Unit 1, recording 13.
2
1 And most of the people there seem very friendly, so...
3
Yeah, all that side of things is fine.
4
Good.
5
It's just that...
6
Well, I don't want to sound as if I'm moaning already or anything, but I've got a bit of a problem with my boss somehow.
7
It's a bit hard to explain.
8
When you first meet her, she seems perfectly nice.
9
You know, good fun and young and everything. But I don't know.
10
She's got this way of kind of ignoring whatever I say.
11
She doesn't actually criticise me, not openly.
12
But she just doesn't seem to take any of my suggestions very seriously.
13
Oh, how annoying.
14
Yeah, well, I'm supposed to be her assistant manager.
15
Not some junior who doesn't know anything about the job.
16
That sounds awful.
17
Have you tried talking to anyone else about it?
18
Or to her, even?
19
Well, I don't know.
20
I don't feel as if I'm really well enough established there yet.
21
Two.
22
Well, if we hurry, we might just get there.
23
Oh, no. What's the matter?
24
Look!
25
Look at the traffic!
26
It's just solid!
27
Oh, I don't believe it.
28
I mean, how is anyone supposed to get around?
29
Okay, okay, calm down, calm down!
30
Will you stop telling me to calm down?
31
It is so annoying!
32
Oh, come on, will you?
33
Look, there's no point in getting upset about it.
34
It's rush hour.
35
There's bound to be a lot of traffic.
36
Yes, and when we turn up an hour late, I can imagine they're going to be really happy about it.
37
Okay, come on.
38
We're not going to be an hour late.
39
I tell you what.
40
I'll give them a call and tell them we're stuck in traffic.
41
Okay?
42
Yeah, okay.
43
I mean, there's not much else we can do, is there, short of buying a private helicopter?
44
I mean, the traffic in this town is just absolutely ridiculous.
45
Hello?
46
Simon, it's Linda here.
47
Oh, hi.
48
How's it going?
49
There's a bit of a crisis, actually.
50
That's why I'm ringing.
51
I don't know what to do.
52
Oh, dear.
53
You haven't locked yourself out again, have you?
54
No, no. It's.. it's Tony.
55
Oh, Tony?
56
He should have been back hours ago.
57
I mean, he's always here when I get in from work, always.
58
And he's just not here.
59
He's disappeared.
60
Oh, well, never mind.
61
I'm sure he'll come back.
62
He always does, doesn't he?
63
Yeah, but you never know what might have happened.
64
I mean, he's not used to being out on his own.
65
Hmm.
66
Have you looked under the bed?
67
That's where he was last time.
68
Of course I have.
69
No, he's not in the flat.
70
He's gone.
71
I just don't know where.
72
Look, Linda, try not to worry about it.
73
He's probably out with one of his girlfriends or something.
74
Have you called him?
75
He could be in the garden.
76
Yeah, I've looked everywhere.
77
He's not in any of his usual places.

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione

Chi parla usa 24 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come don't, I'm, doesn't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.

  • I suoni “sh” e “zh”: rush /ɹʌʃ/, establish /ɪˈstæb.lɪʃ/, suggestion /səˈd͡ʒɛst.ʃən/
  • Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: ridiculous /ɹɪˈdɪk.jə.ləs/, helicopter /ˈheliːˌkɔptə(ɹ)/

I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:

  • /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: hurry /ˈhʌ.ɹi/, helicopter /ˈheliːˌkɔptə(ɹ)/
  • Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: rush /ɹʌʃ/, establish /ɪˈstæb.lɪʃ/, ridiculous /ɹɪˈdɪk.jə.ləs/, bind /ˈbaɪ̯nd/, criticize /ˈkɹɪtɪsaɪz/

Come esercitarsi con questo video

  1. Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
  2. Inizia a velocità 0,75×, fai shadowing frase per frase e torna alla velocità normale quando diventa facile.
  3. Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come ignore, rush, awful.

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.
