Shadowing Practice: I Cooked Against Robots - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Nick: Robots are becoming more and more like humans.
2
They can build cars, clean your house, and even do parkour.
3
But in this video, I'm cooking against three levels of robots to find out who's the better chef. Robots or humans?
4
For level one, Mark Rober will be the judge.
5
Mark: We're gonna see if Nick can beat some of the most basic kitchen robots that money can buy.
6
And level one we'll have five speed rounds: chopping, stirring, toasting, pizza making, and cleaning. And to win, it's a classic best three out of five.
7
Nick: Are you Team Robot or Team Nick?
8
Mark: I mean, of course I am Team Robot.
9
For this first mini round, we'll be testing chopping skills.
10
And in the robot corner, we've got the Robot Coupe.
11
It's basically an extremely powerful food processor with a couple of googly eyes to boot. I like putting googly eyes on my robots.
12
Are you ready, Nick? Nick: Let's do this.
13
Mark: Start! Nick: Now?
14
Mark: I said start, yeah. I'm taking my time.
15
I'm not worried. How many do you want me to put in, Nick?
16
Nick: I mean, you're Team Robot.
17
Mark: That's true. That feels like a good start.
18
Oh, no. Ah, that's so fast.
19
Nick: Oh, my God. Mark: I didn't even have the time to put it under.
20
Nick: This seems so unfair.
21
Mark: Look at that. They're like perfect cubes.
22
Nick: Before you actually judge, let's look at our cuts.
23
Mark: Yours aren't even real cubes.
24
Those are like rectangular prisms.
25
I mean, this is like laser precision.
26
As a chef, do you want smaller cubes like that or bigger?
27
Nick: I mean, it takes more skill to make smaller cubes.
28
Mark: I rule in favor of our robot overlord.
29
Mark: For speed round number two, we're going to be testing your stirring skills.
30
You will be facing off against an army of five stirring robots, once again with googly eyes.
31
Nick: They are very cute. Mark: Thank you. Nick: Because stirring just one pan wouldn't be much of a challenge. We each have five pans, but there's just one of me and there are five robots. We're going to be stirring pine nuts, which are expensive and burn really easily.
32
Mark: So the first person to burn their nuts loses.
33
That doesn't sound great.
34
Nick: Okay, here we go.
35
Mark: Time to turn on the robot army.
36
And as soon as I start smelling and especially seeing burnt pine nuts, somebody's losing.
37
Nick: This seems a little unfair again. Mark: I don't know.
38
So we're getting good spinning.
39
But the problem is, is it's spinning in place and not going to every edge of the pan.
40
Also, I think like two googly eyes have dropped into the pan.
41
That feels like a definite points off situation.
42
I have seen you spill a few nuts and I don't love that, Nick.
43
Nick: Yeah, but your robots aren't even touching the nuts.
44
I actually think I might win this challenge.
45
I'm actually going to do something the robots can't do and switch my pans around to kind of keep things even as well.
46
And the robots, they just don't have arms.
47
Mark: Ah, the robot feet are melting! Nick: Oh no!
48
He's melting. Mark: Stoves off, stoves off.
49
Nick: What happened here?
50
Mark: Disaster on the robot front. It completely charred these pine nuts.
51
And on top of that, the plastic feet melted in the pan.
52
Wow. This is a nice, even golden brown.
53
Let me taste test.
54
That's good. I don't have the courage to try any of these. Plastic's not necessarily my thing.
55
This one's an easy call. Nick: winner of this round.
56
We're all tied up heading into speed round number three. For round three, we'll be testing your ability to make toast.
57
It's very simple, but easy to screw up from personal experience.
58
On the robot side, we have this extremely high tech $500 toaster with a screen.
59
So where's your screen, Nick?
60
Nick: On the human side, I have a good old pan with some fire.
61
Mark: Is that how you actually make toast at home?
62
Nick: Yeah. Mark: You're so fancy.
63
At the end of this round, I will judge the winner based on looks and taste.
64
Nick: Here we go. Mark: Oh, wow.
65
Bread. English muffin.
66
Waffle. Bagel.
67
Hey, do your thing.
68
Don't look over here. ...And start.
69
Oh, there it goes.
