1
Hey, Georgie.
2
Hi.
3
Hi.
4
What's the matter?
5
My mother caught me.
6
Caught you?
7
Doing what?
8
You know.
9
I was alone.
10
You mean?
11
She caught you? Where?
12
I stopped by the house to drop the car off and I went inside for a few minutes.
13
Nobody was there.
14
They're supposed to be working.
15
My mother had a glamour magazine.
16
I started leaving for it.
17
Glamour?
18
So one thing led to another.
19
So what did she do?
20
First she screams, George, what are you doing?
21
My God!
22
Then it looked like she was gonna faint.
23
She started clutching the wall, trying to hang on to it.
24
I didn't know whether to try and keep her from falling or zip up.
25
What did you do?
26
I zipped up. So she fell?
27
Yeah.
28
Well, I couldn't run over there the way I was.
29
No, I guess you couldn't.
30
I wouldn't think so.
31
So she fell, and then she starts screaming, My back!
32
My back!
33
So I picked her up, I took her to the hospital.
34
Oh.
35
How is she?
36
She's in traction.
37
Sorry.
38
It's not funny, Elaine.
39
I know, I'm fine.
40
Her back went out.
41
She's got to be there for a couple of days.
42
All she said on the way over in the car was, Why, George?
43
Why?
44
I said, because it's there.
45
Glamour?
46
I'll tell you this, though.
47
I am never doing that again.
48
What?
49
You mean in your mother's house or all together?
50
All together.
51
Oh, give me a break.
52
Right.
53
You don't think I can?
54
No chance.
55
You think you could?
56
Well, I know I could hold out longer than you.
57
Care to make it interesting?
58
Sure.
59
How much?
60
$100.
61
You're on.
62
Wait a second.
63
Wait a second.
64
Count me in on this.
65
You?
66
Yeah.
67
You'll be out before we get the check.
68
I want to be in on this, too.
69
Oh, no. Oh, no. Why?
70
Oh, that oranges.
71
What?
72
Why?
73
Why?
74
Because you're a woman. So what?
75
It's easier for a woman not to do it than a man.
76
We have to do it.
77
It's part of our lifestyle.
78
It's like, uh, shaving.
79
Oh, that is such a baloney.
80
I shave my legs.
81
Not every day.
82
All right, look, you want to be in?
83
Yeah.
84
You got to give us odds.
85
At least two to one.
86
You got to put up $200.
87
No, a thousand.
88
Yeah, I'll put up $150.
89
All right, you're in for $150.
90
Okay, $150.
91
All right, now, how are we going to monitor this thing?
92
Well, obviously, we all know each other very well.
93
I'm sure we'll all feel comfortable within the confines of the honor system.
94
All right.
95
Come on.
96
Get it.
97
Yeah!

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.
