1
Chapter 7 Friday, an evening out.
2
In the afternoon, I'm back in my office, writing emails, checking messages, doing the paperwork.
3
The phone rings.
4
My Sally Hawker mobile.
5
Hey, Shirley, Geoff here.
6
Can I come and see you?
7
Sure.
8
He arrives ten minutes later.
9
Big happy smile.
10
His eyes don't look worried now.
11
Got some news, he says happily.
12
I wanted you to be the first to know.
13
Oh, that's nice, I say.
14
Is it exciting news?
15
He laughs.
16
It is for Clayton Electrics.
17
We've got the Blanding's house contract, I heard this afternoon.
18
Wow!
19
That's great news!
20
Well done, I say.
21
So, Spark and Flash didn't do a quotation, or they just didn't get it?
22
What happened?
23
I don't know, says Jeff, but I did two quotations.
24
I put one on the office computer on Wednesday, you know, when you told me to,
25
but I did a second quotation with much better prices.
26
I didn't put that on any office computer or send it by email.
27
I put it on paper and sent it by motorbike messenger.
28
Nobody in the office ever saw that quotation.
29
I laugh.
30
Very clever!
31
I didn't think of that.
32
And did ICBC like those prices then?
33
He looks at me.
34
You opened the file in the night and read the quotation, didn't you?
35
You knew it was ICBC.
36
Of course, I read it, I say.
37
I needed to know.
38
Huh, Jeff says.
39
Well, Shirley Holmes, Sally Hawker, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?
40
A big thank you dinner.
41
Bread and olives at the Athena restaurant, I say.
42
He smiles.
43
He has a really nice smile.
44
There's a little French restaurant near Richmond Bridge, right by the river.
45
Very good food.
46
They don't do bread and olives.
47
We're meeting at seven o'clock.
48
At home, I'm getting ready when I suddenly remember.
49
It's Friday night.
50
Saeed's chicken dinner.
51
I phone Layla, but Saeed answers the phone.
52
He's home early because he's doing the cooking.
53
This is going to be difficult.
54
I say, I'm really sorry, but I can't come tonight.
55
I'm meeting a client.
56
On Friday evening, Said says, that was last Friday, Leila told me.
57
The client wants me to have dinner with him, to say thank you, I said.
58
You never do that usually, Shirley.
59
You never have dinner with clients.
60
Clients are work, you say, not friends to have dinner with.
61
But this client has very beautiful brown eyes, Saheed.
62
I just want to look into his eyes one more time.
63
I enjoy teasing Saheed.
64
Suddenly, he understands.
65
Ah, okay, this client has nice brown eyes, but can he cook a chicken dinner?
66
Of course not, I say.
67
Your chicken dinners are the best in London, Saeed, and I want some.
68
Can you keep some for me?
69
Can I come round on Saturday?
70
Eight o'clock, he says, and don't be late.
71
Thank you.
72
Thank you.

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.
