Track 7 Grandma, did you listen to pop music when you were young?
2
Oh yes!
3
There were all kinds of exciting bands in those days.
4
Really?
5
What did you listen to?
6
Oh, I remember when I was a teenager.
7
It was a summer's evening in 1969.
8
My parents had a colour TV.
9
Colour TVs were fairly new in 1969.
10
Before then, television was only in black and white.
11
Black and white TV?
12
Yes, so this colour TV was rare in those days.
13
There was a music show called Top of the Pops and the Beatles were on.
14
They played songs from their new album, Abbey Road.
15
Oh, it was an amazing performance.
16
They played really well.
17
Abbey Road is still my favourite album of all time I know that album
18

24
Grandma So, what kind of clothes did you wear when you were my age?
25
Girls wore dresses in those days.
26
Short dresses and colourful tights are what I remember from the early 1960s.
27
I had a cool pair of trousers too, with quite short legs.
28
And the guys?
29
The men wore smart clothes at the start of the 1960s,
30
but by the time Abbey Road came out in 1969,
31
the fashion for men was for long hair and beards, and colourful, loose-fitting clothes.
32
And, er, the jacket?
33
Oh yes, the jacket.
34
Here it is!
35
I made this jacket in...
36
I think it was 1965.
37
No way!
38

90
She's beautiful.
91
Yeah, that's Denise.
92
And that's a photo from last year.
93
Do you remember, Lara?
94
She went to that end-of-year party, the prom.
95
Yes.
96
And is that Andy Patterson with her?
97
He's very good-looking, isn't he?
98
Yep, in his black tie.
99
I can't wait till our prom, can you?
100
Do you think I'm going to wear a tie like that?
101
Yes, you have to.
102
Everyone does when they finish school.
103
Hmm, I think the prom comes from America.
104
I don't like it.
105
Oh, Rob, everyone loves the prom.
106
It's the last time we're together as a group, and it's an important party.
107
You have to go.
108

109
But, you know, I think it's silly that girls spend so much money on a dress for one night.
110
I mean, you can get a dress that you can wear again.
111
Denise had a Saturday job in the cafe.
112
She worked really hard for about a year and then bought a dress.
113
I know what you mean, but it's good she didn't ask your parents because it is a lot of money.
114
Mind you, you have to look lovely and boys have to look nice too.
115
I guess, but I'm not wearing a jacket.
116
It's OK, we have to wait for a few years yet, and I have to get a job to pay for my dress.

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.
