33
You know, when they were first famous, their songs were more original.
34
Now they just sound like all the other groups playing the same sort of music.
35
I guess they don't care so much because they've made lots of money.
36
You're right about that.
37
They used to be so original back then.

Mr. Jones has given me low marks again.

What?
79
For English Literature?
80
But you are one of the best in class.
81
But he says I don't take part in the lessons.
82
But my exam marks were so good.
83
He is completely unfair.
84
It's because I'm not English.
85
I agree it's not fair, but it's got nothing to do with your nationality.
86
Half the class are not English.
87
But the highest term mark went to someone who isn't as good as me, but is English.
88
I'm sure that if you talk to him, you'll understand what is going on.
89
And to be fair, you are not the most active student in class.

12. You will hear two friends talking about a new film.
107
Have you seen that new film about that boy lost in the jungle?
108
Yes, I saw it last week.
109
It was a bit disappointing as a story, although I have to say the scenery was excellent.
110
Yes, you're right.
111
I've read the book, which was much better.
112
The film did not show any of the events which explained the reasons behind the boy's actions.
113
But, as you said, the scenery was so amazing that it's worth seeing just for that.
114
It has made me want to visit a jungle environment somewhere in the world.

There's so much information on the web and everyone's telling you to do different things.
130
I know.
131
I had the same problems.
132
When I started my blog, I knew less than nothing about blogging.
133
But now I'm very familiar with it and my blog's doing pretty well.
134
I receive nice comments from some readers.
135

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.
