Đang tạo bài học...
1
Hello! I've come about the bike you're selling online.
2
Ah, you must be Hannah. Come in, it's just here.
3
Thanks. Oh, it looks even nicer than in the photos.
4
It's in good condition. I've looked after it carefully.
5
How long have you had it?
6
About five years, but I haven't used it much recently.
7
Why are you selling it, if you don't mind me asking?
8
My knees aren't what they used to be, I'm afraid.
9
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
10
Has it ever had any problems?
11
Only a flat tyre once, and I fixed it straight away.
12
Would you mind if I took it for a quick ride?
13
Not at all. Go up to the end of the road and back.
14
The brakes feel good, and the gears are smooth.
15
I had it serviced last spring, so it should be fine.
16
You're asking a hundred and twenty pounds, aren't you?
17
That's right. It cost over four hundred when it was new.
18
Would you accept a hundred? That's what I've got with me.
19
Hmm. Let's meet in the middle and say a hundred and ten.
20
That sounds fair. It's a deal!
21
Here, take the lock as well. I don't need it any more.
22
That's really kind of you. Thank you.
23
Enjoy it, and be careful on the roads.
24
I will. I'm going to cycle to work from now on.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
