Good morning, Helen Ward speaking.
2
Hi Helen, it's Tom from Northgate. Is now a good time?
3
Oh, hi Tom! Sure, I've got five minutes.
4
Great. Well... I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
5
Something's come up, and I can't make Thursday's meeting.
6
Thursday? Seriously? We've had that booked for weeks!
7
I know, and I'm really sorry about the short notice.
8
Our director has called an urgent meeting with the investors.
9
Hmm. That's a bit frustrating, to be honest.
10
I've already moved two other meetings for this.
11
I completely understand, and I'll make it up to you.
12
Would Friday afternoon work for you instead?
13
No, I'm afraid I'm in Paris all day on Friday.
14
Ah, okay. What about early next week, then?
15
Monday's impossible, and Tuesday is completely packed.
16
Oh dear. I really don't want to push it back too far.
17
Neither do I. We need to sign off on this soon.
18
Wait, actually... how early do you start in the mornings?
19
Pretty early! I'm usually at my desk by eight.
20
Then how about Wednesday at eight thirty, before my day starts?
21
That's perfect! I'll come to you, and I'll bring coffee.
22
Ha, now you're talking. Can you confirm it by email?
23
Of course. I'll send a new invite in the next ten minutes.
24
And I'll attach the updated proposal, so you can read it first.
25
Great, that would be really helpful.
26
Actually, Tom, can I tell you a little secret?
27
I hadn't finished reading the proposal anyway!
28
Ha! So I've actually done you a favour, then?
29
Don't push your luck. See you on Wednesday!

Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | has called · I've already moved · I've actually done |
| Futuro com “will” will + verbo — uma decisão, promessa ou previsão | I'll make · I'll come · I'll send |
Pronúncia para ficar de olho
O falante usa 20 contrações e formas reduzidas, como I'll, I'm, I've. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.
Sons difíceis para falantes de português:
- Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: desk /dɛsk/, invite /ɪnˈvaɪt/, urgent /ˈɜː.d͡ʒənt/, frustrate /ˈfɹʌsˌtɹeɪt/, update /ˈʌp.deɪt/
- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: proposal /pɹəˈpoʊzəl/, email /ˈiˌmeɪl/
Como praticar com este vídeo
- Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
- Faça shadowing frase por frase na velocidade normal, repetindo cada uma até o seu ritmo ficar igual ao do falante.
- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como proposal, desk, helpful.
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.