70
Nick: so the key to making a nice slice of toast, Mark, while your toaster just slowly takes its sweet time over there. I like to quickly hit both sides of the toast right away, and you have to be very gentle. You don't want to press into the toast.
71
Mark: Wait, why tweezers? Nick: I'm cooking against a $500 robot.
72
It's all about precision.
73
Mark: Okay. How are we doing here?
74
Oh. It's browning.
75
Oh, I feel like I smell and see smoke, though.
76
Oh, it's a countdown now.
77
Seven. Six. Five. Nick: What?
78
Mark: Yeah. Where's your countdown?
79
Come to papa.
80
Oh, wow. Okay, actually, that is pretty exact.
81
Nick: The key with toast is to make sure that the outside is nice and crispy, while the inside stays nice and light and fluffy.
82
Mark: This is a butter knife, right?
83
Nick: No. Oh, my gosh, look at that.
84
Mark: Oh, wow. That looks like grilled cheese.
85
Nick: I'm even gonna get the sides.
86
Why don't you do that toaster?
87
Mark: I'm nervous about this one.
88
You're putting a lot of chef's kiss in that. So that I can be a very impartial judge, I'm gonna close my eyes, and it's just the one bite challenge.
89
You know the rules. Nick: Mark, I'm gonna shuffle them around. Mark: Okay. Nick: So number one.
90
Mark: Can you do, like, an airplane sound? Nick: Mark: That makes me want to cry.
91
It's so good. Can we just do one more bite at number one before we move on?
92
Nick: Sure. Mark: And with the airplane sounds.
93
Nick: Mark: Mm, I didn't know toast could taste so good.
94
Nick: Number two. I'm not doing airplane.
95
Mark: By comparison this is just like a wet sock.
96
Number one by a nautical mile.
97
Nick: Number one was me.
98
Mark: Wow. Okay, well, I finished eating this.
99
The score is now humans: 2.
100
Robots: 1. For speed round number four, we're going to see who can make the best pizza. Man versus robot.
101
And this is a doozy here.
102
All I have to do is load in the sauce.
103
Now I just got to add in some cheese.
104
Put my dough right there.
105
Nick: I haven't even started.
106
Mark: All right, here we go. It's scanning the pizza.
107
Look at that laser scan.
108
Sauce goes on.
109
Now, right here is where it's putting the pepperonis on.
110
Nick: It seems super unfair.
111
Mark: Wow. Put that in the Louvre.
112
I want to see how many pizzas I can make in the time it takes you to make one, Nick.
113
Nick: I'm still just rolling out my dough.
114
Mark: While I'm over here laser scanning pizzas.
115
Not only are you taking forever, but you're also making a mess.
116
Luckily, round five deals with cleaning up messes.
117
Do you need any help?
118
Nick: Do you know how to make a pizza?
119
Mark: I do not.
120
Nick: At this point, I'm just trying to finish my pizza before Mark makes... Mark: Number four?
121
Nick: Yeah. Yeah.
122
Mark: All right.
123
Well, you have exactly 40s.
124
Nick: I can do 40s.
125
Let's just do a little bit of olive oil.
126
Mark: Oh, never mind. Zero seconds.
127
It was done.
128
Nick: I'm done. Two very, very different looking pizzas.
129
Mark: Very different looking.
130
That looks like it's about to go into an Easy-Bake oven.
131
These are masterpieces.
132
Like put these in a brick oven.
133
Nick: Already, I feel like this is off to an unfair start, but it's not done yet.
134
I think we should bake them.
135
Mark: We need to bake them.
136
Okay. Time's up.
137
And Nick's pizza looks interesting.
138
Now, as for the robot, look at that.
139
Aesthetically, the robot definitely has it at this point, but let's see how they taste.
140
Human first.
141
That's like a 4.8.
142
Nick: Now for the robots.
143
Mark: To be honest, the taste is pretty similar.
144
The robot has a way better ratio of like dough to cheese to pepperoni.
145
It's just a much more balanced bite.
146
Robot takes it, and that means going into the fifth and final round, it's robots: 2, Nick: 2.
147
We are tied.
148
And speaking of the final round, it's an absolute mess back here, thanks to Nick. Time for our cleanup challenge.
149
All right, this is it.
150
Fifth and final round.
151
Nick, you made quite a mess here.
