and then act on that by placing repeat orders or putting a new style in.

Extract 2.
38
You overhear a woman telling a friend a story about a swan.
39
Now look at questions 3 and 4.
40
So what happened last weekend?
41
Well, we were taking our boat along the river when we passed a pair of swans with a nest nearby.
42
One swan just carried on feeding, but the other one, the male, I think, decided to come and investigate.
43
Oh, fantastic.
44
I've never seen a swan's nest close up.
45
I expect he was hungry.
46
Well, actually, it was immediately obvious from his body language that he had other things on his mind.
47
He was flapping his wings really hard and approaching at incredible speed.
48
I guess we'd gone too close to the nest.
49
I'd never have done that if I'd known what would happen.
50
Gosh, amazing!
51
I've never heard of swans behaving like that before.
52
So what did you do, Roe like mad?
53
Well, we got out onto the bank, but he followed us up and then stood between us and the boat for about an hour.
54
We just couldn't frighten him away.
55
No, I suppose not.
56
Still, I'm sure he wouldn't have hurt you.
57
Are you kidding?
58
You should have seen the way he moved.
59
Swans can be really aggressive at nesting times.
60
Hmm.
61
Now you'll hear the recording again.

84
You hear part of an interview with Bruce Loder, a successful businessman who's talking about his early life.
85
Now look at questions 5 and 6.
86
The End Bruce, at school you discovered you had a natural talent for art.
87
Yes, I inherited my dad's gift for drawing.
88
I wanted to do representational art, paint portraits.
89
But every college I went to, and there were three who accepted me, all the college tutors said, forget representational art, get a single lens reflex 33mm camera,
90
hit the shutter, crash, there's your picture.
91
Not even Rembrandt could get that accuracy, so it's not worth it.
92
And you believed them?
93
I did.
94
That was my biggest mistake.
95
I haven't picked up a paintbrush since.
96
How did your father react when you told him you weren't going to art college.
97
His face was white with rage.
98
He said, right, that's it.
99
You could have made something of going to college.
100
You won't get another chance.
101
Now I've got a perfectly good job for you on the factory floor.
102
You start this week, take it or leave it.
103
I said, no, I'm going to start a business next.
104
He said, well, at your own expense then.
105
He refused to support you anymore?
106
That's it. And so...

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.
