Sottotitoli in inglese
Chiarisci parole sconosciute e frasi difficili. Usa un dizionario e brevi appunti se necessario.
Passaggio 3
Shadowing
Ripeti frase per frase e imita pronuncia, ritmo, accento e intonazione.
Passaggio 4
Dettato
Scrivi alcune frasi chiave da ciò che senti per allenare forma e struttura.
Passaggio 5
Riascolto senza sottotitoli
Ascolta di nuovo senza supporto testuale e nota cosa ora risulta più facile e chiaro.
Dopo l’allenamento

Condividi appunti, parole nuove o un concetto utile, poi racconta l’episodio con parole tue.
Passo successivo
Dall’intensivo all’estensivo
Riutilizza gli episodi studiati in modo intensivo come ascolto di sottofondo e aumenta il volume con materiale familiare.

📝 Trascrizione dialogo IELTS Speaking
Today I want to talk about a recent urban development project in our city centre. The plan aimed to bring the district back to its zenith. The project officially started in 2008, although some people claim it began in 2010. I will not digress too far into dates, but the timeline matters. We set out to shatter the myth that revitalisation only benefits the wealthy. If we fail, community trust could shatter and local support will evaporate. Some developers seemed driven by lucre rather than by long term benefit. Lucre, in plain terms, means profit often sought at the expense of public good. To digress briefly, I want to mention a market stall I visited. A vendor sold homemade herbal lotion at the square. That lotion was inexpensive and popular with both residents and tourists. At its zenith the renovated area attracted tourists and small businesses. The aim was to balance design and social needs. Critics said the park reopened in April, while others insisted it was March; this conflicting claim is confusing. I argue we must prioritise people, and not let short term lucre guide planning. In short, we need policies that will not shatter local life but will raise the area back to its true zenith.
📝 📚 Domande pratica IELTS
1
What product did the market vendor sell?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The speaker explicitly says a vendor sold homemade herbal lotion. The other items are plausible market goods but are not mentioned in the passage.
2
According to the speaker, when did the project officially start?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The speaker states the project officially started in 2008, although some claim 2010. Options B, C and D are incorrect because only 2008 is given as the official start in the passage.
3
What does the speaker warn could 'shatter' if the project fails?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The passage says 'community trust could shatter.' The other options are plausible consequences but are not mentioned by the speaker.
4
Why does the speaker mention 'lucre' in the talk?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The speaker says some developers seemed driven by lucre rather than long-term benefit, using 'lucre' to criticise profit-driven motives. The other options are incorrect because the speaker does not praise financial success, nor discuss taxes or subsidies.
5
What reason can you infer for the speaker briefly mentioning the market vendor and lotion?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
Mentioning the vendor and the lotion serves to illustrate local character and how residents and tourists interacted with the space. It is not a shift to personal skincare, statistical data, or advertising, so B, C and D are incorrect.
6
What is the best synonym for 'zenith' as used in the passage?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The speaker uses 'zenith' to describe the district at its peak. 'Highest point' matches this meaning. 'Beginning', 'decline', and 'average level' are opposite or incorrect meanings.
7
Which of the following conflicting claims does the speaker mention?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The speaker notes critics said the park reopened in April while others insisted it was March, creating a conflicting claim. The other options are not described as conflicting claims in the passage.
