Tony's mother talked about food with her friends at work today.

Which food does each person often like eating?

What did you talk about at work today, Mum?

Oh, lots of things.
8
But at lunch, we talked about food.
9
You know Bill?
10
Yes.
11
Well, he loves eating chips like you.
12
He eats them about three times a week.
13
That's too often, I think.
14
Can you see the letter D?
15
Now you listen and write a letter in each box.
16
There's someone called Mary at work who loves eating melon.
17
There are lots of different kinds, but she likes them all, and she gets one every week at the supermarket.
18
I don't like it much.
19
I don't think it tastes of anything.
20
Don't you?
21
I like it sometimes.
22
What did the other people like?
23

29
I like Alex.
30
She goes to a pizza restaurant every Friday because she loves those.
31
Me too.
32
I know.
33
It's strange because cheese isn't her favourite food, but I don't think they always put cheese on them.

Would you like to go there one day with her?
35
Yes, please, Mum.
36
Ben doesn't like eating very much.

39
No, he does eat.
40
He just finds it boring.
41
He prefers snacks, I think, but he loves eating chocolate.
42
I'm sure about that, because he always has some on his desk at work.
43
What about that woman who telephones you sometimes?
44
What does she like?
45
You mean Katie?
46
She buys biscuits every morning on the way to work and eats them every day.
47
She loves them.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
