1
Helen, have you got a moment to go through the brief?
2
Certainly, James. Is something not clear?
3
To be honest, I'm not sure what the client actually wants.
4
The email they sent was rather vague.
5
I know what you mean. It was written in a hurry.
6
Basically, they want their brochure to be completely redesigned.
7
So are we changing the text too, or just the layout?
8
Just the layout. The text has already been approved.
9
That's a relief. And who exactly is it aimed at?
10
Mainly younger customers, people in their twenties and thirties.
11
So something modern and less formal, then.
12
Exactly. They feel the current one looks rather dated.
13
What sort of deadline are we working to?
14
They'd like a first draft by the end of the month.
15
That's doable, provided I get the photos this week.
16
I'll chase them up this afternoon.
17
One more thing. Is there a fixed budget for printing?
18
There is, and it's fairly tight, I'm afraid.
19
So I'd steer clear of anything too fancy.
20
Understood. I'll keep it simple but eye-catching.
21
Just to make sure we're on the same page.
22
New layout, younger audience, same text, draft by the thirtieth.
23
That's it in a nutshell.
24
And do run your ideas past me before you go too far.
25
Of course. I'll put together two or three rough concepts.
26
Lovely. Shall we meet again on Friday morning?
27
Friday's fine. I'll have something to show you by then.
28
Wonderful. Thanks for double-checking, James.

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。
