It's very popular, and it's based in a lovely little town with nice beaches.

So, is that by coach actually it's by minibus we like to keep those two as small and personal

45
or 13 all right

64
All of the rooms have nice views and the food is really good there too.
65
Oh, right.
66
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
67
you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
68
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
69
and what about the other things you know that are included in the price
70
oh there are lots of things
71
if you don't want to do the whale watch cruise your
72
guide will take anyone who is interested either on a bushwalk through the national park near the hotel
73
and there's no extra charge for that
74
or on a fishing trip that's an extra twelve dollars i think and And there's also a reptile park in town.
75
That costs more or less the same.
76
No, I think I'd prefer whales to snakes.
77
Yeah, and if you just want to relax,
78
you're free to sit by the hotel pool or go down the beach.
79
Oh, and they also have tennis courts at the hotel,
80
but you have to pay for those by the hour.
81
But there are table tennis tables downstairs,
82
and they are part of the accommodation package.
83
Just speak to your guide.
84
Well, that sounds good.
85
So how much is the basic tour price?
86
At this time of year,
87
it's usually around $300, but let me check.
88
Oh, it's actually $280.
89
And the next tour, are there any places on that one?
90
How many people is it for?
91
There are two of us.
92
Yes, that should be fine.
93
Can I just mention that we require all bookings to be made at least 14 days before you travel,
94
to avoid cancellations of tours?
95
And if you cancel within seven days of departure,
96
you will have to pay 50% of your total booking.
97
Okay.
98
And you also need to pay a 20% deposit at the time of booking.
99
Can I pay that by credit card?
100
Yes, you can.
101
All right.
102
What I'll do is I'll talk to my partner and get back to you.
103
Fine.
104
So, I'll make a provisional booking, shall I?
105
Two for the Whale Watch experience.
106

Contesto & Sfondo

Il video "Dreamtime Travel Agency" ci offre un'interessante conversazione telefonica tra un consulente di viaggi e un cliente. Questo dialogo è un ottimo esempio di comunicazione quotidiana in inglese, incentrato sul settore dei viaggi e sull'organizzazione delle vacanze. Gli ascoltatori potranno apprendere vocaboli e frasi utili, in particolare se sono interessati a fare un viaggio. L'obiettivo principale di questa sessione è fornire agli studenti l'opportunità di migliorare la loro comprensione e pronuncia in inglese attraverso pratiche di shadow speech, che consistono nell'imitare le frasi pronunciate nei registrazioni per perfezionare la propria lingua.

Le 5 Frasi Chiave per la Comunicazione Quotidiana

  • “Good afternoon, Dreamtime Travel. How can I help you?” - Un modo formale ed educato per iniziare una conversazione.
  • “I’m interested in the holidays you offer along the coast near here.” - Utile per esprimere il proprio interesse in un servizio.
  • “How long does it last?” - Perfetta per chiedere informazioni sulla durata di un tour o di un evento.
  • “Is that by coach?” - Importante per chiarire i mezzi di trasporto utilizzati.
  • “When is the next one going?” - Una domanda pratica per ottenere informazioni sui programmi futuri.

Guida Passo Passo al Shadowing

Per sfruttare al meglio il video, ti consigliamo di seguire queste semplici fasi:

  1. Ascolta attentamente: Riproduci la registrazione e ascolta con attenzione le intonazioni e la pronuncia del consulente di viaggi e del cliente.
  2. Annota le frasi chiave: Scrivi le frasi importanti che hai annotato nel punto precedente e cerca di capire il loro significato nel contesto.
  3. Ripeti in parallelo: Avvia il video e prova a ripetere le frasi insieme ai relatori, cercando di imitare la loro pronuncia e il loro ritmo. Questo è fondamentale per migliorare la pronuncia inglese.
  4. Pratica regolarmente: Dedica del tempo ogni giorno al tuo esercizio di shadowing. Puoi usare queste frasi come base per costruire le tue conversazioni quotidiane.
  5. Controlla i tuoi progressi: Registra la tua voce mentre pratichi, poi riascolta per identificare aree di miglioramento.

Utilizzando tecniche di shadowing, come quelle offerte in questo video, potrai migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese e diventare più sicuro nei tuoi scambi comunicativi. Non dimenticare di incorporare le sessioni di shadowspeaks nella tua routine di apprendimento per ottenere risultati più rapidi!

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.
