1
Conversation Two.
2
Professor Hart, do you have a minute? It's about my dissertation.
3
Of course, Mia. Come in and sit down.
4
I think I need to change my topic completely.
5
Completely? You're already two months into it.
6
What's gone wrong?
7
I wanted to study how phones affect teenagers' sleep.
8
But three schools have now refused to let me survey their students.
9
Without them, I only have about forty people.
10
That's not enough for any real conclusions.
11
I understand. But starting again now would be a big risk.
12
Have you thought about narrowing the question instead?
13
Forty people is too few for a survey,
14
but it's plenty for detailed interviews.
15
You could ask them to keep a sleep diary for two weeks,
16
and then talk to each of them about their habits.
17
So I'd go deeper instead of wider?
18
Exactly. And all the reading you've done is still useful.
19
That's a relief! I thought I'd wasted two months.
20
Send me a one-page plan by Friday, and we'll check it together.
21
Questions five to eight are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22
Question five. Why does the woman want to change her topic?
23
Question six. What does the professor think about starting again?
24
Question seven. What does the professor suggest she do?
25
Question eight. What must the woman do by Friday?
26
Thank you, Professor. I feel so much better.
27
Good research is often just a smaller question, asked well.

Woordenschat en spreektips bij deze les

Deze spreekles op niveau B2 is gebaseerd op de video “CET-6 Listening Long Conversation: Changing a Dissertation Topic”. Deze video bevat 27 zinnen en 240 woorden om na te spreken. Het gesproken deel duurt 1:39. De spreker praat in een gelijkmatig tempo van ongeveer 146 woorden per minuut, prettig om te shadowen. 86% van de woorden hoort bij de 3.000 meest gebruikte Engelse woorden; de rest kun je beter vooraf bekijken. 9 van de 27 zinnen zijn vragen, dus het is goede oefening voor vraagintonatie en korte antwoorden.

sit down werkwoordgaan zitten

Zinnen om te herhalen

Korte, volledige zinnen uit de video die je in alledaagse gesprekken kunt gebruiken:

  • You're already two months into it.
  • Have you thought about narrowing the question instead?
  • So I'd go deeper instead of wider?
  • I thought I'd wasted two months.

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 5 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'd, we'll, you're. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: conclusion /kənˈkluːʒən/, dissertation /ˌdɪsəˈteɪʃən/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: narrow /ˈnæɹəʊ/, habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als topic, conclusion, narrow.

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.
