Track 16.
2
Hi guys, it's me again, Jeff.
3
Can you let me know when you've received this message?
4
I've just realised that I probably won't be able to be there at the start of the competition, because I have an appointment that I can't cancel,
5
so I'm going to tell you what event I want each of you to organise during the day, just so that you know.
6
I've tried to work it out so that each of you can be in charge of the event you prefer, as far as possible.
7
So, first of all, the morning.
8
Now, Steve and Amanda, I know that you both like badminton, and Amanda, you used to do gymnastics, so I know you'd be happy with either,
9
but I have to make sure of the best arrangement on the day.
10
Amanda, if I remember rightly, you also once did some training in the rules of badminton, so it might be best if you take that on, rather than the gymnastics.
11
It will be useful to have you there to help with judging line calls and so on.
12
That means either you, Steve, or you, Malik, with the gymnastics.
13
Either of you is capable of doing that, but that leaves the weightlifting.
14
Both of you do a lot of the general training in our sports centre, but this is a bit more specialist in terms of getting the weights right for each competitor.
15
Okay, for the moment, I'll put Steve in charge of the gymnastics, and Malik can take care of the weightlifting in the morning,
16
as I think you have just that bit more experience of dealing with weights, Malik.
17
For the afternoon, I know Amanda and Malik would both love to do the basketball, as you both play it, but Malik, you're already doing the weightlifting,
18
so perhaps Amanda, you can do the basketball.
19
Actually, no. I've just thought.
20
I'm pretty certain I'll be in for the afternoon.
21
So Malik, you won't need to do the weightlifting then.
22
How about you do the basketball, Malik?
23
Then I can take over the weightlifting in the afternoon, as I'm particularly keen on that, as you all know, and I'd like a chance to get involved with it.
24
So then, Amanda, you can do the table tennis, but that leaves Steve without anything.
25
No, that's okay actually, if we leave it at that.
26
Steve, you can be available to help wherever you're needed in the afternoon.
27
And if something happens and I can't make it in the early afternoon, you can take care of the weightlifting till I arrive.
28
Though I don't think there'll be any problems.
29
Okay, if you need to check on anything, call me on my mobile.
30
Otherwise, see you next week.
31
I think we're going to have a great day.

About This Lesson

You're practicing English with "MINDSET FOR IELTS 2 UNIT 2 TRACK 16" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.

Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.

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.
