I'm going to exercise every day and lose five pounds.
6
You watch.
7
Two.
8
Have you made any New Year's resolutions?
9
Sure.
10
I'm going to give up smoking.
11
Why don't you enroll in a program that helps people stop smoking?
12
That sounds like a great idea.
13
Three.
14
I need to get more exercise.
15
You should do more walking.
16
Maybe you could walk to the subway every day instead of taking the bus.
17
Yeah, I think I will.
18
And why not take up jogging?
19
Let's not push it.
20
I can't stand jogging.
21
Four.
22
What are you going to do for the new year?
23
Well, everyone tells me I look too thin.
24
I need to put on a couple of pounds.
25
Why don't you join a gym and lift weights?
26
No time.
27
I think I'll go back and live with my mom.
28
She's the greatest cook.
29
Five.
30
So what are your New Year's resolutions?

I'm going to start eating less meat and more vegetables.
35
Six.
36
I'm getting a little fat.
37
Yeah, I noticed.
38
Hey, come on.
39
Anyway, I'm going to do something about it.
40
Are you taking up jogging?
41
No, but I'm going to start doing sit-ups every morning starting January 1st. Just like this.
42
Watch.
43
One, two...
44
Errgh!
45
Listening to One I used to lift weights, but I didn't really enjoy it.
46
So that's when I started swimming.
47
Now I do it about twice a week.
48
It's much more fun.
49
I go to a nice pool near my office.
50
It's never too crowded, which is great.
51
There are friendly people who go there, so it's a good place to meet people.
52
Two I go out every morning.
53
It's a great way to start the day.
54
It's more interesting than exercising at home like I used to.
55
That was really boring.
56
I go to a beach near my house.
57
It's lovely in the early morning.
58
There's hardly anyone there and you can listen to the ocean as you do it.
59
Three.
60
I used to play both tennis and volleyball, but I play mainly volleyball now.
61
I think it's a lot more fun.
62
I thought tennis was very tiring.
63
It was also difficult to find a partner, and the courts were always crowded, too.
64
With volleyball, I have no trouble finding somewhere to play.
65
Four.
66
I used to take long walks every day, but it got boring.
67
I wanted something more exciting, so that's when I took up rollerblading.
68
It's really fun, but it's not as easy as it looks.
69
It took me a long time to learn how to do it.
70
I fell a lot at the beginning.
71
The great thing is you can do it almost anywhere.
72
My friends think I'm kind of strange because none of them do it, but I love it.
73
Five.
74
I finally bought myself a bicycle.
75
It's a great way to keep fit.
76
I think it's better than going to a health club.
77
It took me a long time to learn to ride it in traffic.
78
I nearly fell off a couple of times.
79
I don't often go on busy streets because that can be dangerous.
80
But there are plenty of places where I can ride near where I live.
81
I use it to get to work sometimes, but only if the weather's nice.
82
Six.
83
I used to go to aerobics class, but I found it pretty silly, all that jumping around.
84
So that's when I decided to take golf lessons.
85
It can be pretty expensive because you have to buy all your equipment and club fees are high.
86
People think it's very easy, but it's not.
87
It's also good exercise because you have to walk a lot.

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.
