Hi, Chris!

Hi, Claire.

How's it going?

How are you enjoying college life?

Well, it's all so new right now.

There's so much to take in.

Haha.

I remember my first semester.

I felt the same.

How about your classes?

Well, as you can imagine,

there's a lot of work already.

I bet.

So what do you study?

My major is English, but I also study American history.

That's great.

Are you enjoying the classes?

Yes, I enjoy most of them.

Have you had time to make many friends yet?

Yes, a lot, actually.

That's the best thing.

There are so many clubs you can join to meet people.

So far, I joined the women's soccer team,

the debate team, and the theater club.

Wow, that's a lot.

Don't get exhausted.

I won't.

Don't worry about me.

Where do you live now that you're in college?

I live in the dormitory.

It's quite close to the campus.

It's about a five-minute walk, so it's very convenient.

Do you like living there?

Not really, because there are so many of us packed into such a small space

that you do not get a sense of privacy at all.

I share a room with three other girls,

and there is always someone near you.

You are never alone.

If you grow up with your own room,

it's very difficult to move into the dorms,

and to have to share a small room.

It's hard not to have your personal private space anymore.

Yeah, I can imagine.

Can you ever study?

Yes, I actually go to the library study room to read and do my assignments.

Do you study a lot?

I do, especially before tests.

How many hours?

It depends on the class.

If it's difficult, I study about six hours a day.

What about food?

What do you eat for food?

Do you have a kitchen?

Do you cook?

Are you kidding?

No, we have a cafeteria.

The food is pretty good and cheap.

How about your laundry?

How do you wash your clothes?

We have laundry machines every other floor in the dorm building.

And what do you do for fun?

Sometimes we'll literally relax in someone's room and just talk.

Other times we take the subway downtown and visit museums or go to restaurants when we have money.

Or we go to the movie theater or to the park.

Do you party a lot?

No, I'm not a huge fan of parties.

I rarely go to parties for the simple fact that most of the parties I attended,

I realized it was better off not going.

Hello?

Hi Grace, this is Nora.

Have you completed a class project?

Yeah, I finished it yesterday.

How about you?

No, not yet.

I'm having a hard time with the conclusion of my report.

Do you need any help?

Maybe just a little.

Do you have time tonight?

No, I'm sorry.

Tonight we are having guests over for dinner, so it's not possible.

Okay, no problem.

How about tomorrow night?

Is that okay?

Yes, sure.

It's perfect.

Can you come to my place?

Or would you rather have me come over to your house?

I prefer to come to your house.

My brother is expecting company tomorrow and they'll surely be noisy.

Hooray!

Oh, man!

Okay, then let's meet at my house.

Sounds good.

What time should I come over?

How about 5 p.m.?

I can make some delicious pancakes.

Sounds great.

I love pancakes.

I will be there tomorrow at 5 p.m.

100

Wonderful.

101

See you tomorrow night.

102

Hey, Kathy.

103

Why do you look so down?

104

Oh, hi, Laura.

105

I just got my report card.

106

Is it that bad?

107

I was hoping to get a good grade in math class, but I didn't.

108

That's a hard class.

109

I know.

110

I did well in all of my other classes, but that one.

111

You should think about the good grades you received.

112

Don't worry about one class.

113

I know, but I worked very hard,

114

so I had been hoping to get a good grade.

115

This is discouraging to me.

116

I always struggle with math despite putting in tons of effort to understand the concepts and time to practice.

117

You can't excel in all classes.

118

You're extremely talented in something else, like English, biology, drama.

119

Yeah, you make a point.

120

Thanks for your encouragement.

121

Maybe I'll hire a private math tutor to increase my math grades.

122

How did you do?

123

I did well.

124

I was most worried about science.

125

How did you do in your science class?

126

Better than I expected, but not a perfect grade.

127

How about math?

128

I did okay.

129

What does okay mean?

130

I got a B+.

131

I'm happy for you, but I'm sad for myself again.

132

Your essay's good, but I think it would be better if you cut out this paragraph here.

133

Also, it'd be a good idea to add a paragraph summing up your main point at the end.

134

This paragraph here is a bit strong.

135

Why not tone it down a bit?

136

And your point about pollution appears in several places.

137

Why not deal with it in just one paragraph?

138

And you only touch on the issue of climate change.

