3
To apply, to make a bed, to take medication, electric stove,
4
cleanser, tissue, moisturizer, to feed, to wipe, scale and to let out.
5
Try to listen to these words and try to repeat them after me.
6
And if you already know these words, try to listen for new ones.
7
and try to understand the context.
8
In this video I'm going to do my morning skincare routine.
9
I'm also going to do some chores around the house and I'm going to show you my pads.
10
So let's go.
11
Hi everyone.
12
So I woke up an hour ago but I decided to stay in bed a little bit longer.
13
so now I finally get up and we will start with my skincare routine.
14
First of all I'm going to start with this clarifying foam.
15
Basically it's a cleanser to wash my face.
16
I like to wash my face with cold water because then it gives you this refreshing cold feeling.
17
So this foam structure is also really soft and I like it more than for example gel structure.
18
Now let's rinse it.
19
I like to use just paper tissues to dry my face instead of a towel for example
20
so I believe this is a better option.
21
First step done!
22
Now my face is clean.
23
Let's move to the next step and this is serum.
24
Ha!
25
Unexpected.
26
It's a vitamin C serum that I use in my face.
27
I apply it when my face is already clean
28
and I use it to give my face this glow and so that my skin doesn't look so pale.
29
When your skin is pale, your skin is basically white and you look almost like you're sick.
30
So I don't like when my skin is pale that's why i use this vitamin c serum
31
and i'm applying it my face a few drops
32
and you can see here it states that the shelf life can be prolonged
33
if you store it in your fridge
34
so that's what i'm going to do uh i always store this kind of serum in my fridge
35
and the cat is already hungry.
36
Hi cat!
37
And we are moving to the next step and it's a moisturizing cream
38
because my skin right now feels a little bit dry and I need to moisturize it with this cream.
39
So I'm going to apply a small amount of cream on my face
40
and I usually apply all my skincare products just with my hands.
41
So I just use my hands to apply all the skincare products.
42
I have a cat and basically that's your life with a cat that's my life with a cat
43
definition of balance in your life step three is done
44
and we are moving to the last one and also a very important one, SPF cream.
45
So it protects your face, your skin from the sun, from the ultraviolet.
46
I'm applying a small amount of the sunscreen on my face and after that we are done.
47
Okay, so we are done now and ready for the day.
48
So I'm going to change from this pajamas but first let's make the bed.
49
body is made now let's find them some clothes that I'm going to wear so first I choose these
50
linen pants because they are made from linen and I'm going to go for this striped t-shirt let's change.
51
Here's my outfit now.
52
T-shirt, linen pants and my favorite dog too.
53
It looks like the cat wants to eat so let's feed them because there is also another cat.
54
I'm using a scale to give them the right amount of
55
food to measure how many grams of food i need to give them so this is cat food there you go
56
i do the same with the dog food but i mix both dry
57
and wet food together and i also use a scale Sit.
58
Young girl. Can you?
59
wipe the surface, wipe the counter.
60
This part is called the counter.
61
So I'm going to wipe the counter and maybe make breakfast after that.
62
I'm using a cloth to wipe the surface because dust and fur from the cats are everywhere.
63
I'm wiping the surface of the electric stove and also the surface of the counter.
64
Before breakfast I'm also going to take some of my medication.
65
So I take medication before breakfast.
66
I take some pills.
67
Another thing that I remember that I have to do is to unload the dishwasher.
68
So I have to take all the clean dishes out of here and put them away in the cabinets.
69
So I have to unload the dishwasher.
70
There is a yoga mat.
71

72
No, I don't want to.
73
So I'm not going to do yoga today.
74

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.
