Is it any good?

Well, I hadn't become a member yet, but they showed me around.
11
It was pretty good.
12
I was thinking of joining so that I could do diving lessons, but there's no pool, so I don't know.
13
Oh, that's a shame.
14
Did you try any of the facilities while you were there?
15
I did a quick workout in the gym at the sports centre.

You'd like it because they have a running track outside.

37
Oh, really?
38
Do you mean in team sports?
39
Well, I play football, but only for fun with my friends.
40
I preferred baseball when I was at school.
41
I was quite good at it and I almost played in a national tournament once.
42
But no, I'm actually hoping to go out to Spain to take part in the surfing championships next month.

That sounds amazing.

I wish you the best of luck.

Where will the friends go running this evening?
60
I'm not as fit as I used to be.
61
I need to start doing some training again.
62
Well, why don't you come for a run with me this evening after college?
63
I usually set off from home around six o'clock.
64
We could go along a path through the woods near college, or we could go into the countryside, which is what I do.
65
There's a path by the river.
66
It's more peaceful than running through the streets and there are some beautiful views.
67
Well, okay then, why not?
68
Now listen again.

I'm not as fit as I used to be.

4. Which winter sport was Max good at when he was young?
78
I'm going snowboarding next week.
79
Have you ever tried it, Max?
80
Not since I entered a competition when I was a teenager.
81
It didn't end well.
82
I came last and injured my ankle.
83
Oh, that doesn't sound good.
84
Well, no, it wasn't.
85
I used to be one of the fastest skiers I knew when I was that age.
86
My family lived in Switzerland for a few years, so I just expected to be good at other winter sports too, like snowboarding and ice hockey.
87
But I failed to get into the school team for that.
88
Really?

Now listen again.

Good morning Highfield Sports Centre.
103
Oh, hi, my name's Charlotte.
104
I was playing squash at the centre yesterday.
105
I wonder if anyone's found one of my trainers.
106
It's got Charlotte in it.
107
I was on court three with my friend.
108
I usually put everything in my backpack with my racket.
109
I've got one, but the other isn't there.
110
Fortunately, they aren't new, but if you could look for me that would be great.
111
Okay, just let me check for you.
112
Yes, it's here.
113
Oh, fantastic.

You know we said we'd meet at the sailing club later this afternoon.
133
Well, the thing is, I forgot that I've already got an appointment at the golf club.
134
My son, Tom, is thinking about joining, so I wanted to show him around.
135
We're also going to meet the coach.
136
I want to ask a few questions.
137
Tom plays a lot of football, and I'm not sure it will be easy for him to do both sports.
138
Can we meet another day instead?
139
Sorry about this.
140
Now listen again.

I'm sure you're also looking forward to the basketball competition in a few weeks as well.
154
Don't forget to buy a ticket at reception if you'd like to watch.
155
And if you want to be one of the first people to try out the climbing wall, come and book a session.
156
You'll be able to do that from the 31st of this month.

Para quem é esse vídeo?

Esse vídeo é perfeito para aprendizes de inglês intermediários que querem se preparar para provas de listening, como as do tipo "Part 1" de exames internacionais. Se seu objetivo é entender diálogos cotidianos, identificar detalhes cruciais (como ações ou esportes) e melhorar a compreensão auditiva em situações reais, essa é uma ótima ferramenta. Ele também serve para quem pratica shadow speech (imitação de fala) e quer treinar a escuta ativa.

Palavras e expressões para roubar (e usar!)

No diálogo, há algumas expressões que valem a pena anotar. Veja:

  • Go along to: Significa "ir até" ou "visitar". Exemplo: "I went along to the sports centre" (Fui até o centro esportivo).
  • Show around: "Mostrar por aí" ou "fazer uma visita guiada". No vídeo: "they showed me around" (me fizeram uma visita guiada).
  • Quick workout: "Treino rápido". Útil para falar de exercícios: "I did a quick workout in the gym" (Fiz um treino rápido na academia).
  • Into sport: "Interessado(a) em esportes". Pergunta comum: "Are you into sport?" (Você gosta de esportes?)

Como acertar o sotaque nesse vídeo

O fala no vídeo tem uma pronúncia clara e neutra, ideal para treinar a escuta. Para imitá-lo com shadow speak, preste atenção em:

  • A entonação nas perguntas: Frases como "Is it any good?" ou "Do you mean in team sports?" terminam com uma subida de tom, típica de perguntas em inglês. Tente reproduzir essa subida suave.
  • A pronúncia de "sports": A letra "s" no final é sussurrada, não gritada. Diferenciar "sport" (singular) de "sports" (plural) depende desse "s" suave.
  • A ligação entre palavras: No trecho "I was thinking of joining", a palavra "of" é reduzida a "ov" (quase "uhv"), o que é comum em fala coloquial. Isso ajuda a fluidez ao falar.

Praticar com esse vídeo pode ajudar a melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e se acostumar com diálogos reais. Use um shadowing site para gravar sua voz e comparar com o original — você vai notar a diferença rapidamente!

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.