152
I'm adding a little extra.
153
It's you versus the Roomba cleaning robot.
154
I'm going to divide this down the middle.
155
You have to clean that side.
156
The Roomba's got to clean this side.
157
Nick: Why did you give me so much more to clean?
158
Mark: Now, remember this is winner takes all.
159
Whoever wins this round wins all of level one.
160
Okay? Come on, boy, do something.
161
Oh, wow. That's good.
162
That is way cleaner than I was expecting.
163
Nick: Honestly, that's making me extremely nervous.
164
Mark: The problem is, he's going the wrong way.
165
Nick: Not to brag, but I'm doing pretty well over here.
166
Mark: Roomba, where are you going?
167
You hardly did any work.
168
You didn't earn a docking station.
169
Oh, here he comes. Let's go.
170
Round two, baby.
171
Nick: Oh, he's getting my side dirty again.
172
Mark: Yeah, sabotage! Robot, where are you going?
173
No. I think I'm ready for the final verdict.
174
Well, given that we were tied heading into this round, Nick, whoever won this clean up round wins all of level one.
175
And after looking at the results, the winner for all of level one between robots and humans is... the humans.
176
Nick: Yes! Mark: Nick!
177
Congratulations. Nick: I am sorry, Mark, because I know you wanted robots to win.
178
Mark: I did. Nick: Deep down. Mark: I really did.
179
Robots don't let me down in level two.
180
You got this. Nick: For level two, I'll be cooking against Moley, the world's first fully robotic kitchen.
181
I'm kind of scared. It took ten years of research to make this robot, and it can recreate movements of a professional chef and has over 5,000 recipes uploaded to its memory. We're going head to head to see who can make a better pasta dish, and at the end, a blind taste test will determine who wins this round.
182
Before we start cooking, I'm going to choose the recipe that Moley is going to make today.
183
And since we're doing pasta, I'm going to go with a spaghetti puttanesca.
184
I just found out that this is a kill switch, so if he starts beating me, I'm just gonna whack it. It's time to find out if Moley's really worth that $100,000 price tag.
185
And here he goes. First things first.
186
It looks like he's turning on the cooktop.
187
Oh, we're going for the olive oil.
188
Good start, Moley.
189
Now it's grabbing some olives, anchovies, some garlic, some capers.
190
Sometimes I feel like Moley is just doing fancy movements to flex on all of us.
191
What? It's using a spatula?
192
Moley's scraping the bottom of the pan right now, making sure all those nice little flavorful bits aren't sitting there and burning.
193
The more I watch right now, the more nervous I'm getting about this competition.
194
Thinking about pressing the red button. It just tapped and now is scraping off the extra ingredients on the spatula.
195
This is unbelievable.
196
And in we go with the tomato sauce and he's gonna mix it all up.
197
Here comes the pasta. Oh, come on with the tap.
198
That just seems like you're rubbing it in.
199
Some of that pasta is sitting above the water right now, so I'm wondering if Moley is going to do anything to make sure that that goes under the water.
200
Oh, okay. At this point, you have to wonder if the robot just heard me say that.
201
Or maybe it's just really that smart on its own.
202
So I'm guessing right now that Moley has it down to an exact timing.
203
And I'm thinking right now that this might be the most perfectly cooked pasta I have ever seen in my life. Oh, you missed a noodle, Moley.
204
Let me help you. It's very well cooked.
205
This here seems like the final step.
206
Just throwing in these herbs.
207
So after one last wipe of the spatula, it looks like the dish is complete.
208
That was amazing. The only chance that I might have is if the judge picks up on that some of the pasta might be a little bit less cooked than the rest of the pasta.
209
Moley didn't quite fully stir it all the way here, but I'm gonna help Moley plate it onto a nice dish so the judge cannot tell which is the robot's and which is mine.
210
I'm going into this challenge a bit nervous, but for my dish, I'll be making an uni butter pasta. To begin, I'm starting out with this fresh sea urchin.
211
Sea urchin tastes almost like butter, so it's going to be perfect with our pasta.
212
First, I'll add these to a small blender, making sure to use plenty.
213
Then for a bit of acidity, I'll add just a touch of yuzu juice and for a bit of color, just a touch of saffron oil.
