Their vote is only one out of many, many votes.
11
But sometimes, the winner of an election is decided by just a few votes.

18 years or older, were allowed to vote.

If you want to vote, you need to register. Where?

There you go again, spending our money.
44
Before an election, everyone tries to guess who will win.
45
Pollsters ask some of the voters whom they're planning to vote for.

And most of all, ads and more ads.
56
Where will they find the money?
57
What do the letters say?
58
Please vote for Chris Smith and please donate money.
59
You might want to donate a few dollars to your favorite candidate's campaign.
60
Or maybe you'll be invited to a fundraising dinner.
61
Would you like to pay $250 for a fancy hamburger and a chance to meet the candidate?
62
Thank you if you donate lots of money maybe the candidate will listen to you more than to other voters

Over deze les

In deze les ga je oefenen met het begrijpen en reproduceren van spraak over het thema "stemmen", een veel voorkomend onderwerp in het Engels. Je leert niet alleen nieuwe woorden en zinnen, maar ook hoe je verschillende spreekstanden en intonaties nabootst. Dit helpt je om je engelse spreekvaardigheid te verbeteren, vooral als je wilt leren hoe je in een conversatie over politiek, keuzes en gemeenschap kunt communiceren. Door de video te gebruiken, leer je Engels met video's op een interactieve manier, wat je helpt om zowel het verstand als de oren te trainen.

Belangrijke woorden en zinnen

  • Vote – Stemmen. Bijvoorbeeld: "I will vote for the new mayor." (Ik zal stemmen voor de nieuwe burgemeester.)
  • Register – Aanmelden. "You need to register before you can vote." (Je moet je aanmelden voordat je kunt stemmen.)
  • Candidate – Kandidaat. "The candidate gave a speech about schools." (De kandidaat hield een toespraak over scholen.)
  • Debate – Debat. "The candidates will debate on TV tonight." (De kandidaten zullen vanavond op TV debatteren.)
  • Independent – Onafhankelijk. "She is an independent voter, not in a party." (Ze is een onafhankelijk kiezer, niet in een partij.)

Oefentips

Om je engelse uitspraak te verbeteren, gebruik de techniek van schaduw spreken (of schaduwspreekt). Hierbij luister je naar een korte fragment van de video (5-10 seconden) en herhaal je het onmiddellijk na, net als een schaduw. Let op de snelheid: de video heeft een conversatieele snelheid, niet te snel, waardoor het goed te volgen is. Focus op de intonatie, vooral bij vragen of opvallende opmerkingen (bijv. "That's important!"). Herhaal elk fragment meerdere keren totdat je de klank en de rhythmiek na kunt bootsen. Dit helpt je om je spreekvaardigheid te verbeteren en zelfverzekerd te worden in het spreken van Engels. Probeer ook om de dialoog te acteren: gebruik handgebaren en gezichtsuitdrukkingen, net als de sprekers in de video. Dit maakt de oefening leuker en helpt je om de betekenis van de woorden beter te begrijpen.

Grammatica in deze video

De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:

StructuurIn de video
Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doetbe elected · is decided · was left
Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog teltYou've probably heard · have been recounted
Mogelijkheid met “might / may” might/may + werkwoord — iets is mogelijk maar niet zekermight even find · might have · might even be
Advies met “should” should + werkwoord — zeggen wat een goed idee isshould vote · should have · Should dogs

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.
