Yes, that's perfect.
14
Let me try it.
15
You look beautiful in it, Christine.
16
I really like the shape, but the size is wrong.
17
It's a bit too big around my waist.
18
Wait a minute.
19
Let me ask if they have a smaller size for you.
20
Hi, excuse me.
21
Can I ask if you have a smaller size for this style of dress?
22
I'm very sorry, miss.
23
We actually sold out of every other size for that dress.
24
In fact, the one you have on is the only one of that color left in our store.
25
That's sad.
26
We do offer to tailor if you guys are interested.
27
Yes, I would love it if you could cinch the waist in about an inch.
28
That's totally doable, miss.
29
Would you like to check out right away?
30
Yes, that would be great, thank you.
31
We actually are having a promotion for dresses.
32
You can get a free hat with every dress you purchase.
33
Would you like to choose one that you like?
34
That is so nice.
35
Can I have one in a similar color with the dress? Of course, miss.
36
And may I ask if you are paying by cash or by card?
37
Card, please.
38
Thank you.

The cosmetic store?
43
Yes.
44
Ooh, I always spend too much time in there.
45
It's fine.
46
Let's go.
47
Ooh, have you seen this perfume bottle before?
48
It is limited edition packaging.
49
I love the design.
50
I've seen it online, but not in store.
51
It is very beautiful.
52
What does it smell like?
53
Take a sniff.
54
It is warm vanilla with notes of cinnamon.
55
Haha, it will make you smell like a bakery.
56
I would love to smell like a bakery.
57
Well, are you going to get it?
58
I don't know.
59
Let me see if it is on sale or not.
60
The regular packaging is 30% off.
61
Yes, but I really love the new packaging, though.
62
Then get it.
63
It's not that expensive, right?
64
Yes, but I already have so many perfumes in my collection.
65
Should I get another one?
66
Come on, treat yourself.
67
You deserve it.
68
Alright, I will listen to you.
69
Let me pay for it, then we can go to the grocery store, okay?
70
Okay.
71
Dialogue 3.
72
What are we having for dinner?
73
What do you want for dinner tonight, Christine?
74
Mmm, what about curry rice?
75
I already have rice at my place. That sounds good.
76
What other ingredients do we need?
77
We will need some vegetables.
78
Alright, let's go get them.
79
Where is the veggie aisle?
80
It is next to the refrigerators, I believe.
81
Right!
82
Ooh, these veggies are really fresh.
83
Really?
84
How can you tell?
85
Well, you can judge how fresh they are based on their appearance, smell, and touch.
86
Nice!
87
I rarely ever cook, so I don't know about this.
88
That's alright.
89
Lucky for you, I am a great cook.
90
That you are.
91
Love you, bestie!
92
Sure, love you too.

107
I am an artist after all.
108
Don't you think that makes sense?
109
Okay.
110
Let's go to the craft store to get some stuff.
111
I don't really have any art supplies at my place.

Should we get a canvas or just regular paper?
113

114
I'm feeling extra today.
115
Okay, and what type of paint do you like to use?
116
Acrylic paint.
117
I am most used to its texture.
118
Cool.
119
You know you are doing most of the painting, right?
120
I can cook, but I can barely draw.
121
That's okay.
122
Leave it up to me.
123
Or I can draw your portrait and you can be my model. In your dreams, Lauren.
124
I'm just kidding.
125
I hate drawing portraits.

Yes, and I can't sit still for too long.

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.
