Now, let's talk to our viewers about where they live.
2
This is Josh on video chat.
3
He's calling from California.
4
Hi Josh, tell us about your home.
5
Well, I live in a big parking garage. That sounds uncomfortable.
6
Oh no, it's very comfortable.
7
I don't mean a garage at a house.
8
I mean a big space, only for cars.
9
These old garages could have up to 500 cars in them.
10
But a lot of people don't use them for cars anymore.
11
Now there are about 300 small apartments.
12
And they're very cheap.
13
Wow.
14
How big is it?
15
Is there a kitchen?
16
Yes.
17
My home isn't big.
18
It has everything.
19
There's a dining table, chairs, and a small bathroom next to the living room.
20
And my bed's opposite the kitchen. Are there any windows?
21
That's a little problem.
22
There's only one small window.
23
But I'm usually at work during the day.
24
At night, it's great.
25
Nice and quiet.
26
Well, I cook dinner for friends every Thursday, so time to go.
27
Wow, that's amazing.
28
Simon?
29
Penny, I'm talking to Charlotte from the UK.
30
Charlotte, do you live in an unusual place?
31
Simon, I'm calling because I love my flat.
32
I'm the first person to live here.
33
I have a new cooker and a modern washing machine.
34
Ah, so you love new things?
35
No, I love old things.
36
I don't understand.
37
Well, I like new things that work, but I love old furniture.
38
My wardrobe is 200 years old.
39
Wow, sounds expensive.
40
Not really.
41
I always shop for old things and I look for things that aren't expensive.
42
My new, I mean old sofa is here.
43
Gotta go.
44
Thank you, Charlotte.
45
Simon, let's go from a new flat to an old house.
46
I'm talking with Danielle.
47
She lives in France and her house is 300 years old.
48
Hi Penny, welcome to our family home.
49
And it's 300 years old.
50
Yes, I'm from Canada, but now I live here.
51
My great, great, great grandfather built this house in 1720.
52
It's dirty, so we're cleaning it at the moment.
53
Is it a lot of work?
54
Oh yes.
55
My husband's painting the living room, I'm cleaning the shelves and that old mirror.
56
Why do you like the house?
57
Well, it's in a beautiful place.
58
There are a lot of trees.
59
We have a little garden at the back of the house.
60
There's so much room.
61
There are four bedrooms, and there's a bathroom next to each bedroom.
62
It sounds lovely.
63
It is.
64
Well, I have a lot of work to do before the weekend.
65
My grandmother's birthday party is on Saturday.
66
Everyone's coming.
67
Oh, wow.
68
I hope you finish soon.
69
Bye.
70
Penny, we have time to speak to one more person.
71
This is Manu.
72
He's in Hawaii.
73
Manu, tell us about your home.
74
Well, I have a small house next to the beach.
75
See?
76
Wow.
77
That's very close to the water.
78
Yes.
79
I rent this for a few weeks, then I move.
80
So, do you move around a lot?
81
Well, I live on different beaches all summer, because there's always surfing.
82
It's a great place on the opposite side of the island.
83
So, this is how you live all year?
84
No, just three months out of the year.
85
And the other nine months?
86
Uh, I live in New York.
87
What do you do there?
88
I'm a teacher.
89
Gotta go.
90
Surf's out.
91
Well, there are certainly many different ways to live and different types of homes.
92
Where do you live?
93
Do you think a tree house sounds interesting?
94
Or a round house?
95

- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als garage, bedroom, mirror.
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.
