56
hello hello mr johnson it's sarah here we are having some plumbing problems in
57
our bathroom and need them fixed can you send a plumber out to our apartment today of course but first let's find out what
58
the problems are well to start there is a leak in the sink did you try tightening the pipes
59
yes i did but it still leaks okay what other problems are there
60
the toilet isn't working is the toilet clogged does it flush no it doesn't flash properly
61
then it might be a clock that's right i tried using a plunger but that didn't work
62
have you used any drain cleaner yes i have but it still didn't work and the last problem is the low water
63
pressure in the shower i'll have someone come down to fix it right away okay thank you mr johnson
64
we've been living here for three months now and there's been constant noise in this building i can't take this anymore
65
me neither we must talk to the landlord and make a complaint
66
now what's the problem girls why did you want to speak with me for three months now we've been putting up with constant noise due to repair
67
work on the building exterior some repair work had to be done on the facade and balconies and it will certainly improve the overall appearance
68
of the building but there has been constant banging and jackhammering for three months now
69
because of the extreme noise we're frequently forced to leave the building
70
we can't study under these circumstances if you'll remember we clearly stated from the beginning that we needed a quiet building
71
i'm sorry about that but the good news is it won't last forever we should have been informed about that before we signed our lease
72
i do apologize for the inconvenience but there's nothing i can do about it when we agreed to rent the apartment we were led to believe that we were moving
73
into a quiet building under normal circumstances it is a very quiet building perhaps you should contact the
74
management company who is overseeing the repair work but we signed the lease with you not them
75
well if you want to move out you are free to do so and i suppose we'll have to pay a penalty for breaking the lease right yes that's right
76
i don't think that's fair at all so what do you expect me to do now legally we are entitled to a compensation for loss of peaceful
77
enjoyment you've been lucky to find this apartment with such a cheap rent i think you should appreciate that we could go to arbitration but we'd
78
prefer to settle with you i suppose i could offer you a 10 reduction for now until you move out
79
actually we were thinking of a 25 i'm sorry that's too much
80
like i said we could go to arbitration okay fine it's a deal

Guida Passo-Passo per il Shadowing
Il shadowing è una tecnica efficace per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la comprensione orale. Ecco come affrontare questo video specifico:
- Ascolto Attivo: Guarda il video attentamente almeno una volta senza tentare di ripetere. Concentrati sul contesto e le emozioni espresse.
- Trascrizione Parziale: Inizia trascrivendo alcune frasi chiave del dialogo. Questo ti aiuterà a familiarizzare con la struttura delle frasi in inglese.
- Pratica di Shadow Speech: Guarda il video una seconda volta. Questa volta, utilizza la tecnica del shadow speak ripetendo le frasi subito dopo averle udite. Concentrati sulla pronuncia, l’intonazione e il ritmo.
- Ripetizione e Registrazione: Registrati mentre parli. Ascolta le tue registrazioni e confrontale con il video. Questo ti aiuterà a capire dove migliorare.
- Revisione e Applicazione: Infine, cerca di implementare le frasi chiave in conversazioni quotidiane. Il shadowspeak è particolarmente utile per rafforzare la tua fluidità e sicurezza nel parlare.
Utilizzando queste tecniche e incorporando le frasi chiave apprese, non solo migliorerai la tua pronuncia inglese, ma diventerai anche più a tuo agio nel comunicare in situazioni quotidiane. Buona fortuna nel tuo viaggio di apprendimento!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso | have been looking · we've been living · we've been putting |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | is located · be done · have been informed |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have not decided · haven't found · has been |
| Consigli con “should” should + verbo — dire che cosa è meglio fare | should have · should find · shouldn't change |
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.
