You will hear a telephone conversation between a travel company employee and a customer.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
3
Thank you. be played first.
4
Greek Island holidays.
5
Can I help you?
6
Yes, I hope so.
7
I have a friend who's just come back from Corfu,
8
and she's recommended some apartments in Aralus.
9
She thought they might be on your list.
10
Aralus, Aralus, let me see.
11
Can you give me the names?
12
Yes, the first Rose Garden apartments.
13
I'd like to go with another friend in the last week of October.
14
Well, we've got a lovely studio flat available at that time.
15
I'm sure you'd enjoy the entertainment programme there too,
16
with Greek dancing in the restaurant.
17
The entertainment programme offers Greek dancing,
18
so Greek dancing has been written in the space.
19
Now we shall begin.
20
You should answer the questions as you listen,
21
because you will not hear the recording a second time.
22
Listen carefully and answer questions one to five.
23
Greek island holidays, can I help you?
24
Yes, I hope so.
25
I have a friend who's just come back from Corfu,
26
and she's recommended some apartments in Aralus.
27
She thought they might be on your list.
28
Aralus, Aralus, let me see.
29
Can you give me the names?
30
Yes, the first Rose Garden Apartments.
31
I'd like to go with another friend in the last week of October.
32
Well, we've got a lovely studio flat available at that time.
33
I'm sure you'd enjoy the entertainment program there too,
34
with Greek dancing in the restaurant.
35
And the cost for each of us?
36
£219.
37
That sounds very reasonable.
38
I'm just jotting down some notes.
39
Now, the second one she mentioned was called Blue Bay.
40
Blue Bay.
41
Yes, in fact, that's very popular,
42
and it has some special features.
43
Really?
44
The main attraction is the large swimming pool with salt water.
45
Much healthier, I understand.
46
That's right.
47
And it isn't far from the beach, either.
48
Only 300 metres and only around half a kilometre to some shops,
49
so you don't have to be too energetic.
50
Is it much more expensive than the first one?
51
Let me just check.
52
I think at the time you want to go, it's around £260.
53
No, £275 to be exact.
54
Right, I've got that.
55
Now, there are just two more apartments to ask you about.
56
um i can't read my own writing something to do with
57
sun sunshine is it i think you meant the sunshade apartments
58
they're on a mountainside any special features yes each room has its own sun terrace
59
and there are shared barbecue facilities oh sounds lovely yes it
60
is rather well equipped it also provides water sports it has its own beach there are facilities for water skiing.
61
Any kite surfing?
62
My friend's quite keen.
63
Not at the hotel, but I'm sure you'll find some in Arillis.
64
There's also satellite TV in the apartments.
65
And how much is that one?
66
£490 with two sharing.
67
You mean £245 each?
68
I'm afraid not.
69
Each person has to pay that amount,
70
and there must be at least two in an apartment.
71
Oh, I don't think that would be within our budget, unfortunately and the last one sounds a bit expensive too.
72
The Grand?
73
Actually, it's quite reasonable.
74
It's an older style house with Greek paintings in every room and a balcony outside.
75
Sounds nice.
76
What are the views like?
77
Well, there are forests all round and they hide a supermarket just down the road,
78
so that's very useful for all your shopping needs.
79
There's a disco in the area too.
80
And the price?
81
£319 at that time, but if you leave it till November it goes down by 40%.
82
Hmm, too late I'm afraid.
83
Well, why don't I send you a brochure with full details, Miss...
84
Nash.
85
But don't worry about that.
86
I'm coming to Upminster soon,
87
and I'll call and get one.
88
I just wanted to get an idea first.
89
Well that's fine.
90
Erm, we've got plenty here when you come.
91
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
92
you have some time to look at questions six to ten.
93
Now listen, and answer questions 6 to 10.
94
If you've got a minute,
95
could I just check a couple of points about insurance?
96
I got one policy through the post,
97
but I'd like to see if yours is better.
98
Fine.
99
What would you like to know?
100
Well, the one I've got has benefits,
101
and then the maximum amount you can claim.
102
Is that like yours?
103
Yes, that's how most of them are.
104
Well, the first thing is cancellation.
105
If the holiday's cancelled on the policy I've got, you can claim £8,000 pounds we can improve on
106
that miss nash uh for greek island holidays our maximum is
107
ten thousand pounds that's good of course our holiday won't even cost one thousand pounds together
108
it's still sensible to have good cover now
109
if you go to hospital we allow 600 pounds yes mine's similar
110
and we also allow a relative to travel to your holiday resort my policy just says their representative will help you.
111
You can see there's another difference there.
112
And what happens if you don't get on the plane?
113
Uh, nothing as far as I can see on this form.
114
Don't you have a missed departure?
115
No, I'll just jot that down.
116
We pay up to a thousand pounds for that, depending on the reason.
117
And we're particularly generous about loss of personal belongings,
118
up to three thousand pounds
119
but not more than five hundred pounds for a single item
120
then i'd better not take my laptop not unless you insure
121
it separately okay thanks very much for your time you've really
122
been helpful can i get back to you your name is ben ludlow that's l-u-d-l-o-w I'm the assistant manager here.
123
I'll give you my number.
124
It's 081 260 543 216.
125
But didn't I phone 081 260 567 294?
126
That's what I've got on the paper.
127
That's the main switchboard.
128
I've given you my direct line.
129
Right.
130
Thank you very much for your time.
131
Thank you.

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.
