So, Jim, tell us what you do when you wake up.
10
Well, Sarah, firstly I take a shower.
11
Then I brush my teeth and hair.
12
After I get dressed, I always drink a glass of water.
13
Then I make my way downstairs for breakfast.
14
That's interesting.
15
Why do you drink a glass of water?
16
It's a great way to start the day,
17
and it can help boost your brain.

Then what do you do?
19
I eat a healthy breakfast, usually oats and fruit.
20
Do you drink coffee in the morning?

Of course, I drink coffee with my breakfast.

Then I'm ready to head out and enjoy the day.
23
Where do you usually have lunch?
24
I usually have lunch at my studio with my colleagues.
25
I bring my lunch with me from home,
26
because otherwise, I end up eating junk food.
27
I often have broccoli and lentils, or smoothies.
28
And how much time do you spend in the studio?
29
At least six to eight hours a day.
30
How many times a week do you work out?

I try to work out almost every day.
32
If I can't find the time,
33
I'll just do 5 to 10 minutes of push-ups.
34
What time do you usually go to bed?
35
I go to bed at about 11 p.m every night.
36
You'll usually find me going with high energy until 11 p.m.

And then the minute I hit the pillow, I'm asleep.
38
A new job.

I will begin as a cashier.
49
What does that mean?
50
I'll be scanning items and taking money from the customers.
51
You'll be fantastic doing that.
52
If I do well, I'll have the chance to move to customer services.
53
What will you be doing there?
54
That's where I help customers who need help or want to return items.
55
Perfect!

You're great with people, so I know you'll do really well.

