1
Track 19, Unit 5, Listening, Exercise 3 Morning.
2
Good morning.
3
Just a moment and I'll be with you.
4
Now, how can I help you?
5
Yes, I phoned you earlier about an eco -holiday You know,
6
one of those holidays where you don't damage the environment at all And you get close to nature Yes, I remember Mr Petrov, isn't it?
7
Yes, Igor Petrov You said you were going to look up what was available at rather short notice I did,
8
and I've got a few things here Just before I show them to you though, let me get down a few details OK Right,
9
now, how long are you hoping to go for?
10
A week?
11
A month?
12
I originally planned to go for three weeks, but I think actually two would be better Fine, I'll just note that down
13
I think it's a good length for a holiday You don't want to go for too long
14
or it's difficult to get back to work again afterwards, I always think And what's the limit on how much you're prepared to pay?
15
Yes, I don't really want to go above £1 ,750 if I can help it.
16
Fine.
17
Oh, but when you come to look at the brochures, I should just point out that each of them has a discount if you pay in advance.
18
Oh, that's good.
19
How much is it?
20
It depends on the holiday you choose, but it's worth bearing in mind.
21
Do you have any special requirements which I should note down, by the way?
22
Er, yes.
23
One thing I'm keen on is having travel insurance while I'm away.
24
So, can you give me a quote?
25
Well, I can't actually at the moment, because our internet connection is down just now.
26
But as soon as we have it up and running again, and we know what holiday you've chosen, I'll give you a call.
27
Is there anything else?
28
Yes, there is, actually.
29
I'm not a meat eater, so you'll need to specify to the airline that I need to eat vegetarian meals when I fly.
30
OK.
31
Vegetarian meals.
32
By the way, what nationality are you, Mr Petrov?
33
I'm Russian.
34
From St Petersburg, originally.
35
I'd just ask because I may need to see if you'll need a visa for some of the places you might visit.
36
I'm just pointing that out because you want to go fairly soon and it can sometimes be quite a lengthy process.
37
So, what options are still available?
38
OK.
39
There are these three possibilities which I managed to print out earlier.
40
I thought they looked good.
41
OK.
42
Let's have a look.
43
The first is called the Dumbarton Tablelands.
44
It looks pretty good to me.
45
It's in Western Australia.
46
The holiday really involves being close to and watching animals, almost living with them in fact,
47
because you get to stay in quite a luxurious house
48
or cabin built high up in a tree and surrounded by lovely countryside.
49
And, you know, there are birds and lizards and things, if you like that sort of thing.
50
So you're very sort of...
51
Close to nature.
52
Close to nature, that's right.
53
Sounds interesting.
54
I guess I could enjoy that.
55
What else have you got?
56
Well, there's this one in the Bago Nature Reserve where you go
57
and stay with a local family in their house in a small mountain village away from other tourists
58
and the usual tourist spots so you discover lots about the way they live
59
and you sort of live in the family share their meals help them with their work
60
that sort of thing not
61
so much of a holiday then well it depends on you it's very different
62
and they say a change is as good as a rest
63
and then there's san luis island yeah what happens at san
64
luis well it's a small island just a few miles from the coast of central america
65
but i'm not sure if it's really up your street you might like it
66
because international tourism hasn't spoiled it yet
67
but i'd say it's more a holiday for young people You go and live in a hostel and, you know,
68
you help paint the local school and you get to meet the kids and sort of try your hand at teaching.
69
Teaching?
70
What?
71
Oh, English or maths, whatever you're good at.
72
What makes the island interesting, though, is their emissions policy.
73
There are no cars.
74
You have to walk or use a bicycle to get about and you get there by sailing boat.
75
Sounds wonderful.
76
Track 19, Unit 5, Listening, Exercise 3 Morning.

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.
