Exercise 4.
2
The first year undergraduates.
3
Two students are talking in the student's canteen.
4
Listen to the conversation and fill in the missing information in the notes below. Is this seat taken?
5
No. May I sit here?
6
Please do.
7
Are you a new student?
8
Yes.
9
I'm Marty from Korea.
10
I got here only yesterday.
11
I'm Alan, second year in law.
12
Nice to meet you.
13
Nice to meet you, too.
14
Alan, could you tell me something about the first year students' life here?
15
Okay.
16
You know, the first year students' life can be exciting but terrifying for the first week.
17
Why is it terrifying?
18
Oh, many first year students will feel very homesick for the first week since this is their first time away from home.
19
By the way, do you live on campus?
20
Yes, I live in a hall of residence.
21
That's good.
22
Living in a hall of residence soon helps you to make some new friends.
23
You know, the university always provides accommodation to the first-year students.
24
They may move out into a rented room in their second or third year, or share a house with friends.
25
I see.
26
That's reasonable for the first-year students so they don't worry about their accommodation and transportation problems.
27
That's right.
28
During the first week, all the clubs and societies will hold a student's fair,
29
during which they try to persuade new students to join their society.
30
Oh, I heard about that.
31
I expected this kind of fare.
32
I'd like to join some sports clubs so I will have something to do in my spare time.
33
The first year students are told
34
that it is important for them to come into contact with many opinions and activities during their time at university.
35
The first week, you may be taken to visit the campus.
36
You can see groups of students walking around the huge campus, finding their way around in the first week of university.
37
And at weekends, the university may organize some trips to places nearby, so you will be quite busy for the first few weeks.
38
It sounds good.
39
All the activities will keep me busy.
40
Thank you, Alan.
41
You're welcome, and hope you will enjoy your stay here.

Over deze les

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.
