Section 1.

You will hear a conversation between a housing agent and a college student who wants to rent a house.

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
4
You will see that there is an example which has been done for you.
5
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.

You must be Joseph.

Yes, that's right.
9
You said on the phone that I could come by at 2 o 'clock.
10
Sorry, I'm a little early.
11
No problem at all.
12
In Calgary's market, you have to move fast if you want a good apartment.
13
Actually, I'd settle for almost anything.
14
I've been here ten days and the hotel is ruining me.
15
My father has me on a strict budget.
16
Sit right down here now, sir.
17
Let's talk a little about the places before we go have a look.
18
Now, we have four apartments available.
19
OK.
20
Could you tell me more about those four apartments?
21
Sure.
22
The first one is on Beetle Road, just a block off campus.
23
It's a three -bedroom with a bathroom and a living room and a great Italian restaurant right next to it.
24
The agent says that the first apartment is a three -bedroom apartment with a great Italian restaurant right next to it.
25
So, restaurant has been written in the space.
26
Now we shall begin.
27
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
28
Listen carefully and answer questions one to four.
29
Good afternoon and welcome to Habitat Hunters.

39
Sit right down here now, sir.
40
Let's talk a little about the places before we go have a look.
41
Now, we have four apartments available.
42
OK.
43
Could you tell me more about those four apartments?
44
Sure.
45
The first one is on Beetle Road, just a block off campus.
46
It's a three -bedroom with a bathroom and a living room and a great Italian restaurant right next to it.
47
How much?
48
Well, it's $435 a month, including internet and utilities.
49
OK, that sounds reasonable.
50
Any drawbacks to the house?
51
There's a really big garden, but it hasn't been taken care of over the years and it's just too big to clean up nicely.
52
Hmm, that sounds OK.
53
Tell me about the next option.
54
The other three -bedroom apartment is on Oakington Avenue on campus.
55
It is right near the building where you have classes and the kitchen and living room are newly furnished.
56
Wow, that sounds like a pretty good option.
57
Well, it is a cool apartment, but since it's a dormitory, the living room, bathroom, kitchen and washing machine are all shared.
58
It would be nice not to have to buy living room furniture, though.
59
And how much is this one?
60
$400 per month for a bedroom with an air conditioner.
61
For a bedroom without an air conditioner, you would pay less, $340 for it.
62
Yikes!
63
Even with the air conditioner, it sounds really inconvenient to have to share facilities.
64
I'll never cook if I have to walk down the hall to use the kitchen Yeah,
65
that's true Before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10
66
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
67
Anyway, the next place is a two -bedroom on Mead Street.
68
Oh, I like Mead Street.
69
That's off campus, right?
70
Yep, it's pretty cool, but it only has two bedrooms plus a living room and a study.
71
But I want to live together with my two friends.
72
So, you could make the study into a small bedroom if you end up living with them.
73
Also, we guys want a TV and DVD player since we're all so much into movies.
74
Well, this place has a great TV and VCR, but no DVD player.
75
No DVD?
76
That's so weird.
77
Are any other facilities provided?
78
As you said, weird enough, it also comes with a wash basin.
79
Is there a washing machine?
80
I think we need that more than just a wash basin.
81
I'm afraid there's no washing machine in the apartment.
82
Wow, that's so old -fashioned.
83
Maybe it's not the best choice for three college guys.
84
How much is it?
85
Well, it's $600 per month, but of course it would be cheaper if you made it into three bedrooms instead of two.
86
And where is the apartment located?
87
It's 2500 Mead Street, where there are a lot of bars.
88
It would be affordable, but it would get pretty noisy, and that sounds really expensive for an old place in a noisy area.
89
How about the last place?
90
This one's on campus in the Devon Close complex.
91
It's a one -bedroom, so it will be a little quieter than the Mead Street place.
92
One -bedroom, huh?
93
That could be good for focusing on my studies.
94
What else does it have?
95
It comes with a living room and a study, and includes a really nice lamp in the study that has a bunch of different settings.
96
You know what else is cool?
97
There's a dining hall downstairs, so all evening meals are free.
98
You can purchase breakfast and lunch, but meals after 6pm are free.
99
Wow, this place sounds too good to be true.
100
Is it really expensive?
101
It's all right.
102
$500 per month, but there's no bathroom.
103
What?
104
No bathroom?
105
Well, there's no bathroom in the apartment, but there's one at the end of the hall.
106
Hmm, thanks.
107
I think now I just have to decide whether I want to live alone or not.
108
Yeah, which one do you prefer?
109
I think I'd choose either this apartment or the one on Beetle Road.
110
OK, you'd better think about it and then you can contact me ASAP fine thanks for your help you're welcome
111
that is the end of section one you now have half a minute to check your answers
112

Perché questo video è ottimo per la pratica di conversazione in inglese
Il dialogo tra l'agente immobiliare e lo studente è un materiale eccellente per chi vuole migliorare la comprensione e l'espressione orale. La conversazione è naturale, basata su scenari quotidiani (noleggio di un appartamento) e usa un linguaggio semplice ma ricco di espressioni utili. Le interazioni sono realistiche, con pause, domande e risposte che riflettono come si parla nella vita reale, il che lo rende perfetto per esercitarsi con tecniche come lo shadowing in inglese.
Analizziamo le frasi chiave
Ecco tre frasi che dimostrano come il linguaggio naturale si differenzia da quello troppo formale:
- "In Calgary's market, you have to move fast if you want a good apartment": L'uso di "move fast" invece di "agire velocemente" è colloquiale e comunemente usato. La struttura "if you want" è semplice ma efficace per esprimere una condizione.
- "The hotel is ruining me": "Ruining me" non significa letteralmente "distruggermi", ma "mi sta facendo spendere troppo". È un'espressione idiomatica che aggiunge realismo al dialogo.
- "Any drawbacks to the house?": "Drawbacks" è un sinonimo di "svantaggi" ma più informale. La domanda abbreviata ("Any drawbacks...?") è tipica delle conversazioni informali, dove si evita la struttura completa ("Are there any drawbacks...?").
Una routine di pratica: shadowing e registrazione
Per sfruttare al massimo questo video, prova questa routine per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la fluidità:
- Ascolta il dialogo una volta per capire il contesto e le intonazioni.
- Ripeti frasi brevi subito dopo l'audio, imitando la pronuncia, il tono e la velocità (tecnica shadow speech). Concentrati su espressioni come "I'd settle for almost anything" o "including internet and utilities".
- Registrati mentre ripeti e confronta la tua registrazione con l'originale. Nota le differenze nella pronuncia di suoni come "th" in "three-bedroom" o nella pausa tra le parole.
- Ripeti il processo per 10-15 minuti al giorno. Un buon shadowing site può aiutarti a sincronizzare la tua voce con l'audio, ma anche un semplice cellulare funziona.
Con questa pratica costante, noterai presto un miglioramento nella tua capacità di parlare in modo naturale e confidente.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | has been done · I've been · has been written |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | has been done · will be played · has been written |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | student who wants · example which has |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | will hear · will see · will be |
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.
