1
Hi, you must be Sophie. I'm Raj, from the agency.
2
Yes, that's me. Sorry, the Tube was running late again.
3
No worries at all. Shall we go in before it rains harder?
4
Please. I've been looking forward to seeing this one.
5
So, this is the living room. It's just been repainted.
6
Oh, it's bigger than it looked in the photos.
7
Yes, the bay window makes a huge difference. Lots of light.
8
Is the furniture included, or would I need my own?
9
It comes fully furnished, so you can just move in.
10
The kitchen's a bit small, isn't it?
11
It is, but everything's new. The washing machine was fitted last month.
12
That's good. Does the boiler work properly? My last flat was freezing.
13
It's been serviced this year. You shouldn't have any problems.
14
How noisy does it get at night? It's quite a busy road.
15
Honestly, it quietens down after about ten.
16
And the windows are double glazed, which helps a lot.
17
If I took it, when could I move in?
18
The current tenant leaves on the thirtieth. So, the first of next month.
19
And the rent is twelve hundred a month, right?
20
That's right, with bills not included.
21
Hmm. Would the landlord accept eleven hundred?
22
I can ask, but I wouldn't count on it. Flats go quickly round here.
23
Fair enough. What about the deposit?
24
Five weeks' rent, held in a protected scheme.
25
Okay, I'd like to apply, please. I don't want to lose it.
26
Brilliant. I'll send you the forms this afternoon.
27
If I send them back tonight, how long does it take?
28
Usually two or three days, once we've checked your references.
29
Perfect. Thanks so much for showing me round, Raj.
30
My pleasure, Sophie. Speak soon.

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.
