1
Well, what do you think about the two candidates?
2
I think both candidates are very good and their academic background is excellent.
3
But I was more impressed by Evelyn because she was very confident and talkative.
4
Victoria was too shy, I guess.
5
What do you think?
6
That's right.
7
Victoria is obviously a quieter person.
8
She is quieter, yes, but she's obviously less confident, too.
9
Did you notice her weak handshake?
10
Evelyn's handshake was firm.
11
I don't think that detail is so important.
12
She also had poor eye contact contact.
13
She was extremely nervous.
14
Well...
15
Great CV, great qualifications, but total lack of confidence.
16
And she never smiled.
17
I think she is a person who doesn't work well in stressful situations.
18
Evelyn had an expressive face,
19
was smiling, and had very good eye contact.
20
Maybe she was just a bit intimidated by the whole setup.
21
That doesn't mean she can't handle stressful situations.
22
You want to reject her simply because she was a bit nervous?
23
How do we choose then,
24
given the fact that their qualifications are almost identical?
25
Come to think of it, Victoria is more experienced.
26
By five months, not much of a difference.
27
Well, the quietest people are the smartest people.
28
The ones who talk less have the most brain power.
29
As I said, what else have we got to base our decision on?
30
Let's better go grab lunch and give it some more thought.
31
Okay.
32
Hello.
33
What seems to be the problem with the washer, ma'am?
34
Well, my washer is draining super slowly until it just completely shuts off.
35
And then some kind of error pops out on the display.
36
I see.
37
It's very likely to be a clogged drain pump filter.
38
You can find the filter in the bottom right corner of the washer.
39
There's a little door here, see?
40
You must open it and take out the pump filter.
41
Here it is.
42
Oh, I didn't even know about this filter.
43
You must clean it every couple of months.
44
I see.
45
Okay, I've cleaned it.
46
Let's put it back.
47
Now the washer will start to drain quickly.
48
Let's just do a quick test.
49
I'll fill the washer up with water,
50
and then see how fast it drains it.
51
So we got the washer filled up.
52
Let's press start.
53
It's draining really nice and fast now.
54
Great!
55
Thank you so much for your help.
56
I'll make sure to keep the filter clean from now on.
57
Good afternoon, Community Clinic.
58
Sophia speaking.
59
How can I help you?
60
Hello, this is Paul Thomas.
61
I'm calling to make an appointment to see Dr. Martin.
62
It's about a checkup.
63
All right, what day would you like to come in?
64
Thursday or Friday would be okay,
65
and I'd prefer late afternoon if you have an opening.
66
Let me see.
67
Thursday's pretty full.
68
How does 5.30 on Friday suit you?
69
Yes, 5.30 works for me.
70
Alright, I'll put you down.
71
And the name was?
72
Paul Thomas.
73
And it was for a checkup, you said?
74
That's right.
75
Okay then, Paul.
76
We'll see you on Friday at 5.30.
77
Thanks a lot.
78
No problem.
79
Is there anything else I can help you with?
80
No thanks.
81
That'll be it.
82
Goodbye now.
83
Goodbye.
84
Hello, I'd like to rent a car for a few days.
85
Hello.
86
Do you have your driver's license with you?
87
Yes, I do.
88
We have all kinds of cars available,
89
from small size to SUVs.
90
If you want an economy car,
91
we have a nice hybrid.
92
Is it a four-door?
93
Yes, it is.
94
Take a look.
95
Well, it's a little small.
96
Do you have anything bigger and faster?
97
Well, we have a mid-sized car,
98
but the hybrid is more economical.
99
How about a van?
100
I have a large family.
101
Sure, we have a van.
102
It's very roomy.
103
It's the biggest and most expensive of the three.
104
Well, I'll take the van.
105
How much is it?
106
It's $37.25 a day.
107
How long will you be renting the car?
108
Five days.
109
How many people will be driving the car?
110
Just myself.
111
Would you like insurance?
112
How much is it?
113
It is $14.95 a day and it covers everything regardless of fault.
114
Yes, of course.
115
Can I have your name?
116
Martha Clark.
117
Can I see your driver's license and a credit card?
118
Here you go.
119
Thank you.
120
Great.
121
That will be $261.
122
Please sign here.
123
Your expected time to return the car is September 15th.
124
When you return the car,
125
bring this invoice with you.
126
Is there anything else I can do for you?
127
That will be all.
128
Thank you.
129
Thank you.
130
Goodbye.
131
What are you doing, Daniel?
132
You don't look very good.
133
Are you sick?
134
I have a nosebleed.
135
I have to wait until the bleeding stops.
136
It's dangerous to tilt your head back if you have a nosebleed, honey.
137
Blood can get into your throat if you sit in that position.
138
You may swallow it, and that can irritate your stomach.
139
But what should I do then, Mom?
140
You should lean your head forward and block your nostrils with your thumb and index finger.
141
How long should I hold it?
142
Keep holding it for about 10 minutes and let it go.
143
I see.
144
I didn't know that.
145
Do you know what caused the nosebleed?
146
I got hit in the nose by a ball just before coming in.
147
It was an accident.
148
Some kids were playing soccer.
149
I think it already stopped.
150
I'm okay now.
151
Good.
152
I'm so relieved.
153
Hello, how can I help you today?
154
I was in a hurry,
155
tripped and fell, and I think I broke my hand.
156
Can you move it?
157
No, it hurts if I try to move it.
158
I see.
159
It's actually swollen.
160
Do you have your insurance card with you?
161
Yes, I do.
162
Here it is.
163
Dr. Miller is on D&D Art today.
164
He'll have a look at your hand in a moment.
165
I'm Dr. Miller, and your name is?
166
My name is Rob Allen.
167
I hear you have a hurt hand.
168
Let's look at that.
169
We'll take some x-rays, but it definitely looks broken.
170
Will I need to have surgery?
171
No, you will need a cast.
172
How long does a cast take to put on?
173
It will take about 30 minutes.
174
Including the x-rays and putting on the cast,
175
we should have you out of here in about two hours.
176
Will it be uncomfortable wearing it?
177
Well, it can cause your underlying skin to feel itchy.
178
How long do I need to wear the cast?
179
For about a month.
180
But let's first get you to the x-ray room.
181
Mr. Baker, where were you on August 25th at approximately 9 in the morning?
182
I was in my car at the intersection of Main and Smith.
183
What were you doing at that time?
184
I was driving.
185
Where were you going?
186
I was going to work.
187
What happened next?
188
I was stopped at a red light and struck from behind by another car.
189
How long were you stopped before being struck from behind?
190
A few seconds.
191
What was the impact like?
192
It was pretty severe.
193
What do you mean by that?
194
The crash was loud, my head snapped back, and my neck hurt.
195
I felt really dizzy at the time.
196
Explain what you mean by your neck hurt.
197
I was stiff and I had sharp pains going into my shoulder area.
198
What happened next?
199
Soon an ambulance arrived at the scene.
200
The attendants approached me and asked me some questions.
201
They put me in a neck brace and placed me on a stretcher and then into the ambulance.
202
What happened once you arrived at the emergency room?
203
A nurse came in and cleaned the wound,
204
put the bandages on, and called the doctor.
205
What happened then?
206
The doctor came in and looked at me.
207
He admitted me to the hospital and sent me to x-ray.
208
I found out that the impact caused me to suffer an injury requiring surgery.
209
History.

- /w/ — met ronde lippen: washer /ˈwɒʃə(ɹ)/, qualification /ˌkwɑlɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/, swell /swɛl/, swallow /ˈswɑ.loʊ/
Zo oefen je met deze video

- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als washer, drain, nosebleed.
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.
