Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
2
My name is Marco.
3
My name is Catherine and today we have a very special lesson for you.
4
This is actually the first in a series of lessons about interview skills.
5
That's right.
6
For 10 lessons that you will hear once a week for the next 10 weeks, we're going to take a look at an interview,
7
a job interview, and we're going to take you step by step throughout the whole interview process,
8
as well as teaching you some useful words and phrases
9
that you can use next time you're at a job interview in English.
10
Exactly.
11
So, pay attention.
12
Today is the first day we're going to be entering the office
13
and we're going to learn some things that are important for talking to your future employer or meeting people in an interview.
14
Okay.
15
Come in.
16
Mr. Parsons?
17
Ah, you must be Rebecca.
18
Please do come in.
19
Thank you for making some time to see me, Mr. Parsons.
20
It's a pleasure to meet you finally.
21
The pleasure's all mine, Rebecca.
22
Have a seat, please.
23
Now, would you like any refreshments, tea or coffee?
24
A coffee would be lovely, thank you.
25
Black, no sugar.
26
No problem.
27
Sally, can we have two coffees, please?
28
One, no milk or sugar?
29
Certainly, Mr. Parsons.
30
So, Rebecca, I understand you had a first interview with Ms. Childs last week?
31
Yes, that's correct.
32
She filled me in on the details of the job on the telephone.
33
Great.
34
Well, I'm glad to say she recommended you for a second interview, and here we are.
35
Perhaps we can start by discussing your background and resume details a little.
36
Yes, of course.
37
all right we're back so now let's take a look at language takeaway
38
language takeaway so one of the first things that you're offered
39
when you go to interview at a company is refreshments right would you like any refreshments this sounds complicated
40
but it's actually a very simple word for beverages or drinks
41
Right, so that's why he offered her tea or coffee.
42
Right, so refreshments are cola, coffee, tea.
43
But how do you answer this?
44
If I say, would you like any refreshments, Marco?
45
You can say, yes, water would be fine, thank you.
46
Okay, water would be fine, or I'd like a Coke.
47
Or I'd like a cup of coffee.
48
Cup of coffee, great.
49
Refreshments are drinks.
50
And after that, the characters are talking about the details of the job.
51
So what are these details?
52
How are they different from the job itself?
53
Well, the details of the job are the specific points about the job.
54
So, for example, if she applied for a job as a receptionist, the details of the job would be answering the phones,
55
taking messages, receiving people at the office.
56
Those are the main details of the job.
57
Also, we need someone who works from 9 a .m to 5 p .m., someone who is going to come five days a week.
58
So the details are basically more information about something.
59
Right.
60
The specific information about a general topic.
61
And it's not only related to work.
62
The details can be of many, many things.
63
Right.
64
So if I ask you about your details, Marco, you could maybe tell me your phone number, your address.
65
My full name.
66
Full name or birthday.
67
So these are details.
68
Okay.
69
And well, after they talked about the details of the job, after she explained that she received the details of the job by phone,
70
Mr. Parsons says that she was recommended for a second interview.
71
So, Rebecca is coming to the office for a second time.
72
She already had one interview and the woman she talked to the first time recommended her for a second interview.
73
So the verb here is to recommend.
74
Right.
75
And you can recommend a person, an object, a movie, and that's basically you are saying that this is good and that it's worth seeing,
76
it's worth buying, it's worth interviewing.
77
For example, I really like the movie Avatar.
78
Marco, I recommend you see it.
79
Okay, or I can say Catherine recommended the movie Avatar.
80
Okay, so Catherine liked it, Catherine decided, Catherine suggested or told
81
Marco it would be good.
82
That's right.
83
So, to recommend.
84
And then Mr. Parsons said that they're going to start discussing her background.
85
well background think of the word back
86
that means behind this usually means a person's history at a job
87
or at many jobs or even their educational background information about where they studied that's right
88
so the background maybe a person's background is as you said
89
all their history work study many many different things even maybe seminars
90
or courses that they assisted or even just their personal history.
91
For example, Marco, you speak English like an American.
92
What's your background?
93
Because I know you're not American.
94
Right.
95
I'm from Ecuador.
96
Okay.
97
Background.
