Look at Question 1.
10
1. Which job has the girl decided to do?
11
Have you thought what job you would like to do?
12
Mmm, I think that as I'm a very sociable person, I could become a shop assistant.
13
You'd be good at that.
14
Maybe, but my mum says that kind of work can be quite tiring, as I will have to deal with difficult customers sometimes.
15
Why don't you become a teacher?
16
You're very good at explaining things to others.
17
Good idea, but I like better to work as a nurse.
18
I enjoy looking after people who are sick, so that's what I'll do.
19
OK, but I still think that being a teacher would be an excellent job for you.
20
Now, listen again.

2. What will the boy order?
31
How about ordering a pizza from the place down the road?
32
You can order a small pizza if you like, but I want only a salad.
33
Why?
34
Are you on a diet?
35
No, but I don't like the pizza from this place.
36
I only prefer their burgers.
37
So, do you want to order burgers and chips for both of us?
38
Now that I think, the last time I ate a burger from that place, it wasn't well cooked.
39
So just a salad.
40
Okay then, I'll take my first choice.

55
I want to start a new hobby.
56
I was thinking about table tennis.
57
I've seen you playing and I think it's quite interesting.
58
Although I've given up, as I don't have enough time to play anymore, I still think that it's worth trying it.
59
I joined the school's volleyball team three weeks ago and I spent my whole time in practising for next Sunday's match.
60
It's a shame.
61
You were pretty good.
62
Do you still have guitar lessons or have you stopped them as well?
63
No, I didn't need to as guitar lessons are once a week and last only an hour.

Hi Maria.
74
I'm calling you to ask you to go shopping tomorrow morning.
75
I need you to help me buy a new coat, as next month I'll be going on a school trip to Iceland.
76
I had also thought to buy a new scarf and gloves, but my mum said to take my brother's ones.
77
Although I like his scarf and I'll take it with me, his gloves aren't my size.
78
Mum said that she will buy me a new pair that she had seen online.
79
So, please can we meet tomorrow at the big department store after school?
80
You always help me buy clothes that suit me fine.

91
Who is your sister in this photo?
92
Is she the one with long, dark hair?
93
No. My sister is short hair and she also wears glasses.
94
Fortunately, in this picture, she doesn't wear this terrible hat that she always wears during the summer months.
95
I tell her that it doesn't suit her and that it's very old -fashioned, but she keeps saying that it protects her head from sun.
96
Anyway, I can see her now and she's very beautiful.

105
How about going to see that new adventure movie tonight?
106
It hasn't got good reviews.
107
I read that the acting isn't that great.
108
There's also the new movie with Matt Dillon at the same cinema.
109
That might be good.
110
You know, I'm not keen on romantic films.
111
You can go and see that with Lorna.

There's one at the Odeon, but I think we have seen it.

7. Where does the girl want to go on holiday?
133
Where do you go on holiday this summer?
134
I don't know, but I'd prefer to go to an island and not to the mountains, as we usually do with my parents.
135
My mum says that because we live near the sea, she needs a change on our holiday, so we always go to the mountains and seep in tents,
136
or to big cities and visit museums all the time.
137
I don't like either of them.
138
Now, listen again.

143
or to big cities and visit museums all the time.

I don't like either of them.
145
That is the end of part one.

De situatie: Alledaagse gesprekken voor het B1 Preliminary-examen
De video bevat gesprekken die je dagelijks tegenkomt: over loopbanen kiezen en bestellen bij een restaurant. Deze scenario's zijn perfect om te oefenen voor het B1 Preliminary for Schools-examen, want ze leren je hoe je in concrete situaties begrijpt wat er gezegd wordt en hoe je jezelf helder uitdrukt. Leer Engels met video's zoals deze helpt je niet alleen met het examen, maar ook met echte communicatie in het Engels.
Nuttige chunks en collocaties om te onthouden
- Deal with difficult customers: "Omgaan met moeilijke klanten" – handig voor gesprekken over werk. Bijvoorbeeld: "In mijn baan als winkelmedewerker moet ik vaak deal with difficult customers."
- On a diet: "Op dieet" – een veelgebruikte uitdrukking. Vraag: "Are you on a diet?" betekent "Ben je op dieet?"
- Take my first choice: "Kies voor mijn eerste keuze" – handig bij het maken van keuzes. Bijvoorbeeld: "Ik denk dat ik take my first choice en pizza bestel."
- Look after people who are sick: "Zorgen voor zieke mensen" – perfect voor gesprekken over loopbanen. De jongen in de video zegt: "I enjoy looking after people who are sick."
Je shadowing-challenge: Verbeter je uitspraak direct
Shadowing (of schaduwspreken) is een effectieve techniek om je engelse uitspraak en intonatie te verbeteren. Doe dit nu: Speel de dialogen in de video af, pauzeer na elke zin en herhaal hem onmiddellijk na de spreker. Probeer dezelfde tempo, intonatie en klinkers te gebruiken. Herhaal dit minimaal drie keer per dialoog. De shadowing-techniek helpt je om natuurlijk te spreken, alsof je de woorden zelf bedenkt. Na een paar keer zul je merken dat je sneller reageert en meer zelfvertrouwen hebt in je spraakvaardigheid.
Door regelmatig te oefenen met dergelijke video's en de shadowing-methode kun je je Engels aanzienlijk verbeteren. Begin vandaag nog – elke minuut oefening brengt je dichter bij je doel!
Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt | I've seen · I've given · have seen |
| Betrekkelijke bijzinnen who / which + zin — extra informatie over een persoon of ding | people who are |
| Werkwoord + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — werkwoorden die door de -ing-vorm worden gevolgd | enjoy looking · keeps saying |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — iets dat op een moment in het verleden bezig was | was thinking |
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.