139

Surely that deserves a bit more space?

140

In fact, I really think you should try to set the whole thing out better.

141

Why don't you just write it then, Dad?

142

Hey Danielle, how did your American literature test go yesterday?

143

It was awful.

144

I totally flunked it.

145

Those questions about Betty Smith were very difficult.

146

Really?

147

I loved all her books.

148

Did you study for the test?

149

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to study for it.

150

Did you take notes during class?

151

No, I didn't take any notes because the professor talked too fast.

152

I couldn't keep up with him.

153

And you missed a lot of classes, right?

154

That's because the class started too early in the morning,

155

and I just couldn't make it.

156

Did you read the books,

157

and did you do the assignments?

158

No. No wonder you flunked the test.

159

Oh, stop putting me on the spot.

160

What about you?

161

How did you do on the test?

162

I did pretty well because I studied hard for the test.

163

I went to every class,

164

took notes, did the assignments, and read the books.

165

Well, good for you.

166

You better hit the books if you want to pass this course.

167

I can help you if you want to.

168

Really?

169

That's very nice of you.

170

Have you seen the new student?

171

Yes, he's in my science class.

172

He's really good looking.

173

Oh, then you must be happy to study with him.

174

I envy you.

175

Frankly, I don't want to be his partner for any of the experiments.

176

I didn't know you were so shy.

177

It's not that.

178

People who are good-looking usually aren't very smart,

179

and I'm sure that applies to him too.

180

But he has no interest in schoolwork.

181

He seems to be the kind of guy who is obsessed with his looks and takes a lot of selfies.

182

That's ridiculous.

183

How come you can tell about a person just by appearance?

184

Don't you know you should never judge a book by its cover?

185

From my experience, it's mostly true.

186

Well, I heard he was a class president at his last school.

187

What?

188

Hey, Larry.

189

Did you hear what happened in my science class today?

190

No. What happened, Mike?

191

Someone got caught cheating on the test.

192

Let me guess, it was David again?

193

Exactly!

194

He really has the guts.

195

That was already the third time he did it.

196

He really can't learn his lesson, can he?

197

That's right.

198

He is totally irresponsible.

199

How did he cheat this time?

200

He wrote some things on his hand,

201

and Mrs. Miller saw it.

202

What did she do when she saw him?

203

She sent him to the principal's office.

204

David's parents were called to school immediately.

205

They were really angry with him.

206

I wouldn't want to be in David's shoes right now.

207

He had it coming.

208

Do you think they're going to suspend him from school?

209

They might, since this is the third time he did it.

210

I feel bad for his parents.

211

How nice of you to grace us with your presence.

212

Sorry, Professor.

213

Traffic was bad.

214

Then I suggest you consider leaving home a little earlier in future.

215

My class starts at 10.30.

216

I expect that yours should too.

217

Sorry, it won't happen again.

218

I should hope not.

219

As I was saying, class,

220

I have graded last week's assignments.

221

Before I hand them out,

222

let me say that some of you have done remarkably well,

223

while others have performed almost unacceptably poorly.

224

I'd like to remind you that these assignments count towards your final grade for the semester.

225

You will do well to keep this in mind before next week's assignment.

226

Here is your assignment, Anthony.

227

Please see me once the class is dismissed.

228

Have a seat.

229

Is everything alright?

230

Yes, why?

231

Well, at the beginning of the year,

232

you were among the top five students in my class.

233

Since then, your grades have been dropping steadily,

234

and you regularly miss my classes.

235

Forgive my intrusion, but I always take a personal interest in very good students that show great promise.

236

What caused this sudden change in performance?

237

Are you going through anything at home,

238

perhaps, that you'd like to speak about?

239

Everything's fine at home, Professor.

240

I'll try to raise my grades back up.

241

Are there any reasons at all contributing to the sharp downturn in your grades?

242

Traveling isn't easy.

243

I have to take two buses a day to get to campus and back.

244

It's very tiring.

245

I sympathize with you.

246

I really do.

247

Still, there are other students who come from longer distances and attend all my classes.

248

If they can make this effort,

249

I'm sure you can too.

250

I promise to study harder from now on and attend all your classes.

251

I see a lot of potential in you.

252

I still consider you to be one of my best students.

253

Don't make me regret my opinion.

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.