Friends Getting Fit Hey Brad, how are you?
62
Hey Stan, I'm great, thank you.
63
You look great.
64
Have you been exercising more?
65
Yes.
66
Last year I decided to be more fit and healthy.
67
What did you do?
68
I started eating better and cutting out the junk.
69
Oh, yes.
70
I think I should do that, too.
71
I felt better straight away and made sure I ate lots of fruits and vegetables.
72
Have you been going to the gym, too?
73
Yes.
74
I started running five kilometers first,
75
but then I wanted to build muscle,
76
too, so I became a member at the gym.
77
It's got a great atmosphere,
78
and everyone is very helpful.
79
Maybe I will join you.
80
You should.
81
You'll start to feel better quickly and have more energy, too.
82
I'd like that.
83
When do you train?
84
I go on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
85
Perfect!
86
I can join them, too!
87
Will you show me how to do it?
88
Of course, I can help you.
89
And there are instructors, too.
90
Brilliant!
91
I'm looking forward to it!
92
Me, too!
93
See you on Monday!
94
We've finally moved in!
95
Hi there!
96
Hi!
97
I wanted to introduce myself.
98
We've just moved into the old house next door.
99
Oh, hi!
100
It's great to meet you.
101
My name is Sandy.
102
It's nice to meet you, too.
103
My name is Julia.
104
Welcome to our neighborhood.
105
How was the move?
106
Thank you.
107
It has been hard, but I'm glad we finally moved in.
108
Yes, I can imagine.
109
I have three children.
110
What is there for them to do in this town?
111
We've always lived here.
112
It's great for children.
113
They can walk to school just down the path.
114
Oh, that's good to know.
115
There's a park not far away and a shopping center.
116
My daughter will be happy about that.
117
She loves shopping.
118
There's also a skate park and an outdoor swimming pool that children love.
119
Oh, my son wants to take swimming lessons, so that's perfect.
120
Behind us is an incredible forest, perfect for exploring.
121
Wow, that sounds amazing.
122
I think we'll love living here.
123
Yes, I'm sure you will.
124
It's been lovely meeting you.
125
Hopefully we can catch up again soon and maybe introduce our children.
126
That's a brilliant idea.
127
Bye for now.
128
Bye, and good luck unpacking!
129
Life is not just about studying.
130
Hey, Riley, are you coming to band practice tomorrow?
131
I'm sorry, Jed, but something came up and I can't come any longer.
132
Oh, no!
133
That's bad!
134
Why not?
135
My dad doesn't want me to.
136
You must be kidding.
137
But what happened?
138
He just thinks it'll stop me from studying.
139
My grades have been dropping from A's to B's lately.
140
I'm so disappointed and angry.
141
It's so unfair.
142
Being in a band makes me happy.
143
But we need you.
144
You're the lead guitarist.
145
We can't play without you.
146
And you need some time to relax.
147
It will help you study better.
148
Life is not just about studying and being at the top in every class class.
149
You need hobbies and passions too.
150
You're right.
151
I'll try my luck again tonight,
152
and I'll do my best to convince him this time.
153
That's a great plan.
154
Good luck.
155
Thanks.
156
You have what it takes.
157
Please be honest with me, Brandon.
158
Do you think I've got a chance of being in the team?
159
I've got myself really worked up about it.
160
Well, I think you've got a good chance of being selected in the team.
161
You really think so?
162
Yes, you'd be good in the team.
163
You're a great player.
164
You can control and dribble the ball in tight spaces.
165
And you can also run very fast.
166
I think that's amazing.
167
You have what it takes to be a great player and a great teammate.
168
Oh, that's music to my ears.
169
I needed to hear that.
170
However, I don't want to get your hopes up.
171
I know Jason and Liam want to get in the team, too.
172
They're also good players.
173
Everyone wants to be in the soccer team,
174
and there's only one place, unfortunately.
175
That's right.
176
Anyway, you should always look on the bright side.
177
Just keep at it and strive to improve.
178
Thanks for the support, bro.
179
It means a lot.
180
That's what friends are for.
181
Emergency Calls Hey, Sam, you look tired today.
182
Yeah, I'm exhausted.
183
Did you have many emergency calls today?
184
We had five in total,
185
and one was for an accident on the roof of a house.
186
On the roof?
187
But what happened?
188
The caller was very distressed.
189
Her cat had climbed out of her window and onto the roof of their house.
190
Oh, no. Couldn't it get down by itself?
191
Cats are generally good at getting down from heights.
192
No, not this time.
193
It was so high on the roof.
194
But that wasn't all.
195
Oh, what else happened?
196
The cat did try to get down,
197
but then it slipped and got its paw stuck under a roof tile.
198
Oh, poor thing.
199
But then, the owner saw this and couldn't let their cat fall,
200
so she climbed out of the window as well.
201
That's so dangerous.
202
It is, and the owner shouldn't have done it.
203
What happened next?
204
Were they okay?
205
The owner also got stuck and almost fell.
206
Luckily, we got there when we did.
207
Did you save them both?
208
Yes.
209
We used the ladder to climb to the roof and could help them both down.
210
Thank goodness.
211
What would you do in my place?
212
Hey, Mila, are you okay?
213
You look fed up.
214
Hey Josh, I just got the results of last week's test,
215
and I did so badly.
216
Oh, really?
217
Yes.
218
I thought I'd get a B,
219
but I got an E.
220
I don't know what to do.
221
I can't tell Mom and Dad.
222
They'll be so disappointed.
223
Did you prepare for it?
224
Yes, I spent hours studying,
225
but I was so nervous during the test that my mind went blank.
226
I completely forgot everything.
227
It's so frustrating.
228
I can imagine.
229
That's really tough.
230
What would you do in my place?
231
Well, I'd tell my parents straight away and explain.
232
Let them know that you put in the hard work.
233
Then I'd go to the teacher and ask if they can help so I can score better next time
234
That's excellent advice Mom and dad won't be happy,
235
but they'll find out anyway I'll tell them exactly what happened and that I'll be better prepared in the future Great Thanks,
236
Josh No problem I'm having a birthday party Hey Joey,
237

I'd love to where's the party going to be held?
244

245
the weather forecast says it's going to be a sunny day.
246
What time does it start?
247
It starts at 2 p.m.,
248
but can you come a little earlier?
249
Sure, no problem at all.
250
Do you need any help?
251
Yes, that'll be great.
252

253

254

255

256

257
Do you need me to bring anything?
258
Only my birthday present.
259

260
See you at 12.
261
Do you live around here?
262
Excuse me.
263
Do you live around here?
264
I'm new in this town and I don't really know my way around,
265
so I need some help with directions.
266
Yes, sure.
267
What are you looking for?
268
Do you know where the train station is?
269
The train station is only a short walk away.
270
That's great.
271
My train is in 15 minutes.
272
No problem.
273
You'll be there in plenty of time.
274
Great.
275
Take this road and walk past the school.
276
Then turn left to walk over the bridge.
277
Then you'll see a signpost for the train station.
278
Thank you so much!
279
I must get going!
280
Of course!
281
I'm glad I could help.

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.
