59
Um, is there any sort of fee I have to pay for rescheduling?
60
Uh, nope, because you canceled before the 24 -hour period before the appointment was supposed to happen, you're all set.
61

62
All right, have a good day now.
63
Thanks, you too.
64
Thanks, bye -bye.
65
Bye.
66
Thank you.
67
Okay, let's pause here and go through a few words from the dialogue that might be new for you.
68
An appointment is an arrangement or a plan to meet someone at a certain time.
69
Pay attention to the prepositions we use with appointment.
70
You make an appointment with someone for something Date of birth.
71
This is just your birthday.
72
Oftentimes in forms, you will see it written as D -O -B.
73
I said my birthday a few different ways here.
74
First, I said the 25th of March, 1993.
75
And later, I say 3 /25 /93.
76
Don't forget, in the US, we oftentimes have the month, First, then the day, then the year.
77
Insurance provider.
78
An insurance provider is a company that you have a contract with
79
who you pay monthly to help take care or pay for any medical issues you might have,
80
such as an accident or a doctor's appointment.
81
There are many different insurance providers or insurance companies out there.
82
There are a lot of different kinds of insurance as well.
83
You could have car insurance, health insurance, or homeowners insurance.
84
Confirmation.
85
This is just a statement, either written or verbal, showing that an appointment or an arrangement will occur.
86
For example, when you order something online,
87
you usually get a confirmation email to show that the item has been purchased.
88
A confirmation can also be to prove that something is true.
89
For example, in the second phone conversation, I had to confirm my birth date so that the person on the other end of the phone
90
Knew it was really me talking. On file.
91
A file is a folder.
92
with documents with information inside about something or someone.
93
At my doctor's office, there is a file with my name and my information on it, so that when I make an appointment or go see the doctor,
94
they already know my health history and contact information.
95
They keep all of this information.
96
on file Scheduled for.
97
If something is scheduled, it's planned for a particular time.
98
It's a plan that you can write in your schedule or your daily planner.
99
I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for Friday.
100
reschedule for This just means to move a scheduled appointment to a different time.
101
I rescheduled my doctor's appointment for next Friday.
102
Something has come up.
103
If something has come up, that just means that something happened that stopped you or prevented you from doing something.
104
For example: I wanted to meet you for dinner tonight, but something came up and I have to work late.
105
fee A fee is an amount of money that you pay for a service.
106
In this case, I asked if I needed to pay a rescheduling fee.
107
That would be a payment for the service of canceling my appointment and finding another appointment for me in the future.
108
Oftentimes, if you have to cancel an appointment within 24 hours of when your appointment should be, you'll have to pay a rescheduling fee.
109
Okay, so let's watch that dialogue one more time, but this time without subtitles.
110
Listen closely.
111

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.
