153
Tony's mother talked about food with her friends at work today.
154
Which food does each person often like eating?
155
What did you talk about at work today, Mum?
156
Oh, lots of things.

158
You know Bill?

161
He eats them about three times a week.
162
That's too often, I think.
163
Can you see the letter D?
164
Now you listen and write a letter in each box.
165
There's someone called Mary at work who loves eating melon.
166
There are lots of different kinds, but she likes them all, and she gets one every week at the supermarket.
167

She goes to a pizza restaurant every Friday because she loves those.
180

181
I know.
182
It's strange because cheese isn't her favourite food, but I don't think they always put cheese on them.
183
Would you like to go there one day with her?
184
Yes, please, Mum.
185
Ben doesn't like eating very much.
186
He's more interested in other things.
187

188
No, he does eat.
189

193
What does she like?
194

Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson
This A2 speaking lesson is built on the video “Flyers 1 - Test 1 with answer keys”. The speaker keeps coming back to these words: listen, colour, draw, eat. This video has 419 sentences and 2236 words to shadow. The speech runs for 23:38. The speaker talks slowly, about 95 words per minute, so there is time to copy every sound. 87% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English, so the vocabulary is easy to follow. 136 of its 419 sentences are questions, so it is good practice for question intonation and short answers.

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.
