Création de la leçon...
1
There's just something about this vlog
2
that beautifully encapsulates the energy of a university student just trying to live her life while juggling, and maybe slacking, on responsibilities.
3
these.
4
Stay tuned to see what I get up to.
5
It's currently just past 8am.
6
I actually woke up at around 7am.
7
Had a really slow morning routine just getting ready and cleaning up.
8
I love slow morning routines like this although I don't do it very often
9
because sometimes I just prefer to sleep but It just feels really nice and productive and also relaxing at the same time.
10
- Oh.
11
I also did a little bit of laundry.
12
Wow, look at the gym I don't use.
13
Stay under the covers.
14
Yeah.
15
I was thinking good.
16
Thanks.
17
So as you guys know, I've showed dishes from other cultures before on my other vlogs, but I've never really showed any dishes from my own culture.
18
I'm Chinese Malaysian by the way, so I thought I'd cook one of my comfort dishes for breakfast to show you guys.
19
I've set the alarm for my laundry, so now we're gonna get cooking.
20
We're gonna be making steamed Thank you.
21
Wait, how do you call it in English?
22
Mince, stain the pork with egg.
23
Yes, yes.
24
Three eggs.
25
No measurements here, just use your Asian eyeballs.
26
Back in school, a lot of Malaysian kids would eat this for lunch or our moms would make this for dinner.
27
It's super nostalgic, cheap, delicious, basically the best ingredients for...
28
In your arms - Okay.
29
So while that is steaming, we're gonna go transfer the laundry from the washer to the dryer comfort meal.
30
I'll also be meeting Shelly later for lunch
31
and you guys already know her from my first vlog so super excited about that.
32
- So I just ate brunch and finished the rest of my makeup.
33
But I remember that I still had a lot of time before I need to
34
take out my clothes from the laundry So I decided to do my work.
35
Usually I'll take a fat juicy juicy nap
36
But I really need to start preparing for this huge human sciences from Cells to Society,
37
the essay, that I have due on November 2nd which is like two weeks from now.
38
For this essay actually, you have to include everything that you've learned throughout the semester,
39
so here I'm just looking back at all my modules and writing what we touched on in each one,
40
so I can kind of keep track of my writing and not stray away from my theme.
41
My lecturer just sent an email saying that she marked our essay already so Let's check the results together.
42
Do you guys see that?
43
Might be too.
44
Yes.
45
This subject is all about pandemics, how we understand and respond to them.
46
So I want to actually major in immunology next year.
47
And this subject is a really interesting and Exciting way to introduce myself to that aspect of science.
48
Okay, so I think I'm gonna go get my laundry really quickly.
49
I'll just Fold it later.
50
One of my camera bachelors actually just fell out of my clothes.
51
I've been trying to find it for the past month but I guess that's where it went.

X So I wanted to talk to you guys a little bit.
182
I just love studying with my friends and you notice
183
that a lot in my vlogs I don't know there's just something
184
so motivational about having someone with you
185
and both of you work towards your goals or work towards a single passion There's just something so inspirational about that.
186
Like yesterday, I met Yuvani and we also studied together I don't go out every day.
187
In fact, the only time that I go out is usually when I have to film or my friends force me
188
like spending time alone and recharging alone.
189
I also just like $3 ,000 lap.
190
What about that?
191
What about that?
192
No footpath riding, what does that mean?
193
Do we have to ride on the bicycle lane?
194
Yeah, I think so.
195
We can last 14 - Which one are you?
196
Remember that riding on footpaths is not allowed.
197
Okay, let's try, let's try.
198
Hold on, wait let's -
199
I would build more but you know, safety.
200
Yeah!
201
How much is it?
202
$10.
203
$10 for that few hundred meters?
204
Yeah!
205
Okay, oh shoot!
206
I need to find it in Sto noodles.
207
I think this is cheaper, but it feels illegal to buy so much in Sto noodles.
208
So I think I'm gonna get this.
209
Let's FaceTime my mom.
210
The brand.
211
Okay, Yang say hi to the camera.
212
Hi.
213
Hi.
214
I see your picture is okay.
215
Wrong.
216
So I wanted to go home and relax and take a nap, but Reign said that she wanted to film a TikTok together, so I guess I'm here.
217
We have a new supporting character in this vlog.
218
Rain!
219
Hi.
220
Hi.
221
Rain.
222
Oh!
223
I was like, what was she looking at?
224
Yeah, I just realised that every time you're on my vlog, you're in a supermarket.
225
It's her favourite place.
226
It's hot.
227
It's time to eat what?
228
Ice cream!
229
Ice cream!
230
Let's go!
231
This is a famous place in Melbourne, where they wrap your ice cream in mochi skin.
232
Mochi?
233
Mochi?
234
This ice cream was expensive but it was delicious.
235
If you made it this far, comment your dream job if money wasn't an important factor in your decision.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