214
Now, because we want to make an uni butter, I'll take a few nice knobs of butter and add that to my uni. Once it reaches a nice smooth and creamy consistency, our uni butter is done. Now I'm actually going to cook my pasta a little bit earlier than Moley cooked his. I'll start by tossing a generous amount of salt into my pasta water, and then in we go with some fresh homemade pasta.
215
You hear that, robot?
216
Homemade pasta.
217
I'll go in with a bit of pasta water to a new pan, and then drop in a nice few spoonfuls of our fresh uni butter.
218
We'll mix this together so it forms a nice sauce.
219
And then in goes our pasta.
220
I know robots aren't supposed to be able to feel emotions, but I have a feeling Moley's scared right now. I'll add in my pasta.
221
Nice and tight in the center of my plate, then finish with a nice drizzle of herb oil.
222
A few pieces of fresh sea urchin and just a few nice microgreens.
223
Time to see who wins.
224
After a bit of plating help, here's the robot spaghetti puttanesca.
225
And here's my dish and uni butter pasta.
226
The way they're plated, the judge shouldn't be able to tell who made which dish.
227
Harrison will be the judge for our blind taste test.
228
Harrison: Oh, damn.
229
I'm being honest right now.
230
I have no clue which one's which.
231
I'm gonna start with the uni butter pasta.
232
I've never had uni, by the way, before, so this is like a first time for everything.
233
That is insane. Puttanesca.
234
Here we go. This is...
235
This is, this is good.
236
I'm just trying to figure out how has a robot sliced olives, put capers over...
237
But then how have we got uni over here?
238
I'm so sorry if I get this wrong.
239
I think the robot made the uni pasta.
240
I'm gonna say the puttanesca tastes better.
241
Nick: That's made by the robot.
242
Harrison: No it's not.
243
I'm so sorry.
244
Nick: I just lost to a robot fair and square.
245
That means we're tied 1 to 1, and it all comes down to round three.
246
For level three, our final challenge, I'll be cooking a steak against Neo Beta, an advanced humanoid robot.
247
What's up, Neo? Neo: How's it going, Nick?
248
The way this will work is simple.
249
In front of us are three steaks.
250
We've got a porterhouse, a filet mignon, and a ribeye.
251
We're each gonna cook one, and the audience will decide in the comments below who is the true champion.
252
Neo: How about we do rock, paper, scissors to see who picks first?
253
Nick: I'm down for rock, paper, scissors.
254
You ready? Rock, paper, scissor.
255
Shoot. Neo: I beat you.
256
Nick: Fair is fair. You get to pick first.
257
Go ahead. Neo: My dad likes the porterhouse the most.
258
Personally, I'm usually a ribeye guy.
259
But today I'm going to go with the filet.
260
Nick: You're going with the filet?
261
Neo: Yeah, just a classic cut.
262
Nick: Go for it.
263
It's all you. I'm probably gonna go with the ribeye.
264
The steaks have been chosen.
265
Best of luck, Chef Neo.
266
Neo: Let the best chef win. That's a weak handshake.
267
Nick: The first thing with a steak, of course, is salt and pepper.
268
So I'm going to go salt all over my beautiful ribeye.
269
And I can see you're also starting with your salt.
270
By the way, how long have you been cooking?
271
I'm curious. Neo: Three months.
272
Nick: You've only been cooking for three months?
273
Neo: I'm only a year old. What do you expect?
274
I read a little bit about cooking steaks on Wikipedia before this.
275
Nick, I don't know if you know or not, but when you season a steak, you're supposed to get all the different sides.
276
Nick: I don't know if you're trying to get my head or what you're doing, but it's not going to work.
277
Neo: I'm ready to cook.
278
Nick: You know how to turn on the burner?
279
Neo: Of course. I'm just gonna twist this knob real quick.
280
And there it is.
281
Nick: Nice job.
282
Neo: All right, I'm just gonna grab my - ope, ope!
283
Sorry about that. Nick: That's all right, that's all right.
284
Neo: Pick it up real quick.
285
Nick: Okay. That is impressive.
286
Do you mind if I borrow that? Neo: Yeah.
287
Let me just grab it for you real quick.
288
Nick: Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
289
Okay. Perfect. So our oil is in both of our pans.
