Xin chào, xin chào!
2
We haven't done a shadowing practice video for a while, so let's do one today.
3
Date is coming really soon, so we're gonna talk about how special this time of year is.
4
This speech is my loichupte to you guys.
5
As I read out loud, try to read it along with me, mimicking me as close as you can.
6
Alright, let's do it.
7
As date approaches, there's a kind of magic in the air, isn't there?
8
It's not just the scent of beng chung being steamed or the vibrant colors of hua mai and hua dao blooming.
9
It's the anticipation of something we all long for deep down, time with family.
10
For many of us in our 20s and 30s, life has taken us far from home.
11
Whether it's chasing career dreams, settling into married life, or raising little ones,
12
we often find ourselves with fewer chances to sit around the family table like we used to.
13
The demands of adulthood pull us in every direction and before we know it, another year has passed.
14
But then date comes along and everything pauses.
15
Date is so much more than just a holiday.
16
It's the heartbeat of our year.
17
It's the time when we drop everything, pack our bags, and make the journey home.
18
For those of us who only get a few fleeting weekends with family during the year, date is a gift.
19
It's not just about the food or the traditions.
20
It's about filling the void of lost time with laughter, stories, and love.
21
I think about how special it is to watch my parents' faces light up when the family is finally together again,
22
or how my younger siblings lean in to hear every word of my stories from the city.
23
Maybe you're like me too,
24
torn between the independence you built and the warmth of home you crave.
25
Date bridges that gap.
26
This year, let's savor it.
27
Let's soak in every moment of the week or however much time we get.
28
And let's remind ourselves why these gatherings are the memories we'll carry forward.
29
Because at the end of the day, date isn't just about the new year.
30
It's about reconnecting with the people who make us feel whole.
31
As we welcome this special time of year, I want to wish you and your family a date filled with joy,
32
love, and countless beautiful moments.
33
May your home be full of laughter, your table overflowing with delicious food,
34
and your heart warmed by the company of those you hold dear.
35
here's to a year of happiness health and meaningful connections that carry us through the days ahead

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.
