At the Park Hi!
2
Do you mind if I sit on this bench with you?
3
Not at all.
4
Have a seat.
5
Thanks.
6
I love this park.
7
We just moved to the neighborhood, and we love having a playground nearby.
8
I can see it's very clean and nice.
9
Yes, it is.
10
It's nice to be able to bring the kids here to get some exercise and burn off some energy.
11
We come here often.
12
Where exactly do you live?
13
We live just around the corner of Russell Street.
14
I see.
15
Our house is on Madison Street by Prescott School.
16
By the way, my name is Sarah.
17
Hi, Sarah.
18
I'm Melissa.
19
It's nice to meet you.
20
Nice to meet you, too.
21
Where do you come from?
22
We came here from Michigan.
23
I have a cousin who lives in Michigan.
24
It gets pretty cold in the winter.
25
Yeah, the winter chill gets right into your bones.
26
Does your son go to Prescott School?
27
Yes, he does. So does my daughter.
28
Maybe they're in the same class.
29
How old is your son?
30
He's eight.
31
He's in grade three.
32
How about your daughter?
33
She's seven.
34
She's in grade two.
35
This playground is awesome, Mom.
36
There's a jungle gym you can climb and a monkey bar.
37
I'm so glad we moved here.
38
I'm happy you like it here, Lucas.
39
Look, this is Sarah, our neighbor.
40
Sarah, this is my son, Lucas.
41
Hi, Lucas.
42
Nice to meet you.
43
Hi.
44
And here comes my daughter, Denise.
45
Denise, this is Melissa, and this is her son Lucas.
46
Hi.
47
Hi.
48
I brought some cookies.
49
Would you like some?
50
I love chocolate cookies, and these look so delicious.
51
How about some apples, too?
52
They'll surely quench your thirst.
53
It's a pretty hot day.
54
That's a great idea, Mom.
55
I'm really thirsty.
56
Lucas, do you want to go on the seesaw with me?
57
Sure!
58
It's fun bouncing up and down.
59
And after that, we can go on the monkey bars or go down the slides.
60
Let's go!
61
I got caught by my mom who found the crayons in my room and asked me where I got them.
62
I was not a good liar and the truth came out.
63
My mom took me to talk to the supermarket manager the next day.
64
I sat in front of him and told him I took the box of crayons.
65
He gave me a scolding and told me not to do it again.
66
I haven't stolen anything since.
67
You've really learned your lesson, huh?
68
Yes, I have.
69
Have you ever held a snake? Are you kidding?
70
No, never.
71
Have you ever had a bad experience with a snake?
72
No, fortunately I haven't.
73
So why are you afraid of them?
74
I don't know, I just don't like them. Do you?
75
I like snakes.
76
I actually have a snake pet.
77
Snakes are my favorite animals.
78
Hmm, that's strange.
79
Have you ever lied to someone you love?
80
Several times.
81
Not that I'm proud of it by any means, but sometimes by lying you protect those you love.
82
For example, I praise my mom's dishes even when I don't like them.
83
Yeah, if you avoid hurting another person.
84
I know what you mean.
85
I also pretend to agree with my dad's point of view, even if I disagree, so that I shouldn't upset him.
86
Have you ever tried an extreme sport like skydiving, bungee jumping, or hand gliding?
87
I've tried surfing.
88
Really?
89
Where did you try it? In Hawaii, last year.
90
What was it like?
91
The first day of surfing was one of the happiest days of my life.
92
The feeling of gliding across the water is unforgettable.
93
How about you?
94
Have you ever tried one of these sports?
95
No, I haven't.
96
I prefer safer sports like cycling or tennis.
97
Vacation plans.
98
What are you going to do this summer?
99
Where are you going?
100
We're traveling all over the U.S.
101
Wow!
102
What states are you going to visit?
103
We're going to start in Los Angeles, California on July 10th, and we'll spend four days there.
104
That's cool!
105
Will you go to Disneyland?
106
You bet.
107
Then we'll spend a few days at the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
108
Awesome!
109
I've always wanted to go there!
110
Then we'll spend two days in Texas and we'll visit the Space Center.
111
Lucky you!
112
After that, we're going to stay in New York for three days.
113
I can't wait to see the Statue of Liberty.
114
We'll also get to see a Broadway show on the weekend that we're there.
115
Then we'll end our trip in Miami for three days.
116
I bet you guys will have a great time.
117
Small talk.
118
Hey!
119
Hey, I haven't seen you around here before.
120
Do you live in this neighborhood?
121
Yes.
122
My family and I moved here one week ago.
123
I'm Scott.
124
I'm Laura.
125
Where did you used to live?
126
Kentucky.
127
How come you moved from Kentucky to Ohio?
128
My dad's work was very stressful there, so he needed to find a less stressful place to work.
129
And my mom said schools were very good here, and this was a very safe community for families.
130
Well, she's right.
131
When you look at our school, for instance, there's hardly any bullying,
132
no social problems, and the teachers are great. That sounds wonderful.
133
Do you play any sports?
134
I play tennis every day.
135
And when I have more free time, I go for a run or cycle.
136
What about you?
137
I go horseback riding.
138
I've won a couple of competitions for my age group.
139
Awesome!
140
Where do you ride now?
141
There's a stable within 10 minutes of the Lodi Outlet Mall, where I ride on Saturdays.
142
I wish I could ride more often, but I'm very busy with school now.
143
Is it hard to ride a horse?
144
I've never been on one.
145
Well, there are a couple of tricks to it, but after you learn them, it's easy.
146
The horses are really big, aren't they?
147
They weigh about 2,200 pounds.
