A broken leg.

It didn't break, but we never got it back.

Oh no!

9. You will hear two friends talking about the new library at their school.
31
The new school library's great!
32
Everything being self -service takes a bit of getting used to.
33
I found it quite useful having someone there to ask if you couldn't find something.
34
True, but the new system works well.
35
It's pretty quiet there too.
36
I can't concentrate at home because of my little sister, so I always stay now to get everything done for the next day's lessons.
37
Good idea.
38
Yes, and of course I'd never have the books I needed because I always forgot to get them before I went home,
39
which isn't a problem if I stay.

10. You will hear two friends talking about a new clothes shop.
51
I like that new clothes shop.
52
Me too.
53
The one I usually use is so far out of town I hardly ever go there.
54
Me neither.
55
And you have to get two different buses.
56
The people who work at the new shop couldn't be nicer.
57
The lady who served me was a bit miserable, actually, but the others seemed OK.
58
It's not too expensive, either.
59
Maybe it's because it's only just opened, but I found the range of styles they had was quite narrow.
60
I think the other shop definitely has a bigger variety of things for teenagers.

73
What do you think of the new boy Finian?
74
He seems pretty cool to me.
75
He certainly knows lots of jokes and funny stories.
76
We could hardly stop him talking at break time.
77
Not that we really wanted him to.
78
And he answered at least twice as many questions as I did during the maths class.
79
You're really good at maths too.
80
Maybe, but he also knew a lot about what we were discussing in our groups in the history class.
81
I tried to get him to come to training for the school football team, but I didn't manage to persuade him.

95
I thought I'd be relieved not to have to listen to music coming from his bedroom all evening.
96
I couldn't believe it when tears actually started running down my cheeks last night, and this morning too, when he wasn't at breakfast.
97
I never knew you two were so close.
98
We weren't.
99
You just get used to someone being there, though.
100
And when they're suddenly not, it's strange.
101
Even though I know he hasn't gone hundreds of kilometers away like some students do, he'll probably be back most weekends.
102
Now listen again.

Yes, but I'm progressing really slowly.
115
The teacher wants me to learn each skill well before we move on to the next.
116
Does your coach do that?
117
Pretty much, yes.
118
Even though I practice between the sessions with my family, I'm sure I'd improve more quickly if someone showed me a few other skills.
119
That's why I need your help.
120
When I watch you play, I can see you doing loads of things I'd like to be able to do,
121
but I forget how you do them as soon as I go home.
122
Now listen again.

Are you still having tennis coaching?

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.
