تدريب Shadowing: Easy English Conversation for Daily Life | Talk About the World Cup in English | English Podcast - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel, where learning English is easy and fun.

I'm Emily.

Hello Emily and hello to all amazing people around the world.

It is so good to see you today and I am ready to chat.

I am glad you are here, Paul, because I saw something crazy at the park this morning.

Oh, really?

What happened at the park?

There were dozens of kids wearing soccer jerseys and running around with a big ball.

It made me realize that everyone is getting ready for the big tournament.

Oh, you mean the World Cup.

Yes, the whole world is talking about it right now.

Exactly.

The World Cup is everywhere.

It is the perfect time for our listeners to learn how to talk about sports in English.

I totally agree with you.

Sports are great for conversation because people get so passionate and excited.

They really do, Paul.

So when we talk about this big event, we use the words World Cup, but we also need some simple words for the game itself.

Right, like the difference between soccer and football, right?

That always confuses people.

Yes, that is a classic example.

In the United States, we usually say soccer, but most of the world says football.

Exactly.

So if you are talking to an American, say soccer.

Otherwise, football is perfect.

It is funny because even though we say soccer, we still call the big tournament the World Cup.

It never changes.

That is true.

So Emily, who is your favorite team this year?

Ooh, that's a tough question.

I love watching Brazil because they play with so much energy and joy.

Oh, Brazil is amazing.

They have so many stars.

And their fans are always dancing in the stadium.

Yes, the atmosphere is incredible.

By the way, stadium is a great word for our friends to know.

Definitely.

A stadium is the huge place where the players play the match, right?

Exactly.

It is the big building with thousands of seats.

And you used another great word, Der Paul.

Which word was that?

Do you mean match?

Yes, match.

In English, we often say a soccer match instead of a soccer game.

Right.

Both are correct, but match sounds very natural when you talk about the World Cup.

For example, did you see the match last night?

Yes, I love using that phrase.

It sounds so natural and fluent.

So, Emily, when you watch a match, do you prefer to watch it at home or at a restaurant with friends?

Honestly, I love watching it at home with a big bowl of popcorn.

It is nice and comfortable.

Really?

I'm the opposite.

I love going to a sports bar or a public park where there's a giant screen.

Oh, because you like the noise in the crowd?

Yes, I love the energy.

When a team scores a goal, everyone jumps up and cheers together.

Scores a goal is another perfect phrase for us to look at.

We use the verb score when a player puts the ball in the net.

Right.

We don't say make a goal.

We say score a goal.

That is a very important detail for learners.

Yes, that is a common mistake.

People often say he made a goal, but native speakers always say he scored a goal.

Exactly.

Like Messi scored a beautiful goal in the second half.

It just flows better.

Speaking of the game, Paul, do you know how long a standard soccer match lasts?

It is 90 minutes long, divided into two halves of 45 minutes, and there's a small break in the middle.

Yes.

We call that break half-time.

It is when the players rest and the fans get a snack.

Half-time is great because you can talk about the first half with your friends.

You can say things like, the first half was so exciting.

Or you can say, the first half was a bit slow.

It depends on the game.

True.

What happens if the 90 minutes finish and the score is equal, like 1-1?

Well, in the first part of the tournament, a match can end in a draw or a tie.

That means nobody wins.

Ah, a draw.

So you can say, the match ended in a draw.

Exactly.

But later in the tournament, we need a winner, so they play extra time.

Extra time is so stressful.

They play for another 30 minutes, right?

Yes, it is very intense.

Everyone is tired and the pressure is very high.

And if it is still a tie after extra time, then we have the ultimate drama.

Oh, the penalty shootout.

That is almost too much for me to watch.

A penalty shootout is when players take turns shooting the ball from a short distance against the goalkeeper.

It's pure luck sometimes.

It really feels like that.

The poor goalkeeper has so much responsibility on their shoulders.

But it makes for great television.

100

Millions of people watch those moments with their breath held.

101

Definitely!

102

103

Oh yes!

104

Share this with a friend who is learning English and loves soccer too.

105

We want to know in the comments section below which country are you cheering for in this World Cup.

106

That is a great question, Emily.

107

I wonder if we have fans from all over the world watching us right now.

108

I am sure we do.

109

Reading the comments is always my favorite part of the day.

110

Mine too.

111

It is so fun to see where everyone is from.

