1
How was your holiday, Tom?
2
Absolutely fine.
3
I suppose you went on one of those archaeological digs of yours.
4
What's wrong with a walking holiday if you don't want to lie on the beach?
5
Nothing really, except I'd say it doesn't give you much to think about.
6
And that's what I really need.
7
Lying on the beach isn't for me.
8
I don't necessarily want to climb a mountain or do whitewater rafting, but a bit of exercise is good.
9
It's nice to travel, too.
10
Though to be honest, once you get down to work, it doesn't matter much where you are.
11
Unless it rains all the time, perhaps.
12
So what's the attraction of grubbing about in the ground?
13
Finding a hoard of gold would be good, but most of us are realistic enough to know that won't ever happen.
14
Actually, I think it's good for me as a person.
15
What we dig needs interpreting, but you'll never know for sure whether you've got it right.
16
Others will disagree with you, and you have to respect their opinions.
17
Some people might like to claim they're saying something really relevant that'll rewrite history, but that's rather an exaggerated claim in my view.
18
I'm still not convinced I could do it.

36

37
Extract 2 You hear two colleagues talking about time management.
38
Now look at questions 3 and 4.
39
I love watching people's expressions when they turn up late for my time management seminars.
40
Why's that?
41
They sidle in, looking exactly like a child who just got caught with a hand in a cookie jar.
42
Maybe mumbling something sheepishly about traffic while their friends tease them about being late for a class on time management.
43
But we've all done it, right?
44
Not me.
45
It's causing more and more problems socially.
46
At work, it even seriously hampers promotion chances.
47
And I've known it's sour relationships, too.
48
But what's the answer?
49
I'm pretty hopeless myself.
50
I've tried setting my alarm ten, even fifteen minutes fast, but...
51
That never works.
52
Psychologically, you know it's fast so you enjoy the lion.
53
You got that right.
54
So are you telling me you're never late?
55
Hard to believe. But true.
56
So how do you do it?
57
What's the secret?
58
You have to undergo a complete change of mindset.
59
Don't just aim to be on time for appointments.
60
Become an early person, period.
61
Hmm, sounds tough.
62
But well worth it.
63
Just think, no more rushing for the train, No more missed flights or embarrassing searches for excuses at meetings or on dates?
64
Right.
65
So how do I go about it?
66

92
Right.
93
So how do I go about it?
94
Extract 3.
95
You hear two friends talking about a historical novel they have read.
96
Now look at questions 5 and 6.
97
What did you think of Lorna Dean's new book?
98
I was disappointed in the characters.
99
That's probably because you got so used to the ones that appear in all her other novels about the period.
100
The old familiar friends.
101
I thought these ones were a pretty convincing bunch, especially that rather mixed-up boy.
102
There wasn't much she could do with the plot, though.
103
The events of the period are so well documented.
104
There was a lot of local colour, I thought.
105
I suppose so, but it tended to be a bit over-explained.
106
The description didn't come in naturally.
107
Oh, I don't agree with you there.
108
I felt I got a real feel for time and place.
109
This did give us a window on a very different society.
110
The writer's view of it, of course.
111
Oh, hardly fair.
112
She'd done her research.
113
She didn't just put her own spin on things.
114
And didn't you think some of the politics and intrigue had a familiar ring?
115
An interesting parallel with what goes on today.
116
Oh, no. I took reading it as an opportunity to forget the here and now.
117

That's the end of part one.

Para quem é este vídeo?
Este vídeo é ideal para aprendizes de inglês no nível intermediário-avançado, especialmente aqueles preparando-se para exames como o CAE, ou que buscam aprimorar a prática de conversação em inglês e a compreensão de diálogos cotidianos. As discussões sobre férias e gestão do tempo são contextos reais, perfeitos para treinar a escuta ativa e a reprodução de falas naturais, essenciais para o shadowing em inglês.
Palavras e expressões para usar no dia a dia
O diálogo traz expressões coloquiais que dão naturalidade à fala. Veja algumas:
- Grubbing about in the ground: "Arranhando no chão" – usado para descrever a ação de cavar ou mexer na terra de forma informal.
- Sidle in: "Entrar devagar, de lado" – descreve a entrada de alguém que quer evitar atenção, como no exemplo de quem chega atrasado.
- Hand in a cookie jar: "Mão na jarra de biscoitos" – expressão idiomática que significa ser pego fazendo algo que não deveria.
- Hampers promotion chances: "Ameaça as chances de promoção" – útil para falar de consequências negativas no trabalho.
Como melhorar a pronúncia com este vídeo
Para dominar o shadowing (técnica de repetir falas imitando o tom e a velocidade do falante), preste atenção à entonação nas perguntas e respostas. No trecho sobre férias, a frase "What's wrong with a walking holiday?" tem uma subida de tom no final, típica de perguntas. Já no diálogo sobre gestão do tempo, a expressão "I'm pretty hopeless myself" usa uma entonação mais baixa, transmitindo sinceridade. Pratique repetir essas frases imediatamente após o falante – isso ajuda a treinar a fluência e a adaptação à shadowspeak. Além disso, um shadowing site pode ser útil para gravar e comparar sua pronúncia com a do vídeo, identificando pontos a melhorar.
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verbo — um hábito ou estado do passado que não é mais verdade | used to the |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | I've known · I've tried · have read |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | was disappointed |
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.
