Hi, it's Sam.
2
I wanted to check whether we could meet a bit later today.
3
I was originally thinking about meeting at 3, but I've just found out I need to stay at work for a short meeting with my manager.
4
It shouldn't take long, but just to be safe, could we make it 3 .30 instead?
5
After that, I'm completely free, and I'd really like to go over the details of the project with you.

Hi, it's Daniel.
12
I was just thinking about my plans for the weekend and wanted to tell you.
13
I've had a really busy week, and I'm looking forward to relaxing a bit.
14
My friends invited me to go camping with them in the mountains, and at first I wasn't sure, but now I think it could be fun.
15
We're planning to leave early on Saturday, and come back on Sunday afternoon.
16
I haven't been camping in a long time, so I need to check my tent and sleeping bag.
17
I hope the weather is good, because I really need some fresh air.
18
Anyway, that's what I'll be doing.

good morning this is sarah speaking i was getting ready for work and thought i'd share something funny with you.
29
Every day I try to eat a healthy breakfast, but sometimes I don't have much time, so I keep things simple.
30
Most mornings I pour myself a bowl of cereal with cold milk, because it's quick and easy, and it keeps me full until lunchtime.
31
I used to make toast or scrambled eggs, but these days I'm usually in a hurry.
32
I've tried different types of cereal, but I always go back to the same one because it tastes great and reminds me of my childhood.
33
Anyway, that's my usual breakfast routine.

Hello.
42
Excuse me, could you help me for a moment?
43
I'm looking for something specific, but I'm not sure where to find it.
44
I'm travelling next month and I need a small backpack that I can use for day trips.
45
It doesn't have to be very large, but it should be strong enough to carry a water bottle, a camera, and a few personal things.
46
I saw some jackets and shoes over there, but I didn't see any backpacks.
47
I'd prefer one with several pockets so I can organize everything easily.
48
If you have any recommendations or if there are new arrivals, I'd love to take a look.
49
Could you point me in the right direction?

Hi it's Mark.
60
I finally moved into my new flat last week and I wanted to tell you a bit about it.
61
It's been a stressful process but now that everything is in place I'm really happy with the result.
62
The flat has two bedrooms, a modern kitchen, and a small living room.
63
But my favourite part is definitely the quiet neighbourhood.
64
Even though it's close to the city centre, the street is peaceful and there's hardly any traffic in the evenings.
65
I can sit on the small balcony and enjoy the fresh air without hearing loud cars or people shouting.
66
It's such a nice change from my old place, I think I'm going to love living here.

Hi, this is Clara.
77
I wanted to leave you a quick message because I've been trying to get in touch about something small.
78
You remember the books I borrowed from you a few weeks ago?
79
Well, I finally finished reading them and I'd like to return them before I forget.
80
I really enjoyed them, especially the second one.
81
The story was so engaging I could barely put it down.
82
I'll be home this evening.
83
So if you're around, I could drop by and leave them at your place.
84
Also, I'd like to catch up and see how everything's going with your new job.
85
Anyway, let me know what time works for you.

Hi there, it's Julia.
95
I was talking to my colleague this morning about the best way to get to work, and it made me realize how lucky I am with my daily commute.
96
A lot of people drive or take the bus and spend a long time stuck in traffic.
97
But I usually take the train, and it's much easier for me.
98
I leave the house at the same time every morning, walk about 10 minutes to the station, and then take a train that gets me directly to the office in 20 minutes.
99
The trains can be busy, but they're usually reliable.
100
I like using the time to read, listen to podcasts, or just relax before starting the day.
101
It's a routine that really works for me.

Hi, it's Leo calling.
111
I wanted to talk to you because I'm feeling a bit stressed about my studies.
112
I've been preparing for an exam that I have tomorrow.
113
And even though I've studied a lot I still feel unsure about some topics I've reviewed all my notes
114
Watched online lessons And asked my classmates for help But there's just so much information to remember On top of that, I realized yesterday
115
That I can't find two of my coursebooks I think I may have left them in the library But when I checked, they weren't there
116
I'm worried
117
because they had important chapters I wanted to revise I guess I'll have to manage with what I have
118
And hope for the best Hi, it's Leo calling.

Hi, this is Amelia.
128
I just wanted to tell you about the hotel I stayed in last weekend because it was such a strange experience.
129
When I first arrived, everything looked perfect.
130
The reception was astonishing, the staff were polite, and the location couldn't have been better.
131
But as soon as I went up to my room, things changed.
132
The bedroom looked fine, but when I walked into the bathroom, I noticed something wasn't right.
133
The tiles looked old and there were tiny cracks in the wall.
134
The shower didn't work properly either, the water pressure was really weak.
135
I was tired, so I didn't complain, but it definitely wasn't what I expected from a hotel with such good reviews.
136
Next time, I'll do more research.

week only, we've decided to lower this price to encourage more people to participate.
148
Whether you're interested in yoga, high -intensity workouts, or dance sessions, there's something for everyone.
149
Feel free to ask at reception if you need more details.
150
Good afternoon.
151
This is a message from your local sports center.
152
We wanted to let you know about a special promotion we're running this week.
153
If you've been thinking about joining our gym or trying out some of our classes, now is the perfect time.
154
Normally, our weekend fitness classes are quite popular, but also more expensive because they include personalized coaching and smaller group sizes.
155
However, for this week only, we've decided to lower this price to encourage more people to participate.
156
Whether you're interested in yoga, high -intensity workouts, or dance sessions, there's something for everyone.