290
I think my oil is getting to that temp that I'm ready to put my steak in.
291
What about you?
292
Neo: Me, too. Nick, would you mind handing me that spatula over there?
293
Nick: Yeah, absolutely. Not a problem at all.
294
Neo: Just gonna pick it up nice and careful here.
295
And just like that.
296
Nice and easy.
297
Nick: Are you ready for this sound?
298
Neo: Yeah, let's see it. Pretty good.
299
When you sear, you just want to make sure it's fully flat to get the best sear possible on the bottom of the steak.
300
So I'm just applying some light pressure with the spatula here.
301
I'm going for the flip, Nick. Check this out.
302
And there it is.
303
Nick: Oh my gosh.
304
No way you just did that.
305
All right, I'm gonna go for my flip now.
306
Mine doesn't look as good as yours.
307
Neo: All right, Nick, I'm gonna go in for the butter.
308
Three. Two. One.
309
And. Touchdown!
310
Nick: You're actually butter basting now?
311
Neo: Yep. Nick: How do you even know what that is?
312
Neo: I was watching a lot of Food Network last week.
313
Nick: Mine's actually done. I'm gonna go ahead and start resting it.
314
Neo: I'm not allowed to use knives, so could you help me?
315
I just need those potatoes behind me over there.
316
Just chop those up real quick, and I'm just gonna make a quick side dish.
317
Hey, could you just grab me a plate over there?
318
Nick: You're gonna keep bossing me around.
319
Neo: And put it right there. Just rest that for, like, five-ish minutes.
320
That'd be pretty good. Bring those potatoes over right about here.
321
Nick: Okay. Neo: And I'll just grab them.
322
All right. I'm just gonna add a couple into the pan here.
323
Can I have the asparagus now, please?
324
Nick: Listen. This is it.
325
I'm not helping you anymore. I need to make my chimichurri.
326
Now, I'm gonna go in with a bit of olive oil and a nice splash of white wine vinegar.
327
Then some garlic. Fresh parsley.
328
Whoosh! Neo: Whoa! Nick: Just a touch of paprika.
329
A few red pepper flakes.
330
A bit of garlic powder, a touch of salt, a good amount of fresh cracked pepper.
331
And last but not least, my secret ingredient.
332
Neo: I'm listening. Nick: A few pistachios.
333
You see what you're up against right now?
334
Neo: Yeah, that's... that's advanced stuff.
335
Nick: Here we go. You want to taste?
336
Neo: That's real funny, Nick. Let's just cut the steaks.
337
Nick: Congratulations, Neo.
338
We've finished cooking both of our steaks.
339
The question now is, whose do we cut into first?
340
Neo: I think we.
341
Got to definitely go with yours.
342
Nick: The pressure is on for both of us.
343
Neo: That's right. Nick: I'm gonna cut right in the middle.
344
I'm gonna give you a sneak peak first.
345
What do you think?
346
Neo: Not too shabby.
347
Nick: You can be honest with me. Are you nervous?
348
Neo: I'm a little nervous. It is my first time cooking a steak.
349
Moment of Nick: truth, okay? Three.
350
Two. One. Look at that. As much as I hate to admit it, it looks like Neo also got a perfect medium rare. Before you all vote in the comments below who won this challenge, I won the first level, then the robots won round two with that amazing spaghetti puttanesca, so it all comes down to this: level three. Neo, why don't you explain your dish first?
351
Neo: So I prepared for you a filet mignon.
352
Perfect. Medium rare.
353
And as you can see, we have these beautiful potatoes as well as some perfectly seared asparagus.
354
Nick: I will admit, yours actually looks pretty good, but what I have here is a more flavorful ribeye cooked perfectly medium, which is my personal favorite.
355
You and I can agree to disagree on that one.
356
Neo: You're just wrong.
357
Nick: And under it, I've made a pistachio chimichurri and topped it off with a few extra parsley leaves.
358
Neo: Don't let the parsley leaves fool you.
359
They don't really do much.
360
Nick: All right, guys.
361
You've seen everything you need to see, so make sure you go subscribe.
362
And then go down to the comments below and say who you think won.
363
Neo, any last words?
364
Neo: Let's face it, Nick, robots are way cooler in every single way poss-- Nick: Shh.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