98
So that means someone's personal history.
99
That's right.
100
And hand in hand with background, we have a piece of paper that usually you send into an employer to apply for a job.
101
This is the famous resume.
102
Resume.
103
So you're right, Marco.
104
Resume is a document.
105
In this case, it is a document that lists your work history, your working background.
106
And it's a very important part of applying for a job.
107
And usually, you send your resume before you go for the interview
108
so that the employer can look and see is this person qualified?
109
How old are they?
110
What's their work history?
111
And well, very similar to a resume, you may have heard a CV.
112
That's right.
113
A CV is a lot like a resume it stands for curriculum C Vitae V CV
114
and it's more detailed it has more details about a person's academic
115
or study history exactly
116
so a resume I guess
117
it's very similar to a summary a summary of your work
118
background whereas a CV will have more details about your education
119
maybe more details about your work background what did you do objectives etc great
120
so maybe we should listen to today's dialogue one more time
121
and when we come back we'll be talking about some of the interesting phrases we heard in today's dialogue
122
come in mr. Parsons ah
123
you must be Rebecca please do come in thank you for making some time to see me mr. Parsons
124
it's a pleasure to meet you finally the The pleasure's all mine, Rebecca.
125
Have a seat, please.
126
Now, would you like any refreshments, tea or coffee?
127
A coffee would be lovely, thank you.
128
Black, no sugar.
129
No problem.
130
Sally, can we have two coffees, please?
131
One, no milk or sugar.
132
Certainly, Mr. Parsons.
133
So, Rebecca, I understand you had a first interview with Ms. Childs last week?
134
Yes, that's correct.
135
She filled me in on the details of the job on the telephone.
136
Great.
137
Well, I'm glad to say she recommended you for a second interview, and here we are.
138
Perhaps we can start by discussing your background and resume details a little.
139
Yes, of course.
140
Alright, we're back.
141
So now we have three phrases that we're going to take a look at on Fluency Builder.
142
Fluency Builder Alright, so when Rebecca arrived, Mr. Parsons said, Ah, you must be Rebecca.
143
Please do come in.
144
Okay, so you could say please come in.
145
This means please come into my office or come on in.
146
Right.
147
But here, the interesting thing about this is the word do.
148
Right, he's using the verb do and it may sound wrong.
149
It may sound like it's unnecessary because you do have a phrasal verb there already.
150
Come in.
151
So you can just say please come in.
152
But when he says, please do come in, he is emphasizing on her to come in.
153
That's right.
154
So this is a very polite way to invite someone inside.
155
You can also say, please do have a seat.
156
All right.
157
So again, you are emphasizing in a very polite way to please sit down.
158
That's right.
159
Please do come in.
160
So there are many other ways that you can use it.
161
So for example, if you really want your friend to call you sometime next time you're in town,
162
You say, please do call me next time you're in town.
163
Please do.
164
You could even say it afterwards, simply please do for emphasis.
165
Right.
166
So if I say, hey, Catherine, I'm going to call you next time I'm in Shanghai.
167
Please do.
168
There you go.
169
So that means please do call.
170
All right.
171
So please do come in.
172
Please do call.
173
All right.
174
After that, Rebecca says, thank you for making some time to see me, Mr. Parsons.
175
So she is happy that Mr. Parsons is available and wants to talk to her.
176
This is a very common phrase that means, thank you so much for interviewing me.
177
Right.
178
So I guess it's kind of a way of saying, look, I know that you're a busy person and that you don't have very much time.
179
So thank you for making some time to see me.
180
Right.
181
So this isn't just about interviews.
182
You could say this phrase for meeting with a client or meeting with even a friend.
183
You could say, hey, Marco, I know you were really busy last week, but thank you so much for making some time to see me.
184
Right.
185
So, you're just basically saying, I understand that you're very busy, but I appreciate that you made some time to see me.
186
All right.
187
And, well, she said, you know what?
188
It's a pleasure to meet you.
189
But Mr. Parsons replied by saying, the pleasure is all mine.
190
All right.
191
Another very, very polite phrase that you hear a lot.
192
Maybe some of you have heard the phrase, it's a pleasure to meet you before.
193
But the response, the answer is very interesting.
