1
Hey Tom, look at this flyer.
2
What is it?
3
Let me see.
4
It's a cooking competition next week.
5
It is right here in our town.
6
Oh, that looks fun.
7
You love cooking.
8
You make the best pasta.
9
I know.
10
I really want to join,
11
but I am a bit scared.
12
Why are you scared?
13
You are a great cook.
14
But look at the judges.
15
They are famous chefs.
16
I never went to cooking school.
17
That doesn't matter.
18
The food tastes good or it doesn't.
19
I suppose so.
20
But what if I make a mistake?
21
What if I burn the food?
22
Everyone will see it.
23
Everyone makes mistakes.
24
Even famous chefs burn things.
25
True.
26
But it is still stressful.
27
Maybe I should just watch from the audience.
28
No way.
29
You will regret it.
30
You have nothing to lose.
31
The entry fee is free,
32
and the first prize is a new oven.
33
Really?
34
A new oven?
35
I didn't see that.
36
Yes.
37
So don't overthink it.
38
Just give it a shot.
39
You are right.
40
I need a new oven.
41
And it might be a good experience.
42
Exactly.
43
You won't know until you try.
44
Okay.
45
I will do it.
46
I will sign up today and give it a shot.
47
the spirit.
48
I'll be there to help you eat the food.
49
Thanks for the support.
50
This is impossible.
51
It is so heavy.
52
Why did I buy such a big sofa?
53
Hey, what are you doing?
54
You look like you were fighting a bear.
55
Very funny.
56
I am trying to move this sofa to the other wall.
57
Why?
58
It looks fine right here.
59
I want to change the room layout.
60
The light is better over there.
61
I want to read by the window.
62
Okay, I see.
63
But you can't move that alone.
64
It is solid wood.
65
You will hurt your back.
66
I know.
67
I tried pushing it, but it won't move an inch.
68
I'm stuck.
69
Do you want me to help?
70
Yes, please.
71
Can you come here and give me a hand?
72
Sure.
73
Let's lift it on three.
74
One, two, three.
75
Lift.
76
Okay.
77
Walk slowly.
78
Watch out for the rug.
79
Don't trip.
80
I got it.
81
Just tell me where to stop.
82
A little bit more to the left.
83
Perfect.
84
Put it down.
85
Whew.
86
That was heavier than I thought.
87
I couldn't have done it without you.
88
It looks much better now.
89
It does look nice by the window.
90
Great idea.
91
Thanks for giving me a hand.
92
Now I can finally relax and read my book.
93
No problem.
94
Just don't ask me to move the piano next.
95
Don't worry.
96
I won't.
97
Wow, look at this red car.
98
It is so shiny.
99
Is this yours?
100
Yes, it is.
101
I finally bought it two days ago.
102
It looks very powerful.
103
How does it drive?
104
Is it difficult to handle?
105
Not really.
106
It is a bit big,
107
so I am still learning how to park it.
108
But so far, so good.
109
Why did you buy a new car?
110
Your old one was fine.
111
My old car was terrible.
112
It broke down every month.
113
The repair bills were too high.
114
I see.
115
Is it a gas car or an electric one?
116
It uses gas.
117
I often drive long distances to visit my parents.
118
I don't like waiting at charging stations.
119
I prefer a traditional engine.
120
That makes sense.
121
Gas is easier for long trips.
122
So how is the interior?
123
Is it comfortable?
124
It is great.
125
The seats are soft and there's a lot of legroom.
126
I have no complaints.
127
So far, so good.
128
That sounds perfect.
129
Can you drive me to the supermarket?
130
Sure.
131
We can test the air conditioner.
132
Hey!
133
Hey, you made it on time.
134
The line is getting long.
135
Yeah, the traffic was bad,
136
but I am here now.
137
I am ready to see the show.
138
Great.
139
Hand me the tickets.
140
I want to scan them and find our seats.
141
The tickets?
142
Oh, no. Don't tell me you forgot them.
143
You promised to print them out yesterday.
144
I am so sorry.
145
I was in such a rush to leave the house.
146
It completely slipped my mind.
147
I can't believe this.
148
We drove all the way here.
149
We can't get in without them.
150
Wait, don't panic.
151
Let me think.
152
Do you have them on your phone?
153
I think so.
154
I usually save the email.
155
Let me check my inbox.
156
Please hurry.
157
The show starts in 10 minutes.
158
Found it.
159
Here's the QR code.
