Good morning, Helen Ward speaking.
2
Hi Helen, it's Tom from Northgate. Is now a good time?
3
Oh, hi Tom! Sure, I've got five minutes.
4
Great. Well... I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
5
Something's come up, and I can't make Thursday's meeting.
6
Thursday? Seriously? We've had that booked for weeks!
7
I know, and I'm really sorry about the short notice.
8
Our director has called an urgent meeting with the investors.
9
Hmm. That's a bit frustrating, to be honest.
10
I've already moved two other meetings for this.
11
I completely understand, and I'll make it up to you.
12
Would Friday afternoon work for you instead?
13
No, I'm afraid I'm in Paris all day on Friday.
14
Ah, okay. What about early next week, then?
15
Monday's impossible, and Tuesday is completely packed.
16
Oh dear. I really don't want to push it back too far.
17
Neither do I. We need to sign off on this soon.
18
Wait, actually... how early do you start in the mornings?
19
Pretty early! I'm usually at my desk by eight.
20
Then how about Wednesday at eight thirty, before my day starts?
21
That's perfect! I'll come to you, and I'll bring coffee.
22
Ha, now you're talking. Can you confirm it by email?
23
Of course. I'll send a new invite in the next ten minutes.
24
And I'll attach the updated proposal, so you can read it first.
25
Great, that would be really helpful.
26
Actually, Tom, can I tell you a little secret?
27
I hadn't finished reading the proposal anyway!
28
Ha! So I've actually done you a favour, then?
29
Don't push your luck. See you on Wednesday!

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.
