5
However, research shows that before we've even opened our mouths, people have already made up their minds about us, just from our appearance alone.
6
Then after that, it's things like our intonation and the tone of our voice.
7
Our choice So time spent in front of the mirror is probably time well spent.

Beep.

No secret, really.

A bit of give and take and consideration for each other.
20
I mean, even if we don't get on with all of each other's friends, at least we put up with them and don't show it.
21
We don't take each other for granted, and we have lots of things in common.
22
I'd say that's vital.
23
Things we enjoy doing together.

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "UNIT 9 CD2 TRACK 2 COMPLETE FIRST" 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.
