Listening one.
2
One.
3
I just walked in and there's water everywhere.
4
Calm down.
5
What seems to be the problem?
6
I don't know.
7
I've been out all day and now there's water everywhere.
8
Did you leave the sink running?
9
No. Oh, wait a minute.
10
I think it's the dishwasher.
11
It must be broken.
12
I turned it on this morning before I left, and now the kitchen is flooded.
13
Two.
14
Hello, Amy.
15
It's Mark.
16
Hi, Mark.
17
Are you on your way?
18
Yes, but I'm calling because I'm going to be late.
19
Did you get lost?
20
No, but I missed the six o 'clock train.
21
I'll have to catch the next one.
22
That's okay.
23
Thanks for calling.
24
Three.
25
Oh, no. The entire bathroom is flooded.
26
Did you leave the water running or something?
27
No, I never do that.
28
I don't know what happened.
29
Wait a minute.
30
Do you feel that?
31
Yes, there's water dripping from the ceiling.
32
Look.
33
I guess the upstairs neighbors left the water running in their bathroom.
34
Now ours is flooded.
35
We better call the manager, quick.
36
4. Hey, can you help me?
37
I've got a 10 o 'clock appointment, and I think I'm going to be a little late.
38
Did you get lost?
39
I'm afraid so.
40
Where are you?
41
I'm just opposite the new train station.
42
According to my map, there's a street that goes right through it.
43
Yes, there used to be.
44
Now you have to go down to Main Street and take a right, and then another right.
45
Oh, okay, thanks.
46
I'll be there in a little while.
47
Five.
48
Hello, this is Robert Baldwin.
49
Yes, Robert, what can I do for you?
50
I'm calling because I'm going to be late.
51
Did you get lost?
52
No, I've got a flat tire.
53
I'm going to have to call a tow truck.
54
Well, why don't we just reschedule the appointment?
55
Okay, I guess we'll have to.
56
6. Listening to One Uh -oh.
57
I just spilled some tomato sauce on the rug.
58
What?
59
You spilled tomato juice on the floor?
60
No, on the rug.
61
Tomato sauce.
62
Now there's a stain.
63
Oh, I have the best solution for that.
64
Really?
65
Just pour soda on it.
66
Soda?
67
That sounds crazy.
68
I'm serious.
69
Pour plain soda on it.
70
Don't you think plain water will work?
71
Trust me.
72
Soda is the best thing.
73
I've seen it work.
74
Okay.
75
I'll try it.
76
Two.
77
I need your advice.
78
What's the matter?
79
Lisa invited me over for tea yesterday.
80
When we finished, I was carrying this heavy teapot in a tray, and I slipped.
81
Oh, no. Did you spill tea on your clothes?
82
No, worse.
83
I dropped the tray, and Lisa's teapot broke into little pieces.
84
It was her favorite teapot, and it looked expensive.
85
Well, if I were you, I would offer to buy her a new one.
86
You don't think an apology is enough?
87
No, you should at least offer to buy her a new one.
88
You're right.
89
That's the best thing to do.
90
Three.
91
Oh no, I've got a stain on my new shirt.
92
What should I do?
93
Is it a food stain?
94
No, unfortunately it's ink.
95
Ink?
96
That's very tricky.
97
Should I just put some water on it?
98
Hmm, let me look it up on the internet.
99
Here it is.
100
For ink, use plain soda.
101
It will lift the stain right out.
102
That doesn't sound right to me.
103
I'm sure this is right.
104
Let's try it.
105
No way.
106
I'm not going to do an experiment on my best shirt.
107
I'm going to take it to the dry cleaner.
108
Four.
109
Remember that jacket my aunt gave me for my birthday?
110
Sure.
111
The one you lost at the theater?
112
No. The one I spilled coffee all over.
113
Oh, yeah.
114
It was ruined.
115
Yes.
116
Anyway, she's invited me to dinner.
117
I'm afraid if I don't wear the jacket, her feelings will be hurt.
118
You should just buy a new one exactly like it.
119
Gee, I don't know.
120
That sounds expensive.
121
But you don't want to offend your aunt, do you?
122
No. But she's very understanding.
123
I'll just show up without it.
124
If she says anything, I'll tell her the truth.
125
The truth is always the best.
126
Five.
127
Uh -oh.
128
What happened?
129
I can't find my wallet.
130
Whenever I sit in a theater, things fall out of my pockets.
131
Oh, wait a minute.
132
There it is.
133
But my keys are missing.
134
Oh, great.
135
How will we get back into the house?
136
Well, we could go back to the theater and try to find them.
137
But the theater is closed.
138
It's past midnight.
139
Well, I guess we'll have to call a locksmith.
140
Is there such a thing as a 24 -hour locksmith?
141
I'm sure there is.
142
I'll look one up on my phone.
143
Why are you stopping?
144
Is there something wrong with the car?
145
No, the car is fine, but we're lost.
146
What should we do?
147
I don't know.
148
I've got it.
149
You wait here.
150
What are you doing?
151
I'm going to ask someone for directions.
152
But there's no one around here.
153
It's completely deserted.
154
In fact, it looks kind of dangerous.
155
Do you have a better idea?
156
Yes.
157
Let's just call the restaurant and ask them how to get there.
158
That makes sense.
159
Listening to 1 Uh -oh.
160
I just spilled some tomato sauce on the rug.
161
What?
162
You spilled tomato juice on the floor?
163
No, on the rug.
164
Tomato sauce.
165
Now there's a stain.
166
Oh, I have the best solution for that.

