45
Is that OK?
46
That's fine.
47
OK, it's 614381997.
48
But if you want to contact me, usually the best way is by email.
49
OK, what's your email address then?
50
It's susansmith at post .com.

59
Well, I don't start work until the 25th of February
60
but I'd like to give myself some time to settle in A couple of weeks would be nice let's say, from the 10th of February.
61
Our leases start from a Monday, and the Monday closest to that is the 8th of February, would that suit?
62
That's fine.
63
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 4 to 10 on page 2.
64
Now listen and answer questions 4 to 10.
65
You OK, let's talk about what kind of place you'd like to rent.
66
Hmm, I like the outdoors, so my dream would be a house that has its own garden.
67
Is there anything else you'd consider?
68
An apartment, for example?
69
I don't know.
70
They usually don't have an outdoor area.
71
But I guess, as an alternative, if you could find me one with a large balcony, I'd be happy.
72
How many rooms do you want?
73
Usually one -bedroom places are too small.
74
Two would be ideal.
75
Now, what would you like to have in the place when you move in?
76
I'm bringing most of what I need with me.
77
I have beds and sofas and a television, all that sort of stuff, so none of that is necessary.
78
Sounds like you want a partially furnished house with a washing machine.
79
Actually, I'm bringing that too.
80
All I really need in the place is a fridge.
81
I don't have one, so we'll definitely need one.
82
Okay.
83
Can you find something like that for around $350 a week?
84
Well, I'll certainly try.
85
I'll start looking for places that cost around $300 and see if there's anything suitable.
86
You definitely won't need to pay more than $400 for something like that.
87
Oh, that's good.
88
I couldn't pay more than that.
89
All right, I'll see what I can find.
90
You're working at the hospital.
91
Do you want to live somewhere near there?
92
Most people think it's strange, but I don't like living close to work.
93
But I'm a mad keen surfer, so it's important for me to be close to the beach.
94
OK.
95
Do you need to be near public transport?
96
No, I usually drive to work because I work a lot of shift work.
97
So wherever I live, we'll need to have parking close to the door so I won't have to walk far at night.
98
Anything else?
99
I've heard that power bills can get quite expensive, especially in the winter.
100
It'd be great if electricity was part of the rent.
101
OK, just one last question for our records.
102
Where did you hear about us?
103
You're calling...
104
That is the end of Section 1.
105
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
106
Now turn to section 2 on page 3.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
