Section 1.
2
You will hear a conversation between a housing agent and a college student who wants to rent a house.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
4
You will see that there is an example which has been done for you.
5
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
6
Good afternoon and welcome to Habitat Hunters.
7
You must be Joseph.
8
Yes, that's right.
9
You said on the phone that I could come by at 2 o 'clock.
10
Sorry, I'm a little early.
11
No problem at all.
12
In Calgary's market, you have to move fast if you want a good apartment.
13
Actually, I'd settle for almost anything.
14
I've been here ten days and the hotel is ruining me.
15
My father has me on a strict budget.
16
Sit right down here now, sir.
17
Let's talk a little about the places before we go have a look.
18
Now, we have four apartments available.
19
OK.
20
Could you tell me more about those four apartments?
21
Sure.
22
The first one is on Beetle Road, just a block off campus.
23
It's a three -bedroom with a bathroom and a living room and a great Italian restaurant right next to it.
24
The agent says that the first apartment is a three -bedroom apartment with a great Italian restaurant right next to it.
25
So, restaurant has been written in the space.
26
Now we shall begin.
27
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
28
Listen carefully and answer questions one to four.
29
Good afternoon and welcome to Habitat Hunters.
30
You must be Joseph.
31
Yes, that's right.
32
You said on the phone that I could come by at 2 o 'clock.
33
Sorry, I'm a little early.
34
No problem at all.
35
In Calgary's market you have to move fast if you want a good apartment.
36
Actually, I'd settle for almost anything.
37
I've been here 10 days and the hotel is ruining me.
38
My father has me on a strict budget.
39
Sit right down here now, sir.
40
Let's talk a little about the places before we go have a look.
41
Now, we have four apartments available.
42
OK.
43
Could you tell me more about those four apartments?
44
Sure.
45
The first one is on Beetle Road, just a block off campus.
46
It's a three -bedroom with a bathroom and a living room and a great Italian restaurant right next to it.
47
How much?
48
Well, it's $435 a month, including internet and utilities.
49
OK, that sounds reasonable.
50
Any drawbacks to the house?
51
There's a really big garden, but it hasn't been taken care of over the years and it's just too big to clean up nicely.
52
Hmm, that sounds OK.
53
Tell me about the next option.
54
The other three -bedroom apartment is on Oakington Avenue on campus.
55
It is right near the building where you have classes and the kitchen and living room are newly furnished.
56
Wow, that sounds like a pretty good option.
57
Well, it is a cool apartment, but since it's a dormitory, the living room, bathroom, kitchen and washing machine are all shared.
58
It would be nice not to have to buy living room furniture, though.
59
And how much is this one?
60
$400 per month for a bedroom with an air conditioner.
61
For a bedroom without an air conditioner, you would pay less, $340 for it.
62
Yikes!
63
Even with the air conditioner, it sounds really inconvenient to have to share facilities.
64
I'll never cook if I have to walk down the hall to use the kitchen Yeah,
65
that's true Before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10
66
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
67
Anyway, the next place is a two -bedroom on Mead Street.
68
Oh, I like Mead Street.
69
That's off campus, right?
70
Yep, it's pretty cool, but it only has two bedrooms plus a living room and a study.
71
But I want to live together with my two friends.
72
So, you could make the study into a small bedroom if you end up living with them.
73
Also, we guys want a TV and DVD player since we're all so much into movies.
74
Well, this place has a great TV and VCR, but no DVD player.
75
No DVD?
76
That's so weird.
77
Are any other facilities provided?
78
As you said, weird enough, it also comes with a wash basin.
79
Is there a washing machine?
80
I think we need that more than just a wash basin.
81
I'm afraid there's no washing machine in the apartment.
82
Wow, that's so old -fashioned.
83
Maybe it's not the best choice for three college guys.
84
How much is it?
85
Well, it's $600 per month, but of course it would be cheaper if you made it into three bedrooms instead of two.
86
And where is the apartment located?
87
It's 2500 Mead Street, where there are a lot of bars.
88
It would be affordable, but it would get pretty noisy, and that sounds really expensive for an old place in a noisy area.
