1
Hello?
2
Hello.
3
My name is John, and I'm calling to ask about the apartment for rent.
4
I saw your advertisement online.
5
Yes!
6
Thanks for calling, John.
7
I'm Matthew.
8
I have a two-bedroom apartment and I'm looking for a roommate to share the rent.
9
Great!
10
Where is the apartment located?
11
The address is 345 South Street, Apartment C.
12
It is across from the library and right next door to the pizza restaurant.
13
I know exactly where that is.
14
That's a great location.
15
Yes, I find it very convenient.
16
And what is the rent?
17
It's $800 per month, so your half would be $400.
18
That sounds good to me.
19
Would you like to come by and check out the apartment?
20
That would be great.
21
How about 5 p.m today?
22
Perfect.
23
I'll see you then.
24
So, John, I've prepared a few questions to see if you'd be a good match as a roommate.
25
Are you ready?
26
Go for it!
27
Okay.
28
First of all, are you a smoker?
29
I am not a smoker.
30
Do you smoke?
31
I don't, and I'm really glad you don't either.
32
I would prefer to keep the apartment smoke-free.
33
Me too.
34
I cannot stand the smell of smoke.
35
Perfect.
36
Next question.
37
Are you a night owl or an early bird?
38
I tend to get up early because I like to get to the gym early and work out most days.
39
I've always liked staying active and fit.
40
Great, I'm an early bird as well,
41
and I like to run in the morning whenever I get the chance.
42
How often would you plan on having friends or family visit?
43
Are you very outgoing?
44
I would probably have friends over a few nights a week,
45
but I wouldn't host a lot of parties.
46
I'm pretty laid back and prefer a night of playing cards with friends,
47
rather than a loud and crazy dance party.
48
My little brother will probably come visit a few times a year.
49
But he is really friendly and easy to get along with.
50
That sounds good.
51
I do host a few parties a year,
52
but otherwise, I too just have a few friends over every once in a while.
53
How old is your brother?
54
He's 16.
55
He might be coming to college here in a few years.
56
Do you have siblings?
57
I have a brother too,
58
but he is older than me.
59
He's married and has kids,
60
so he will not be visiting me anytime soon.
61
I think it's cool if your brother wants to come visit us a few times.
62
That shouldn't be a problem.
63
Another question.
64
When it comes to chores and cleaning,
65
what tasks do you prefer to take on?
66
And how clean do you expect the apartment to be?
67
I generally like things to be pretty tidy.
68
I'll gladly help out to make sure we keep the apartment clean.
69
I'll do the dishes and run the vacuum often.
70
How clean do you like to keep things?
71
I'm pretty neat as well.
72
I hate coming home to a messy apartment.
73
So I'm constantly cleaning up the kitchen and mopping the floors.
74
I'd also help out with cleaning the bathroom and dusting around the apartment.
75
It sounds like we would both keep things clean, which is good.
76
What are you studying in school?
77
I'm a chemistry and a biology major.
78
I hope to become a doctor one day.
79
Wow, that's impressive.
80
I am majoring in business,
81
but I am not exactly sure what I will do after I graduate.
82
Do you have any questions for me?
83
Yes.
84
In general, what are some things you like to do?
85
How do you spend your weekends and free time?
86
I like to go to the movies a lot.
87
I also like to cook and try new recipes.
88
On the weekends, I swim,
89
meet friends for lunch, go on hikes, and play video games.
90
How about you?
91
What do you like to do?
92
I love to read and play video games.
93
I also like to go to concerts and listen to music.
94
Nice!
95
I love music as well.
96
Is there anything you really don't like?
97
Hmm, I guess I don't like cold weather activities.
98
I don't like skiing or playing in the snow.
99
I'd rather vacation at a beach than at a ski resort.
100
So, in the winter, I'll probably stay inside a lot and read and watch television.
101
That's funny.
102
I work as a ski instructor during the winter.
103
So while I'm out skiing,
104
you can have the apartment to yourself.
105
Sounds great to me.
106
Oh, I almost forgot to ask.
107
Do you have a car?
108
I do.
109
We have two parking spaces.
110
One is in a garage,
111
and one is on the street.
112
Do you have a preference for where you would park?
113
I'm fine with parking on the street.
114
My car isn't very fancy.
115
It doesn't need to be in the garage.
116
Great.
117
Well, I think we would make a good fit as roommates.
118
What do you think?
119
Yes, I agree.
120
Let's do this.
121
When can I move in?
122
You could move in on Monday if that works for you.
123
Rent would be $400 each month.
124
Sounds great.
125
I'm looking forward to it.
126
Me too.
127
I'll have the landlord add your name to the lease,
128
and you can sign it next week.
129
Awesome.
130
Thank you.
131
We're going to have a great time here.

练习建议
为了提升您的英语发音和口语流利度，建议您在观看这段视频时使用英语影子跟读的技巧。首先，您可以反复听每一句对话，确保理解其含义和语调。接着，尽量跟随视频中的说话者的速度进行模仿，特别是注意shadow speech中语调的高低和语速的变化。可以尝试在安静的环境中进行练习，以便更好地掌握发音和语调。对于初学者来说，您可以在每句话后暂停十秒钟，尝试重复刚听到的内容，这有助于提高您在看YouTube学英语中的自信心和流利度。随着您能力的提升，可以逐渐加快练习的速度，挑战自己在更快的语速下进行跟读。
总之，通过这些练习，您可以有效提高英语发音并增强与他人交流的能力，不论是在求租公寓还是日常社交场合。不断练习，您将会发现您的英语口语技能有显著提升。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
