1
Hello, Simon. Thanks for seeing me.
2
Not at all, Hannah. Please, have a seat.
3
I've come about an invoice from Bright Print.
4
We sent it to you in March.
5
Oh yes. Is there a problem with it?
6
I'm afraid it hasn't been paid yet.
7
It was due three weeks ago.
8
Really? I'm so sorry about that.
9
Could you give me the invoice number?
10
Of course. It's two four seven one.
11
Thank you. And how much was it for?
12
One thousand two hundred pounds, including tax.
13
Let me have a look on the system.
14
Ah, I can see what's happened.
15
It was sent to the wrong department.
16
Oh dear. That explains the delay.
17
When do you think you can pay it?
18
We usually make payments on Fridays.
19
So it should reach you by next Monday.
20
I'd be grateful if it could be sooner.
21
We're a small company, you see.
22
Late payments make things quite difficult for us.
23
I completely understand. Let me see what I can do.
24
I'll ask my manager to approve it today.
25
That would be a great help. Thank you.
26
If she agrees, you'll have it by Wednesday.
27
Could you send me an email to confirm?
28
Certainly. I'll do that straight away.
29
One more thing. Is our address correct on your system?
30
Let me check. Is it still King Street?
31
No, we moved to Mill Road in January.
32
Ah. I'll update that right now.
33
Again, I do apologise for the delay.
34
That's all right. These things happen.
35
It won't happen again, I promise.
36
Thanks for sorting it out so quickly.

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.