194
The pleasure is all mine.
195
Right.
196
So this stands for the pleasure is all mine.
197
Right.
198
And I guess it's the most appropriate response if somebody says it's a pleasure to meet you.
199
Because if you don't say this, I think you may sound a little bit arrogant.
200
Well, you could say it's a pleasure to meet you too.
201
Right.
202
But this is another way to answer the person because you don't always want to say it's a pleasure to meet you.
203
It's a pleasure to meet you too.
204
Right.
205
This is a way to say something different and to say, well, the pleasure is all mine.
206
Right.
207
But it's very important to answer something, right?
208
Because if I say it's a pleasure to meet you and you say, thank you.
209
It's like, no, that is a little bit arrogant.
210
So you have to say something.
211
Right.
212
And we recommend that you say this or you just say the same thing back.
213
So it's nice to meet you.
214
Oh, it's nice to meet you, too.
215
Right.
216
Okay.
217
And our last phrase is actually when they were talking about,
218
again, the details of the job and she said that Ms. Childs filled her in on the details.
219
She said, she filled me in on the details of the job on the telephone.
220
Okay, so this is an interesting verb, to fill in, or in this case, to fill someone in, to fill me in, to fill you in.
221
This basically means to tell someone about something.
222
Or if I know a little bit of information but not a lot of information about something,
223
this way you're telling me more so I understand it better.
224
Right, I'm giving you all the information.
225
So maybe there is somebody is talking about a rumor in the office and you go and you say, hey, fill me in on the gossip.
226
All right.
227
So you want to know all about it.
228
Right.
229
Or, for example, Marco, we're having a party next Sunday, but I'll have to fill you in on the details around Friday.
230
OK, because you don't have all the information right now.
231
Yeah, I don't know yet what time or where.
232
OK, so to fill someone in is to give them all the information or to give them more information.
233
Fill me in.
234
Fill me in.
235
All right.
236
Why don't we take a look at our dialogue for the last time, and we'll be back in a little bit.
237
Come in.
238
Mr. Parsons?
239
Ah, you must be Rebecca.
240
Please do come in.
241
Thank you for making some time to see me, Mr. Parsons.
242
It's a pleasure to meet you finally.
243
The pleasure's all mine, Rebecca.
244
Have a seat, please.
245
Now, would you like any refreshments, tea or coffee?
246
A coffee would be lovely, thank you.
247
Black, no sugar.
248
No problem.
249
Sally, can we have two coffees, please?
250
One, no milk or sugar.
251
Certainly, Mr. Parsons.
252
So, Rebecca, I understand you had a first interview with Ms. Childs last week?
253
Yes, that's correct.
254
She filled me in on the details of the job on the telephone.
255
Great.
256
Well, I'm glad to say she recommended you for a second interview, and here we are.
257
Perhaps we can start by discussing your background and resume details a little.
258
Yes, of course.
259
Alright, so as we mentioned, this is the first part of a 10 -part series of the interview series.
260
And this is going to be very, very helpful.
261
As you saw in this first part,
262
we're just taking a look at some basic vocab and phrases that you can use when you're just introducing yourself.
263
You're just getting started in the interview.
264
So what we're going to be looking at later on is talking about yourself, answering questions.
265
But many people don't realize
266
that one of the most important parts of the interview is the very, very beginning
267
because some psychologists say that we make a decision about a person or how we like a person within the first,
268
I think, what, 30 seconds of talking to them.
269
Yeah.
270
So it's important that you speak confidently and that you say some of these English phrases comfortably.
271
You know, it's a pleasure to meet you.
272
Oh, the pleasure is mine.
273
These little things will really help you.
274
That's right.
275
And I think as talking about introductions and how this woman arrived to the office,
276
I think one of the key things that we would recommend is to look
277
that person in the eye and give a firm handshake.
278
I don't know how many people actually realize how important this is.
279
It's very, very important because as an interviewer, the person or the manager who's interviewing you, I think you can tell a lot from a person
280
if somebody gives you a very flimsy handshake or doesn't look you in the eye.
281
That's right.
282
Well, I think in many ways people think, oh, this person is not confident or this person is uncomfortable or this person is hiding something.
