1
Welcome to my channel, let's practice your listening skill.
2
With video level C1, and the topic is shopping.
3
Now listen carefully.
4
Tet is almost here.
5
Have you finished your shopping and preparation yet?
6
Or are you still waiting until the last minute like always?
7
Surprisingly, I've already bought everything I need.
8
Clothes, decorations, even gifts.
9
I handled it all online this year. That fast?
10
I was actually planning to go to the traditional market tomorrow with my mom.
11
She still prefers buying things in person.
12
Why not just order online?
13
Platforms like TikTok Shop and Shopee deliver everything straight to your door.
14
It's cheaper, more convenient, and you don't even have to leave the house.
15
Honestly, it saves so much time and energy.
16
Is it really that much cheaper?
17
My mom doesn't trust online shopping.
18
She's afraid of being scammed or receiving low-quality products.
19
That used to be a big concern, but now there are return and refund policies.
20
If you don't like the product, you simply return it and get your money back.
21
As long as you choose carefully, read reviews, and buy from stores with many positive ratings, the risk is minimal.
22
There are even vouchers and discounts everywhere.
23
That does sound convenient.
24
No wonder I've noticed fewer people going to the market these past few years.
25
It feels quieter every TED.
26
The sellers look worried.
27
Of course they do.
28
Consumer habits have changed.
29
Especially Gen Z, we are used to speed and convenience.
30
Most young people would rather scroll and order than walk around bargaining for hours.
31
True.
32
And to be honest, sometimes market prices are unpredictable.
33
A pair of pants might originally cost $100, but some sellers raise it to $500 and expect customers to negotiate.
34
That frustrates people.
35
Exactly.
36
If people can get the same quality for a lower price and clearer price online, why wouldn't they choose that?
37
It's not personal, it's just rational consumer behavior.
38
Still, I can't help feeling sorry for the market vendors.
39
Tet is their most important season of the year.
40
If sales keep dropping, their holiday will be filled with stress instead of joy.
41
I understand that, but we can't ignore reality either.
42
We are not wealthy enough to pay higher prices just to support tradition.
43
People choose what benefits them.
44
That's how modern society works.
45
I guess modernization is unavoidable.
46
Online shopping allows customers to compare prices, read feedback, and return products easily.
47
It feels safer and more transparent.
48
Exactly.
49
When you shop at the market, you spend hours walking from stall to stall.
50
Sometimes you don't even find what you're looking for.
51
And if the product has a problem, there's usually no clear exchange policy.
52
That's very true.
53
And honestly, as an introvert, I feel uncomfortable bargaining.
54
I don't even dare to ask too many questions.
55
If something goes wrong, I'm too embarrassed to return it.
56
See?
57
Online shopping removes that pressure.
58
You can message customer service anytime.
59
The prices are fixed, so there's no awkward negotiation.
60
If you like it, you buy it.
61
If not, you move on.
62
But don't you think something is missing?
63
The feeling of going to the market with family, choosing flowers, hearing the noise and excitement.
64
Tet used to feel more alive.
65
I agree.
66
There's definitely a nostalgic element we're losing.
67
But convenience often wins over sentiment.
68
Society keeps moving forward whether we like it or not.
69
It's just sad imagining those vendors sitting there with unsold goods while people stay home scrolling on their phones.
70
That's the harsh side of modernization.
71
Every technological shift creates winners and losers.
72
You sound so realistic, almost cold.
73
Maybe, but I'm just being practical.
74
If you're planning to shop at the market, you should hurry, otherwise you might not find what you want.
75
And if you decide to buy online, you'd better do it soon before delivery services stop before TET.
76
So basically, if I wait too long, I'll have to wear my old clothes for the new year.
77
Exactly.
78
And that would be tragic.
79
Fine.
80
I'll at least check some online stores tonight, but I might still go to the market with my mom.
81
Not everything can be replaced by convenience.
82
That's fair.
83
Just don't complain later if the delivery doesn't arrive on time.
84
Deal.
85
But if I end up finding better deals than you, don't be jealous.
86
We'll see about that.
87
Tet is almost here.
88

Since the conversation in this video is dynamic and reflective of real-life interactions, pay attention to the natural rhythms and intonations of the speakers. Here are some tips to effectively implement shadow speaking:
- Start Slowly: If the pace feels too fast, pause the video and practice each sentence until you feel comfortable.

By incorporating these methods into your routine and learning English with YouTube, you'll notice significant improvements in your speaking skills and overall confidence in using the language. Happy practicing!
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.