148
Wow, that's a lot.
149
Did you ever fall off a horse?
150
Yes, I did, but luckily, I wasn't seriously hurt.
151
And what do you like to do besides horseback riding?
152
Well, I like to write and read.
153
My favorite book of all time is The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho.
154
I'd like to become an English teacher one day.
155
It's always been my favorite subject, and I think I'd really enjoy teaching it.
156
What about you?
157
What do you want to be?
158
To tell you the truth, I really don't know yet.
159
I'm still trying to figure things out.
160
You have plenty of time to figure out your career path.
161
There's no rush.
162
You're right.
163
Well, this is my house.
164
Where's yours?
165
Mine is next to the bakery.
166
Oh, that's cool.
167
Would you like to go horseback riding with me tomorrow?
168
I would love to.
169
Why don't you meet me out there at 10 a.m.? That sounds great.
170
Giving advice.
171
I haven't felt very well lately.
172
What do you mean?
173
I've had these morning headaches often.
174
I cannot concentrate like I used to.
175
And I also have had some trouble sleeping lately.
176
Tell me a little bit about your diet.
177
What do you eat on a normal day?
178
It depends really.
179
I know I don't eat lots of greens like I'm supposed to.
180
I eat a lot of takeout, especially when I stress about work.
181
And what kind of takeout are you talking about?
182
I really like any kind of meat.
183
There's this Italian place I really like.
184
There it's pizza with pepperoni.
185
And there's a great Chinese place, but there it's fried duck.
186
Got it.
187
And what do you normally drink when you order?
188
Coke, mostly.
189
Or any kind of soda.
190
And where does exercise fall in here?
191
Do you exercise?
192
No, not really.
193
I used to a few years ago, but with the job and everything, I feel like I have no time for it.
194
So, you haven't been sleeping very well, you eat lots of takeout, and you don't exercise.
195
It might very well be that all of these have been affecting you more than you might think.
196
Maybe you're right.
197
I haven't thought about that.
198
You should try to eat healthier and exercise regularly.
199
Like, don't eat fatty foods.
200
Eat more fruit, more vegetables.
201
Identifying and describing people.
202
Oh, hi, Tom.
203
I'm going to get some lunch with Isabella.
204
Want to come?
205
Sure.
206
Actually, I've never met Isabella.
207
She just moved here from Puerto Rico, right?
208
Yeah, she's friendly and fun to be with.
209
She's just over there, in front of the ice cream stand.
210
There are a lot of girls over there.
211
Which one is she?
212
She is the one sitting next to the rose bush.
213
Oh, is she the one with the long, straight red hair?
214
No, she has medium-length black hair.
215
Okay, I think I see her.
216
Is she wearing the pink shirt and talking on her cell phone?
217
No, actually, she's wearing the blue dress.
218
Okay, now I see her.
219
She has an interesting face.
220
Is she a model or a singer or something?
221
No, she isn't, Tom.
222
She's just a normal student.
223
Deciding on a college major Have you decided on a college major yet, Matthew?
224
No, I'm getting really worried.
225
It's one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make.
226
Don't be.
227
It's a difficult decision for everyone.
228
I guess so.
229
I'm such an indecisive person.
230
Maybe because I'm interested in so many different areas.
231
Oh, I understand.
232
I was in the same situation.
233
I chose psychology as my first major, as I was interested in studying about the mind and human behavior.
234
But I soon realized it wasn't as interesting as it seems, at least for me.
235
I switched to accounting as my major after the first semester.
236
Oddly enough, I absolutely hated accounting in high school.
237
Really?
238
Yeah, so you can switch any time to another major if you're not content with your choice.
239
It's not set in stone.
240
You can also opt for double majors, which may give you increased employment opportunities after school.
241
Oh, I haven't thought about that.
242
this.

Che cosa imparerai in questa lezione
In questa lezione, praticherai conversazioni quotidiane realistiche in inglese, come quelle che potresti avere in un parco con un nuovo vicino. Imparerai a presentarti, chiedere informazioni sul quartiere, parlare di famiglia e condividere piccoli gesti di gentilezza, come offrire dei biscotti. È il modo perfetto per migliorare la tua fluidità e la confidenza nel parlare inglese in contesti informali!
Parole e frasi chiave da ricordare
- Do you mind if...: Una frase polita per chiedere permesso (es. "Do you mind if I sit here?").
- Burn off some energy: Espressione per dire "scaricare energia" (utile per parlare di bambini!).
- Just around the corner: Significa "a due passi" (perfetto per indicare la posizione di casa).
- Would you like some?: Modo gentile per offrire qualcosa (es. cibo o bevande).
- Jungle gym: Struttura per giocare con scalini e barrette (conosciuta anche come "giostra").
Consigli per la pratica: shadowing in inglese
Per migliorare la tua pronuncia e la fluidità, usa la tecnica del shadow speak: ascolta una frase dal video, poi ripétila immediatamente, imitando l'intonazione e la velocità. Il dialogo è lento e chiaro, quindi è perfetto per iniziare. Ripeti le parti dove Melissa e Sarah si presentano: "Hi, I'm Melissa" o "Nice to meet you". Focus sulla naturalezza: le pause tra le frasi sono importanti! Usa un shadowing site per registrare te stesso e confrontarti con il video. Con il shadowspeak, i progressi sono visibili in poche settimane: ogni ripetizione rafforza la tua memoria muscolare e la confidenza. Non ti preoccupare di sbagliare: il shadowing in inglese è un gioco, non un esame! Prova a fare 5 minuti al giorno e vedrai come la tua pronuncia diventa più naturale.
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.
