1
Well, hello, all of my students.
2
I hope you're having a fantastic day.
3
My name is Jay and welcome to another English lesson here on the channel.
4
Today, I am going to help you improve your English by reading a story at a moderate pace
5
and explaining key vocabulary words and phrases.
6
Now, today's story is something I put together that many of us as adults can relate to.
7
So as an English learner, if you're from 21 to maybe 45 or 50 and over,
8
you will definitely be able to relate to today's story.
9
So I'll read it slow and explain it.
10
And I want you to take notes of the key words and phrases, and you'll be able to practice them at a later time.
11
Okay, so let's get ready for some learning and laughter and let's dive into today's story.
12
Madison had not planned to spend her Saturday morning thinking about car insurance, okay?
13
She had not planned.
14
She had not scheduled.
15
This was something that she did not look forward to doing.
16
However, her old policy was about to expire,
17
which created an unexpected sense of urgency.
18
Unexpected sense of urgency.
19
So something unexpected is the same as saying something that is not planned.
20
You did not know it was going to happen.
21
All right.
22
When we talk about urgency, urgency, a strong need to act quickly.
23
Okay.
24
It was of great urgency to get my pregnant wife to the hospital.
25
Oh, my goodness.
26
I remember when we had our first child and I thought it was going to happen like the movies.
27
You know, when she has her water break, I thought the baby was coming immediately.
28
And so at two or three o'clock in the morning, I am racing down the highway with the utmost urgency to get to the hospital.
29
And she was in labor for hours.
30
I felt like a plum fool.
31
Let's continue and find out what happens.
32
She opened several websites and began a careful comparison of different insurance plans.
33
Now, when you talk about a comparison,
34
it's examining differences between your choices or options.
35
You compare.
36
When you go shopping for shoes, you compare one pair of shoes to another.
37
That's a comparison.
38
Some people compare McDonald's to Burger King.
39
They look at the two options and they notice the differences.
40
Well, some people like the fries at McDonald's more so than Burger King.
41
But some people like their burgers grilled instead of fried like they do at McDonald's.
42
That's a comparison.
43
Okay.
44
Some people compare my channel to other English channels.
45
Okay.
46
At first, the process felt confusing because each company used slightly different terminology, slightly different terminology.
47
So when we talk about terminology, special words used in a particular field.
48
OK, so there are certain terms that a doctor uses that I wouldn't use.
49
But then there are certain terms that a police officer uses that a teacher would not use.
50
OK, one item 12.
51
We have a 1911 going in progress now.
52
Send a 1040 to the scene.
53
I am at.
54
So who knows what that means?
55
Different terminology, different words are used to express different things.
56
OK, so she was confused when she was reading through the websites.
57
One quote looked attractive until she noticed a high deductible hidden in the details.
58
Okay.
59
A deductible.
60
The amount you pay before insurance covers cost.
61
All right.
62
So some people have a $500 deductible.
63
Some people have a thousand dollar deductible.
64
Meaning if there's an accident,
65
you pay the first $500 and then they pay the remainder or you pay the first $1,000 and then they pay the remainder.
66
That's a deductible, all right?
67
Now, notice a high deductible was hidden in the details.
68
She didn't see it, okay?
69
She did not recognize it.
70
She did not notice it.
71
It was hidden from her.
72
Another plan offered broader coverage, but the monthly payment seemed slightly higher, okay?
73
broader coverage, meaning they offered more, a broader range, a greater range.
74
So maybe it had roadside assistance.
75
Maybe it had rental car coverage.
76
It had broader coverage.
77
Coverage.
78
Coverage has to do with protection provided by an insurance company.
79
Cover.
80
Notice the word cover inside of coverage.
81
So when we talk about coverage, it has to do with something covering, okay, or protection.
82
The roof provided coverage from the storm, okay?
83
The umbrella gave me coverage during the wet season, okay?
84
Coverage.
85
Madison realized she needed to examine the fine print before making any quick decisions.
86
Okay, she realized, she thought about it.
87
She needed to examine, look closely so nothing would be missed or overlooked.
88
Now, when we talk about the fine print,
89
the fine print, Small details in a contract that are easy to overlook.
90
All right.
91
So we often say you better read the fine print before you sign that.
92
OK.
93
So you better look at all of the details before you make a final conclusion.
94
All right.
95
The fine print.
96
She called an agent who patiently explained the differences between basic protection and full liability.
97
OK, she called an agent, an agent, someone who represents someone else.
98
OK, in this sense, an agent represents an insurance company.
99
So she gave them a call.
100
OK, liability.
101
When we talk about liability, it has to do with legal responsibility for damage or loss liability.
102
OK, we put a sign out during the rain
103
so people wouldn't slip on the floor and there would be no liability on the company.
104
liability.
105
Okay.
106
The conversation helped remove much of the confusion she had been feeling earlier.
107
The conversation, when you communicate with other people,
108
you converse, conversate, converse, confusion, lack of understanding or clarity.
109
Okay.
110
So you would use this word when you don't understand something.
111
So if you are a beginning English learner, you might say, this is a bit confusing.
112
I don't understand.
113
All right.
114
Confusing.
115
You don't grasp what you should do.
116
It's not really clear yet.
117
All right.
118
Some women are confusing to understand.
119
They say one thing but mean another.
120
Okay, so confusing.
121
It's not clear.
122
You don't understand.
123
Come on, ladies.
124
Don't get upset.
125
You know I'm telling the truth.
126
Still, Madison wanted a policy that provided both financial security and reasonable cost.
127
So in other words, She wanted a plan that was going to suit her needs, that was going to work out for her.
128
Provide security, protection from financial risk, security.
129
All right.
130
We're almost done.
131
After reviewing the numbers again,
132
she noticed one company offered a helpful discount for safe drivers.
133
OK, after reviewing, examining, going over.
134
OK, a discount, discount, a reduction in price discount.
135
Who doesn't love a great discount?
136
OK, the plan balanced affordability with strong protection,
137
which gave her confidence in the choice.
138
Okay.
139
Protection, protection, something that keeps you safe from harm or loss.
140
Okay.
141
Protection.
142
All right.
143
The dog provided protection for the family.
144
Okay.
145
He bought a firearm for personal protection.
146
Okay.
147
President Trump talks about protecting America.
148
Okay.
149
To offer to keep someone safe from harm.
150
All right.
151
Let's wind it up with these last two sentences.
152
By the afternoon, Madison finalized the policy and received a confirmation email.
153
Okay.
154
Finalized.
155
Coming to an end or conclude.
156
I am about to finalize today's English lesson.
157
Finalize to make a lasting decision.
158
All right.
159
Instead of feeling stressed, she felt satisfied knowing that she had made a thoughtful and responsible decision.
160
Okay.
161
She had made a thoughtful and responsible decision.
162
Okay.
163
So that's going to do it for today's quick English lesson.
164
Through story, of course, I have given you about 10 plus words for today.
165
Okay.
166
So what I want you to do is make sure you take two words
167
if you are a beginner and use two words in a conversation within the next week.
168
If you are intermediate or advanced, you should be using three to maybe five words.
169
OK, make sure you watch today's lesson again.
170
I didn't make it too long.
171
And so I want you to watch it once with the subtitles on and once with the subtitles off.

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.
