1
Hello?
2
Hello.
3
My name is John, and I'm calling to ask about the apartment for rent.
4
I saw your advertisement online.
5
Yes!
6
Thanks for calling, John.
7
I'm Matthew.
8
I have a two-bedroom apartment and I'm looking for a roommate to share the rent.
9
Great!
10
Where is the apartment located?
11
The address is 345 South Street, Apartment C.
12
It is across from the library and right next door to the pizza restaurant.
13
I know exactly where that is.
14
That's a great location.
15
Yes, I find it very convenient.
16
And what is the rent?
17
It's $800 per month, so your half would be $400.
18
That sounds good to me.
19
Would you like to come by and check out the apartment?
20
That would be great.
21
How about 5 p.m today?
22
Perfect.
23
I'll see you then.
24
So, John, I've prepared a few questions to see if you'd be a good match as a roommate.
25
Are you ready?
26
Go for it!
27
Okay.
28
First of all, are you a smoker?
29
I am not a smoker.
30
Do you smoke?
31
I don't, and I'm really glad you don't either.
32
I would prefer to keep the apartment smoke-free.
33
Me too.
34
I cannot stand the smell of smoke.
35
Perfect.
36
Next question.
37
Are you a night owl or an early bird?
38
I tend to get up early because I like to get to the gym early and work out most days.
39
I've always liked staying active and fit.
40
Great, I'm an early bird as well,
41
and I like to run in the morning whenever I get the chance.
42
How often would you plan on having friends or family visit?
43
Are you very outgoing?
44
I would probably have friends over a few nights a week,
45
but I wouldn't host a lot of parties.
46
I'm pretty laid back and prefer a night of playing cards with friends,
47
rather than a loud and crazy dance party.
48
My little brother will probably come visit a few times a year.
49
But he is really friendly and easy to get along with.
50
That sounds good.
51
I do host a few parties a year,
52
but otherwise, I too just have a few friends over every once in a while.
53
How old is your brother?
54
He's 16.
55
He might be coming to college here in a few years.
56
Do you have siblings?
57
I have a brother too,
58
but he is older than me.
59
He's married and has kids,
60
so he will not be visiting me anytime soon.
61
I think it's cool if your brother wants to come visit us a few times.
62
That shouldn't be a problem.
63
Another question.
64
When it comes to chores and cleaning,
65
what tasks do you prefer to take on?
66
And how clean do you expect the apartment to be?
67
I generally like things to be pretty tidy.
68
I'll gladly help out to make sure we keep the apartment clean.
69
I'll do the dishes and run the vacuum often.
70
How clean do you like to keep things?
71
I'm pretty neat as well.
72
I hate coming home to a messy apartment.
73
So I'm constantly cleaning up the kitchen and mopping the floors.
74
I'd also help out with cleaning the bathroom and dusting around the apartment.
75
It sounds like we would both keep things clean, which is good.
76
What are you studying in school?
77
I'm a chemistry and a biology major.
78
I hope to become a doctor one day.
79
Wow, that's impressive.
80
I am majoring in business,
81
but I am not exactly sure what I will do after I graduate.
82
Do you have any questions for me?
83
Yes.
84
In general, what are some things you like to do?
85
How do you spend your weekends and free time?
86
I like to go to the movies a lot.
87
I also like to cook and try new recipes.
88
On the weekends, I swim,
89
meet friends for lunch, go on hikes, and play video games.
90
How about you?
91
What do you like to do?
92
I love to read and play video games.
93
I also like to go to concerts and listen to music.
94
Nice!
95
I love music as well.
96
Is there anything you really don't like?
97
Hmm, I guess I don't like cold weather activities.
98
I don't like skiing or playing in the snow.
99
I'd rather vacation at a beach than at a ski resort.
100
So, in the winter, I'll probably stay inside a lot and read and watch television.
101
That's funny.
102
I work as a ski instructor during the winter.
103
So while I'm out skiing,
104
you can have the apartment to yourself.
105
Sounds great to me.
106
Oh, I almost forgot to ask.
107
Do you have a car?
108
I do.
109
We have two parking spaces.
110
One is in a garage,
111
and one is on the street.
112
Do you have a preference for where you would park?
113
I'm fine with parking on the street.
114
My car isn't very fancy.
115
It doesn't need to be in the garage.
116
Great.
117
Well, I think we would make a good fit as roommates.
118
What do you think?
119
Yes, I agree.
120
Let's do this.
121
When can I move in?
122
You could move in on Monday if that works for you.
123
Rent would be $400 each month.
124
Sounds great.
125
I'm looking forward to it.
126
Me too.
127
I'll have the landlord add your name to the lease,
128
and you can sign it next week.
129
Awesome.
130
Thank you.
131
We're going to have a great time here.

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questa lezione, imparerai a migliorare le tue capacità di conversazione in inglese attraverso un dialogo che esplora la ricerca di un coinquilino. Il dialogo mette in evidenza domande importanti sulla vita quotidiana, come le preferenze di fumo e i ritmi di sonno, che sono fondamentali per costruire connessioni con gli altri. Questa pratica ti aiuterà a perfezionare la tua pronuncia inglese e a utilizzare espressioni comuni in situazioni di condivisione della casa.

Vocabolario e frasi chiave

  • roommate - coinquilino
  • apartment - appartamento
  • rent - affitto
  • smoke-free - privo di fumo
  • night owl - animale notturno
  • early bird - mattiniero
  • hang out - passare del tempo insieme
  • laid back - rilassato

Consigli per la pratica

Per migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese, ti consigliamo di utilizzare il metodo del shadowing. Questo approccio consiste nel ripetere immediatamente ciò che ascolti, idealmente in tempo reale, seguendo il ritmo e l'intonazione dei parlanti. Quando guardi questo video, prova a shadow speak seguendo il dialogo sulla ricerca di un coinquilino. Fai attenzione alla velocità delle conversazioni e cerca di imitare non solo le parole, ma anche l'emozione e la naturalezza del parlante. La pratica regolare su un shadowing site ti aiuterà a sviluppare una maggiore fluidità e a capire meglio le sfumature dell'inglese parlato.

Ricorda che è importante praticare frequentemente per migliorare. Usa la ripetizione per assimilare frasi e vocaboli, e non esitare a fare pause dopo frasi particolarmente lunghe o complesse. Shadowspeak ti offre l’opportunità di snellire il tuo processo di apprendimento, rendendo più facile la memorizzazione e la produzione di linguaggi in contesti reali. In questo modo, sarai in grado di comunicare in modo più efficace e naturale.

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.
