This is a video in slow English to help you practice your listening comprehension.

It is now about 10 a.m so it's time for breakfast.

I was up quite early for me,

for me this morning because I had class at 8am.

I'm not a huge breakfast person.

Like some people love breakfast.

I could skip breakfast, honestly.

But recently I have been enjoying it.

I've been having French toast.

so that is what we are going to have first.

So the first thing that I do is I crack an egg into the bowl

and I add a dash of milk as well, just a small bit.

I then grab the cinnamon

from the cupboard so I use sweet cinnamon

and I just guess I guess how much to put in

this was quite a lot I add about a spoonful of sugar

and then I just whisk everything together with a fork you also call this beating I beat the mixture

so I mix it

I also use brioche so I keep it in the freezer and defrost it when I need to use it.

I put a small piece of butter in the frying pan

and then I just mix the like cinnamon toast mixture with the brioche bread

and I put it in the frying pan to fry.

I like having my french toast with strawberries

so I chop the top off the strawberry

and I slice them now it's just time to flip the french toast

and let it cook for a couple more minutes and and everything is done.

Next I just add everything together,

so strawberries, maple syrup and some icing sugar.

This was super sweet and cinnamony

and this is definitely my favourite breakfast to have right now and I ate it while watching YouTube,

watching some YouTube videos.

It's now quarter to 11.

I've just done a little bit more work but I think I'm going to head to a cafe for a while.

Recently I have been doing YouTube on my days off

so I work and I do YouTube when I have free time

so I want to go somewhere cute for this so I'm gonna pack my bag now

and we are going to go for a coffee.

I had some work

that I needed to do.

I needed to edit actually my last video.

so I went to a nearby cafe.

It was super quiet because it was like a Tuesday

so most people are at work but I ordered an iced caramel latte which is my usual drink,

it's my typical drink and I did some editing with this gorgeous view.

Hello again.

I just got back from coffee and I'm going to make a super quick lunch before I start working again.

I have some leftover rice from yesterday and I'm just gonna do like a super quick fried rice with tofu.

To make the fried rice I basically just used anything that I had in the fridge already.

So I chopped up a mushroom and the light part,

the lighter section of a spring onion.

I then put that into the frying pan with a little bit of olive oil to fry.

For protein, I chop a small amount of smoked tofu.

For the sauce, hang on.

I have everything else here that's going to go in the sauce.

So I don't know what this sauce is.

I always call it teriyaki.

It is not teriyaki.

Like anyone from Japan is going to be like, that's not teriyaki.

It's true.

But I'm going to just do like soy sauce.

I've got some sesame oil.

this is rice wine vinegar

and I have some like hot honey like chili honey I also have some garlic

and ginger and basically I just make the sauce with these ingredients I don't know it tastes it tastes fine

I just add a little bit of the leftover rice

and I make a huge mess and then

and then I just fry everything together this you know is probably not the best way to make fried rice

but whatever it's fine basically all of the other ingredients like the sesame oil

and a bit of the chili honey and the soy sauce all of

that goes in randomly and I just mix it up and it's fine.

I also had some leftover vegetables in the fridge so I just used those as well.

I just have the rice here with some leftover vegetables from

yesterday this is not the most exciting meal in the world it's not super exciting

but I just needed something super quick so

that I can carry on with my day while I eat I am going to watch some YouTube.

I don't know what I'm gonna watch.

So I just went to get my eyebrows done.

You probably can't tell.

But while I was in town I picked up some more multivitamins.

I am vegetarian, so naturally there are some vitamins that I don't get from my diet,

so I take them as extra vitamins.

I ran out, so I guess I'm eating these.

These are like vitamin gummies.

I just take two of these every day.

They are strawberry flavour and they just taste like sweets.

So like candy.

They're quite good.

I also just grabbed some water.

This is an orange and passion fruit flavoured water.

And I'm now going to head to the gym.

I have everything I need in the car.

So to the gym.

I've just been to the gym and then honestly I started to make a protein shake and I forgot to film.

So here I am making a protein shake.

I drink this one, this clear blood orange protein shake.

It's basically like a...

Woo!

It's like a clear, a clear protein.

So I'm not a big fan of like the milkshake style protein shakes.

100

I prefer this one, which is more like a squash.

101

It's like a juice almost.

102

So I do two spoonfuls of the protein powder.

103

And then I just shake it.

104

And yeah, I will have this and go take a shower and get back to work.

105

It's now the evening.

106

It's 7.20 at night.

107

I'm gonna start cooking dinner.

108

Today I'm going to make one of my like favorite foods ever.

109

It's pasta with like a creme fraiche sauce.

110

The first thing I'm doing is peeling with a peeler.

111

I'm peeling the carrot and then I'm going to cut it.

112

I'm going to dice it.

113

In English, if you read a recipe and it asks you to dice something,

114

it basically means cut it into like really small pieces.

115

This is diced.

116

Now I'm going to prepare the leek.

117

Leeks often can have like soil in them,

118

this is like dirt, earth, soil.

119

You have to wash those like carefully because they grow up.

120

And now I'm going to chop it as well.

121

I'm going to use this big frying pan.

122

Okay.

123

And now I'm going to reduce the heat.

124

While that fries, I'm going to chop some mushrooms.

125

And again, I just rough chop.

126

This is to rough chop, like not planned.

127

I just rough chop it a little bit like this.

128

Now that this has been frying for a minute or two,

129

I add the mushrooms.

130

We are going to be having this with pasta.

131

Any Italians watching?

132

With jiggly pasta.

133

is that that's not how you say it

134

so i i eat like fake meat like fake meat we

135

call it you know it's like corn well corn is the brand

136

but we often use

137

that to describe anything that's kind of like fake meat i'm

138

gonna have this with fake chicken okay i don't mind

139

if other people um eat meat it doesn't bother me um

140

i just don't eat meat myself you know i have been vegetarian for

141

eight years no less seven years i did grow up eating meat but uh one day when i turned 18

142

like it just suddenly i don't know if something in my brain developed

143

or something but it just made me feel sick and the thought of eating meat makes me feel sick.

144

Fake meat is fine so corn fine no problem but yeah

145

when I when I um when I try like I've been fed meat accidentally

146

and I literally once I know when I don't know

147

that I've eaten meat I'm fine but if I know it was meat I'm sick.

148

I don't know that's why lots of people are like why

149

are you vegetarian um that's why it makes me sick

150

and I like animals and I like vegetarian food but if you eat meat that's fine.

151

I don't and you can do whatever you want but I don't,

152

I don't eat meat.

153

The giggly, jiggly.

154

Any Italians?

155

Any Italians listening?

156

as the pasta cooks I am going to make up the sauce

157

so I add a small bit of white wine

158

and then I just add everything else so that is the creme fraiche which creme fraiche is like a slightly

159

sour cream and I add that with a little bit of lemon and some nutmeg as well.

160

A small bit of nutmeg which is a type of spice.

161

Then I just drain the pasta and I add everything together.

162

I forgot to film an outro but I just wanted to say thank you

163

¿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.
