6
You ready?
7
So today, I'm going to talk about homes.
8
This is an important topic because we talk about our homes a lot.
9
Let's talk about the different types of homes.
10
Some people live in houses,
11
some people live in apartments,
12
and other people live in other types of homes.
13
Houses and apartments are the most common types of homes.
14
In big cities, people often live in apartments.
15
Apartments are very common in big cities.
16
They're usually smaller and cheaper than houses.
17
Some apartments are in really tall buildings.
18
These buildings can have 20 or 30 floors sometimes.
19
I don't want to live on the 30th floor.
20
I prefer living on the first or second floor.
21
If you live outside the city,
22
you probably live in a house, not an apartment.
23
People that live in the countryside usually live in houses.
24
These houses are usually bigger than apartments.
25
They also have backyards.
26
A backyard is the place behind your house where you can have grass,
27
trees, gardens, or a pool.
28
When I was a kid,
29
I loved playing in my backyard.
30
It was fun to play outside every day.
31
Most apartments don't have backyards.
32
They usually have balconies instead.
33
Okay, now let's talk about the price of houses and apartments.
34
In the U.S., houses and apartments can be really expensive if you live in a big city.
35
In my home state of California,
36
houses and apartments cost a lot of money.
37
The average price of a house in California is almost $600,000.
38
Crazy, huh?
39
It's also really expensive to rent an apartment in California.
40
In the U.S., people usually rent apartments,
41
but in some other countries, people often buy apartments.
42
When I was younger, I shared an apartment with other roommates.
43
It's common to have roommates in the U.S.
44
Sometimes you have good roommates and sometimes you have bad roommates.
45
Have you ever had roommates before?
46
Okay, now let's talk about other types of homes.
47
Some people live in condos,
48
which are similar to apartments.
49
Single condos are part of a bigger building or complex, just like apartments.
50
But in the U.S., many people buy condos,
51
but they don't buy apartments.
52
One more type of home that exists in the U.S is the townhouse.
53
Townhouses are similar to normal houses,
54
but they're often smaller and cheaper.
55
Also, they're usually part of a community of townhouses.
56
So, there are several different types of homes that people can buy or rent.
57
Some people prefer houses, some people prefer apartments,
58
and other people prefer condos or townhouses.
59
I think I prefer houses.
60
I hope I can buy a house in the future.
61
Alright, that's all for today.
62
Leave a comment and tell me what type of home you live in.

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: backyard /bækˈjɑːd/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, countryside /ˈkʌn.tɹiˌsaɪd/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: backyard /bækˈjɑːd/, balcony /ˈbælkəni/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als roommate, backyard, subscribe.
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.
