1
Hang on a second.
2
Okay, you have my undivided attention.
3
Right, have you found someone to interview for the plastics feature yet?
4
That's what I wanted to talk about.
5
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
6
I just wanted to clarify what I actually meant by living without plastic in my pitch.
7
Go on.
8
Well, my plan wasn't to interview someone else.
9
I wanted to do an experiment myself, try to live without plastics for a month.
10
The main hook for the readers is imagining a life without plastic.
11
Huh.
12
Okay.
13
I obviously got the wrong end of the stick there.
14
The thing is, I'll need a bit of money for expenses.
15
You know, so I can shop for everyday products that don't contain plastic.
16
Money's tight right now.
17
You can't find anything in the budget?
18
What I'm saying is doing the experiment yourself isn't an option.
19
That's to say there's no time, no resources.
20
Why not find someone to interview instead?
21
Someone who's already doing it.
22
Although bear in mind, we can't pay a fee for interviews either.
23
Okay.
24
I'll take a look.
25
See who I can find.
26
I know it's not initially what you had in mind, but...
27
I'm sure you can still do a great job.
28
What have you got so far?
29
Well, I've done a lot of research.
30
Really interesting stuff on the linear plastics economy and green chemistry.
31
Susan, pretend I don't know anything about this because I don't.
32
Yes, of course.
33
So, in layman's terms, linear plastics economy is single -use plastic designed for the dump.
34
Stuff like plastic shopping bags, shampoo bottles and coffee cups.
35
We chuck out 95 % of all plastic containers and packaging.
36
95 %?
37
Wow.
38
and green chemistry that's about designing products and processes
39
that cut out on all the hazardous stuff
40
or at least cut down on it anyway all
41
this is just background for the story right gotcha listen i know you're new here
42
so if you don't mind i'll just go over our approach style wise we put out informative
43
and entertaining stuff in other words
44
There's no investigative journalism, no exposing wrongdoing, nothing like that.
45
Leave that to Newsweek.
46
The point I'm trying to make is keep it light, but with a bit of gravitas.
47
Friendly, but with no dumbing down.
48
Okay, I actually thought we could have small fact boxes like that 95 % figure.
49
I mean, without going overboard with all the technical stuff and a few quotations from a scientist, maybe?
50
Great.
51
Just to keep it accessible and engaging.
52
Oh, and get a good photo of the expert if you can.
53
What about the other images?
54
Well, I like this photo of seabirds on the piles of waste.
55
Really evocative.
56
Yes, but remember we're not National Geographic.
57
Try and stay more on topic.
58
Right, right.
59
I'm sure I can find some good stock photos.
60
Perfect.
61
Also, I was thinking, maybe our readers might want to contribute their own ideas and tips for life without plastic.
62
Like it?
63
We can get good engagement with that.
64
Right, well, we seem to be on the same page now.
65
Let's chat deadlines.
66
Thank you.

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 18 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals don't, I'm, I'll. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: shampoo /ʃæmˈpuː/, quotation /kwoʊˈteɪʃn̩/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: experiment /ɪkˈspɛɹ.ə.mənt/, accessible /əkˈsɛs.ɪ.bəl/, investigative /ɪnˈvɛstɪɡətɪv/, informative /ɪnˈfɔːmətɪv/, evocative /ɪˈvɒk.ə.tɪv/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: package /ˈpæk.ɪd͡ʒ/, engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, pretend /pɹəˈtɛnd/, expose /ɪkˈspoʊz/, investigative /ɪnˈvɛstɪɡətɪv/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: package /ˈpæk.ɪd͡ʒ/, clarify /ˈklæɹ.ɪ.faɪ/, hazardous /ˈhæ.zɚ.dɪs/, shampoo /ʃæmˈpuː/, gravitas /ˈɡɹævɪtɑs/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, engagement /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ.mənt/, investigative /ɪnˈvɛstɪɡətɪv/, gotcha /ˈɡɑ.tʃə/, gravitas /ˈɡɹævɪtɑs/
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 experiment, chemistry, reader.
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.
