But he never cleans his room.
345
I know, it's always dirty.
346
And nothing is in order.
347
You're right, his room is a mess.
348
Maybe he should move into his car. At the restaurant.

408
I enjoy working in the garden.
409
Do you do everything yourself?
410
I trim the bush and weed the flower muds myself. Who cuts the grass?
411
Oh, it's so big that I hire one of the boys in the neighborhood to do it for me.
412
Well, I must say he does a good job.
413
His work is more than satisfactory.
414
A lazy boy.
415
I'm very angry with my son, Harry.
416
Why?
417
What's the problem?
418
He's not doing well in school.
419
That's a surprise.
420
Harry is a smart boy.
421
Yes, but he never studies.
422
Did you talk to his teachers?
423
Yes, I did.
424
What did they say?
425
He's a nice boy, but he's very lazy.
426
Maybe they're right.
427
I'm afraid so.
428
Have you thought about getting him a tutor?
429
Maybe that's a good idea.
430
I really want him to excel.
431
Let's go look in the phone book now, then. Can I drive there?
432
What time is it?
433
It's three o'clock.
434
Oh no!
435
I'm late! Where are you going? To the dentist.
436
Can I drive you there?
437
Sure, that will help.
438
Do you have a toothache?
439
Yes, and it's very bad.
440
I'm sorry to hear that.
441
I've had it for weeks, and this is the first time that I could get in.
442
My dentist is always so busy.
443
I guess that's a good thing.
444
It means a lot of people like him.
445
A new dress. Who is it?
446
It's me, dear.
447
Don't you have your key?
448
No, let me in.
449
What's in that box?
450
What did you get?
451
A new dress, honey.
452
But you have a closet full of dresses.
453
I know, but I need a new one.
454
What's wrong with all the other dresses?
455
They're not this one!
456
A picnic.
457
Let's go for a picnic.
458
That's a great idea.
459
Where shall we go?
460
Let's go to the park.
461

It has picnic tables and a beautiful lake.
465

466
I'll make some sandwiches.
467
I'll bring soda and cookies.
468
The kids will love it.
469
I'm going skiing.
470
We've got ten inches of snow.
471
Wow, that's terrific.
472
What's so terrific about it?
473
I'm going skiing.
474
Skiing?
475
Are you serious?
476
Yes, it's a lot of fun.
477
Maybe, but it's also dangerous.
478
You need to live on the edge.
479
And you need to make sure you don't fall off it.
480
Traffic rules.
481
Sarah, you can't park here.
482
It's a bus stop.
483
Oh, we'll be back in a few minutes.
484
It's okay.
485
Oh, no, it isn't.
486
You'll get a parking ticket if you leave it here.
487
No, I won't.
488
It's half past five.
489
All the traffic wardens have gone home.
490
Sarah?
491
Yes?
492
Is this your car, ma'am?
493
Excuse me, may I see your license?
494
I'm afraid I've left it at home.
495
In that case, you'll have to take it to the police station within five days. But, but why?
496
You were speeding, ma'am.
497
But I was only doing 75.
498
There's a 70 kilometer per hour speed limit on this road, ma'am. Is there?
499
I didn't see the sign.
500
Well, ma'am, we've been following you.
501
So you were doing 75 too?
502
No, ma'am.
503
We were doing 90 kilometers per hour.
504
And we couldn't catch you.
505
Whew, I'm really tired.
506
Now I have to go home and cook.
507
Do you make dinner every night?
508
Yes, I usually make dinner.
509
And my husband washes the dishes.
510
I live alone, so I do everything.
511
Sometimes I eat out, though.
512
There are some good restaurants in my neighborhood. Where do you live?
513
Near the Penn Center.
514
That's good.
515
There aren't any good restaurants near my house.
516
Does your husband help you do housework much?
517
Hmm, yes.
518
He sets the table almost every night.
519
And he makes our bed every morning, but I usually make all the meals.
520
How about cleaning?
521
We clean the house together every weekend.
522
I vacuum the rooms, and he usually sweeps the floor of the kitchen, and he does yard work.
523
Your husband helps you so much.
524
Does he help do the laundry, too?
525
Well, he's never helped me do the laundry.
526

529
Woo! Was it hard?
530
Well, yes, it was hard.
531
Pretty hard. Did you pass?
532
I don't know.
533
Mrs. Luster didn't tell me.
534
What questions did she ask?
535
First, she asked me what my name was.
536
That was easy, wasn't it?
537
Yes, except I couldn't remember.
538

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.
