265

So to our listeners, you can say, I like to listen to podcasts.

266

267

We do.

268

Okay, let's think about another topic.

269

What about shopping?

270

Do you like shopping, Emily?

271

That's an interesting question.

272

I don't love shopping for clothes.

273

It can be tiring.

274

I agree.

275

So you can say, I don't really like shopping for clothes.

276

Yes, exactly.

277

But I do like shopping for books.

278

I can spend hours in a bookstore.

279

Ah, that's different.

284

It's part of the cooking experience you enjoy so much.

285

Exactly.

286

It's all connected.

287

So let's give our listeners a little challenge, Paul.

288

Okay.

289

I like challenges.

290

What is it?

291

Let's try to make sentences about a person named Alex.

292

We can say what Alex likes and doesn't like.

293

Great idea!

294

I'll start.

295

Alex likes to wake up early.

296

Okay.

297

And Alex loves drinking orange juice for breakfast.

298

Good one!

299

Alex doesn't like coffee in the evening Alex loves to cook dinner but he doesn't like washing the dishes.

300

Nobody likes washing the dishes.

301

This is a great exercise.

302

Our listeners can do this too.

303

They can write about a friend, a family member, or even themselves.

304

Yes, it's a very good way to practice.

305

Use likes, enjoy, and enjoy.

306

Use likes, enjoys, loves, and doesn't like.

307

Let's talk about seasons.

308

Do you have a favorite season, Paul?

309

Oh, yes.

310

I love summer.

311

I like the long, sunny days.

312

Summer is great.

313

I like summer, too.

314

But I think I love autumn.

315

I love the colors of the trees.

316

Red, yellow, orange.

317

Autumn is beautiful.

318

So, I love summer.

319

I love autumn.

320

You can also talk about the weather you like.

321

For example, I like sunny days.

322

And I don't like rainy days.

323

Some people like rainy days.

324

They enjoy staying at home with a book and a cup of tea.

325

That's true.

326

I enjoy that too sometimes.

327

So it's okay to like different things.

328

Of course.

329

That's what makes people interesting.

330

Let's summarize one more time the key phrases for our listeners, because this is very important.

331

Good idea.

332

The most common way to say you like something is, I like.

333

So, I like pizza.

334

Or, I like to read.

335

And if you want to say it a little stronger, You can say, I enjoy.

336

And remember to use the verb with ing.

337

I enjoy reading.

338

And for something you like very, very much… You say, I love.

339

342

And for the negative?

343

I don't like.

344

I don't like cold weather.

345

Fantastic.

346

And we also learned how to talk about our dreams for the future.

347

Yes.

348

349

Try to use these phrases this week.

357

Talk to a friend or just practice by yourself.

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.
