Hello, everybody.

Hello.
5
Welcome to the Grange Park Sports Centre.
6
I'll just show you around the centre and explain what we offer here.
7
And then you can ask me questions.
8
Well, as you can see, this is quite a small centre.
9
but we offer a lot of different activities at different times of the day.
10
If you'd just like to come through here, you can see the main rooms.
11
That's nice.
12
These are nice and light and airy and we have a very good air conditioning system.
13
So they are warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
14
Nice.
15
Here we have classes of yoga, tai chi, pilates and zumba at different levels.
16
We also have different types of dance class,
17
jazz dancing, Indian dancing and Latin dancing.
18
Oh, we've just started offering flamenco.
19
All our teachers are fully qualified and experienced.
20
We have beginners classes up to advanced.
21
Some of our students have been coming since we opened 10 years ago.
22
So if a good time.
23
So, if you could follow me through here.
24
Oh, mind the steps here.
25
We've got the sauna and massage rooms.
26
We have very reasonable prices for massages.
27
And over here, we have the gym with exercise machines.
28
It's quite a small gym
29
But usually there's plenty of room for people to move around without any problems OK, that's about it
30
Over there we have the changing rooms with showers
31
You do need to bring your own towel if you want a shower
32
But you don't need to bring a mat for the yoga and pilates classes
33
Oh, and I must mention the cafe.
34
It's just off the main entrance.
35
That's very popular with our clients.
36
We have a great selection of teas, fresh juices, sandwiches and cakes.
37
Very nice.
38
Right, the prices
39
You can join for three months,
40
six months or a year and that gives you the right to use the gym and go to two classes a week
41
If you want to go to more classes or use the sauna there's a small extra charge
42
For three months the fee is £86.
43
B. OK, let me show you the gym.
44
My name's Bill and I'm the main sports trainer here.
45
But we have a team of four specialists who are always around to help you with exercise programmes
46
and give advice about lifestyle and diet.
47
We strongly recommend that you talk to one of us as soon as you sign up
48
and set up your personalized training program.
49
So through here we have the main gym.
50
As you can see, it's enormous and we have lots of brand new machines.
51
You can do everything here, running, cycling, rowing, weights, you name it.
52
although we have a lot of clients
53
it's very unusual to have to wait for a machine over there is the area for weight training
54
if you want a closer look at the machines
55
you can come back later oh by the way
56
you can only come in here with trainers on no outdoor shoes please okay
57
then okay through here we have the swimming pool it's great isn't
58
it we're very proud of it you can use it most of the time without booking
59
but there are certain times of the day when we have swimming classes
60
and water aerobics there is always a lifeguard in attendance who will also offer informal swimming tips.
61
Okay, just over there you have the changing rooms and lockers and on the right are the bathrooms and showers.
62
We have our own shop here where you can buy our own brand of sportswear and sports drinks and supplements.
63
Right, I can see you're impressed and as I said we're very proud of our centre.
64
However, I should warn you that we are slightly more expensive than other gyms in the area,
65
but then we offer a much higher level of services and a very wide range of activities.
66
Here's a brochure with the timetables of the extra classes that we offer, such as boxing,
67
taekwondo and capoeira and quite a few others besides swimming activities swimming classes diving classes water aerobics
68
and water polo okay
69
so have a look at the brochure
70

71
about the best combination of activities for you this recording was brought to you by the british council

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.
