62
I need to start doing some training again.
63
Well, why don't you come for a run with me this evening after college?
64
I usually set off from home around six o 'clock.
65
We could go along a path through the woods near college, or we could go into the countryside, which is what I do.
66
There's a path by the river.
67
It's more peaceful than running through the streets, and there are some beautiful views.

It didn't end well.
84
I came last and injured my ankle.
85
Oh, that doesn't sound good.
86
Well, no, it wasn't.
87
I used to be one of the fastest skiers I knew when I was that age.
88
My family lived in Switzerland for a few years, so I just expected to be good at other winter sports too, like snowboarding and ice hockey.

But I failed to get into the school team for that.

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.
