Please come in.
183
Thanks.
184
What seems to be the problem?
185
My toilet keeps running after I flush it.
186
And my water bill has gone up.
187
I see.
188
How long has this been happening? For about two weeks.
189
I hoped it would stop, but it didn't.
190
No problem.
191
Let me have a look.
192
I found the issue.
193
The flush valve inside the tank is worn out, so the water keeps flowing.
194
Is it difficult to fix?
195
Not at all.
196
I just need to replace the old valve with a new one.
197
It should take about 20 minutes.
198
That's good news.
199
Please do it.
200
Everything is finished.
201
Would you like to test it?
202
Sure.
203
It works perfectly.
204
The water stops after a few seconds now.
205
Excellent.
206
That should also help lower your water bill.
207
I hope so.

How much do I owe you?
209
The total is $95.
210
That includes the new part, the repair, and the service call.

At the Hair Salon Good morning!
218
Welcome to Style Studio.
219
How can I help you today?
220
Hi!
221
I have an appointment at 10 o'clock.
222
My name is Emily.
223
Great!
224
We've been expecting you.
225
Please follow me.
226
What would you like to do with your hair today?
227
I think it's time for a big change.
228
I've had the same hairstyle for years, and I'm ready for a completely new look.
229
I love hearing that.
230
What don't you like about your current hairstyle?
231
It's too long, outdated, and boring.
232
I want something modern and stylish.
233
Are you open to cutting it much shorter?
234
Yes, definitely.
235
I was thinking about a shoulder-length bob.
236
That would suit your face shape very well.
237
Have you thought about changing the color too?
238
Yes, I'd like to go light brown.
239
We could add some blonde highlights or some light brown highlights.
240
I like the idea of light brown highlights.
241
That's a great choice.
242
They'll add depth and brightness to your hair.
243
Perfect.
244
I also want my hair to have less volume.
245
My hair feels too thick and bulky.
246
No problem.
247
I'll thin it out a little and add some layers.
248
We're almost finished.
249
I'll style your hair so you can see the final result.
250
I think you're going to love it.
251
Wow, I can't believe that's me.
252
It looks amazing.
253
I'm so glad you like it.
254
I feel like a completely different person.
255
Thank you so much.
256
You're very welcome.
257
Sometimes a new hairstyle is the perfect way to start a new chapter.
258
Returning an item to an electronics store.
259
Good afternoon.
260
How can I help you today?
261
Hi.
262
I'd like to return these wireless headphones.
263
No problem.
264
Can I ask why you're returning them?
265
They don't work properly.
266
The sound keeps cutting out and the battery doesn't last very long.
267
I see.
268
When did you buy them?
269
I bought them about a week ago.
270
Do you have the receipt?
271
Yes, here it is.
272
Thank you.
273
Let me check your purchase.
274
Everything looks fine.
275
Since you bought them less than 30 days ago, you can choose a refund or an exchange.
276
I'd like to exchange them for another pair of the same model.
277
Certainly.
278
We have another pair available.
279
Great!
280
Can I test them before I take them home? Of course.
281
That's a good idea.
282
Here you go!
283
Everything is working perfectly.
284
I'll take these.
285
Perfect!
286
Please sign here to confirm the exchange.
287
Thank you!
288
Here's your new receipt and your replacement headphones.
289
Thank you for your help.
290
You're welcome.
291
Have a great day!

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.
