1
Track 2 Speaker 1 I used to live next door to an elderly lady who had about 20 cats.
2
She could never turn away a stray animal.
3
She said she preferred them to people.
4
She'd been born and raised in that house, and she'd walk around the garden chatting away happily to all her cats.
5
But, you know, I never saw her speak to a single human being.
6
Speaker 2 I first met Chris at high school.
7
She sat next to me in one of my classes and we've been inseparable ever since.
8
She made me laugh because she was always bumping into things or tripping over.
9
One day, in biology, she managed to break five test tubes.
10
But I know she's always there for me, and you can never feel miserable around her because she's always smiling.
11
Speaker 3 I'd like to describe someone I used to work with.
12
He made my job quite difficult because he couldn't work independently at all.
13
The main problem was that if he had to choose between two or three different options, he just couldn't make his mind up, so I would have to help him or choose for him.
14
I don't know whether he just lacked confidence, but it meant I couldn't get on with my own work, and that made me look unreliable, which I'm not at all.

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.
