Yes, and I can't sell the car until I've paid for it.
3
But it's not only that.
4
I had no idea running a car was going to be so expensive.
5
I wish I'd thought about the other costs before I bought it.
6
It probably wouldn't be so bad if the price of petrol hadn't almost doubled last month.
7
Don't remind me.
8
The petrol alone is costing me a fortune.
9
Lucky you've got that part -time job then.
10
That's just the thing.
11
Nearly all of my wages are going on the car.
12
If I'd waited a bit before buying the car, I'd have managed to save quite a bit by now.
13
I might even have gone on that college trip last week.
14
It sounded great.
15
Oh dear.
16
Can't you ask your dad to help you out?
17
No way.
18
When my grandad left me some money, my dad didn't want me to spend it on a car.
19
If only I'd listened to him, none of this would have happened.
20
I wish he wasn't always right.
21
Well, maybe you should value his opinions more.
22
You do seem to argue with him a lot.
23
If you got on better with him, you might have listened to his suggestions.
24
The worst thing is, Dad wanted me to buy some shares with the money, and now they've gone up by 30%.
25
I should have listened to him.
26
If I'd taken his advice, I'd own a small fortune now instead of a big debt.
27
Oh, Simon, you poor thing.
28
I wish I could help you, but I have even less money than you.
29
At least you have a car.
30
Oh, don't say that.
31
I wish I'd never bought the car.
32
If it weren't for the car, I'd have no money worries now.

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.
