That tent of yours is no good.
43
I know, Mum.
44
I was going to look online and find another one, cos it's full of holes.
45
But Steve suggested I share his.
46
Oh, good idea.
47
And your boots?
48
Just look at them.
49
I doubt they'll still fit.
50
Oh, let's replace them.
51
Anne will get you a proper torch.
52
Not that toy thing you've got.

Oh, don't worry about that.

Dad's lending me his one.

Sure.
75
Wow!
76
Looks like a great place you went to.
77
Is that your cousin?
78
He looks different from how I remember.
79
I'm sure he didn't have a moustache the last time I saw him.
80
That was ages ago.
81
He's grown up a lot since then.
82
He used to have quite long hair as well, down to his shoulders.
83
I remember now.
84
It suits him shorter.
85
You actually look quite similar now.

A lot of people say that.

Hi, Mum.

It's Paul.
105
Can you help me?
106
I haven't got my sports bag at school and we're playing volleyball later.
107
I know where it is.
108
I put it next to the wardrobe in my room
109
because Dad said it was in the way next to the table in the living room.
110
Anyway, you should find it.
111
Please can you bring it over to school?
112
I don't want to get into trouble.

Next week I'll put it by the front door so I won't forget it.

128
What is the boy going to do at the running event?
129
So, have you signed up to enter the fun run?
130
Oh, didn't you know?
131
I've got a problem with my knee, so I'm out of this year's race.
132
But I'll be waiting at the finish line ready to get some good pictures of the runners.
133
For the school magazine?
134
Yeah.
135
I was asked to be one of the people giving out water bottles along the route.
136
I'm going to do that.
137
Right.
138
But what I'm doing will make me feel more part of the race somehow.
139
Now listen again.

6. Where will the friends meet?
151
I'm going to the library tomorrow afternoon to work on that geography project.
152
Do you want to meet there?
153
I ought to do something on it too.
154
I'm supposed to see Lisa in the cafe at the station, though if I don't stay long with her I could still come.
155
I'm not really sure because she wants to discuss something.
156
Well, it's up to you.
157
I'll come over to meet you afterwards, but I'll have to get the train home about four.
158
I'll get the train back too.
159
Now listen again.

Seven.
169
What is the earliest time today's football match could start?
170
I'm afraid today's football match will be postponed until a bit later.
171
The original start time was 11 this morning, but due to the very bad weather conditions, we're going to see what's happening in the next hour or so,
172
around midday, and make a decision then.
173
If it stopped raining heavily at that time, we can start immediately.
174
If not, maybe we can begin playing at 1.
175
If we can't do that, we'll have to cancel.

  3. Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come café, moustache, postpone.

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.