Hi everyone, this is Adam from City Radio.
159
Today I want to tell you about an issue that has been affecting many workers across different industries.
160
Over the last few months, more and more people have been reporting that their working hours have increased significantly.
161
Many companies are asking their employees to stay late, finish extra tasks, or even work weekends to meet deadlines.
162
Although some people don't mind doing this occasionally, others feel it's happening far too often.
163
As a result, they are struggling to balance their personal lives with their jobs.
164
Some say they barely have time to rest or spend time with their families.
165
It's becoming a serious problem, and experts are encouraging companies to review their policies.

Hi, it's Olivia.
176
I wanted to tell you a bit about the language course I took abroad last summer
177
because it was one of the best experiences I've ever had.
178
The school was small, which meant the classes were never too crowded, and that made it easier for the teacher to focus on each student.
179
After classes, the school organized different social activities like cooking lessons, cultural tours, and optional sports events.
180
I met people from so many different countries, and we all became really good friends by the end of the course.
181
the teaching materials were excellent too
182
but what i loved most was the chance to practice the
183
language outside the classroom in everyday situations it really helped me improve

Hello, everyone.
192
This is your teacher speaking.
193
I wanted to share some thoughts on the use of mobile phones in the classroom
194
because it's a topic that comes up quite often.
195
Many students want to use their phones to take notes, check definitions, or search for something quickly.
196
And honestly, phones can be useful tools if students use them responsibly.
197
The problem is that they can also be incredibly distracting.
198
Messages, notifications, and social media can easily interrupt the lesson.
199
I'm not against using phones completely, but I think it's important to follow some simple rules so they don't become a problem.
200
If students can stay focused and only use their phones for learning, then I believe they can be a positive addition to the class.

Speaker A.
211
On Sunday afternoons, I like staying indoors.
212
After a long week, there's nothing better than relaxing on the sofa with a good book or watching a film.
213
It's the only time of the week when I can truly get away from the routine and enjoy some quiet time alone.
214
Speaker B.
215
Sundays are my favorite day to go outside.
216
If the weather is nice, I usually go for a long walk or sometimes even a hike.
217
Being outdoors helps me clear my mind and get ready for the week ahead.
218
Speaker C.
219
Honestly, on Sundays, I'm not at ease at all.
220
To tell the truth, it's nuts sometimes.
221
I usually have a lot of work to finish for university, so I spend most of the afternoon at my desk.
222
I don't really get a break, but at least it helps me start the week feeling prepared.
223
Speaker D.
224
Most Sundays I drive to my Piblings house.
225
They live only 20 minutes away, and it's a nice opportunity to have lunch together and catch up.
226
I love the coffee my aunt prepares.
227
It's simply mouth -watering.
228
It's a tradition that we've kept for years.

248
Working from home definitely has advantages, but it's not always easy.
249
I've noticed that I'm more productive because I don't have to commute and I can start my tasks earlier.
250
However, there are times when I miss having colleagues around.
251
When you spend the whole day alone, it can feel a bit isolating.
252
I agree with you about the isolation.
253
Even though video calls help, they're not the same as talking to people in person.
254
And sometimes having so many online meetings in one day is exhausting.
255
I also find it hard to disconnect from work.
256
When your office is at home, it's easy to keep checking emails or finishing small tasks late in the evening.
257
Yes, I know what you mean.
258
Finding a balance is the hardest part.
259
We need clear routines to separate work time from personal time.
260
Absolutely, working from home can be great, but only if we manage it properly.

Good afternoon everyone and thank you for coming to today's presentation about taking a gap year before university.
276
A lot of students feel unsure about whether they should take time off after finishing school.
277
Some worry it might delay their studies or make them lose motivation, but a well -planned gap year can actually be incredibly valuable.
278
It gives young people the opportunity to gain real -world experience, learn new skills, and sometimes even discover interests they didn't know they had.
279
Nevertheless, it's important to understand that a gap year requires planning.
280
One of the most common mistakes is simply traveling around without reflecting on the experiences
281
or thinking about how they relate to future goals.
282
A gap year shouldn't just be a long holiday.
283
It should be a meaningful period of growth.
284
Setting objectives, keeping track of your progress
285
and staying mindful about what you learn can make all the difference
286
so if you're considering a gap year take the time to plan it properly good afternoon everyone

Welcome to today's session on how social media affects the way we understand news and information.
300
Over the past decade, more and more people have begun relying on social media platforms for their daily updates.
301
While this has made news more accessible it has also created new challenges one of the most worrying issues is
302
that people tend to follow accounts that reflect their own beliefs
303
which means they mostly see information
304
that confirms their existing opinions this creates what experts call an
305
echo chamber where alternative viewpoints are rarely considered another concern is the spread of misinformation posts can be shared
306
so quickly that false stories reach thousands of people before anyone checks whether they are true
307
That's why media experts strongly recommend verifying information using several reliable sources before sharing it online.
308
Social media can be a powerful tool, but only if we use it responsibly.

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.
