Top Red Handed Okay, I have everything I need on this piece of paper.
2
I must make sure I only look at it when Mrs. Tom isn't looking.
3
I can do this and get a decent grade.
4
I need to do well.
5
Okay, class.
6
You have one hour to complete this exam.
7
I'm here to watch over you and in case you need anything.
8
Remember, you are not allowed to use the bathroom.
9
You are also not allowed to talk and, of course, no cheating.
10
Off you go.
11
Callum Mendez I sincerely hope my eyes mistake me.
12
Excuse me, Mrs. Tom?
13
Did I or did I not just see you with a slip of paper covered in small but very helpful notes?
14
Um, no. Show me your watch, please.
15
But, but, I'm afraid there was a misunderstanding.
16
Take off your watch, please, Mr. Mendez.
17
Okay.
18
Well, well, well.
19
I am surprised at you.
20
I honestly didn't think you would be capable of cheating.
21
How very disappointing.
22
Please, can I explain?
23
Unfortunately, now is not the time,
24
especially whilst the rest of the class continues their exam.
25
You can, however, explain to Mr. Boston.
26
The principal?
27
Yes, exactly.
28
Then I'm sure you will also need to explain to your parents.
29
It may not sound fair,
30
but you should have thought about that before you brought notes into the exam to cheat.
31
Off you go now.
32
Yes, Mrs. Tom.
33
The rest of you, put your heads back down and work, please.
34
I'll come clean.
35
Hey!
36
Good to see you again!
37
Why were you off school?
38
Um, I was sick.
39
Not good at all.
40
I could hardly get out of bed.
41
Oh, wow!
42
You must have been really sick!
43
I can't remember the last time I couldn't get out of bed.
44
What were you sick with?
45
Um, I think it was something I ate.
46
I vomited so many times.
47
Ouch!
48
That sounds bad!
49
What do you think you might have eaten?
50
Well, probably Mom's chicken dinner.
51
Was your family sick too?
52
No, they were fine.
53
Well, that was lucky and incredibly unusual.
54
Yep, unlucky.
55
That's me.
56
Oh, hey Bob!
57
That was an awesome score you got on Cosmic Roller Coaster the other day!
58
Hats off to you!
59
You were so good at that game!
60
Oh, yeah, thanks.
61
No worries.
62
Catch your round!
63
Sure.
64
Okay, let me get this straight.
65
You were too sick to come to school with food poisoning that no one else in your family got,
66
but you could still play Cosmic Roller Coaster?
67
All right, John, you got me.
68
That guy gave me away.
69
I'll come clean and be totally honest here.
70
I just wanted some time off school,
71
and I hadn't revised for the test you all had yesterday.
72
That's so bad.
73
You know you'll have to take it anyway.
74
I know.
75
And please don't lie to me again.
76
I want to be able to trust you.
77
Got it.
78
I'm so sorry.
79
Bargaining at the flea market.
80
Excuse me, how much would you like for this brooch?
81
Which one, please?
82
The purple butterfly.
83
Oh, that one is very popular.
84
It's $75.
85
$75?
86
Oh my goodness.
87
It's beautiful, but I can't afford that.
88
My mother will be disappointed, but never mind.
89
I'll find something at another stall.
90
Thank you very much for your help.
91
How much are you willing to pay?
92
I can't sell myself short.
93
Oh, I couldn't pay a dollar more than forty dollars.
94
Okay, that's too low.
95
I cannot let it go for that.
96
No problem, I understand.
97
How about sixty dollars?
98
Unfortunately, that's still too much.
99
I could stretch to forty-five dollars.
100
Forty-five dollars?
101
No, no, no. Fifty dollars, that's my final offer.
102
Take it or leave it.
103
That's great.
104
I'll take it.
105
My mother will be delighted.
106
Of course.
107
Pass it here and I'll wrap it up for you.
108
Sure.
109
Here you go.
110
Thank you so much.
111
Here is fifty dollars.
112
Thank you.
113
Enjoy the rest of your day.
114
You too.
115
Can you water my plants while I'm out of town?
116
Hi, Tom.
117
How's it going?
118
Pretty good.
119
Thanks.
120
And you, Betty?
121
I'm excellent.
122
Thank you.
123
Listen, I have a favor to ask.
124
Sure thing, Betty.
125
What's up?
126
I'm away over the weekend,
127
and I wondered if you could water my plants for me.
128
Of course!
129
I'm not going anywhere, and the weather looks glorious,
130
so the plants will be very thirsty.
131
Oh, thank you so much.
132
Are you going anywhere nice?
133
Yes, I'm off to visit my daughter and her family by the coast.
134
They have a beach house,
135
and we always make sure to make lots of lovely memories.
136
Oh, how wonderful!
137
Shall I just show you quickly which ones will need it?
138
Why not?
139
Okay, the flower bed will need a good drink of water each day.
140
As will my hanging baskets.
141
And these petunias in the window box.
142
They always dry out so quickly.
143
And here is my greenhouse where I have some potatoes, peppers, and cucumbers.
144
They need water every other day.
145
That's a very beautiful greenhouse.
146
You've done an amazing job, Betty.
147
Thanks.
148
It's been a lot of hard work.
149
So that's all.
150
I hope it's not too much of a hassle with my request.
151
Oh, not at all.
152
Don't worry about it.
153
I'll write it all down and tie it with watering mine.
154
Great.
