1
Hi.
2
Hi.
3
Are you a new student?
4
I saw you in my math class.
5
Yes, I'm a new exchange student from Spain.
6
I'm studying at Boston University for a year.
7
I'm Emma.
8
I'm Marta.
9
How has your first month in the US been?
10
Are you having a good time?
11
Yes, it's really great.
12
I'm glad I made the decision to go abroad.
13
I've always wanted to live in another country.
14
What made you finally decide to do it?
15
I knew that studying abroad would make a difference in my education and my life.
16
But I was afraid I would miss my family too much.
17
My grandpa told me to follow my dream and take the chance.
18
Then one day, I decided to take my grandpa's advice and just do it.
19
I was tired of making excuses for why I couldn't go.
20
That's how I came to this decision.
21
You're really brave.
22
I don't know if I could spend a year in another country,
23
especially if people spoke another language.
24
Actually, I've been learning English my whole life.
25
I've always had a passion for it.
26
I saw Boston in some American movies.
27
It looked so nice that I wanted to make the effort to come here.
28
Have you seen any sights yet?
29
Not yet.
30
I've been too busy doing my homework.
31
I didn't realize how many assignments American professors give.
32
I know.
33
I've been thinking about making a complaint to the Dean of Students.
34
Some of my teachers make me take a test every week.
35
Wow, that's terrible.
36
That reminds me I have an assignment I need to get started on soon.
37
One of my teachers wanted me to write a 10-page paper.
38
Wow, that's long.
39
I hope you get to take a break soon.
40
There are so many things to see and do in Boston.
41
I might see some size this weekend.
42
I have to do the shopping for my apartment,
43
so I'll be out anyway.
44
Do you have any recommendations?
45
Sannel Hall is a fun marketplace to visit.
46
I think you would love to spend time looking at all the shops and getting some food.
47
I'd love to try some American foods.
48
I do the cooking at my apartment,
49
so I only eat Spanish food.
50
Wow, you cook?
51
I'm terrible at cooking.
52
Every time I try to make dinner, I make a mistake.
53
One time, I added too much seasoning,
54
and the taste was horrible.
55
Another time, I forgot I had left something on the stove,
56
and it caught fire.
57
The food stuck to the pan.
58
I made a mess.
59
I could do you a favor and teach you how to cook.
60
That's okay.
61
I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not a good cook.
62
Would you do me a favor then?
63
Sure.
64
What is it?
65
Could you make time to take me to Fenuil Hall this weekend?
66
I'm afraid I'll get lost if I go alone.
67
Sure, that'd be fun.
68
I can show you where to find a cheap meal so that you don't go bankrupt.
69
Thanks.
70
It's always good to save money.
71
I can't get a job to make money in the US,
72
so I can't spend too much.
73
I must spend my money wisely.
74
I know what you mean.
75
What time do you want to go this weekend?
76
I'm having a haircut on Saturday morning.
77
Can we make plans a little later?
78
I need to make a quick call to my mother.
79
Sure.
80
Take your time and talk to her.
81
We can meet in the cafeteria for dinner at 5 o'clock p.m.
82
Sounds good.
83
I'll see you soon.
84
Hi, Emma.
85
Hi, Marta.
86
Take a seat.
87
Thanks.
88
Did you manage to speak to your mom?
89
Yes, I did.
90
She had called me a few times before,
91
but I couldn't take her calls.
92
Then I quickly texted her and made a promise to call her later.
93
So I had to keep my promise.
94
The guy behind you keeps looking at you.
95
I think you caught his attention.
96
Really?
97
Yes.
98
Just take a look.
99
Hi.
100
Hi.
101
Do you know him?
102
Yes.
103
We take a class together.
104
From the way he is looking at you,
105
I'm getting the impression that he likes you.
106
Can you keep a secret?
107
Sure.
108
I like him too.
109
That's great!
110
You should give him your phone number.
111
I don't think that's a good idea.
112
I get frightened just thinking about going on a date.
113
Haven't you been on a date before?
114
Yes, but that was in Spain.
115
I don't know what to expect with American boys.
116
I don't want anyone to bring my heart.
117
Besides, every time I catch sight of a cute boy,
118
I'm too afraid to talk because I get worried he might find my accent weird.
119
Are you kidding?
120
Your English is so good.
121
You don't need to worry.
122
Besides, the right guy will like you just the way you are.
123
Okay, I'll go talk to him then.
124
I'll do my best not to make a fool of myself.
125
What happened?
126
I was going to go break the ice and talk to him,
127
but someone else sat down.
128
Who was it?
129
I hate to make assumptions,
130
but I think she's his girlfriend.
131
Yes, I think you're right.
132
Sorry, Marta.
133
That's okay.
134
I'm just glad I've met a friend today.
135
Really?
136
Who?
137
You!

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.
