1
Here's your coffee, John.
2
Thanks, Pauline.
3
Now, shall we start thinking about this talk then?
4
Let's see, it's on the 20th, isn't it?
5
Yes, that's right.
6
That gives us three weeks to plan it.
7
Shall we start by thinking about what exactly we want to include?
8
Yes, that's a good idea.
9
Now, here's some paper to make some notes.
10
Right.
11
Now, the talk is about pollution in the inner city.
12
We should include some information to show how polluted they are, shouldn't we?
13
Yes, it would be interesting to have some figures to show, for example, how much car exhaust fumes pollute the air.
14
We could possibly get them from the Department of the Environment, couldn't we?
15
Yes.
16
Then at least people would be aware just how serious this problem is.
17
And then we could go on to point out where all this carbon monoxide comes from.
18
Hmm.
19
You mean, for instance, cars and lorries?
20
Do we have any statistics about how much the number of cars in the inner city has grown?
21
Yes, yes, that's no problem.
22
I think car owners should see just how much it has increased.
23
People like to use their own cars all the time, don't they?
24
Yes, it's quite incredible, really, especially as the bus service here where we live is not bad.
25
I mean, in other cities the public transport system is terrible, but at least the City Council has given grants to improve it here.
26
Hmm, but I still wish people would use it more.
27
Should we mention ways of cutting down on the number of private cars by introducing,
28
for example, a park and ride scheme so shoppers can leave their cars outside the city centre and travel in by bus?
29
Yes, we could save that until the end of the talk as a possible solution.
30
And how about the problem of the lack of parks and green areas?
31
There aren't many here, are there?
32
No, that's a definite point to mention.
33
OK, let's see.
34
Cars, parks.
35
How about cycle lanes?
36
They've been very successful in other places in reducing the number of cars in the inner city.
37
That may be asking for too much.
38
We've been asked to write a leaflet about the subject too, so maybe we could include it in that instead.
39
Yes, I suppose we can't ask for everything at once.
40
But I really think we ought to say something about the lorries which are allowed to drive through the city centre.
41
You mean to suggest an idea to reduce their numbers?
42
That's not enough.
43
We need the council to introduce a law to ban them altogether.
44
I know the shopkeepers won't like it, but...
45
Yes, it'll be difficult, but it's necessary to make people aware of how much they pollute the air.
46
So let's make a note of that, too.
47
Banning lorries in the city centre.
48
Yes.
49
And shoppers will feel safer with no lorries there.
50
It's definitely time we had more pedestrian precincts, too.
51
Should we include that?
52
I'm not sure.
53
I'd rather keep this talk simple.
54
The council won't like it if we make too many demands, will they?
55
No, they won't.
56
OK, well then.
57
Let's see.
58
So far, we've got these ideas.
59
Look at the number of...
60
Now you'll hear part three again.
61
Here's your coffee, John.
62
Thanks, Pauline.
63
Now, shall we start thinking about this talk then?
64

118
That's the end of Part 3.
119
Part 4.
120
You're going to listen to the final recording.
121
Again, before you listen, you'll have 20 seconds to read the instruction carefully.
122
And you'll listen to the piece twice.

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.
