Unfortunately, he decided not to stay until next year.
106
He is now 60 years old and he would like to stop teaching before he is 65.
107
We know that he is popular with our students and we would like to buy him a leaving present.
108
If we collect enough money, we can buy him something really nice.
109
We have already collected £60, but we need at least £40 more to make a total of £100.
110
Someone suggested buying a clock, and someone else suggested a watch.
111
But we decided to buy him a nice DVD player instead, because he loves watching films.
112
Your teachers will collect money for Mr Snow in the school cafeteria after lessons next Friday.
113
We finish lessons at midday on Friday the 15th of April.
114
On Saturday the 16th, we will meet at school at around 5.30pm to prepare for the party.
115
The party starts around 7 in the evening.
116
Then a student will give him the present.

142
Well, I'm not so interested either, but a friend was telling me about it.
143
He goes to lots of arts events.
144
He told me to look online.
145
There's some good concerts on that we could go to.

Really?
147
That sounds interesting.
148
Are there any rock concerts that I would like?
149
Or is it classical music only?
150
Most of it is classical.
151
However, I think you'd like one of these concerts.
152
Oh, why? Is someone famous playing?
153
Yes, Bob Wood.
154
You know, the one who plays the guitar.
155
That sounds nice.
156
Where's the event?
157
It was going to be in the old cinema near the stadium.
158
But he's so popular that they've changed their plans.

Mandy isn't doing so well in most of her studies, is she?
278
That's not very unusual.
279
I suppose she's a bit busy at the moment.
280
Not studying, I think.
281
No, I think she started working in a cafe to help her family because her father lost his job last month.

308
Oh, and Frances too. But she can't act.
309
Exactly.
310
That's why she's going to sing a song and her friend Jill is going to dance.
311
Let's hope they're better at singing and dancing than they are at acting.
312
What about you, Ben?
313
You can't sing, dance or act.
314
That's why I'll be behind the stage, not on it.

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.
