Anna.

It's Anna.

Right.

Jeff Clayton's voice is angry.

I'm calling the police in the morning.
18
They can come to the office and when Anna walks in, Wait!

It went onto a memory stick.

I took some screenshots of the file download.

We can show the police those, but they don't prove anything.

Somebody took the file from the office computer, yes, but the file's not on her laptop now.

Well, the Trojan horse was plan A, and now I have plan B, I say.
41
Where is the Blanding's file now?

We need to know that.

Maybe Spark and Flash have got the file already.

Что вы узнаете

Этот диалог поможет улучшить два ключевых навыка разговорного английского: выразение эмоций через интонацию (злость, неудовольствие, решительность) и быструю реакцию в спонтанной речи. Вы научитесь распознавать, как изменяется темп речи при эмоциональной нагрузке, и практиковать ответы в ситуациях, где нужно быстро обосновать свою позицию. Это идеально подходит для тех, кто хочет улучшить произношение английского и научиться говорить естественно.

Слушайте за этими звуками

В диалоге много примеров связной речи и редукций. Обратите внимание на:
- "I'm not now" → произносится как [аɪм нот наʊ] (связь между "not" и "now").
- "What's happening?" → [вотс хэпениŋ] (сжатие "what is" до "what's" и связь с "happening").
- "She's going to say" → [шиз гоʊɪŋ тʊ сеɪ] (редукция "is" до "s" и мягкое произношение "to" как [тʊ]).
Эти звуки помогут вам лучше понять быструю речь носителей и подготовиться к shadowing английский.

Говорите как.native

Чтобы подражать ритму и ударениям носителей, используйте технику shadowing (последование за речью). Сначала слушайте короткие фразы, затем повторяйте их сразу после говорящего, копируя интонацию и темп. Например:
- "Jeff's voice is angry" → подчеркните "angry" (ударение на первом слоге), сделайте паузу перед словом, чтобы передать злость.
- "We can show the police those" → акцентируйте "show" и "police", чтобы подчеркнуть важность доказательств.
Используйте shadowing site или приложения для shadow speech, чтобы тренироваться регулярно — это быстро улучшит ваше произношение и уверенность в речи.

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.
