Well, I've done several different things.
67
I've just finished a short-term contract as a courier and now I'm working as a waiter in one of the big hotels.

Uh-huh.
69
That can't leave you much time for studying.
70
Oh, it's not too bad.
71
I managed to fit it all in.
72
What are you studying?
73
My ambition is to go into Parliament eventually, so my major subject is politics.
74
That's partly why I think the Youth Council is important and want to be a part of it.
75
And I suppose you're also taking a minor subject, aren't you?
76
I know a lot of people study economics too.
77
I chose history.
78
To be honest, I'm not finding it as interesting as I expected.

81
OK, so with your studying and your part-time job, do you have time for any other interests or hobbies?

83
That's pretty impressive.
84
Anything else?
85
For relaxation, I'm also keen on the cinema.
86
I used to go at least once a week, but I can't manage to go so often now.
87
Right.
88
Are you sure you'll have enough time for the Youth Council?
89
Yes, I've worked out that I can afford to reduce my hours at work and that will make the time.
90
So is there any particular aspect of the Youth Council's work that appeals to you, Roger?
91
Well, my sister is blind,
92
so I'm particularly interested in working with disabled young people to try and improve the quality of their lives.
93
That's great.
94
Well, the best way to get involved is to be nominated by some people who you know.
95
Right.
96
Can you tell me how to set about organising that?
97
You should talk to Geoffrey, our elections officer.
98
I can arrange a meeting in the council office with him, if you like.

Would you like to suggest a time?

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.
