Hello and welcome.
9
We're spending the first part of today's programme talking about Tanya Perry.
10
And with me today is Ray Potter, her friend and colleague for many years.
11
Yes, well, I've known Tanya for nearly 20 years.
12
Not many people know that she was born in London in 1948.
13
In 1952, her parents moved with Tanya and her brother to the North West.
14
They lived in various places before finally coming to Manchester in 1956.
15
Tania spent a very happy period at school.
16
In fact, she was in the same class as Jack Peters, the famous poet.
17
David Thompson, the artist, was also at the school, a couple of years below her, I think.
18
So it was an interesting time for Tania, who actually began to write short stories while she was at school.
19
One of her stories appeared in the school magazine.
20
I have a copy here.
21
It's extraordinary.
22
You can see a lot of her ideas starting to grow.
23
When Tanya left school, she didn't go to university, as Jack Peters did, but got a job immediately.
24
She was never interested in university life life, what she wanted was to be part of the real world,
25
to meet different people and get more experience of life.
26
So in the early 1970s, she became a waitress, working in what was then one of the most popular cafes in Manchester.
27
She was writing at night, and in 1975, she had her first play performed at the Edinburgh Festival accessible.
28
She gave up her day job the following year to be able to write full -time.
29
Several of her plays were performed, including one at the Court Theatre in London.
30
This was where she met film director
31
Robin Newgate, who she later married.
32
Robin introduced her to the film world, and in 1979 she wrote the story which later became the film
33
City Life, which which Robin directed.
34
It won the prize for best foreign film at an important French film festival in 1984.
35
Tania could have moved to Hollywood then, but she was still married to the theatre, and to Robin, so she decided to stay here.
36
Now she has twenty -four plays in print, eighteen in translation, which makes her work very widely known all over the world.
37
Now, listen again.

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.
