1
The new 5 Series is an ugly car.
2
Fat at the back and with headlights like Edna Everidge's spectacles.
3
So, to mask the horror, they festooned the M5 with a deep chin spoiler and big exhausts,
4
and M5 badges on every panel.
5
There's nothing quiet or dignified about this.
6
It's a very shouty car.
7
Look at me.
8
Look at how powerful I am.
9
I'm a shark.
10
I've got a fin on my back.
11
And things are even worse when you get inside.
12
There's so much technology in here that you can't just get in and go.
13
I mean, first of all, you've got to choose how ferocious you want the gear changes to be.
14
Got a choice of five settings for that.
15
Then there's three settings for the differential and two for the suspension.
16
You can even choose how long you want the headlamps to stay on after you get home at night.
17
And it's not just like 10, 20, 30 seconds, it's infinite.
18
So, do I want 33 seconds or... Or 34? Or 37?
19
I don't know. Or 42?
20
It's like being in a coffee shop.
21
What do I want skinny?
22
What water do I want in my espresso?
23
30...
24
37. No, 38.
25
It's a good job this is a powerful car, because by the time you've finished fiddling with all the computer stuff, you'll have a lot of time to make up.
26
The engine, however, doesn't sound very powerful when you start it.
27
It sounds more like a diesel.
28
It is quick.
29
It's just that, with a five -litre, 400 -brake -horsepower V10, I was expecting more.
30
So far, then, things are looking bad.
31
The new M5 is too ugly, too flash, too complicated, and not very fast.
32
Then you get to a town and it gets worse.
33
It doesn't really matter what you do with the gearbox.
34
Manual, automatic, soft changes, hard changes.
35
At this kind of speed, it's slow and dim -witted and jerky and you roll backwards and forwards on hills.
36
And the ride's rubbish.
37
And then things get really bad.
38
So, you're driving along, and the tune you really like comes on the radio, so you think, right, I'll turn this up, there's the volume knob, I'll push it.
39
It's gone.
40
And now I've got a fat bint in a tent, warbling.
41
So, you have to go into the computer, entertainment, FM or AM.
42
Who listens to the light programme? Who?
43
Apart from the Queen, and the Queen hasn't got an M5!
44
Why are you giving me this choice?
45
And when you're doing all that, don't whatever you do hit the indicator stalk, because it will not self -cancel.
46
It won't go off.
47
If you try to put the stalk back in the middle again, the other one's gone on.
48
When you do finally get the song you were listening to back on the radio again, nice, you get about...
49
...and then take the second road on the left.
50
...sat -nav woman interrupts.
51
And she, she cannot be turned off.
52
Take the next road on the left.
53
Shut up!
54
Turn left 200 yards ahead.
55
I had to pull over to see if I could shut her down.
56
Please make a legal U -turn.
57
Vehicle position, journey computer, computer, exit assistant window.
58
That's not it!
59
I've had an idea.
60
Oh, yes.
61
Turn the engine off, that'll kill her.

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.
