Shadowing Practice: Complaining about a Holiday - Learn English Speaking with Video

Les maken...
1
Good morning, can I help you?
2
I'd like to make a complaint about my holiday in Hawaii last week.
3
I'm sorry to hear that.
4
What exactly was the problem?
5
First of all, the bus taking us to the hotel broke down.
6
We had to wait for over two hours in the sweltering heat before a replacement arrived.
7
Then, when we got to the hotel, we found our room hadn't been cleaned.
8
Oh dear.
9
Did you complain to the hotel staff?
10
Of course, but we were told all the chambermaids were off duty.
11
Anyway, that's not all.
12
The people in the room above sounded like they were having all -night parties, every night.
13
I demanded another room but the receptionist told me the hotel was full.
14
Oh, I see.
15
And to cap it all, the food in the hotel restaurant was awful.
16
It was so bad, we had to eat out all the time despite having paid for meals
17
and the price of our holiday.
18
I do apologize.
19
I'd like to offer you a 20 % discount on the
20
price of one of our autumn breaks as a gesture of goodwill.
21
A 20 % discount?
22
You must be joking.
23
I want to see the manager.

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.
