Chapter 7 Friday, an evening out.
2
In the afternoon, I'm back in my office, writing emails, checking messages, doing the paperwork.
3
The phone rings.
4
My Sally Hawker mobile.
5
Hey, Shirley, Geoff here.
6
Can I come and see you?
7
Sure.
8
He arrives ten minutes later.
9
Big happy smile.
10
His eyes don't look worried now.
11
Got some news, he says happily.
12
I wanted you to be the first to know.
13
Oh, that's nice, I say.
14
Is it exciting news?
15
He laughs.
16
It is for Clayton Electrics.
17
We've got the Blanding's house contract, I heard this afternoon.
18
Wow!
19
That's great news!
20
Well done, I say.
21
So, Spark and Flash didn't do a quotation, or they just didn't get it?
22
What happened?
23
I don't know, says Jeff, but I did two quotations.
24
I put one on the office computer on Wednesday, you know, when you told me to,
25
but I did a second quotation with much better prices.
26
I didn't put that on any office computer or send it by email.
27
I put it on paper and sent it by motorbike messenger.
28
Nobody in the office ever saw that quotation.
29
I laugh.
30
Very clever!
31
I didn't think of that.
32
And did ICBC like those prices then?
33
He looks at me.
34
You opened the file in the night and read the quotation, didn't you?
35
You knew it was ICBC.
36
Of course, I read it, I say.
37
I needed to know.
38
Huh, Jeff says.
39
Well, Shirley Holmes, Sally Hawker, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?
40
A big thank you dinner.
41
Bread and olives at the Athena restaurant, I say.
42
He smiles.
43
He has a really nice smile.
44
There's a little French restaurant near Richmond Bridge, right by the river.
45
Very good food.
46
They don't do bread and olives.
47
We're meeting at seven o'clock.
48
At home, I'm getting ready when I suddenly remember.
49
It's Friday night.
50
Saeed's chicken dinner.
51
I phone Layla, but Saeed answers the phone.
52
He's home early because he's doing the cooking.
53
This is going to be difficult.
54
I say, I'm really sorry, but I can't come tonight.
55
I'm meeting a client.
56
On Friday evening, Said says, that was last Friday, Leila told me.
57
The client wants me to have dinner with him, to say thank you, I said.
58
You never do that usually, Shirley.
59
You never have dinner with clients.
60
Clients are work, you say, not friends to have dinner with.
61
But this client has very beautiful brown eyes, Saheed.
62
I just want to look into his eyes one more time.
63
I enjoy teasing Saheed.
64
Suddenly, he understands.
65
Ah, okay, this client has nice brown eyes, but can he cook a chicken dinner?
66
Of course not, I say.
67
Your chicken dinners are the best in London, Saeed, and I want some.
68
Can you keep some for me?
69
Can I come round on Saturday?
70
Eight o'clock, he says, and don't be late.
71
Thank you.
72
Thank you.

Over deze les
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.
