Section 1.

You will hear a woman talking to a doctor at a clinic about a medical problem.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.
4
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
5
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
6
Hi, come and take a seat.
7
Thank you.
8
My name is Carl Rogers and I'm one of the doctors here at the Total Health Clinic.
9
So I understand this is your first visit to the clinic.
10
Yes, it is.
11
OK.
12
Well, I hope you'll be very happy with the service you receive here.
13
So if it's alright with you, I'll take a few details to help me give you the best possible service.
14
Sure.
15
So, can I check first of all that we have the correct personal details for you?
16
So your full name is Julie Ann Garcia?
17
That's correct.
18
The woman's name is Julie Ann Garcia.
19
So Garcia has been written in the space.
20
Now we shall begin.
21
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
22
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
23
Hi, come and take a seat.
24
Thank you.
25
My name's Carl Rogers and I'm one of the doctors here at the Total Health Clinic, so I understand this is your first visit to the clinic?
26
Yes, it is.
27
Okay, well I hope you'll be very happy with the service you receive here, so if it's alright with you, I'll take a few details to help me give you the best possible service?
28
Sure.
29
So, can I check first of all that we have the correct personal details for you?
30
So, your full name is Julie Ann Garcia?
31
That's correct.
32
Perfect.
33
And can I have a contact phone number?
34
It's 219-442-9785.
35
Okay.
36
And then can I just check that we have the correct date of birth?
37
October 10th, 1992.
38
Oh, I actually have 1991.
39
I'll just correct that now.
40
Right, so that's all good.
41
Now, I just need a few more personal details.
42
Do you have an occupation, either full-time or part-time?
43
Yes, I work full-time in Estherhazy's, you know, the restaurant chain.
44
I started off as a waitress there a few years ago, and I'm a manager now.
45
Oh, I know them.
46
Yeah, they're down on 114th Street, aren't they?
47
That's right.
48
Yeah, I've been there a few times.
49
I just love their salads.
50
That's good to hear.
51
Right, so one more thing I need to know before we talk about why you're here, Julie, and that's the name of your insurance company.
52
It's Cauley Life Insurance.
53
That's C-A-W-L-E-Y.
54
Excellent.
55
Thank you so much.
56
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
57
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
58
Now, Julie, let's look at how we can help you.
59
So tell me a little about what brought you here today.
60
Well, I've been getting a pain in my knee, the left one.
61
Not very serious at first, but it's gotten worse, so I thought I ought to see someone about it.
62
That's certainly the right decision.
63
So how long have you been aware of this pain?
64
Is it just a few days or is it longer than that?
65
Longer.
66
It's been worse for the last couple of days but it's three weeks since I first noticed it.
67
It came on quite gradually though so I kind of ignored it at first.
68
And have you taken any medication yourself or treated it in any way?
69
Yeah, I've been taking medication to deal with the pain, Tylenol, and that works okay for a few hours, but I don't like to keep taking it.
70
Okay, and what about heat treatment?
71
Have you tried applying heat at all?
72
No, but I have been using ice on it for the last few days.
73
And does that seem to help the pain at all?
74
A little, yes.
75
Good.
76
Now, you look as if you're quite fit normally.
77
I am, yes.
78
So do you do any sport on a regular basis?
79
Yes, I play a lot of tennis.
80
I belong to a club, so I go there a lot.
81
I'm quite competitive, so I enjoy that side of it as well as the exercise, but I haven't gone since this started.
82
Sure.
83
And do you do any other types of exercise?
84
Yeah, I sometimes do a little swimming, but usually just when I'm on vacation.
85
But normally I go running a few times a week.
86
maybe three or four times.
87
So your legs are getting quite a pounding, but you haven't had any problems up to now?
88
No, not with my legs.
89
I did have an accident last year when I slipped and hurt my shoulder, but that's better now.
90
Excellent.
91
And do you have any allergies?
92
No, none that I'm aware of.
93
And do you take any medication on a regular basis?
94
Well, I take vitamins, but that's all.
95
I'm generally very healthy.
96
Okay.
97
Well, let's have a closer look and see what might be causing this problem.
98
If you can just get up.
99
That is the end of section one.
100
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
101
Now turn to section 2.

Что вы узнаете

Этот диалог поможет вам улучшить два ключевых навыка: разбор быстрого разговорного английского (особенно в медицинских или офисных контекстах) и корректное произношение личных данных (номеров телефонов, дат рождения, фамилий). Вы также научитесь распознавать, как носители корректируют информацию в ходе разговора (например, исправление года рождения), что важно для понимания реального общения.

Слушайте на эти звуки

В диалоге много примеров связной речи. Обратите внимание на сжатие слов: "I'll take" звучит как "I'll take" (без паузы между "I'll" и "take"), а "it's alright" превращается в "it's alrigh'" (сокращение "t" в конце). Также заметьте, как "October 10th, 1992" произносится как "October tenth nineteen ninety-two" с плавным переходом между словами. Эти особенности помогут вам лучше понимать носителей и говорить более естественно.

Говорите, как.native

Чтобы подражать ритму и ударениям диалога, используйте технику shadow speech (или "тень"). Сначала прослушайте короткий отрезок (5-10 секунд), затем повторите его сразу же, пытаясь совпадать по темпу и интонации. Например, фраза "I work full-time in Estherhazy's" имеет ударение на "full-time" и "Estherhazy's" — подчеркните эти слова, чтобы передать смысловое значение. Также обратите внимание на паузы: после "Yes, it is" и "Sure" есть короткие перерывы, которые делают речь живой. Практикуйте shadowing английский ежедневно, и вы заметите прогресс в произношении за несколько недель. Для тренировки можно использовать специальные shadowing site, где вы найдете аналогичные диалоги с транскриптами.

  • Повторяйте фразы медленно, сначала разбирая каждое слово, затем ускоряйте темп.
  • Запишите себя и сравните с оригиналом — это поможет увидеть разницу в интонации.
  • Фокусируйтесь на ударениях: в английском они часто меняют смысл предложения.

Эти упражнения не только улучшат ваше произношение, но и помогут быстрее воспринимать речь на слух. Начните с этого диалога, и soon вы будете говорить с уверенностью, как герои видео!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
