In this English lesson, you're going to practice the number one speaking technique that will help you to speak clearer,

more fluently, and more confidently in daily conversations.

What's the method?

It's very simple.

All you need to do is listen to my voice and repeat directly after me.

By listening and repeating, you are using fluent vocabulary,

fluent grammar, Excellent pronunciation and you are speaking yourself.

That's essential.

And if you're new here,

hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

And today's worksheet is going to include all of the key questions and sentences that you are going to repeat today.

Plus inside that PDF worksheet,

I have included an important bonus.

It's great to know the sentences,

but you need to be able to speak and use them, right?

So I have included the audio version of today's lesson.

There's going to be a lot of speaking,

listening, and repeating that happens during today's lesson.

And when you download the audio version,

this is like a mini speaking practice.

while you're doing the dishes,

while you're walking the dog.

So how does today's listen and repeat lesson work?

We're going to be talking about 30 commonly used everyday sentences to talk about how your day at work went.

Oftentimes when you come home from work,

someone in your family might ask you this question, how was your day?

Or how was your day at work?

Well, you're going to want some sentences to talk about your day at work, right?

We're going to be talking about some ways to talk about a good day at work,

and then we'll talk about some sentences for a bad day at work,

because both of those are the reality, right?

I'm going to say the sentence and I will pause.

I want you to repeat and say the sentence exactly with me,

and then I will say the sentence again and I will pause again.

There will be a lot of pauses and repeating.

I want you to try to listen to my voice,

speak out loud during the pause,

and then try to repeat exactly while I'm speaking.

This is an excellent way to imitate the vocabulary,

the pronunciation, the sentence structure.

You can do it.

And I hope that no matter what your job is,

some of these sentences will be relevant to you.

And as an English learner, they are all relevant.

So let's get started.

How was your day at work?

This is your chance to repeat.

Go ahead.

Now we're going to talk about some sentences to talk about a good day at work.

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.
