1
We used to play outside.
2
Mom?
3
What did you do when you were my age?
4
Like, 13?
5
"Oh, it was very different from now." We used to play outside a lot more.
6
We would stay out until the streetlights came on.
7
Really?
8
No phones or video games?
9
No, not like you have now.
10
We used to ride our bikes everywhere.
11
My friends and I would explore the woods behind our houses.
12
Wow!
13
That sounds cool.
14
What about school?
15
Did you have homework every day?
16
Oh yes!
17
We used to have a lot of math homework.
18
I would sometimes do it with my friend Sarah at her house after school.
19
We helped each other a lot.
20
So you used to hang out with friends a lot too?
21
Yes, we did.
22
My parents would sometimes let us have sleepovers, too.
23
That was always fun.
24
Did you also like watching TV?
25
We did, but we would mostly be outside or talking.
26
We used to listen to music on a big radio, too. That sounds so...
27
Simple. but fun.
28
A clear desk means a clearer mind.
29
Your desk is always so tidy, Ben.
30
How do you do it?
31
Mine is a mess.
32
Oh, it's not too hard.
33
I have a system.
34
Really?
35
Tell me your secret.
36
Well, everything has a place.
37
My pens are always in this pen holder beside my monitor.
38
I see.
39
Mine are just scattered.
40
My important papers go in this tray on the left.
41
and my notebook is always in the top drawer on the left side under the desk.
42
My stapler and hole punch are inside the middle drawer.
43
That's clever.
44
What do you keep in the bottom drawer?
45
scissors and sticky notes, paper clips and envelopes.
46
What about your files?
47
All my files are in that big cabinet next to my desk.
48
So, nothing is left on the desk overnight?
49
No, nothing.
50
And where are all your cables?
51
They are tucked away behind the desk, not sprawled across it.
52
Wow, that's really impressive, Ben.
53
You've given me some good ideas.
54
Give it a try!
55
A clear desk often means a clearer mind.
56
A busy schedule.
57
What have you got planned for today, Anita?
58
Oh, let me see.
59
Well, first, at 9 a .m.
60
I have a...
61
Team meeting.
62
It's about the new project.
63
Right, the big one.
64
Exactly.
65
Then at half past ten I need to call the supplier.
66
We need to check on the delivery.
67
Important call, that!
68
Yes, very.
69
After that at 12 o 'clock I'm meeting Mary for lunch.
70
We need to discuss the budget report.
71
Sounds like a working lunch.
72
Pretty much.
73
Then later this afternoon at a quarter to three, I have a quick video call with the London office.
74
Okay.
75
And after that?
76
Let's see.
77
At 10 past 5, I need to finish writing that email to the clients.
78
It's quite long.
79
And finally at 7 p .m.
80
I have my book club meeting.
81
We're discussing a new novel.
82
Wow, Anita!
83
That really is a busy day.
84
Tell me about it.
85
I hope I can fit everything in.
86
Good luck with it all.
87
Thanks, Sam.
88
You too.
89
Hey Beth, what are you doing?
90
Hi, Andrew!
91
Just checking my calendar for next month.
92
It's getting busy.
93

94
What's up?
95
Well, on November 1st, there's that big rock concert we talked about. Are you still going?

"Yes, I already bought my ticket.
97
I'm super excited for that." Me too!
98
Then, On November 2nd, Is my sister's birthday?
99
I need to remember to get her a gift!
100
Oh, that's very important to remember.
101
Yes, it is.
102
And guess what?
103
On November 15th, my parents are celebrating their 25th anniversary!
104
Wow, that's a big one!
105
Are they having a party?
106
Yes, a small dinner.
107
You should come if you're free.
108
"I'd love to." Great! And then...
109
A few days later, on November 23rd, Our team has that big presentation at work.
110
So lots happening in November.
111
It sure is.
112
Not really, Paul.
113
I want a soda, but I don't know how to use this thing.
114
The vending machine?
115
It's easy.
116
I'll show you.
117
What drink do you want? That one!
118
The orange soda!
119
Okay?
120
Now, look closely.
121
See the little number next to it?
122
Oh yes, it says B3.
123

124
You need to type that into the keypad.
125
Okay.
126
Beep.
127
Beep.
128
It beeped.
129
What now?
130
Now you need to put your money in.
131
Thank you.
132
Do you have coins or a bill?
133
I have a dollar bill.
134
See the slot here?
135
Slide your dollar in, face up.
136
It took it!
137
Great!
138
Now, just wait a second.
139
you Oh, my soda!
140

141
That was actually pretty simple.

No problem, Karen.
145
Happy to help.
146
Enjoy your soda.
147
I will.
148
Thanks again.
149
Talking about the weather.
150
Hey Kate, how are you?
151
Hi Mike, I'm okay.
152
Just checking the weather for the weekend.
153
Oh?
154
What does it say?
155
Not good.
156
For me, anyway.
157
It says cold and rainy.
158
Maybe even some snow flurries on Sunday.
159
Really?
160
That sounds perfect.
161
Perfect?
162
Are you serious?
163
I hate cold rain! And snow?
164
It's only November!
165
I love it.
166
A crisp, cold weekend is my favorite.
167
I can wear my big sweaters and drink hot chocolate.
168
Maybe read a book by the window.
169
See?
170
That's my nightmare.
171
Thank you.
172
I want sunshine.
173
I want to be outside.
174
Maybe go for a long walk without freezing.
175
I wish it was at least 70 degrees and sunny.
176
But I prefer hot weather.
177
I can't wait for the summer to come back.
178
I can't stand hot weather.
179
I feel so sticky.
180
Give me a cloudy, chilly day anytime.
181
I guess we're very different then.
182
I'll be staying inside, dreaming about summer.
183
And I'll be enjoying every cold minute of it.
184
Maybe I'll even go for a walk in the rain.
185
Brrr, not me.
186
Well, enjoy your cold weekend, Mike.
187
You too, Kate.
188
Relax and enjoy yourself.

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.
