I've cleaned my room.

Wow, it looks great in here.
159
I can see the floor again.
160
Ha ha.
161
Very funny, Mum.
162
Look at all these things that I've found.
163
I haven't seen them for a long time.
164
Here's my camera.
165
Where did you find that?
166
It was in my rucksack.
167
I took it with me

Great!

You can take it camping next weekend.

174
What else did you find?

Here's the torch that I got for my birthday.
176
I thought it was in my cupboard with the shoes, but it wasn't.
177
It was on the shelf behind some books.
178
How did it get there?
179
I've no idea.
180
I'll take that camping too.

Yes, you'll need it.
182
And look what else I found.
183
It's William's DVD.
184
It was behind my computer.
185
Oh dear, you've had that for months and you must give it back to him.

187
I'll give it to him at school tomorrow.
188
OK.
189
Did you find anything else?
190
Yes, I found my favourite football.
191
How can you lose a football, Michael?
192
I don't know.
193

194
I'm very happy to find it again.
195
And look, do you remember this?
196
Oh, yes.
197
It's the toy train you had when you were very young.
198
You played with that all the time.
199
Where did you find that?
200
It was under my shoes, in my cupboard.
201

Yes, I did.
209
Great.
210
Where was it?
211
It was behind the armchair, under some magazines.
212
OK.
213
Well, maybe if you clean your room more often, you won't lose so many things.
214
I'll try, Mum.
215

Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson
This speaking lesson is built on the video “Flyers COLLINS Three Practice Tests - Listening Test 1”. The speaker keeps coming back to these words: colour, listen, write, katie, boy. This video has 450 sentences and 2720 words to shadow. The speech runs for 28:36. The speaker talks slowly, about 95 words per minute, so there is time to copy every sound. 86% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English; the rest is worth studying before you start. 134 of its 450 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.