89
How about the last place?
90
This one's on campus in the Devon Close complex.
91
It's a one -bedroom, so it will be a little quieter than the Mead Street place.
92
One -bedroom, huh?
93
That could be good for focusing on my studies.
94
What else does it have?
95
It comes with a living room and a study, and includes a really nice lamp in the study that has a bunch of different settings.
96
You know what else is cool?
97
There's a dining hall downstairs, so all evening meals are free.
98
You can purchase breakfast and lunch, but meals after 6pm are free.
99
Wow, this place sounds too good to be true.
100
Is it really expensive?
101
It's all right.
102
$500 per month, but there's no bathroom.
103
What?
104
No bathroom?
105
Well, there's no bathroom in the apartment, but there's one at the end of the hall.
106
Hmm, thanks.
107
I think now I just have to decide whether I want to live alone or not.
108
Yeah, which one do you prefer?
109
I think I'd choose either this apartment or the one on Beetle Road.
110
OK, you'd better think about it and then you can contact me ASAP fine thanks for your help you're welcome
111
that is the end of section one you now have half a minute to check your answers
112
Now turn to Section 2.

Waarom oefenen met deze video om te spreken?
Deze video is perfect om je engelse spreekvaardigheid te oefenen, want het bevat een echte conversatie tussen een huisagent en een student. Zo leer je niet alleen taal, maar ook hoe je in praktische situaties (zoals huiszoeken) communiceert. Door te luisteren en na te sprekken, leer je snel te reageren en natuurlijke uitdrukkingen te gebruiken. Ideaal voor wie wil leren om in het dagelijks leven te praten! Bovendien is het een geweldige manier om met video's te leren engels, want je hoort de intonatie en tempo van echte sprekers.
Grammatica & uitdrukkingen in context
Let's op deze handige structuren in de dialoog:
- "I'd settle for almost anything": Dit betekent "Ik zou bijna alles accepteren". Het gebruik van "I'd" (I would) in combinatie met "settle for" is handig om je flexibiliteit te uiten. Praat dit na om de klinker "e" in "settle" goed te leren uitspreken.
- "including internet and utilities": "Inclusief internet en nutsvoorzieningen". Deze constructie is handig bij het bespreken van prijzen. Let op de woordvolgorde: "including" komt na de prijs om extra diensten te benoemen.
- "Any drawbacks to the house?": "Eventuele nadelen van het huis?". Deze vraag is direct en gebruiksvriendelijk in gesprekken. Door deze te oefenen, leer je om kritische vragen te stellen zonder onbeleefd te klinken.
Veelvoorkomende uitspraakvalkuilen
Somige woorden in de video kunnen lastig zijn. Let op:
- "Utilities": Wordt uitgesproken als /juːˈtɪlətiz/, met de klemtoon op de tweede syllabe. Veel leerlingen vergeten de "t" tussen de "i" en "l", maar die is belangrijk!
- "Drawbacks": Uitgesproken als /ˈdrɔːbæks/. Let op de "aw" klank (zoals in "raw") en de "cks" op het einde. Niet verwarren met "drawers" (laden)!
- "Budget": Hoewel het woord veel gebruikt wordt, wordt de "u" vaak verkeerd uitgesproken. Het moet /ˈbʌdʒɪt/ zijn, niet /ˈbuːdʒɪt/. Oefen dit met de shadowing techniek: luister naar de video en spreek direct na, zo leer je het juiste tempo en intonatie.
Met de schaduwspreekt techniek kun je deze valkuilen overwinnen. Herhaal de zinnen na de sprekers, focus op hun tempo en intonatie, en je zult zien dat je engels spreekvaardigheid snel verbeterd. Probeer het vandaag nog: start met de eerste 30 seconden van de video en herhaal ze tot je ze vloeiend kunt zeggen!
Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt | has been done · I've been · has been written |
| Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet | has been done · will be played · has been written |
| Betrekkelijke bijzinnen who / which + zin — extra informatie over een persoon of ding | student who wants · example which has |
| Toekomst met “will” will + werkwoord — een besluit, belofte of voorspelling | will hear · will see · will be |
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.
