Creazione lezione...
1
Now turn to part three.
2
You'll hear five different people talking about hotels they've recently stayed in with their children.
3
For questions 19 to 23 choose from the list A to F what each speaker says.
4
Use the letters only once.
5
There is one extra letter which you do not need to use.
6
You now have 30 seconds in which to look at part 3.
7
Speaker 1 We chose this hotel because we knew that the owners had young children of their own.
8
The room could have been a bit bigger, but then it was quite inexpensive.
9
They provided an early supper, if you told them in good time, so that the parents could eat in peace later in the cosy dining room.
10
There were hundreds of toys for the children to play with, a huge garden with a playground, ponds and a playhouse.
11
We hardly saw our two all week.
12
Speaker 2 We always have difficulty finding hotels which welcome our children.
13
This one was particularly good because the bedroom had a separate sitting room so we weren't all squashed together in one room.
14
Although it wasn't the cheapest around, far from it in fact, it was worth it.
15
Our teenage kids loved the outdoor heated swimming pool and the mountain bikes, which were provided free by the hotel.
16
Apparently, the owner's kids, who've grown up and left home now, had been mad on mountain biking.
17
There was also an all -weather tennis court.
18
Another thing we liked was the separate dining room for people with young families.
19
Speaker 3 We'd had a bad experience the year before at a hotel, which didn't cater for children.
20
But this year, we were very impressed by the hospitality of the hotel.
21
The rooms were large enough to accommodate four beds comfortably, and there was an adventure playground in the garden for the younger kids.
22
You don't have to pay for children under 10 sharing the room.
23
Even meals were free for them, so that was another bonus.
24
There was lots to do, including horse riding and tennis.
25
But if you wanted to swim, you had to go to the local leisure centre, which the kids loved.
26
Speaker 4 In the hotel we went to, we had a family suite, which was very spacious.
27
There was an outdoor heated pool and large grounds, so the kids spent most of the time in the pool.
28
So long as your children like swimming, you're alright, because there wasn't much else for them to do.
29
I did think that they could have put in a playground too.
30
Young children under ten aren't allowed in the dining room, but there was an early supper for them.
31
This meant that we could have a quiet dinner for two when they were in bed.
32
Speaker 5 What we liked about our hotel was its size.
33
It was only a small hotel and we were looked after like family.
34
The room had loads of soft toys, wooden toys and books which the children loved.
35
The guest lounge and conservatory was a child -free zone after 7 .30, which suited us fine, because there was a special children's supper at 6,
36
which meant that they could go to bed early and get a good night's sleep.
37
Older children aren't really catered for, and this hotel is probably better for those with younger kids.
38
Now you'll hear part three again.
39
Speaker one.

71
That's the end of part three.

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.
