I think she's the chair of the council.

That's right.
38
And she told me a lot about it.

How it's a way for young people to discuss local issues, for example, and make suggestions to the town council.

That's what made me interested.

Fine.
42
Well, let me take down some of your details.
43
First of all, how old are you?
44
You know the council is for young people aged from thirteen to eighteen?
45
I've just turned eighteen.
46
And where do you live, Roger?
47
Well, that's a bit complicated.
48
At the moment, I'm looking for a flat to rent here, so I'm I'm in a hostel from Monday to Friday.

I go back to my parents' place at the weekend.

53
That's 17 Buckley Street.

It's a lovely town.
59
And what's the postcode?

PE97QT.
61
Right, thank you.
62
So are you working here or are you a student?
63
I started studying at the university a couple of weeks ago
64
and I've got a part-time job for a few hours a week.
65
What do you do?
66
Well, I've done several different things.
67
I've just finished a short-term contract as a courier and now I'm working as a waiter in one of the big hotels.
68
Uh-huh.
69
That can't leave you much time for studying.
70
Oh, it's not too bad.
71
I managed to fit it all in.
72
What are you studying?
73
My ambition is to go into Parliament eventually, so my major subject is politics.
74
That's partly why I think the Youth Council is important and want to be a part of it.
75
And I suppose you're also taking a minor subject, aren't you?
76
I know a lot of people study economics too.
77
I chose history.
78
To be honest, I'm not finding it as interesting as I expected.
79
Before you hear the rest of the phone call, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
80
Now listen and answer questions six to ten.
81
OK, so with your studying and your part-time job, do you have time for any other interests or hobbies?
82
Well, I spend quite a lot of time cycling, both around town to get to university and to work, and also long distance, from here to London, for instance.
83
That's pretty impressive.
84
Anything else?
85
For relaxation, I'm also keen on the cinema.
86
I used to go at least once a week, but I can't manage to go so often now.
87
Right.
88
Are you sure you'll have enough time for the Youth Council?
89
Yes, I've worked out that I can afford to reduce my hours at work and that will make the time.
90
So is there any particular aspect of the Youth Council's work that appeals to you, Roger?
91
Well, my sister is blind,
92
so I'm particularly interested in working with disabled young people to try and improve the quality of their lives.
93
That's great.
94
Well, the best way to get involved is to be nominated by some people who you know.
95
Right.
96
Can you tell me how to set about organising that?
97
You should talk to Geoffrey, our elections officer.
98
I can arrange a meeting in the council office with him, if you like.
99
Yes, please.
100
He'll be here next Monday, if that suits you.
101
That's the 14th, isn't it?
102
Yes.
103
I can manage late afternoon.
104
Would you like to suggest a time?
105
He generally leaves around 5.30.
106
Well, would 4.30 be OK?
107
My last class finishes at 4, so I'd have plenty of time to get to your office.
108
Right, that's fine.
109
Oh, and could I have a phone number we can contact you on?
110
Yes, my mobile number's 07788 136711.
111
Thank you.
112
Well, we'll look forward to seeing you next week.
113
Thanks very much.
114
Goodbye.
115
Bye.
116
That is the end of Section 1.

118
Now turn to section 2.

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.
