Hello?
2
Hi, my name is Sophia.
3
I'm a student at Brandeis University and I want to rent an apartment.
4
I saw your listing for an apartment on Oak Street.
5
Hi Sophia, I'm Cynthia the landlord.
6
Did you want to schedule a viewing?
7
Yes, that's right.
8
The earliest appointment to view the apartment is 1 p.m tomorrow.
9
Great!
10
I'll take that appointment.
11
Thank you.
12
Okay, I'll see you then.
13
Hi Sophia, nice to meet you.
14
Come in.
15
Hi, nice to meet you too.
16
Thank you.
17
Wow, this is very nice and clean.
18
Yes, I always have it cleaned when a tenant moves out.
19
Besides, the apartment was recently renovated.
20
Let me show you around.
21
That would be great, thank you.
22
Like the listing said, it's a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment.
23
This is the bedroom.
24
It is fully furnished with a bed,
25
wardrobe, and two bedside tables.
26
There is also a desk for study and a bookshelf.
27
An LCD TV and Wi-Fi connection.
28
I love this room.
29
It looks really cozy and stylish.
30
Is there air conditioning?
31
No, there isn't, but this building stays pretty cool when it's hot outside.
32
Is it okay if I hang some things on the walls?
33
Yes, but please don't leave any holes in the walls.
34
I don't want you to make any major changes to the apartment.
35
What if something in the apartment stops working or breaks?
36
You can call me immediately and I will come over to look at it.
37
I live right down the street.
38
I will pay for any ongoing repairs.
39
Well, all of that sounds perfect.
40
The bathroom is attached to the bedroom.
41
It's over here.
42
The toilet and shower are a little older,
43
but they are in excellent condition.
44
Yes, they look almost new.
45
Is there a washer and dryer?
46
There's no washing machine or dryer in the apartment.
47
But there's a laundromat in the basement.
48
You will have to get a laundry card from a machine down there.
49
You can load some money onto it to do your laundry.
50
I see.
51
It's perfectly fine.
52
Let me show you now the kitchen.
53
It is a fully equipped kitchen.
54
It has a stovetop and oven, microwave and refrigerator.
55
The oven and stovetop use gas.
56
Will I be responsible for paying the gas bill?
57
Yes, but it won't be very much.
58
If you cook one meal a day,
59
it should be about $30 a month.
60
What about the heat?
61
Is that gas too?
62
No. The heat runs on electricity.
63
Will I need to pay that bill?
64
No, the heat is included in the rent.
65
So is the water and the trash and snow removal.
66
That sounds like a good deal.
67
Is there a dishwasher in the kitchen too?
68
There is.
69
It's right here.
70
Awesome!
71
Could I have guests stay overnight?
72
You can have one guest stay overnight,
73
but they cannot stay multiple nights.
74
What about parties?
75
Can I have small parties once in a while?
76
Yes, you can.
77
But please do not drink alcohol at the party.
78
A student who stayed here caused damage to the apartment after drinking with some friends.
79
I'm only 18, so I don't drink yet.
80
That shouldn't be a problem.
81
I'm glad to hear that.
82
How much is the rent for this place?
83
$800 a month.
84
And how can I pay the rent?
85
You can write me a check at the beginning of each month.
86
I'll ask you to pay a deposit for the first of last month's rent, which would be $1,600.
87
Any damages to the apartment will come out of the deposit.
88
If there aren't any damages,
89
then you won't be charged,
90
and the deposit will go towards paying your last month's rent.
91
How long is the lease?
92
One year.
93
After that, you can sign a lease for another year.
94
Is the apartment close to public transportation?
95
Yes, the bus stop is just 150 feet away.
96
It's a five-minute walk from this building.
97
You can also get easily to the grocery store from here.
98
Perfect!
99
What are the neighbors like?
100
I hope they're not noisy because I need to study a lot.
101
No, they're not, so you shouldn't worry about that.
102
They are very friendly and sociable,
103
and this street is pretty quiet.
104
There's not much noise.
105
Would you like to rent the apartment?
106
I have the lease right here.
107
If you don't sign now,
108
there are other students who might take this apartment by tomorrow.
109
Places in this area get snapped up fast.
110
Yes, I will sign right now.
111
When can I move in?
112
If you want, you could move in tomorrow.
113
Perfect, thank you.
114
Who should I make the checkout to?
115
Cynthia Bowers Welcome to the building.
116
I'm sure you'll love it here.
117
low.

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.
