Hi.
5
I'm in a new shopping centre with some guys who've been finding out a bit more about the place.
6
Kerry.
7
Yeah, first let me tell you where it is.
8
You know you'd expect to drive for miles out into the countryside to a place among green fields.
9
When they build them in the country, everyone has to get there by car, but at least then the parking's easy.
10
This new one's taken over some abandoned industrial land on the outskirts of the city and it's pulling in young people, families, everyone, so there's a really great atmosphere.
11
So why do you think they went for this particular site, Salim?
12
Well, apparently they were offered a place in the country and the plans were approved, but they chose this place for its convenient access from the station and the motorway.
13
The locals did start kicking up a fuss about traffic noise
14
and fumes and that sort of thing
15
So it took quite a long time to get things started
16
But they managed to get permission in the end But why do you think there are such masses of people here now?
17
What's behind its popularity?
18
Well, you see, people don't just come to shop They come to spend the
19
day There are tons of good stores with branches here So even though you end up spending quite a bit In general,
20
the stuff's good quality and there's something here for everyone.
21
It caters for every taste, including people like myself, who'd rather not shop at all, but would prefer to take in a film or hit the gym instead.
22
So, you see lots of families having fun here too, without having to hang around with each other the whole time.
23
Dad goes off to look at sports equipment or electronics, while Mum hunts for clothes, you know, that sort of thing.
24
From where I'm standing now I can see trees and fountains.
25
There are cafes, music for chilling out and even a free fashion show.
26
It's a bit of a change from your normal high street
27
isn't it yeah it's incredible isn't it you know these places
28
are pretty safe i mean i know some rough lads come here
29
but with all the security staff around there's never any trouble
30
but what i really like is
31
that the place feels a bit like a palace you know
32
i can spend all day here with my friends surrounded by
33
all this expensive stuff without it costing me a penny people treat you pretty well
34
and you don't have to spend anything unless you want to.
35
We're always hearing about families having arguments when they go shopping.
36
Why's that?
37
Apparently it's because they're spending the day together and their tastes in how to spend their free time are different.
38
So they get irritable with each other and this breaks down into arguments about which shops to go to and so on.
39
And this place is organised to cater for different tastes, isn't it?
40
Well, yeah, what they've done is organised the shops, cafes and other places, so there's a wide range of quite different shops in each section.
41
This means that families can still be fairly close to each other, even though they're up to different things.
42
You know, Mum can wander into the clothes shop if that's what she wants to do, while Dad can pop into the computer shop next door, and the kids can go to a game shop or a music shop.
43
They're all nearby and they can find each other easily.
44
And what else have they done, Salim?
45
Well, they've come up with ways of making shopping less tiring.
46
You know, a day's shopping wears people out.
47
They thought of hiring out small electrically driven cars to shoppers to cut down the amount they walk.
48
They came up against problems of space.
49
There just wasn't enough room for them all.
50
So they also thought about those moving walkways you see at airports, and that would have involved redesigning everything.
51
What they actually came up with is a new technology which sends everything you've bought to your exit point
52
and you just pick it up there.
53
Awesome.
54
Thanks Kerry and Salim.
55
Cheers.

Советы для практики

Для эффективного shadowing (или shadowspeak) в этом видео обратите внимание на естественный темп разговора — он средний, с паузами для эмоциональных отступлений. Сначала прослушайте фрагмент длиной 5-7 секунд, затем повторите его сразу, копируя интонацию и ударения. Особое внимание уделите фразам с сокращениями, например: "it's incredible isn't it" или "you know". Это поможет вам освоить разговорный стиль.

Используйте этот материал как shadowing site для тренировки: запишите себя на телефоне, сравните с оригиналом и корректируйте произношение. Памятите, shadowspeaks — это не просто повторение, а встраивание себя в диалог, что помогает улучшить не только произношение, но и реакцию. Пracтикуйте по 10-15 минут в день, и вы заметите прогресс через неделю!

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.