283
And so it's important really to be yourself, to smile, to look at a person in the eyes,
284
especially in a lot of like American companies or Canadian companies.
285
I know in other parts of the world smiling with a stranger is unusual
286
or Or maybe unacceptable but in America it means I'm confident here.
287
I am here's my name nice to meet you
288
It's a very important part of an introduction.
289
Yes, very true
290
So we actually want to hear what you think
291
How important for you is a handshake a firm a firm handshake?
292
Looking someone in the eye or how do interviews work in your country?
293
Let us know and we hope that this is helpful for you in the future
294
if you're looking for jobs or you just want to practice your English.
295
That's right.
296
So if you have any other questions or doubts, we're at EnglishPod .com.
297
We'll see everyone there.

365

367

368
So, Rebecca, I understand you had a first interview with Ms. Childs last week?
369
Yes, that's correct.
370
She filled me in on the details of the job on the telephone.
371
Great.
372
Well, I'm glad to say she recommended you for a second interview, and here we are.
373
Perhaps we can start by discussing your background and resume details a little.
374
Yes, of course.
375
Alright, we're back.
376
So now let's take a look at Language Takeaway.
377
Language Takeaway So one of the first things that you're offered when you go to interview at a company is refreshments.
378
Right.
379
Would you like any refreshments?
380
This sounds complicated, but it's actually a very simple word for beverages or drinks.
381
Right.
382
So that's why he offered her tea or coffee.
383
Right.
384
So refreshments are cola, coffee, tea.
385
But how do you answer this?
386
If I say, would you like any refreshments, Marco?
387
You can say, yes, water would be fine.
388
Thank you.
389
Okay, water would be fine.
390
Or I'd like a Coke.
391
Or I'd like a cup of coffee.
392
Cup of coffee.
393
Great.
394
Refreshments are drinks.
395
And after that, the characters are talking about the details of the job.
396
So what are these details?
397
How are they different from the job itself?
398
Well, the details of the job are the specific points about the job.
399
So, for example, if she applied for a job as a receptionist, the details of the job would be answering the phones,
400
taking messages, receiving people at the office.
401
Those are the main details of the job.
402
Also, we need someone who works from 9 a .m to 5 p .m., someone who is going to come five days a week.
403
So the details are basically more information about something right the specific information about a general topic
404
and it's not only related to work
405
The details can be of many many things right?
406
So if I ask you about your details
407
Marco, you could maybe tell me your phone number your address my full name for full name or birthday
408
So these are details, okay?
409
And well after they talked about the details of the jump
410
After she explained that she received the details of the job by phone,
411
Mr. Parson said that she was recommended for a second interview.
412
So Rebecca is coming to the office for a second time.
413
She already had one interview and the woman she talked to the first time recommended her for a second interview.
414
So the verb here is to recommend.
415
Right.
416
And you can recommend a person, an object, a movie.
417
And that's basically you are saying that this.. is good and
418
that it's worth seeing it's worth buying it's worth interviewing for example
419
i really like the movie avatar marco i recommend you see it okay or i can say catherine recommended
420
the movie avatar okay so catherine liked it catherine decided catherine suggested
421
or told marco it would be good that's right so to recommend
422
and then mr parsons said
423
that they're gonna start discussing her background well background think of the word back
424
that means behind this usually means a person's history at a job
425
or at many jobs or even their educational background information about where they studied that's right
426
so the background maybe a person's background is as you said
427
all their history work study many many different things even maybe seminars
428
or courses that they assisted or even just their personal history for example
429
Marco you speak English like an American what's your background
430
because I know you're not American right I'm from Ecuador okay background
431
so that means someone's personal history that's right
432
and hand -in -hand with background we have a piece of paper
433
that usually you send into an employer to apply for a job this is the famous resume resume so you're right
434
Marco resume is a document in this case it is a document
435
that lists your work history your working background
436
and it's a very important part of applying for a job
437
and usually you send your resume before you go for the interview
438
so that the employer can look
439
and see is this person qualified how old are they what's their work history
440
and well very similar to a resume you may have heard a CV
441
that's right a CV is a lot like a resume it stands for curriculum C Vitae V CV
442
and it's more detailed it has more details about a person's academic
443
or study history exactly
444
so a resume I guess
445
it's very similar to a summary a summary of your work
446
background whereas a CV will have more details about your education
447
maybe more details about your work background what did you do objectives etc great
448
so maybe we should listen to today's dialogue one more time
449
and when we come back we'll be talking about some of the interesting phrases we heard in today's dialogue.