Let's just call the restaurant and ask them how to get there.
263
That makes sense.
264
Listening 3 1.
265
I had the worst thing happen to me this morning.
266
I was running to catch the bus and I was talking on my cell phone at the same time.
267
Anyway, it was raining hard and just as I got to the bus stop, I dropped my phone in a gigantic puddle.
268
Some nice man helped me find it.
269
It was completely soaked.
270
The man told me to take the battery out and let all the parts dry out during the day.
271
It sounded like a good idea, so I tried it.
272
I put the battery back this afternoon and tried to make a call, but it doesn't work at all.
273
Now I'll have to go to the phone store and get a new one.
274
2. I had quite a mishap last night.
275
I got home from my office really late, about 11pm.
276
I reached in my pocket for my keys.
277
My phone was there, but no keys.
278
I was locked out of my apartment.
279
Then I remembered that I left my keys on the checkout counter at the grocery store at lunchtime.
280
But it was too late to go back there.
281
My apartment manager has an emergency number, but she charges a fee if you get locked out at night.
282
I decided to call anyway.
283
She came over and let me in.
284
She was pretty nice about it, but as soon as I get my key back,
285
I'm going to make a copy and give it to a neighbour.
286
3. I had a little problem this morning.
287
I was in my boss's office.
288
As I was heading back to my own office, I accidentally knocked some things off her desk onto the floor.
289
I was horrified.
290
She had a picture of her kids on her desk.
291
I was afraid that I broke it.
292
Actually, the picture was fine, but I knocked her coffee cup over.
293
There was coffee on her rug.
294
She said not to worry about it.
295
She was going to call someone to clean the rug at the end of the day,
296
but I ran into the kitchen and got some plain soda.
297
It worked perfectly.
298
The stain is completely gone.
299
Now my boss doesn't have to call a rug cleaner.
300
Four.
301
I got some ink on my new shirt at work yesterday.
302
At first, I thought it was just some food I spilled at lunchtime, but then I realized it was ink from a leaky pen.
303
I just bought that shirt last week.
304
Anyway, I called my friend Lisa.
305
She told me to put some plain soda on it and then wash it in cold water.
306
I thought I should take it to the dry cleaner, but she said this would work.
307
It sounded like a cheaper solution too, so I poured some soda on it and threw it in the washing machine.
308
When I took it out, the stain was still there.
309
In fact, it looked worse.
310
Now I'm going to have to buy a new shirt.

I slipped on the steps.
369
I dropped my phone and my cup of coffee.
370
Wow.

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.
