Hello!
2
Oh, hello.
3
I was hoping to speak to Jack Fitzgerald about renting a cottage.
4
I'm his wife Shirley and we own the cottages together so I'm sure I can help you.
5
Great.
6
My name's Tom.
7
Some friends of ours rented Granary Cottage from you last year and they thought it was great.
8
So my wife and I are hoping to come in May for a week.
9
What date did you have in mind?
10
The week beginning the 14th, if possible.
11
I'll just check.
12
I'm sorry, Tom, it's already booked that week.
13
It's free the week beginning the 28th, though, for seven nights, In fact, that's the only time you could have it in me.
14
Oh.
15
Well, we could manage that, I think.
16
We'd just need to change a couple of things.
17
How much would it cost?
18
That's the beginning of high season, so it'd be £550 for the week.
19
Ah, that's a bit more than we wanted to pay, I'm afraid.
20
We've budgeted up to £500 for accommodation.
21
Well, we've just finished converting another building into a cottage which we're calling Cherville Cottage.
22
Sorry, what was that again?
23
Chervil.
24
C. H E R V for Victor I L Oh, that's a herb, isn't it?
25
That's right.
26
It grows fairly wild around here.
27
You could have that for the week you want for £480.
28
Okay, so could you tell me something about it, please? Of course.
29
The building was built as a garage, It's a little smaller than Granary Cottage.
30
So that must sleep two people as well.
31
That's right.
32
There's a double bedroom.
33
Does it have a garden?
34
Yes, you get to it from the living room through French doors and we provide two deck chairs.
35
We hope to build a patio in the near future, but I wouldn't like to guarantee it'll be finished by May.
36
Okay.
37
The front door opens onto the old farmyard, and parking isn't a problem.
38
There's plenty of room at the front for that.
39
There are some trees and potted plants there.
40
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time.
41
It has standard things like a cooker and fridge, I presume.
42
In the kitchen area there's a fridge freezer, and we've just put in an electric cooker.
43
Is there a washing machine?
44
Yes.
45
There's also a TV in the living room which plays DVDs too.
46
The bathroom is too small for a bath, so there's a shower instead.
47
I think a lot of people prefer that nowadays anyway.
48
It's more environmentally friendly, isn't it?
49
Unless you spend half the day in it.
50
Exactly.
51
What about heating?
52
It sometimes gets quite cool at that time of year.
53
There's central heating, and if you want to light a fire, there's a stove.
54
We can provide all the wood you need for it.
55
It smells so much nicer than coal, and it makes the room very cosy.
56
We've got one in our own house.
57
That sounds very pleasant.
58
Perhaps we should come in the winter to make the most of it.
59
Yes.
60
We find we don't want to go out when we've got the fire burning.
61
There are some attractive views from the cottage which I haven't mentioned.
62
There's a famous stone bridge, It's one of the oldest in the region and you can see it from the living room.
63
It isn't far away.
64
The bedroom window looks in the opposite direction and has a lovely view of the hills and the monument at the top.
65
Well, that all sounds perfect.
66
I'd like to book it, please.
67
Would you want to deposit?
68
Yes.
69
We ask for 30 % to secure your booking, so that'll be, er, £144.
70
"And when would you like the rest of the money?" You're coming in May, so the last day of March, please.
71
Fine.
72
Excellent.
73
Could I just take your details so that I can...

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questa lezione, avrai l'opportunità di migliorare la tua comprensione orale e la tua pronuncia mentre segui una conversazione che si svolge tra un potenziale affittuario e il proprietario di un cottage. Ascoltando il dialogo, potrai apprendere come porre domande rilevanti, discutere di prezzi e caratteristiche di un immobile, e acquisire familiarità con le espressioni comuni utilizzate nelle situazioni di affitto. Inoltre, questa lezione ti permetterà di esercitare il tuo shadowspeak, una tecnica efficace per migliorare la pronuncia inglese.

Vocabolario e frasi chiave

  • renting a cottage: affittare un cottage
  • wife: moglie
  • booked: prenotato
  • high season: alta stagione
  • budget: budget
  • fridge freezer: frigorifero con congelatore
  • environmentally friendly: ecologicamente sostenibile
  • garden: giardino

Consigli per la pratica

Per massimizzare i benefici di questa lezione, ti incoraggio a praticare il shadowing, ripetendo immediatamente dopo l'ascolto delle frasi. Poiché il dialogo ha un ritmo moderato, prova a seguire il parlato mantenendo il tuo tono il più simile possibile a quello dei parlanti. Inizia con brevi segmenti e aumenta gradualmente la lunghezza delle frasi man mano che ti senti più sicuro. Questo approccio non solo ti aiuterà a migliorare la pronuncia inglese, ma anche a familiarizzarti con la struttura delle frasi e l'intonazione naturale del parlato. Utilizzando un shadowing site, puoi ascoltare il dialogo più volte, fermarti per ripetere le frasi e migliorare ulteriormente le tue abilità. Ricorda, la chiave per un shadowspeak efficace è la pratica costante e l'attenzione ai dettagli.
Buona fortuna e buon divertimento mentre pratichi!

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.