450
Come in.
451
Mr. Parsons?
452
Ah, you must be Rebecca.
453
Please do come in.
454
Thank you for making some time to see me, Mr. Parsons.
455
It's a pleasure to meet you finally.
456
The pleasure is all mine, Rebecca.
457
Have a seat, please.
458
Now, would you like any refreshments, tea or coffee?
459
A coffee would be lovely, thank you.
460
Black, no sugar.
461
No problem.
462
Sally, can we have two coffees, please?
463
One, no milk or sugar.
464
Certainly, Mr. Parsons.
465
So, Rebecca, I understand you had a first interview with Ms. Childs last week?
466
Yes, that's correct.
467
She filled me in on the details of the job on the telephone.
468
Great.
469
Well, I'm glad to say she recommended you for a second interview, and here we are.
470
Perhaps we can start by discussing your background and resume details a little.
471
Yes, of course.
472
Alright, we're back.
473
So now we have three phrases that we're going to take a look at on Fluency Builder.
474
Fluency Builder Alright, so when Rebecca arrived, Mr. Parsons said, Ah, you must be Rebecca.
475
Please do come in.
476
Okay, so you could say please come in.
477
This means please come into my office or come on in.
478
But here, the interesting thing about this is the word do.
479
Right, he's using the verb do and it may sound wrong.
480
It may sound like it's unnecessary because you do have a phrasal verb there already.
481
Come in.
482
So you can just say please come in.
483
But when he says, please do come in, he is emphasizing on her to come in.
484
That's right.
485
So this is a very polite way to invite someone inside.
486
You can also say, please do have a seat.
487
All right.
488
So again, you are emphasizing in a very polite way to please sit down.
489
That's right.
490
Please do come in.
491
So there are many other ways that you can use it.
492
So for example, if you really want your friend to call you sometime next time you're in town,
493
You say, please do call me next time you're in town.
494
Please do.
495
You could even say it afterwards, simply please do for emphasis.
496
Right.
497
So if I say, hey, Catherine, I'm going to call you next time I'm in Shanghai.
498
Please do.
499
There you go.
500
So that means please do call.
501
All right.
502
So please do come in.
503
Please do call.
504
All right.
505
After that, Rebecca says, thank you for making some time to see me, Mr. Parsons.
506
So she is happy that Mr. Parsons is available and wants to talk to her.
507
This is a very common phrase that means thank you so much for interviewing me.
508
Right.
509
So I guess it's kind of a way of saying, look, I know that you're a busy person and that you don't have very much time.
510
So thank you for making some time to see me.
511
Right.
512
So this isn't just about interviews.
513
You could say this phrase for meeting with a client or meeting with even a friend.
514
You could say, hey, Marco, I know you were really busy last week, but thank you so much for making some time to see me.
515
Right.
516
So it's just basically saying, I understand that you're very busy, but I appreciate that you made some time to see me.
517
All right.
518
And well, she said, you know what?
519
It's a pleasure to meet you.
520
But Mr. Parsons replied by saying, the pleasure is all mine.
521
All right.
522
Another very, very polite phrase that you hear a lot.
523
Maybe some of you have heard the phrase, it's a pleasure to meet you before, but the response, the answer is very interesting.
524
The pleasure is all mine.
525
So this stands for the pleasure is all mine.
526
Right.
527
And I guess it's the most appropriate response if somebody says it's a pleasure to meet you.
528
Because if you don't say this, I think you may sound a little bit arrogant.
529
Well, you could say it's a pleasure to meet you too.
530
Right.
531
But this is another way to answer the person because you don't always want to say it's a pleasure to meet you.
532
It's a pleasure to meet you too.
533
Right.
534
This is a way to say something different and to say, well, the pleasure is all mine.
535
Right.
536
But it's very important to answer something, right?
537
Because if I say it's a pleasure to meet you and you say thank you, it's like.
