can talk about your thoughts and ideas.
237
Let's set a schedule sometime this week.
238
That sounds great. We’re happy to have you.
239
Hey, Jessica! What’s for lunch today?
240
Oh, just the usual stuff, a turkey sandwich and an apple.
241
I didn’t have much time to prepare anything fancy this morning.
242
How about you?
243
I ordered sushi from that new place around the corner.
244
You know the one everyone’s talking about?
245
Oh, I think I know the place.
246
The one with all the great reviews?
247
How is it? It's really good.
248
Fresh fish, nice presentation, and they deliver pretty fast.
249
It's becoming my favorite lunch when I don't bring anything from home.
250
Oh. Sounds good.
251
I want to try it.
252
Maybe we can order together tomorrow.
253
That's a great idea.
254
I'll send you the menu later today and we can find out what to get.
255
Perfect. Oh, by the way, have you heard about the office event next week?
256
They're planning a team building activity.
257
Yeah, I heard about that.
258
I think this day is supposed to be a game day or something.
259
It should be fun, right?
260
I hope so! I like the idea of getting out of the office and doing something different.
261
It's always good to bond with the team outside of work.
262
Hey Alex! How’s your day going so far?
263
It’s been... busy, to say the least.
264
I had back to back meetings all morning, and I'm still catching up on emails.
265
You know how it is.
266
Oh, I feel you.
267
I've had one of those days, too.
268
My inbox just keeps filling up, and every time I clear it, ten more emails show up.
269
It's like a never ending cycle.
270
I just keep reminding myself that the weekend is coming.
271
Haha, that’s what I keep telling myself, too.
272
Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?
273
Yeah, actually.
274
I'm going hiking with a couple of friends.
275
We're heading to that trail just outside the city.
276
It's supposed to have amazing views.
277
Have you ever been there?
278
I think I know that one.
279
I haven't been, but I've heard it's beautiful.
280
Definitely.
281
I love getting out in nature and just disconnecting for a while.
282
No phones, no emails, just fresh air.
283
Oh, that sounds amazing.
284
So, what's the plan for lunch?
285
Should we go together, or is that too risky?
286
I think it might be too risky today.
287
Karen’s been watching us like a hawk lately.
288
I don't want to give her anything to gossip about.
289
Okay. We’ve been careful so far, but I’ve noticed she’s been getting more nosy.
290
Maybe we should take a break for a while at least when we're at work.
291
Yeah, it's a good idea.
292
I mean, I love spending time with you, but we don't want the whole office talking about us before we're ready to go public.
293
I agree. I just hate feeling like we have to hide it.
294
But I guess that's a smart move for now.
295
Hey, guys, what's going on here?
296
You two seem to be spending a lot of time together lately.
297
Oh, just talking about the new project.
298
You know, deadlines and all that.
299
Uh-huh... sure.
300
Oh my God. She actually may know something.
301
Yeah, we really need to be more careful.
302
Hi everyone! We need to plan a team event for next month.
303
I have some ideas, but I want to hear yours too.
304
It's important that everyone has fun.
305
I think a cooking class would be great!
306
Everyone loves food, and we can all work together to make something.
307
It will help us bond as a team.
308
That’s a good idea!
309
Cooking classes are a fun way to learn new skills together.
310
But what if we do something outside?
311
Getting fresh air can be nice for everyone.
312
Oh great point, David.
313
What if we do the cooking class one day and have an outdoor activity the next day?
314
That way, we can enjoy both cooking and nature.
315
I like that!
316
The cooking class will be exciting and the outdoor event can be a good break from the office.
317
For the cooking class, I know a fun place downtown that has great classes.
318
They have an awesome chef who can teach us For outdoor activity, we can go to the park or nature reserve nearby.
319
This is perfect.
320
Let's book the cooking class and I'll check the budget.
321
Hi, Mr. Matt. Do you have a moment?
322
I need to talk to you about something important.
323
Sure, Sophia! What’s on your mind? You look a bit worried.
324
I'd like to take next Friday off.
325
I've been really busy lately, and I think a day off would help me relax and feel better.
326
Hmm... Okay! We all need a break sometimes.
327
Are you feeling okay?
328
I want to make sure you're doing well.
329
Yes, I’m fine. I just...
330
I just have a lot to handle at work, and I want to avoid feeling too stressed out.
331
A day off will help me recharge.
332
That makes sense.
333
You've been working very hard, and I really appreciate all your effort.
334
Just make sure to finish your tasks before you leave.
335
Is there anything urgent coming up?
336
I have a report due on Thursday, but I’m almost finished.
337
I'll make sure everything is ready for the team before I go.
338
I can also let them know how to reach me if they need anything.
339
That sounds great.
340
I trust you will handle it.
341
Enjoy your day off and remember to take some time for yourself.
342
If you need anything, just ask.
343
Oh, thank you so much, Matt.
344
I really appreciate your support.
345
No problem at all.
346
Taking care of yourself is important.
347
I’m really excited about the hiking trip we’re planning for next week!
348
It will be a great way for the team to spend time together outside the office.
349
Have you hiked this trail before, Katie?
350
Yes, I went there with friends last summer!
351
The trail is beautiful and the view from the top is amazing.
352
It’s not too hard, so I think most people can handle it.
353
That’s good to know! We want everyone to have fun.
354
Do you think we should bring anything special for the hike, like food or drinks?
355
Yes. Everyone should bring a lot of water and sunscreen.
356
It can get hot out there.
357
We could also bring some snacks to share when we take a break.
358
Good idea. I'll send a reminder to everyone about what to bring.
359
What if we make the hike a bit more fun with a game, like a finding items?
360
That sounds awesome!
361
We could split everyone into teams and see who can find the most items on the list.
362
Oh, I love that idea.
363
It'll make the hike more exciting, especially for those who don't hike much.
364
It’s a great way to encourage teamwork.
365
Thank you for meeting with me, Brian!
366
I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the promotion.
367
It really means a lot to me.
368
You’re very welcome, Emma!
369
You've worked hard for this, and you deserve it.
370
I'm glad to see you moving up in the company.
371
I’m excited to take on more responsibilities and grow in this new role.
372
I really want to do my best.
373
That’s great! You’ll be leading more projects now, and it’s important to guide the team.
374
You're ready for this challenge.
375
I'm ready for that.
376
I feel good relationships with the team and I want to help everyone succeed.
377
I believe we can achieve more together.
378
That’s the right mindset!
379
I'm here if you need advice or support.
380
It’s a big change, but I’m confident you’ll do well.
381
Thank you! I really appreciate your trust in me.
382
I’ll work hard to make sure this promotion benefits the whole team.
383
Hi, everyone! Can I have your attention, please?
384
What’s up, boss?
385
Are you ready?
386
Ready for what?
387
Ready to meet our new colleagues.
388
Oh, we have newcomers today?
389
Yes! I want to introduce our new developers, David and Ian.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
