In this weekly recap, Peter turns the three short episodes from this week into one focused vocabulary and shadowing workout.</p>\r\n<p>The two-sentence game is simple:</p>\r\n<ul><li>Peter says a short, natural sentence containing one target expression.</li><li>You get three seconds of silence to shadow it aloud and copy the rhythm and stress.</li><li>Peter gives you a second sentence with the same meaning but different vocabulary, so you can confirm the meaning without translating.</li></ul>\r\n<p>You will review all twenty learning items from this week:</p>\r\n<p>Success idioms, collocations and learning language:</p>\r\n<ul><li>come out on top;</li><li>pay off;</li><li>go places;</li><li>with flying colours;</li><li>compete against;</li><li>a challenging situation;</li><li>pass an assessment;</li><li>retrieval practice.</li></ul>\r\n<p>Probability vocabulary:</p>\r\n<ul><li>likely;</li><li>unlikely;</li><li>inevitable.</li></ul>\r\n<p>Natural reactions from the audio lesson:</p>\r\n<ul><li>No way!;</li><li>That’s great news!;</li><li>What a relief!;</li><li>I’m sorry to hear that.</li></ul>\r\n<p>Extra reactions from the web lesson:</p>\r\n<ul><li>You’re joking!;</li><li>I’m so pleased for you;</li><li>Thank goodness!;</li><li>That’s a shame;</li><li>That must be difficult.</li></ul>\r\n<p>Listen once for meaning. Then play the episode again and begin repeating as soon as Peter speaks, using the three-second silence to finish each sentence.