538
No, that is a little bit arrogant.
539
So you have to say something.
540
Right.
541
And we recommend that you say this or you just say the same thing back.
542
So it's nice to meet you.
543
Oh, it's nice to meet you too.
544
Right.
545
Okay.
546
And our last phrase is actually when they were talking about, again, the details of the job.
547
And she said that
548
Miss Childs filled her in on the details.
549
She said, she filled me in on the details of the job on the telephone.
550
Okay.
551
So this is an interesting verb, to fill in.
552
Or in this case, to fill someone in, to fill me in, to fill you in.
553
This basically means to tell someone about something.
554
Right.
555
Or if I know a little bit of information, but not a lot of information about something,
556
this way you're telling me more so I understand it better.
557
Right.
558
I'm giving you all the information.
559
So maybe there is somebody is talking about a rumor in the office and you go and you say, hey, fill me in on the gossip.
560
All right.
561
So you want to know all about it.
562
Right.
563
Or, for example, Marco, we're having a party next Sunday, but I'll have to fill you in on the details around Friday.
564
OK, because you don't have all the information right now.
565
Yeah, I don't know yet what time or where.
566
Okay, so to fill someone in is to give them all the information or to give them more information.
567
Fill me in.
568
Fill me in.
569
All right, why don't we take a look at our dialogue for the last time and we'll be back in a little bit.
570
Come in.
571
Mr. Parsons?
572
Ah, you must be Rebecca.
573
Please do come in.
574
Thank you for making some time to see me, Mr. Parsons.
575
It's a pleasure to meet you finally.
576
The pleasure's all mine, Rebecca.
577
Have a seat, please.
578
Now, would you like any refreshments, tea, or coffee?
579
A coffee would be lovely, thank you.
580
Black, no sugar.
581
No problem.
582
Sally, can we have two coffees, please?
583
One, no milk or sugar?
584
Certainly, Mr. Parsons.
585
So, Rebecca, I understand you had a first interview with Ms. Childs last week?
586
Yes, that's correct.
587
She filled me in on the details of the job on the telephone.
588
Great.
589
Well, I'm glad to say she recommended you for a second interview, and here we are.
590
Perhaps we can start by discussing your background and resume details a little.
591
Yes, of course.
592
Alright, so as we mentioned, this is the first part of a 10 -part series of the interview series.
593
And this is going to be very, very helpful.
594
As you saw in this first part,
595
we're just taking a look at some basic vocab and phrases that you can use when you're just introducing yourself.
596
You're just getting started in the interview.
597
So what we're going to be looking at later on is talking about yourself, answering questions.
598
But many people don't realize
599
that one of the most important parts of the interview is the very, very beginning
600
because some psychologists say that we make a decision about a person or how we like a person within the first,
601
I think, what, 30 seconds of talking to them?
602
Yeah.
603
So it's important that you speak confidently and that you say some of these English phrases.
604
comfortably you know it's a pleasure to meet you oh
605
it's the pleasure is mine these little things will really help you that's right
606
and i think as talking about introductions
607
and how this woman arrived to the office i think one of the key things
608
that we would recommend is to look that person in the eye
609
and give a firm handshake right i don't know how many people actually realize how important this is.
610
It's very, very important because as an interviewer, the person or the manager who's interviewing you, I think you can tell a lot from a person
611
if somebody gives you a very flimsy handshake or doesn't look you in the eye.
612
That's right.
613
Well, I think in many ways people think, oh, this person is not confident or this person is uncomfortable or this person is hiding something.
614
And so it's important really to be yourself, to smile, to look at a person in the eyes,
615
especially in a lot of like American companies or Canadian companies.
616
I know in other parts of the world, smiling with a stranger is unusual or maybe unacceptable.
617
But in America, it means I'm confident.
618
Here I am.
619
Here's my name.
620
Nice to meet you.
621
It's a very important part of an introduction.
622
Yes, very true.
623
So we actually want to hear what you think.
624
How important for you is a handshake, a firm handshake like looking someone in the eye, or how do interviews work in your country?
625
Let us know, and we hope that this is helpful for you in the future
626
if you're looking for jobs or you just want to practice your English.
627
That's right.
628

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
