Creazione lezione...
1
David, could I talk to you for a moment?
2
Sure, Emily. Come in and take a seat.
3
I'm afraid I've made a mistake with an order.
4
Okay. Tell me exactly what happened.
5
I sent the wrong price to a customer yesterday.
6
It was ten percent lower than it should be.
7
I see. Has the customer replied yet?
8
Yes, they've already accepted the offer.
9
Hmm. How did it happen?
10
I used last year's price list by accident.
11
I should have checked the date on the file.
12
Well, I'm glad you told me right away.
13
How much money are we going to lose?
14
About four hundred dollars on this order.
15
That's not great, but it's not a disaster.
16
What do you think we should do?
17
I could call the customer and explain the mistake.
18
If I apologize, they might accept the correct price.
19
Maybe, but I'd rather keep them happy.
20
Let's keep the lower price this one time.
21
Thank you. I'm really sorry about this.
22
It happens. So how can we stop it happening again?
23
I'll delete the old price lists today.
24
And I'll ask someone to check every offer.
25
Good. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
26
I'll be much more careful from now on.
27
I know you will. Thanks for being honest.
28
Thanks for understanding, David.

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.
