First, may I ask you, what size washer do you need?
549
What do you mean by what size washer?
550
Well, like a small size is 4 kilos, a large size is 8 kilos.
551
Do you have a medium size?
552
Sure.
553
Medium size is 6 kilos.
554
Okay.
555
I think I want a medium size.
556
Alright.
557
And do you want a one -bin or a two -bin washer?
558
What's the difference between one -bin and two -bin?
559
Well, with a two -bin washer,
560
you have to move the clothes to the spinner yourself. And the one bin?
561
Oh, it does it automatically.
562
It's a two -in -one spin bin.
563
Oh, I understand. Which one cleans better?
564
They clean the same.
565
Really?
566
And do the washers cost the same?
567
Well, the one -bin washer is more expensive, but it's simple to use.
568
Simple is important.
569
Well, I think I'd like the one -bin washer.
570
You know, if you like things simple and easy, may I suggest to you the fuzzy logic function?
571
What is the fuzzy logic?
572
Fuzzy logic is a special function.
573
It makes using the washer easier.
574
How does the function work?
575
Well, you put in your clothes, you put in the soap, and the washer does the rest.
576
Sounds perfect.
577
This is exactly the kind of washing machine I've been looking for.
578
Unit 17.

584
During the weekend, my house was robbed.
585
Your house was robbed?
586

605
Do you really think my clothes are old fashioned?
606
Yes, I do.
607
They're very old.
608
Oh, this is terrible.

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.
