First, you have some time to look at questions one to four.

Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
15
Hi, come and take a seat.
16
Thank you.
17
My name's Carl Rogers and I'm one of the doctors here at the Total Health Clinic.
18
So I understand this is your first visit to the clinic?
19
Yes, it is.
20
OK.
21
Well, I hope you'll be very happy with the service you receive here.
22
So if it's all right with you, I'll take a few details to help me give you the best possible service.
23
Sure.
24
So can I check first of all that we have the correct personal details for you?
25
So your full name is Julie Ann Garcia?
26
That's correct.
27
Perfect.
28
And can I have a contact phone number?
29
It's 219-442-9785.
30
OK, and then can I just check that we have the correct date of birth?
31
October 10, 1992.
32
Oh, I actually have 1991.
33
I'll just correct that now.
34
Right, so that's all good.
35
Now I just need a few more personal details.
36
Do you have an occupation, either full-time or part-time?
37
Yes, I work full-time in Estrahazes, you know, the restaurant chain.
38
I started off as a waitress there a few years ago, and I'm a manager now.
39
Oh, I know them.
40
Yeah, they're down on 114th Street, aren't they?
41
That's right.
42
Yeah, I've been there a few times.
43
I just love their salads.
44
That's good to hear.
45
Right, so one more thing I need to know before we talk about why you're here, Julie, and that's the name of your insurance company.
46
It's Cawley Life Insurance.
47
That's C-A-W-L-E-Y.
48
Excellent.
49
Thank you so much.
50
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
51
Thank you.
52
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
53
Now, Julie, let's look at how we can help you.
54
So tell me a little about what brought you here today.
55
Well, I've been getting a pain in my knee, the left one.
56
Not very serious at first, but it's gotten worse, so I thought I ought to see someone about it.
57
That's certainly the right decision.
58
So how long have you been aware of this pain?
59
Is it just a few days, or is it longer than that?
60
Longer.
61
It's been worse for the last couple of days, but it's three weeks since I first noticed it.
62
It came on quite gradually, though, so I kind of ignored it at first.
63
And have you taken any medication yourself or treated it in any way?
64
Um, yeah, I've been taking medication to deal with the pain, Tylenol, and that works okay for a few hours, but I don't like to keep taking it.
65
Okay, and what about heat treatment?
66
Have you tried applying heat at all?
67
No, but I have been using ice on it for the last few days.
68
And does that seem to help the pain at all?
69
A little, yes.
70
Good.
71
Now, you look as if you're quite fit normally.
72
I am, yes.
73
So do you do any sport on a regular basis?
74
Yes, I play a lot of tennis.
75
I belong to a club, so I go there a lot.
76
I'm quite competitive, so I enjoy that side of it as well as the exercise, but I haven't gone since this started.
77
Sure.
78
And do you do any other types of exercise?
79
Yeah, I sometimes do a little swimming, but usually just when I'm on vacation.
80
But normally I go running a few times a week, maybe three or four times.
81
Hmm.
82
So your legs are getting quite a pounding, but you haven't had any problems up to now?
83
No, not with my legs.
84
I did have an accident last year when I slipped and hurt my shoulder, but that's better now.
85
Excellent.
86
And do you have any allergies?
87
No, none that I'm aware of.
88
And do you take any medication on a regular basis?
89
Well, I take vitamins, but that's all.
90
I'm generally very healthy.
91
OK.
92
Well, let's have a closer look and see what might be causing this problem.
93
If you can just get up...
94
That is the end of part one.
95
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
96
Thank you.
97
I hope you have answered all the questions correctly.
98
If you have faced any problem, kindly ask us in the comment section.

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.
