128
On the way, a young man waved to me.
129
I stopped, and he asked me for a lift.
130
As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French, and he replied in the same language.

Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all.
132
Neither of us spoke during the journey.

153
Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon
154
This time she will be a girl of 17 In the play she must appear in a bright red dress
155
and long black stockings Last year,
156
in another play she had to wear short socks and a bright orange-coloured dress

As I was looking for it, the innkeeper came in.
164
Did you have a good meal? he asked.
165
Yes, thank you, I answered.
166
But I can't pay the bill.
167
I haven't got my bag.
168
The innkeeper smiled and immediately went out.
169
In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me I'm very sorry,
170
he said My dog had taken it into the garden He often does this Passage 19 Sold Out
171
The play may begin at any moment, I said It may have begun already,
172
Susan answered I hurried to the ticket office May I have two tickets please,
173
I asked I'm sorry, we've sold out, the girl said What a pity,
174
Susan exclaimed Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office Can I return these two tickets,
175
he asked Certainly, the girl said I went back to the ticket office at once Could I have those two tickets please?
176
I asked Certainly, the girl said But they are for next Wednesday's performance Do you still want them?

Passage 20 One man in a boat Fishing is my favourite sport I often fish for hours without catching anything
179
But this does not worry me Some fishermen are unlucky Instead of catching fish,
180
they catch old boots and rubbish I am even less lucky I never catch anything,
181
not even old boots After having spent whole mornings on the river I always go home with an empty bag.
182
You must give up fishing, my friends say.
183
It's a waste of time.
184
But they don't realise one important thing.
185
I'm not interested in fishing.
186
I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all.
187
Passage 21 Mad or not?
188
Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day
189
The airport was built during the war but for some reason it could not be used then Last year, however, it came into use
190
Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise
191
I am one of the few people left
192
Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a
193
passing plane I have been offered a large sum of money to go away But I am determined to stay here
194
Everybody says I must be mad And they are probably right Passage 22 A glass envelope
195
My daughter Jane never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland
196
Last year we were travelling across the Channel
197
and Jane put a piece of paper with her name
198
and address on it into a bottle She threw the bottle into the sea
199
She never thought of it again But ten months later She received a letter from a girl in Holland
200
Both girls write to each other regularly now However,
201
they have decided to use the post office Letters will cost a little more But they will certainly travel faster
202
Passage 23 A new house I had a letter from my sister yesterday She lives in Nigeria
203
In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year If she comes,
204
she will get a surprise We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country
205
Work on it had begun before my sister left.
206
The house was completed five months ago.
207
In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us.
208
The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden.
209
It is a very modern house so it looks strange to some people.
210
It must be the only modern house in the district.
211
Passage 24.
212
It could be worse.
213
I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down.
214
I had just lost 50 pounds and I felt very upset.
215
I left the money in my room, I said, and it's not there now.
216
The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing.
217
Everyone's losing money these days, he said.
218
He started to complain about this wicked world, but was interrupted by a knock at the door.
219
A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk.
220
It contained 50 pounds.
221
I found this outside this gentleman's room, she said.
222
Well, I said to the manager, there is still some honesty in this world.
223
Passage 25.
224
Do the English speak English?
225
I arrived in London at last.
226
The railway station was big, black and dark.
227
I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter.
228
I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well.
229
The porter, however, could not understand me.
230
I repeated my question several times, and at last he understood.
231
He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly.
232
I am a foreigner, I said
233
Then he spoke slowly But I could not understand him My teacher never spoke English like that
234
The porter and I looked at each other and smiled Then he said something and I understood it You'll soon learn English,
235
he said I wonder, in England each man speaks a different language.
236
The English understand each other, but I don't understand them. Do they speak English?
237
Passage 26 The Best Art Critics I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures.
238
Many people pretend that they understand modern art.
239
They always tell you what a picture is about.
240
Of course, many pictures are not about anything.
241
They are just pretty patterns.
242
We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material.
243
I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else They notice more
244
My sister is only seven But she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not
245
She came into my room yesterday What are you doing? she asked I'm hanging this picture on the wall,
246
I answered It's a new one Do you like it?
247
She looked at it critically for a moment It's all right, she said But isn't it upside down?
248
I looked at it again She was right It was Passage 27 A wet night
249
Late in the afternoon the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field.
250
As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire.
251
They were all hungry and the food smelled good.
252
After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang songs by the camp fire.
