Hello, Bakewell Travel.
14
How can I help?
15
Oh, hello.
16
My name's Sarah Carter.
17
I wonder if you could tell me about the price of plane tickets to Dubai.
18
The customer wants to travel to Dubai.
19
So, Dubai has been written in the space.

My name's Sarah Carter.
27
I wonder if you could tell me about the price of plane tickets to Dubai.

Our computers are down, so what I can do is take some details about you and your travel plans.
29
then when everything's okay again I can call you back, alright?
30
Okay then.
31
Right.
32
So, some details first.
33
Your name was Sarah Carter, wasn't it?
34
That's right.
35
And can I take a contact phone number?
36
07 958 847 222.
37
Now, I'll probably need to get back to you on this.
38
Shall I call you back tomorrow morning?
39
Oh, I work on Wednesdays.
40
Can you call me back on Thursday before 12?
41
Fine.
42
OK, so, Mrs Carter, how many tickets will you need?
43
Three adults and four children.
44
So, seven altogether.
45
Are all the children under the age of 14?
46
They are, yes.
47
Which date do you wish to travel on?
48
Well, we definitely need to be there for the 24th.
49
So, if we leave the UK on the 22nd, we'll have time to recover on the 23rd.
50
So, the 22nd of October?
51
Not this month.
52
Next month.
53
November.
54
Right.
55
And I assume these are return tickets?
56
Yes, we want to fly back on the Tuesday.
57
Is that the 25th or the 26th?
58
It's the 25th, so it's going to be a short holiday.
59
We're going to a wedding.
60
We're not going for a holiday.
61
Oh, that's nice.
62
Now, do any travellers have any special requirements?
63
You know, special assistance with mobility and that sort of thing.
64
Oh, well, actually, yes.
65
My son's to cheese.
66
It makes him really, really ill.
67
Fine.
68
So, as soon as I can, I'll look into finding some tickets for you.
69
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10 on page 2.
70
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
71
Now, I wonder if I could just ask you a couple of questions as part of our market research.
72
Would you be happy to do that?
73
Will this take long?
74
Just a couple of minutes, that's all.
75
OK.
76
So, how many foreign visits have you made in the last 12 months?
77
About six, I suppose.
78
And where was your last foreign trip?
79
Well, I was in Egypt in May, then most recently India.
80
Oh, nice.
81
Yes, I'm off for some IT training in Bangalore next month, actually.
82
And was that a vacation?
83
I'd love to go back there for a holiday, but it was for business this time.
84
And I presume you use the internet?
85
I do, yes.
86
And so you've seen our website?
87
Yes, I had a look this morning, actually.
88
Well, we had it redesigned a month ago and we're keen to get feedback on how our customers find it, so...
89
Oh right, er, OK, well, I have to say I found it terribly slow, so I just gave up and thought I'd give you a call.
90
Oh, well, I'm sorry to hear that, but yes, it does happen sometimes.
91
Would it be OK for us to email you with any promotional offers?
92
I suppose so.
93
Well, OK.
94
My address is carter.s at speedtech.com.
95
Is that S-P-E-E-D-T-E-C-H?
96
Yes.
97
That's great.
98
And can I ask how you found out about Bakewell Travel?
99

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.