155
And my watering can is just over by the outdoor tab.
156
Wonderful!
157
I'm all set.
158
Have a lovely time.
159
Thank you for helping out.
160
If you ever need me to do the same for you, just ask.
161
Great.
162
I'll keep that in mind.
163
At the Boutique Hi there.
164
Can I help you at all?
165
Oh, hi.
166
Thank you for asking.
167
Yes, I'm looking to buy a bag.
168
However, I can't decide.
169
I'd be very grateful if you could show me some models,
170
and their features, to help me make up my mind.
171
Of course.
172
You've asked the perfect person.
173
I love bags.
174
Me too.
175
Okay, what kind of bag are you looking for?
176
I need something for work,
177
but I also want it to be stylish.
178
Absolutely.
179
So it must be big enough to put my laptop in and a few other bits for the office.
180
I also love pockets, so something with lots of extra storage would be great.
181
No problem at all.
182
I guess you'll be carrying a lot,
183
so it needs to be durable.
184
Yes, definitely.
185
Any preference for the color?
186
Not so much, just nothing bland and neutral.
187
I want it to be vibrant and bursting with color.
188
Great!
189
I'd say the best option is this one.
190
It has lots of pockets for your bits and pieces.
191
It's also waterproof, an excellent feature for transporting your laptop.
192
Oh wow, I didn't notice that one before.
193
I love it.
194
It's exactly what I need.
195
Great.
196
Are you sure you don't need to look at any others?
197
Nope, I've fallen in love with this one.
198
Wonderful.
199
Let me take it to the till for you.
200
Asking for a day off.
201
Excuse me, Mr. Yee?
202
Oh, hi there, Finn.
203
Come on in.
204
Thank you, sir.
205
Please, have a seat.
206
What can I do for you today?
207
I need to ask for tomorrow off You know the rules,
208
Finn Employees cannot take days off outside the agreed holiday I know,
209
sir And I'm sure you've taken off all the days you can this year I'm sorry,
210
but it's a no We're also mid-project and already behind
211
If you don't come in tomorrow We'll have some explaining to
212
do to our client That's something nobody wants to get involved in I understand all of this However,
213
I really need to take the day off work Could you enlighten me as to why?
214
It's my wife, sir She's been having some medical problems We had a phone call this morning
215
And there's been a cancellation And the doctor can see her tomorrow
216
She can't get there herself And I'm so worried about her health Oh,
217
I see what time is the appointment?
218
it's at 9am
219
ok you can have time off
220
but if you can come in after the appointment
221
or make up the missed work we as a team would really appreciate it.
222
Thank you so much, sir.
223
And of course, I will do my absolute best to make sure the project doesn't fall behind.
224
I wish your wife well in her appointment.
225
Thank you.
226
That means a lot.
227
What seems to be the problem?
228
Hi there.
229
Hi.
230
Thank you for coming over.
231
Okay.
232
So what seems to be the problem?
233
We're having problems with dampness in this apartment.
234
My wife and I have to wipe the mold off the walls and ceiling every day.
235
I see.
236
Where is this happening?
237
It's all over the house,
238
although the children's bedroom is the worst.
239
They constantly cough now, and I'm worried about the situation.
240
I think it's affecting their health.
241
I see.
242
Is there another room they could sleep in?
243
They could, although every room is affected.
244
I also think that as a landlord,
245
you need to find a solution to this problem and not try to cover it.
246
Yes, I understand.
247
Although it could become very costly.
248
I pay rent to you every month to put a roof over my family's head.
249
I feel disappointed that you don't seem to think the problem is enough to warrant action I don't want to move However,
250
unless you tackle this problem soon I will look to take my family elsewhere
251
I do understand your worry I will look into this problem
252
and let you know the course of action within the week In the meantime,
253
I will send around a cleaning team Thank you I appreciate your cooperation.
254
I'll be in touch.
255
Teacher-parent discussion.
256
Hi, Mrs. Diaz.
257
Thank you for coming in at such short notice.
258
Of course.
259
I was concerned when I received your telephone call.
260
I hope Chrissy is okay and behaving.
261
Well, yes.
262
There is nothing wrong with her behavior,
263
as far as I can see.
264
However, her grades have recently dipped considerably,
265
and she has failed the last two tests.
266
This is very out of character for Chrissy.
267
Oh, goodness!
268
This surprises me.
269
Yes, that's how I feel.
270
I wanted to speak to you,
271
firstly to let you know,
272
But also to ask whether you may see a reason why this has happened.
273
Well, no. We don't have anything unsettling happening at home,
274
and her behavior hasn't changed.
275
It's very unusual for such a dramatic change.
276
It's almost like she has stopped caring about school.
277
Has anything changed at all for Chrissy?
278
I can only think that she's spending time with a different group.
279
She's made new friends.
280
Ah, okay.
281
This has the potential to change her attitude towards school and her studies.
282
Okay, how do we move forwards?
283
I think it best if I chat with her in school first.
284
Then, if things don't improve,
285
we'll plan a meeting to discuss the issue further.
286
Okay, thank you so much, Mrs. Miller.
287
You're welcome.
288
Thank you for coming in.

Repeat phrases immediately after you hear them, mimicking not only the pronunciation but also the intonation.

By integrating your learning with the learn English with YouTube approach, you will find that these methods facilitate smoother transitions into more complex conversations and improve your overall fluency.
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.
