That's right.
35
And can I take a contact phone number?

Shall I call you back tomorrow morning?

40
Can you call me back on Thursday before 12?
41
Fine.

Three adults and four children.

Are all the children under the age of 14?
46
They are, yes.
47
Which date do you wish to travel on?

So, the 22nd of October?
51
Not this month.
52
Next month.

November.
54
Right.
55
And I assume these are return tickets?
56
Yes, we want to fly back on the Tuesday.
57
Is that the 25th or the 26th?
58
It's the 25th, so it's going to be a short holiday.
59
We're going to a wedding.
60
We're not going for a holiday.
61
Oh, that's nice.
62
Now, do any travellers have any special requirements?
63
You know, special assistance with mobility and that sort of thing.
64
Oh, well, actually, yes.
65
My son's to cheese.
66
It makes him really, really ill.
67
Fine.
68
So, as soon as I can, I'll look into finding some tickets for you.
69
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10 on page 2.
70
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
71
Now, I wonder if I could just ask you a couple of questions as part of our market research.
72
Would you be happy to do that?
73
Will this take long?
74
Just a couple of minutes, that's all.
75
OK.
76
So, how many foreign visits have you made in the last 12 months?
77
About six, I suppose.
78
And where was your last foreign trip?
79
Well, I was in Egypt in May, then most recently India.
80
Oh, nice.
81
Yes, I'm off for some IT training in Bangalore next month, actually.
82
And was that a vacation?
83
I'd love to go back there for a holiday, but it was for business this time.
84
And I presume you use the internet?
85
I do, yes.
86
And so you've seen our website?
87
Yes, I had a look this morning, actually.
88
Well, we had it redesigned a month ago and we're keen to get feedback on how our customers find it, so...
89
Oh right, er, OK, well, I have to say I found it terribly slow, so I just gave up and thought I'd give you a call.
90
Oh, well, I'm sorry to hear that, but yes, it does happen sometimes.
91
Would it be OK for us to email you with any promotional offers?
92
I suppose so.
93
Well, OK.
94
My address is carter.s at speedtech.com.
95
Is that S-P-E-E-D-T-E-C-H?

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.
