Hello.
2
Hi Liz, it's Ken here.
3
Hi Ken, nice to hear from you. Are you...
4
This is just a quick call, but Mary and I have just been talking about our summer holiday.
5
We haven't booked a place yet and we've left it a bit late.
6
We were just wondering if you know of any holiday rentals in your area.
7
It's so nice there.
8
Well, yes.
9
I can think of two or three places that are very nice.
10
What dates have you got in mind?
11
10th of July to the 22nd of July.
12
Oh yes, that is quite soon, isn't it?
13
Well, there's a place near here called Moonfleet.
14
Is that M-double-O-N-F-L-double-E-T?
15
That's right.
16
It's quite a rural location, and it's next to the owner's house, but it's got fields all around it, so it's very pretty.
17
Hmm, sounds OK.
18
Can you tell me a bit more about it?
19
Well, it's an annex to the owner's house, and it's an apartment with two bedrooms and an open-plan living area.
20
Well, I like the sound of it.
21
Is there anything we might not like about it?
22
Well, it's quite a distance from the nearest shops, that's all.
23
OK.
24
And.. well, I'll tell Mary, but I don't think she'd mind that.
25
Do you know how you book it?
26
You have to book on the internet.
27
There's a web address.
28
It's www.summerhouses.
29
One word?
30
Yes, then .com.
31
You'll be able to look at a photograph on that.
32
OK.
33
And what about the others?
34
Where are they?
35
The second one I'm thinking of is called Kingfisher, and that's even more rural.
36
It's a really beautiful location, in fact.
37
It's by the river, and it's got nice views.
38
It overlooks woodland on the other side.
39
Is that an apartment?
40
No, it's a three-bedroomed house, and that's got a dining room, as well as a separate living room and a kitchen.
41
But I expect it's more expensive.
42
You'll have to check the prices.
43
Hmm.
44
It's probably a bit bigger than we need, but our nephew might be joining us.
45
We're not sure yet.
46
How do you book Kingfisher?
47
You have to phone the owner directly.
48
Shall I give you the number?
49
I've got it here in my phone book.
50
It's 01752 669 218.
51
Right.
52
And you mentioned a third place?
53
Yes, there's a house that my sister stayed in last year.
54
It's called Sunnybanks.
55
Nice name.
56
And the location of that one is rather different.
57
It's in the centre of a village, but it's a very small and quaint place.
58
Did your sister like it?
59
Oh yes.
60
It's by the sea, so her children really loved it.
61
What's the accommodation like?
62
I'm not sure about the number of rooms, because I haven't been in it myself, but I think she said it's quite spacious, and I know it's got its own garden.
63
It's not very big, but But it's not shared with anyone else, and it's supposed to be very pretty.
64
Any snags?
65
Problems?
66
The only other thing I can think of is that there's nowhere for parking.
67
The streets are too narrow, so you have to leave your car somewhere else, and then walk to the house.
68
It's only about ten minutes away, but...
69
OK.
70
Well, I don't think it matters personally.
71
How do you book it?
72
There's an agent you have to contact.
73
I don't know his details, but I can ask my sister and let you know tomorrow.
74
Thanks, Liz.
75
That'd be great.
76
I'll talk to Mary and see what she says.
77
Thanks for your help.
78
That's okay, Ken.
79
I'll speak to you again tomorrow.
80
I hope you find what you look at.

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.
