1
Hey you!
2
This is your carpet speaking.
3
Hello!
4
Hey!
5
I take a real beating from you and your family every day.
6
The kids track mud all over me, the dog leaves a bunch of fur balls everywhere, you spilt coffee the other day while entertaining guests,
7
and your husband left a trail of potato chip crumbs from the sofa to the kitchen last night
8
while watching the football game don't you think it's about time to give me a good cleaning now pick up that phone
9
and call master cleaners
10
now I see them on the TV all the time they'll clean any three rooms for $29 .95
11
and any connecting hall is free plus they'll throw in a free bottle of their amazing stain remover
12
and if you call now you'll receive a 15 % discount off their already low prices
13
so come on give them a call at 637 -5001 and make life for me a little easier.
14
Hey, Sam, you have a minute?
15
Sure, unless this is about the great dishwasher mystery again.
16
I don't want to talk about that.
17
It is not a mystery.
18
Dishes don't magically wash themselves.
19
Someone who, and I won't name names, but it might rhyme with Pam or a jam,
20
keeps putting dirty bowls next to the dishwasher and not in it.
21
Okay, okay, guilty.
22
But in my defense, the dishwasher looked, and it always looks, intimidating.
23
It has two buttons, Sam.
24
Exactly.
25
But what if I press the wrong one and it launches into space?
26
That might honestly solve the problem.
27
Look, I'll do better but while we're confessing things, can we talk about your 6 a .m blender routine?
28
I woke up thinking the apartment was being attacked by a very angry robot.
29
I mean, it goes off and it makes terrible noises.
30
But I need my smoothies to survive.
31
They're basically my fuel.
32
You got to get that bananas, the jackfruit.
33
You can't just eat that.
34
Then I'm begging you, maybe fuel up before sunrise.
35
I think you mean after sunrise, my guy.
36
that's what i meant after sunrise okay how about this you learned how to use the dishwasher
37
and i promise to not blend anything before seven deal
38
and maybe we can make a cleaning schedule perfect stress -free living starts today great
39
now should i press the start button or is that too for beginners.
40
Hello?
41
Hi.
42
I'm calling about the ad for the apartment found in today's newspaper.
43
Okay.
44
I'm kind of desperate and I need something right away.
45
Okay.
46
What would you like to know?
47
First of all, how big is it?
48
It's a two -bedroom apartment with a living room, dining room and kitchen and one bathroom.
49
There is also a place for a washer and dryer.
50
Okay, and how old is the apartment complex?
51
Well, let's just say it has a lot of history.
52
To be honest, my great -grandfather built it during the 1920s, but it's a very sturdy and sound structure.
53
Oh, and so is the apartment furnished at all?
54
Oh, yeah, the apartment is partially furnished with a refrigerator, stove, and my grandmother's old dishwasher.
55
Your grandmother's old dishwasher?
56
Well, yeah.
57
Okay, what's the rent?
58
It's $950 a month
59
Whoa, that is a little steep for me
60
But you could always split the cost with a roommate
61
Perhaps, does that include utilities?
62
Well, the rent includes gas and electricity, but not the phone bill
63
And the water pump is right out the back door Water pump?
64
Yeah Oh, yeah
65
Well, can I rent month to month or do I have to sign a lease for a longer period of time?
66
We require a six -month commitment for the apartment.
67
And if you cancel the agreement any time during that period, hey, you lose your deposit.
68
Oh, and how much is the deposit?
69
It's $400.
70
And of course, this money is used to repair damage or general wear and tear on our apartment.
71
Like the leaks in the old roof from last year's snowstorm.
72
Man, that was ugly plaster falling down from the ceiling
73
and I didn't even know there was a rat's nest up there but we got that taken care of.
74
What?
75
Do I get my deposit back after I move out?
76
That's assuming I even move in.
77
Generally speaking we return the deposit minus a small fee for you know cleaning the apartment for the next tenant
78
but if you trash the place then don't expect to get anything back.
79
Okay oh.
80
How close is the apartment to the university campus?
81
It's about eight blocks from campus, but you can catch a number of buses right out in front.
82
Oh, so then if there's a busy road out front, is it noisy?
83
Well, there are always trade -offs.
84
It's a little noisy with the road outside and the airport behind you,
85
but the place is really convenient because there's a supermarket and shopping center right across the street.
86
Just keep the windows closed and a pair of earplugs handy, and you'll be fine.
87
Okay, and one last question.
88
Are there parking spaces for tenants?
89
Yeah, the apartment has two covered parking spaces, which are really convenient during certain times of the year.
90
Uh, I don't know.
91
Is it possible for me to drop by and visit the apartment tomorrow morning?
92
Sure, but just remember we rent the apartment on a first -come, first -served basis, so there's no guarantee it'll still be available then.
93
Okay, thanks.
94
And where exactly is the apartment located?
95
It's one block west of the wastewater treatment plant.
96
Oh, are pets allowed?
97
Well, you can keep small pets like a hamster in a small cage, but we don't allow larger animals like dogs,
98
cats, or snakes, things like that.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