160
We are safe.
161
Thank goodness.
162
You almost gave me a heart attack.
163
I apologize again.
164
Next time I will set an alarm so it doesn't slip my mind.
165
Good plan.
166
Now let's go inside before we are late.
167
I can't take another step.
168
My legs are shaking like crazy.
169
Don't stop now.
170
We are so high up.
171
You are doing great.
172
It is too steep.
173
Plus, my water bottle is empty.
174
I just want to sit on this rock and wait for a helicopter to rescue me.
175
You are exaggerating.
176
Look up.
177
The peak is just behind those pine trees.
178
Just hang in there.
179
Are you sure?
180
You said we were close an hour ago.
181
I feel like I'm going to pass out from the heat.
182
I promise this time it is about 10 minutes away.
183
Here, drink the rest of my water.
184
Thanks.
185
Okay, that helps a bit.
186
10 minutes doesn't sound too bad.
187
I really want to see that view.
188
Exactly.
189
You are stronger than you think.
190
Just hang in there a little longer.
191
Okay, I'm ready.
192
Let's finish this mountain before my legs quit completely.
193
Let's go, step by step.
194
I can't sit still.
195
I have been walking around this room for an hour.
196
I can see that.
197
You look really anxious.
198
What is going on?
199
It is about my career.
200
I received two job offers yesterday.
201
Two offers?
202
That is amazing news.
203
Most people can't even find one job.
204
I know I should be happy,
205
but I am totally stuck.
206
I honestly don't know which one to pick.
207
Well, the companies are waiting.
208
You need to make up your mind soon.
209
I know.
210
That is the problem.
211
Let me tell you about them.
212
Okay.
213
What is the first option?
214
The first one is at a big bank in the city.
215
The salary is huge.
216
It is a lot of money.
217
That sounds great.
218
What about the second one?
219
The second one is a small design studio.
220
The pay is average, but the office is five minutes from my house.
221
So it's money versus time.
222
That is a tough choice.
223
Exactly.
224
The bank job means two hours on the train every day.
225
I hate crowded trains.
226
Two hours is a long time.
227
You will be tired every evening.
228
Is the money worth it?
229
I don't think so.
230
I value my free time.
231
I want to have a life after work.
232
Then the answer seems clear.
233
Don't chase the money if it makes you miserable.
234
You are right.
235
I don't need a luxury life.
236
I prefer the local job.
237
See?
238
You just decided.
239
Yes, I did.
240
I will take the design job.
241
I am so glad I finally made up my mind.
242
Good for you.
243
Now, please stop walking and sit down.
244
Thank you.

You will learn how to express enthusiasm, deal with fears related to performance, and encourage someone to take action despite their doubts. This practical conversation helps improve your speaking skills by enabling you to engage in relatable topics while building confidence in your everyday English usage.

Practice Tips

To maximize your speaking practice with this video, consider using a shadowing app to enhance your learning experience. Begin by listening to the conversation once to familiarize yourself with the tone and rhythm. Try to shadow the speakers, mimicking their pronunciation, intonation, and pace. This dialogue is relatively casual and at a moderate speed, making it ideal for practice.

When you shadow, pause after each sentence or phrase to repeat it aloud, focusing on natural speech patterns. If you feel comfortable, practice with a friend or record yourself to compare against the original dialogue. You can also incorporate this practice into your IELTS speaking practice by discussing similar scenarios about competitions or public performances, which also enriches your vocabulary. The more you practice, the easier it will become to navigate conversations in real life.

Lastly, remember to relax and enjoy the learning process. Engaging with videos like this to learn English with YouTube can be both informative and entertaining, helping you to become more fluent and confident in your English speaking abilities.

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.