112

Anyway, back to the soccer talk.

113

Paul, what do you call the shirt that the players wear?

114

We call that a jersey.

115

Each team has their own colors and design for their jersey.

116

Yes, and many fans buy the jersey of their favorite team to wear during the matches.

117

I have a yellow one for Brazil.

118

That is awesome.

119

I have a classic blue jersey.

120

Wearing it makes me feel like I am part of the team.

121

It really does.

122

What about the person who controls the game and blows the whistle?

123

Ah, that is the referee.

124

Or sometimes we just say the ref.

125

They have a tough job.

126

Oh, definitely.

127

Fans always get angry at the referee when they make a decision against their team.

128

Yes.

129

They shout at the TV screen, Come on, ref, that was a foul!

130

Foul is when a player kicks another player by mistake instead of the ball.

131

The referee blows the whistle and stops the game.

132

And they can give a yellow card or red card, right?

133

Yes!

134

A yellow card is a warning, but a red card means the player must leave the field immediately.

135

Ouch!

136

A red card is the worst.

137

Your team has to play with 10 players instead of 11 for the rest of the match.

138

It changes the whole game.

139

The other team gets a huge advantage.

140

147

Practicing every day is the secret to becoming fluent.

148

Now, Paul, let's talk about the fans.

149

We have a specific word for people who love a team, right?

150

Yes, we call them supporters or just fans.

151

Like, I'm a big fan of the national team.

152

Right.

153

And when the fans are happy, they cheer.

154

They shout and clap to support their players.

155

I love the chants they sing in Europe and South America.

156

The whole stadium sings together and it sounds beautiful.

157

Yes.

158

It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

159

Music and sports really bring people together.

160

They do.

161

So, Emily, do you think the USA team has a chance to win the World Cup this time?

162

Honestly, it's going to be very difficult.

163

There are many traditional teams that are much stronger.

164

Yeah.

165

Teams like France, Argentina, or Germany are always dangerous.

166

They have so much history.

167

Exactly!

168

They have won the trophy before, so they know how to handle the pressure.

169

Speaking of the trophy, it is made of real gold, right?

170

It looks beautiful.

171

It is gorgeous.

172

Lifting that trophy is the biggest dream for every single soccer player in the world.

173

Imagine the feeling of winning the final match after working hard for years.

174

It must be incredible.

175

It is the peak of their career.

176

The whole country celebrates for days.

177

I remember when Argentina won.

178

People were celebrating in the streets until the next morning.

179

Yes.

180

It was total madness.

181

Cars were honking and people were crying tears of joy.

182

That is what makes the World Cup so unique.

183

It is more than just a game.

184

It's a global celebration.

185

Well, Paul, I think it is time for our special practice session today.

186

Awesome.

187

Let's do a quick role play so our listeners can hear how these words work in a real conversation.

188

Great idea.

189

Let's pretend we are meeting at a cafe right after a big World Cup match.

190

I'll start.

191

Perfect.

192

I am ready.

193

Let's do it.

194

Hey, Paul.

195

Wow.

196

Did you see the match this afternoon?

197

I'm still catching my breath.

198

Oh my goodness, Emily.

199

Yes.

200

That second half was absolutely crazy.

201

I know.

202

When the referee gave that red card, I thought our team was completely finished.

203

Me too.

204

Playing with 10 men was so hard, but the defense did a wonderful job.

205

And then, in extra time, out of nowhere, we scored that amazing goal.

206

I jumped off my couch and started shouting.

207

The stadium must have been incredibly loud.

208

It was an unbelievable finish.

209

I cannot believe we actually won the match.

210

Now we are going to the quarterfinals, right?

211

Who do we play next?

212

We play France on Friday.

213

It is going to be a very tough match.

214

Wow, France is a fantastic team.

215

We need to buy our jerseys before Friday so we are ready to cheer.

216

Definitely.

217

Let's go to the sports store right now and get them.

218

Sounds like a plan, Emily.

219

Let's go.

220

And that concludes our practice conversation for today.

221

It is a very simple way to use sports terms.

222

Yes, those are sentences you can use with your friends, colleagues, or anyone who loves the game.

223

It's all about using simple phrases like, did you see the match?

224

Or they scored a goal.

225

Exactly.

226

You don't need complex grammar to enjoy a good sports conversation.