253
But But sometime later, it began to rain.
254
The boys felt tired, so they put out the fire and crept into their tent.
255
Their sleeping bags were warm and comfortable, so they all slept soundly.
256
In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began shouting.
257
The tent was full of water.
258
They all leapt out of their sleeping bags and hurried outside.
259
It was raining heavily, and they found that a stream had formed in the field.
260
The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent.
261
Passage 28.
262
No parking.
263
Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.
264
He has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with motorists.
265
When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate.
266
Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once
267
Jasper has put up no parking signs outside his gate But these have not had any effect
268
Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate
269
It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen I asked him what it was
270
and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon.
271
Jasper hopes that she will turn motorists to stone but none of them has been turned to stone yet.
272
Passage 29.
273
Taxi.
274
Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service.
275
The taxi is a small Swiss aeroplane called a Pilatus Porter This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers
276
The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere On snow,
277
water, or even on a ploughed field
278
Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains Since then,
279
Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places
280
Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats
281
and on another occasion he landed in a deserted car park
282
Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman
283
The man wanted to fly to Rockwall a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean
284
but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous Passage 30 Football or polo
285
The whale is a small river that cuts across the park near my home.
286
I like sitting by the whale on fine afternoons.
287
It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual.
288
Some children were playing games on the bank, and there were some people rowing on the river.
289
Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard, and it went towards a passing boat.
290
Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat but he did not hear them.
291
The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water.
292
I turned to look at the children but there weren't any in sight.
293
They had all run away.
294
The man laughed when he realised what had happened.
295
He called out to the children and threw the ball back to the bank.
296
Passage 31, success story.
297
Yesterday afternoon, Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man.
298
Frank is now the head of a very large business company, but as a boy, he used to work in a small shop.
299
It was his job to repair bicycles, and at that time he used to work 14 hours a day.
300
He saved money for years, and in 1938 he bought a small workshop of his own.
301
During the war, Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes.
302
At that time he had two helpers.
303
By the end of the war, the small workshop had become a large factory which employed 728 people
304
Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years
305
and the long road to success He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in
306
She wanted him to repair their son's bicycle Passage 32.
307
Shopping made easy.
308
People are not so honest as they once were.
309
The temptation to steal is greater than ever before, especially in large shops.
310
A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings.
311
One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her.
312
The woman first bought a few small articles.
313
After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop
314
and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible
315
Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying When she was arrested,
316
the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter The girl gave her mother a free dress once a week.
317
Passage 33 Out of the Darkness Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.
318
One afternoon, she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm.
319
Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea
320
Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water During that time,
321
she covered a distance of eight miles Early next morning,
322
she saw a light ahead She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs
323
On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen.
324
That was all she remembered.
325
When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
326
Passage 34.
327
Quick work.
328
Ted Robinson has been worried all the week.
329
Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police In the letter he was asked to call at the station
330
Ted wondered why he was wanted by the police
331
But he went to the station yesterday
332
And now he is not worried anymore At the station he was told by a smiling policeman
333
That his bicycle had been found Five days ago,
334
the policeman told him the bicycle was picked up in a small village 400 miles away.
335
It is now being sent to his home by train.
336
Ted was most surprised when he heard the news.
337
He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found.
338
It was stolen 20 years ago, when Ted was a boy of 15.
339
Passage 35 5.
340
Stop Thief Roy Trenton used to drive a taxi.
341
A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver, and he has not regretted it.
342
He is finding his new work far more exciting.
343
When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car.
344
One of them was carrying a bag full of money.
345
Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves.
346
The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag.
347
As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it.
348
While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police.
349
The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize.
350
Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.

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.
