1
Hello, Greenwell Garden Centres.
2
Oh, hello.
3
I'm calling about the part -time job you were advertising last week.
4
Oh, you mean for the delivery driver?
5
No, for a general assistant.
6
My son's looking for a part -time job and I said I'd call you about it.
7
I already picked up an application form from one of your staff.
8
I see.
9
Well, we'll shortly have a position available in our new
10
Market Road branch.
11
That's opening next month.
12
Or there's one available right now in our branch in Station Road.
13
And that's where the actual job advert was for.
14
I see.
15
It's definitely the current job I'm calling about.
16
Right.
17
Now, there were a couple of options regarding working hours.
18
We're really looking for someone that could do both Monday and Wednesday afternoons, or the same hours on Thursday and Friday.
19
What about Sunday?
20
That'd work, provided he could do a full day.
21
That wouldn't be a problem.
22
Um, great.
23
And what would the job involve exactly?
24
Let me just look at the job description for that particular job.
25
Well, looks like there'd be some working on the checkout, you know, taking payment for goods,
26
and I suppose our general assistants also do rather a lot of lifting of some quite heavy items.
27
So good physical strength is quite important for this position.
28
There's some assisting with customer inquiries as well.
29
But we don't expect new staff to have much knowledge about the plants themselves.
30
That's what the more experienced staff are there for.
31
Then, especially in the summer, the plants need a lot of watering.
32
I see.
33
Well, I think he could manage all that.
34
Good.
35
Now, there are a few other qualifications and skills that the job calls for.
36
The first one being, um, communication skills are important.
37
As you know, first impressions count for a lot.
38
And, um, the other thing we would be looking for in our applicants for this position is, um, he should have some ability in maths.
39
A basic level, at least.
40
Well, he did well in that subject at school, and he's polite and sociable too, so hopefully he'll match your expectations.
41
Great.
42
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
43
So, am I right in thinking he's still at high school?
44
He's about to finish for the summer break, so he could come for an interview this week if that's convenient.
45
How about Wednesday, say about 10am?
46
I'm afraid that's the morning of his last exam.
47
Could we make it later instead, perhaps at 2 .30?
48
Five would be better for us.
49
Okay, that's fine.
50
So his name is?
51
It's Liam Avery.
52
Okay, got that.
53
So Liam will be having the interview with me.
54
My name's Maria Rapana.
55
R -A -P for Peter, A -N -A.
56
On Tuesday, Liam needs to ring me on my direct line to confirm that he's coming,
57
and that's 021 303 8874.
58
OK.
59
Oh, just one more thing.
60
I need to see Liam's passport at the interview just to see that he's eligible to work in this country.
61
Sure, I'll tell him.
62
Thanks for your time.
63
Thanks for calling.
64
Thank you.
65
Thank you.
66
Thank you.
67
Thank you.

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, passport /ˈpæspɔɹt/, applicant /ˈæp.lə.kɪnt/, advert /ædvˈɝt/

  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als skill, assist, confirm.

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.
