Recording 1B.
2
Okay.
3
Westfield Sports Centre, can I help you?
4
Yes, I hope so.
5
I've recently moved to the area and I want to do some sports activities.
6
Well, we have excellent facilities, including a new gymnasium and several tennis courts.
7
Our tennis team are always looking for new people.
8
Oh, I was never any good at gymnastics, and I don't think I've got the time to put into learning tennis.
9
Um, no, I'm more interested in swimming, and I'd also like to take a few yoga classes if I can.
10
OK, well, we have three swimming pools, an Olympic size 50 metre pool and a 25 metre pool, which are both outdoors.
11
and a heated indoor pool which is just 15 metres long but is very popular with our members in the winter.
12
I bet it is.
13
Do members have to pay to use the pools?
14
Well, members don't pay for the pools if they just want to swim laps on their own.
15
We even offer complimentary classes for beginners, But we do charge a small fee if you want to take part in the advanced training sessions.
16
And there's also a fee for our water -based Keep Fit class.
17
Right.
18
And would I need to book any of the facilities, or can I just come whenever I want?
19
We don't actually allow anyone to book the swimming lanes or the gym equipment.
20
But for safety reasons, we can only have a maximum of seven people in the sauna at any one time.
21
So you do need to put your name on the list for that.
22
Fine.
23
Now, I'd also really like to take a yoga class.
24
Do you have any?
25
Yes, there are classes on Monday, Tuesday and Friday, in the morning from 10 till 11.
26
and then every Saturday and Sunday in the evening.
27
Those classes are a bit longer, starting at 6 and finishing at 7 .30.
28
Right, I'll just make a note of that.
29
So does that mean that if I enrol I can come on each of those days?
30
No, each day is a different level, so you only come once a week.
31
Oh, I see.
32
Well, I've been doing yoga for a little while now, but I am still finding it quite difficult.
33
Which level do you think I should choose?
34
Most people start at the lowest level, and then you can talk to the instructor about changing if you think it's too easy.
35
Okay.
36
How much are the classes?
37
They're £1 .50 an hour for members.
38
Great.
39
Now, I'd like to come in and look at the facilities.
40
Would someone be able to show me around?
41
Yes, no problem.
42
Who should I ask for?
43
Ask for me.
44
My name is John Doherty.
45
That's D -O -H -E -R -T -Y.
46
And should I just ask for you at the reception?
47
Actually, my office is on a different level.
48
Take the lift up to level one and you'll see my name on the door right in front of you.
49
Great.
50
Erm, I'd like to come tomorrow if that's okay.
51
What time suits you?
52
Well, I have appointments from 9 to 10 .30.
53
So could you make it eleven?
54
I'm sure that will be fine.
55
But can I just take your direct number in case something else crops up?
56
That's a good idea.
57
My number's O -double -one -seven.
58
965. four seven eight.
59
Great.
60
I think that's everything, so I'll see you tomorrow.
61
Oh, my name's Alison Martin, by the way.
62
Thanks, Alison.
63
See you tomorrow.

Para quem é este vídeo?

Se você é um aprendiz de inglês intermediário ou básico com o objetivo de melhorar a prática de conversação em inglês e se sentir mais confortável em situações do dia a dia, como contatar um centro esportivo, este vídeo é perfeito. A diálogo natural entre o atendente e o cliente ajuda a treinar a compreensão de conversas reais e a praticar respostas coerentes, ideal para quem quer dominar a shadow speech (imitação de fala) e a shadowspeak.

Palavras e expressões para roubar

  • Complimentary: Gratuito. No vídeo, "complimentary classes" significa aulas gratuitas para iniciantes.
  • Enrol: Inscrever-se. "If I enrol" é usado para perguntar sobre a inscrição nas aulas.
  • Facilities: Instalações. Refere-se aos espaços do centro esportivo, como piscinas e ginásio.
  • Maximum: Máximo. "Maximum of seven people" indica o número limite de pessoas na sauna.

Como acertar o sotaque

O falante no vídeo tem uma pronúncia clara, mas preste atenção a dois detalhes para a shadowspeaks: a entonação nas perguntas (como "Can I help you?") e a redução de palavras, como "I've" (I have) e "don't" (do not). Pratique imitando a velocidade natural e a pausa após frases como "Well, we have excellent facilities" para soar mais fluente. Lembre-se: a shadow speak é sobre copiar não só as palavras, mas também o ritmo e a emoção da fala.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
